Collecting vs. Using
I am in middle of paying for a Thorpe and 5-5 Bradford Angier made in mid-60s, and so am tapped out.
I also suspect with market rather flat at moment, you will have trouble getting $900 or less at moment.
The suspicion is collectors bid things up to a bit of bubble bust for time being, but a knife made back when Bo was still running things will never stay down long, especially if Gary drops out of picture and more changes happen at shop.
Personally think the Vietnam-era thing is overblown hype unless it went there and can be proved, but nothing can take away from a knife made when Bo ran things, or even was still in and out of shop keeping his hand in at times.
It is one to hold onto for now, i think you will be glad you did, you or your heirs.
