Heard of "Bowie Knife"? I know nothing about it... probably rare,. Just being rare does not mean it worth much, but obviously there are many people collecting those and they competed with each other. Many those small knives sold $30K, $40K, $50K, $90K etc today. If not seeing those sale myself, I had thought those knives just being rare junk... you never know.

Perfect example of trying to analyze something logically without any knowledge of what you are talking about.

Bowie Knives are highly collectible, there were and are many makers, some are quite rare and there are many styles. Condition impacts pricing- just as it does with lugers and brooms. Books have been written about collectible, historic "bowie" knives- not the 10 for $26 that Paul mentioned.

Apples and oranges.
