I think the way to look at it is whether you would loose money on one...Bruce has a SHSJ which is probably worth a lot more than he paid for it if bought off the Company...the Zilla is likely to be the same...it could well be a knife which moves up in value like the SHSJ's and SHBM's have done...if so...as a collector's piece it would be a good investment...but there are not many who will buy them to use them...although I fully intend to do so....I would rather sell other knives and have one than miss out on this knife....
