$18k Worth of Sharp Auctions

May 17, 2011

One of the more popular areas of collecting in WWII is edged weapons.  While everyone is used to seeing Japanese swords sell for thousands of dollars I want to shine some light across the board.  So for this blog post I went back into the last week of sales in the category and looked for the top selling blades with one caveat.  I only took one from the Japanese subcat.  Giving those factors I found five listings that reach sold for a minimum of $1000 and on total sold for more than $18 thousand.  In fact the 1944 commando knife was the top selling item in the entire WWII category last week!
