I'm no authority, but since no one else has chimed in...
My only frame of reference was when a reputable seller was unloading some standard Case patterns "at cost" for a little while (ostensibly to guage demand for steep discounts) and I bought an amber bone CV 6375 for about $36 from him. These generally go for about $40 retail from the better internet dealers, so I took from this experience that markup is only about 10% - 12%.
My two cents, although it's probably not even worth that

HI!
When I worked in the retail business years ago, CASE knives were marked up 100%. If you wholesaled for $25 it retailed for $50. I believe that in the bigger stores, this is still the case.

I don't know if this helps but I just bought a MOP Canoe without shield and one of only 50 that were made by Case,on eBay from Shepherd Hills Cutlery for a total of $85.00 including shipping. That same pattern knife
is still for sale at Shepherd Hills for $159.99.

Looking at old manufacturer paperwork from American companies, I see the wholesale price approx. one half of MSRP.
