KnifeData
KnifeData / Intelligence
For dealers · makers · insurers · marketplaces

Understand the tastes of real collectors.

KnifeData turns years of secondary-market activity into decisions the trade can act on — what actually sold, which configurations collectors reward, and a canonical identity for every knife. Independent, provenance-tracked, and separated cleanly from asking-price noise.

Who it's for

One dataset, four decisions

Each audience reads the same evidence for a different call — priced, produced, underwritten, or listed.

Dealers & consignment

Price to the market, turn faster

Buy and list against what actually sold, by variant and condition — not against the loudest asking price.

  • Sold-price benchmarks per model and configuration
  • Ask-vs-realized spread, so you spot overpriced inventory
  • Liquidity and days-to-sale signals as coverage grows
Makers & brands

Read demand and lifecycle

See which steels, sizes, and configurations collectors reward on the secondary market, and how a release holds value over time.

  • Configuration-level demand and resale premiums
  • Post-release value curves
  • Verified, canonical spec records you control for facts
Insurers & appraisers

Defensible values, not guesses

Every estimate traces to real observations and a resolved identity, with confidence stated — evidence you can put in a file.

  • Observed medians and ranges with sample sizes
  • Identity resolution from messy descriptions
  • Auditable provenance for every data point
Marketplaces & software

Canonical identity & comps by API

Resolve free-text listings to a canonical knife, and surface comps and market values inside your own product.

  • Identity resolution endpoint (text → canonical knife)
  • Market value and recent-sales comps
  • Bulk and real-time access as programs mature
The signal

Where collector money actually goes

A read on the current Class-A set — realized sales by published brand market. The licensed feed extends this across configurations, time, and the full research corpus.

Small by design: published coverage is early and rights-gated. The licensed dataset reaches far deeper.

Depth, not just breadth

The public site shows the rights-cleared slice. Under license, the same discipline runs across the full research corpus — configuration-level demand, resale premiums, ask-vs-realized spreads, and time series — delivered as benchmarks, reports, or an API keyed to your catalog.

Every figure keeps its provenance and confidence, so your team can defend the number as readily as read it.

What you get

Three ways to consume it

Benchmarks

Sold-price benchmarks

Median, range, and confidence per model and configuration, refreshed as evidence lands. Delivered as dashboards or scheduled exports.

Reports

Demand & taste reports

Which configurations collectors reward, how releases hold value, and where the market is moving — quarterly or on demand.

API

Identity & comps API

Resolve free text to a canonical knife and pull market value plus recent-sales comps straight into your product.

Editorial firewall. Licensing and sponsorship never move a value, a ranking, an index, or an authenticity outcome. Clients buy access to the evidence — never a change to it. That independence is the product.
