That is called the Silver Feather model number MK520. Originally sold for about 60 dollars, many years ago. Today I’ve seen these for anywhere from 75 to 200. People asking for 200 doesn’t mean they are actually selling for that. Arizona Customs has one they are starting out asking 325 for but I seriously doubt anyone will pay that for it. One just like it on eBay for 100 dollars. Hope this helps.
It’s not on eBay anymore, if it’s the same one. It will be in Connecticut in a few days. I’ve been busy chasing all metal knives lately. The bulk of which are from Japan or China so when the seller of this Moki agreed to a discount I couldn’t resist. The only other Moki I’ve owned is the small Lakota Teal which I didn’t even know was a Moki. The two photos are the MK520 which was originally imported by Spyderco in 1994 and the Lakota Teal.

Congrats Fingers, both are nice knives. I do have to warn you that Moki’s are addictive. Moki’s are what turned me into a collector and not just an accumulator of knives. Couldn’t believe the quality for the price, compared to custom knives that these compare to for a fraction of the cost. Enjoy.

I was afraid of that Mark. As I went through the pages of the Moki thread I thought to myself just when I thought I was out “they dragged me back in.”

It’s not every day that a knife exceeds expectations, but this Silver Feather by Moki does. I like when my metal knives get scratched up. That’s character. Not this baby, I’ve got it nestled in fleece. Man is it sharp & shiny. A real gentleman’s knife.

I think I’ll look for the serrated version next.

Glad you like it Fingers. You can’t go wrong with a Moki. I didn’t realize those knives were over 30 years old, interesting.

That didn’t take long. Dr. Shank-n-Stein here on AAPK had a used MK520S in good used condition so now I’m officially in deep. The serrated version looks like it will be the user and the plain one is the pretty one

No problem. I used that screen name because I use to talk about knives being sharp and shiny to my wife.
That serrated version looks nice. I could see using that one a lot. Glad you like your Moki’s.

After I received the plain edge Moki Silver Feather the other day I was hooked. So, like any normal knifenut I couldn’t resist the serrated version. It was listed as used by Dr. Shank-N-Stein here on AAPK. I thought I might have to send it off for a spa treatment. Other than scratches it is typical Moki quality and the serrated blade is as sharp as the day it left the factory. My new #1

I’ll try and resist posting anymore photos of the 2 Moki knives I’ve recently acquired. I enjoy photographing them as much as carrying and using them.

A Moki looks good almost anywhere you photograph them. Here is one my Moki barbwire jigged bone Kronos models with some of our fresh picked strawberries last spring.
