Investment and Collectors Knives
Value, Appreciation, and Legacy for the Discriminating
There are many reasons that people collect knives. Fine handmade custom knives by a well-known knife maker with an established reputation have a proven track record of appreciation. The value of one-of-a-kind finely crafted works are substantial, compact, and absolute. Some knives are collected for resale, often at several times their purchase price. But mostly, people collect knives because they fall in love with them.

Hello Jay:
Received the Titan and I can only say that
it is another masterpiece. I have no idea how you can blend everything
so perfectly. Thank you for using your
artistic talents to create my limited visions into works of
art.

Testimonial
Jay!
Thanks for making the knife. The workmanship and artistry are
superb as always and I am really starting to like the new
trademark! Buying a knife is not as difficult as it may seem.
You really only have three choices. You could buy a production
knife at your local sporting goods / hardware store which would
work fine until you had to sharpen it; then you would probably
throw it away because, after all, mom was right – you get what
you pay for. You could buy a piece of jewelry that looks like a
knife that is a piece of art made by a master artist; don’t drop
this piece because it could become pieces and lose 50% - 100% of
its value. Or you could buy a tool that is a knife that is also
a piece of art made by a master artist. If you gel your hair,
wear a diamond stud earring, or are otherwise gender confused –
you might want to opt out for choices one and two. But if you
are a man and want a knife that will work 100% of the time,
something you can stake your life on if it becomes necessary;
but still looks beautiful when you are not using it – then you
have only one choice; and that choice is to queue up for a Jay
Fisher!

Testimonial: Eridanus
Jay,
the one thing you still can't get off
of the internet is the way a knife feels. I wish anyone
thinking of buying a Jay Fisher knife could hold Eridanus in
their hands for just a few moments. Then there would be no
doubt that buying a knife from Jay is the right thing to do.
I've bought some other blades of the internet that photographed
well, but when you got hold of them, they didn't feel or handle
like much. Eridanus just feels like it belongs in your hand.
You can get a knife anywhere, but this is a work of art.
Thanks Jay.
Oh and by the way the sheath alone is worth the price.

Testimonial Jay, Well, Jay, now I’ve got a problem. I ordered the knife as a daily user, to carry with me always – my third hand. Now that I have it, I see it should be displayed on a shelf as a work of art! When I saw your picture of the knife, my mouth dropped open. Now that I actually have it in my hands, the reality of it takes me to an even higher level. I am overwhelmed. What extraordinary quality and workmanship. And the balance... I don’t hold on to it, it clings to my hand, resting there as if it always belonged. You really put yourself into it. I’m speechless… but AWESOME (in a very loud voice) comes to mind. You truly are an artist and a knife your canvas. But, I am going to follow through and carry your artwork with me every day. A knife needs a hand to make it whole. It’ll be a good friend. --C.K.
