Selling my father's collection
on: November 02, 2025, 07:22:06 PM
Hey guys,

I'm new here as I'm not an actual collector.
My father was a fierce SAK collector and he managed to gather over 700 knives over the last 10 years.
I am now trying to sell it and I'm slowly going through everything he had.

There is a link here to an approximative list that I made based on notes he had but It's not really accurate.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tZbT9SRKBN5lJ0jnVBZLKZ2ZlY3dHZ-uApSkCoa_DSY/edit?usp=drive_link

I have general pictures of the whole collection that you can find at this link :

If you're interrested in anything specific feel free to ask and I'll give it a look.

You'll find there the link to my eBay profile for the ongoing sales.

Price wise I don't know much about it so I'm looking for references on the web. If you have a reference of a price under what I'm suggesting, don't hesitate to share it and I'll gladly take it into account.

Just for the record, I live in France so you might wanna take that into account regarding the shipping.

To end this post, I want to thank you guys for the heartwarming welcome into your communities and thank the contributors of SAK Wiki which as been such a usefull tool for me these days.

Have a nice day !
Elorn

Hi Elorn

I m really sorry to hear from your loss. No chance to keep the collection in the familiy?

I m a collector and have my homepage www.elsinox.com
If you really want to sell, I would be interested in all the vinage knives. But specially in the old red Wenger vintage with metal shield inlay, the Minathor Blancpain and the Wenger with the dog on the scale, and the 3-layers 108 mm knives from Victorinox.
I`m based in switzerland, so not far away.

Have a nice evening
Uriel
