Just got an Izula in s35vn and the blade is marked "first production run". Does it have collector value? Almost dont want to use it. Lol
I would use it and be happy if that is what you bought it for. *IF* there was some small additional value down the road (they did only just come out) it's honestly not going to be significant given the starting value of the blade.
If it were serial #1 id say yes it could have some value if one of us just had to have it. Otherwise use it and abuse it.
