Probably a bargain ??? Knife books for $800 in ""mint,unused,new, condition""" __which results in about $400-$500 mint street value__ condition of knife and working condition of components, determines actual value (rust,pitting,blade loss ect.) ???? ::shrug:: just have to see who wants it ????__good luck & welcome to AAPK ::tu::
