Sell Your Knives

Why Sell to NWKC?

  • Over 40 Years of Knife Expertise – Owner Bill Claussen’s knowledge comes from decades of buying and selling knives—plus his work co-authoring the book Sheffield Exhibition Knives, considered by many custom makers as a key reference.

  • A Trusted Track Record – For over 30 years, we’ve maintained a loyal customer base through our monthly mail-order knife catalog and our top-rated eBay store ("nwknives").

  • Real Collectors, Real Service – We care about your knives and your experience. Our long-term reputation is built on fair treatment, fast communication, and accurate appraisals.

  • We Maintain Inventory, Not Just Listings – We aren’t desperate for inventory. We keep a large, working stock of knives—which lets us offer you fair prices or top-tier consignment service.

Do you buy entire collections or just individual knives?

Both! We’re happy to buy single knives, entire collections, or help sell estate collections on consignment.

I don’t live in Oregon—can I still sell my knives to you?

Absolutely. We work with sellers across the country. If you’re shipping your knives, we’ll guide you through the safest way to do it.

How do I start the process?

Simple. Just call or, email. Tell us a bit about your knives (and photos are always helpful). We’ll let you know the next steps right away.

What if I don’t know the value of my knives?

That’s where we come in. With decades of experience, we’ll help assess the market value and talk you through your options for sale or consignment.
