Let me answer this way. This forum is full of knowledgeable Bose knife freaks and no one here bid on it and it is a beautiful knife so I reckon it was too pricey for even the deep pockets here for what it was.

Nobody loves the knives or admires the work of the Boses more than I do but the secondary market is way too steep for me. I can see a couple or a few hundred dollars profit but not double and triple the cost of the knife new. Alas the old supply and demand thing though. If you own it and can get your price for it, more power to you.

If I were a Bose, the first knife I sold a friend which appeared on eBay, would be their last from my shop unless there were extenuating financial circumstances. There are plenty of people who would love to have a Bose knife to cherish and keep and God forbid, even use and pass down the family tree and those are the people I would sell to. On the website, the knives I most enjoy looking at are the ones which have the well earned patina of good honest use. But, that's just simple minded, sentimental old me.
