Is it the overall belief (of the bidders) that the knife is of great worth...artifically 'forced' the high price.....which is then used as a 'yard-stick' for buyers of similar knives... who bid/buy at these new 'inflated' prices....which create the belief that these type of knives are of great worth...which artifically 'force'.........

IF THIS IS THE CASE.....THEN SOONER OR LATER THE MARKET VALUE WOULD CRASH......and some collectors would end up with items worth considerably less than they paid.......
