Used knife sets in Bath typically sell for £15 to £100 (about $20 to $135). Knives sell well and carry real legal weight: it is an offence to sell a bladed article to anyone under 18, and most carriers restrict or refuse them, so read your carrier’s rules before you promise postage.
Selling a knife set in Bath
Bath is a Georgian city built in honey-coloured stone around Roman baths, and the whole city is a World Heritage Site. It has two universities, a substantial tourism economy and some of the most expensive housing outside the capital.
Two universities clear student housing every June. Georgian housing turns over with genuinely old contents, and the city’s affluence means goods are replaced rather than worn out.
The centre has severe vehicle restrictions and the streets are Georgian and narrow, so arrange anything large for outside it. The city sits in a steep bowl, so ask about steps rather than only the floor.
Bath, in England, has around 95,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. London, Birmingham and Leeds are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Bath
The UK has the deepest second-hand habit of any of our markets — charity shops, car boot sales and online resale have been mainstream here for decades, so buyers arrive already comfortable with used goods and already know roughly what things are worth.

What knife sets are worth
What lifts the price
- Recognised knife makers
- Complete sets with the original block
What pulls it down
- Chipped or badly reground edges
- Stamped budget knives
Working out what yours is worth
- Look at the bolster and spine for forged construction
- Check every edge for chips under light
Getting it ready
- Confirm the set is complete against the block, and note any knife that has been replaced with a different make.
- Wash and dry them fully. Do not sharpen aggressively before selling; a clumsy re-grind takes value off a good knife.

Put in the description
- Maker, model or range, and how many pieces
- Blade lengths, and steel type if marked
Maker and piece count: “Global 5 Piece Knife Set with Block” or “Japanese Damascus Chef Knife Set, 3 Pieces”. Named makers are the search here and carry most of the value; steel type and full tang construction are worth stating when true.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
