If you can provide more information on the exact knife, we may be able to help, but most of the knives from that program will only bring their retail value or a little less at this time unless it is of unusual design and quality. I would guess that it is a 6254 trapper with lazer engraving??? Let us know.

A knife like this appeals to two audiences. Knife collectors and Race fans. Two a person who is just a knife collector it may not be worth more than the price of the knife at this time. A bone handled CASE trapper is about $75 on average I guess, some more, some less. As a Race fan collectable, I am not sure of its value as I am not up on that. You may know yourself. The appeal is to someone who is both. Now the value maybe some combination of the two. I guess it comes down to what my daddy told me years ago. "unless you got someones who is willing to buy or trade an item, it isn't worth anything" Guess I was clear as mud on that one.
