These are general rules for retaining the maximum value of your handmade, valuable, or antique knives, and are the things we see most often that reduce or increase the value of antique knives.
If I could teach you only three things about caring for knives to retain their value, they would be:
- Don’t Sharpen or Use Them.
- Don’t Store Them in a Leather Sheath / Pouch.
- Keep the Blade Clean & Protected.
