knife values. hurry! please, need help!?
i recently purchased 2 knives from a man. he made them, his name is Greg Neely and is a master smith in the United States. i am wondering how much one of them is worth. it is a 300 layer damascus steel blade, a hunting knife, handle is made of grenadillo wood from south texas, the blade size is 4 1/2 inches and the overall length is 8 3/4 inches. it has a 416 stainless steel guard and the handle is of a mortised tang construction. the blade is made of SAE 1084 and 15n20 steel. the blade is acid-etched and hand polished. he is also the chairman of the American Blade-smith Society. he only sells 3 or 4 of his knives to his best friends and family. i purchased the knife for $2000, about how much do you thing it is worth?
i am absolutely positive this knife is worth over $2000. this man is rated americas best knife-maker
it also came with a custom made anti-gravity leather sheath
sorry, i am not planning on selling it. i am just curious about it!
It depends on how badly I needed a knife. If I just looking for a knife and I liked the looks of the one you described I suppose I might pay as much as $100.00 maybe a bit more if I really liked it. Now if I was in a situation where I really needed a knife I might be talked into returning your investment to you. The situation would have to be pretty bad.
The best knife I have is an old Ruanna (spelling?). It was given to me. I retired it from the field after someone told me that it was worth at least several hundred dollars. Hope my wife doesn't find out the value. Still I hate to see it collecting dust and am thinking of using it again.

Where can I find a key chain?
I am looking for a place (preferably a website) that sells key chains shaped like a key. I want to be able to engrave on the key "The Door is Always Open". Does anyone know where I can find a key-shaped key chain?
Rachael, I have found one online for you to check out:

I found others too, but they were plastic and very cheap, promotional ones ):
