My apologies to the board

[The Double D]

Apparently even though there is no rule agains't it there has been a long standing tradition on this board that pricing will not be discussed in any way shape or form.

I have violated that unwritten rule and have been chastized publicly and privately for my actions.

I sought no appraisals for the knives I posted questions about. I have no interest in them. I was merely trying learn not only what they where but what it might cost me if I were to take up collecting these type knives. This experience has thrown cold water on my ardor.

For those of you who were kind enough to respond to my inquiries thank you very much for helpfulness.

I will retire from this board and again apologize for the disruption
