Sell ​​to us

Do you have an old Leatherman collecting dust? A collection of pocket knives from an inheritance? Or have you simply cleaned out your drawer?

At The Second Standard, we give quality tools a second life. Sell your items directly to us: quickly, honestly, and without the hassle of online marketplaces.

Why sell to us?

  • No hassle: No dozens of messages, strangers at the door or bids that are not fulfilled.
  • Quickly arranged: Fast response and immediate payment after receipt.
  • Selling everything at once: Do you have a whole collection? We often take everything off your hands at once.

What we are looking for

We specialize in primium brands and quality knives .

✅ What we like to purchase:

  • Multitools: Leatherman, Victorinox, SOG, Gerber (all shapes and sizes).
  • Swiss Army Knives: Victorinox & Wenger (all shapes and sizes).
  • Pocket knives (modern & classic): Both modern folding knives (EDC) and the classic 'old fashioned' pocket knives.
  • Hunting & Outdoor Knives: Sturdy fixed blade knives, hunting knives, and bushcraft tools from top brands.
  • Vintage & Rare: Old collector's items, limited editions, or rare models.
  • Complete collections: Large lots, inheritances, or a batch of various knives, from attic finds to serious collections.

❌ What we do not purchase:

  • Individual budget knives: (For example, a single Opinel or a cheap promotional knife). Due to the shipping costs, this isn't cost-effective for either party. Do you have a lot of these in your collection? Then again, it is!
  • Counterfeits / Replicas: We only sell authentic brand products.
  • Weapons: Stilettos, butterfly knives, or other prohibited weapons.

Frequently asked questions about purchasing

Do you also buy broken knives? Yes, but only as part of a larger lot or collection. Due to shipping costs, we unfortunately cannot purchase individual broken tools. If you have a lot that includes some damaged ones, we'd be happy to include them.

I have a very large collection. Do I need to photograph each knife individually? No, not at all. Just lay them all out on a table and take an overview photo. If we want to see specific details of the most expensive pieces, we'll ask for them.

Who pays for shipping? For larger quantities or valuable tools, we usually cover the shipping costs. We'll include this in our offer, or we'll send you a shipping label right away. We always agree on this clearly in advance, so you won't encounter any surprises.
