Case Classic 1993 Really Worth $500?

[herbva]

I really like sowbelly knives, but I'm just curious. Is a Case classic made in 1993, (by, I believe Bluegrass), really worth $500?

Made by Queen.
Simple answer.....absolutely not.

Gilbert Cooper seems to think so (he's the seller), but so far nobody else does. I thought all the Case Classics were made by Queen.

Gilbert Copper is the guy that bought Schatt & Morgan

Case may have made a few of them.

Queen made all except the 88 congress, 54 trapper, saddlehorn and gunboat. Case made those four patterns only.

Not Case relayed, but I was at a flea market where a guy wanted $250 for a Leatherman Supertool made in Japan because he thought it was rare not made in the USA. ftd

Ferg, he was right, at least on the part about the PST’s made in Japan being rare. Here’s a thread about it viewtopic.php?f=2&t=58485#p669203

According to info in that thread about 350,000 out of over 10 million PSTs made were made in Japan. I wouldn’t call 350,000 rare but relative to 10 million total made, I guess it is. I don’t know if it’s $250 rare or not, but I hope so cuz the PST I have was made in Japan!

BTW if you scroll down far enough in that old thread you’ll find one of your posts there!

It isn't worth $500 to me. No knife is.

Was the Case Classic XXX Saddle horn made by Case?
I've got one and the tested XX version.

If someone is willing to pay $500 for it, then it's worth that to them. That doesn't mean that all knives of that particular make and model are worth that amount, only that one, to that buyer, at that time.

It's easy to say that a particular knife is "worth" a particular price because one sold on an auction site for that price but that's not necessarily so (although it can be). It's usually a bit more complicated than that.

IIRC there’s a post here somewhere saying the Case Classic XXX Saddlehorn was made at the Case factory. Makes sense to me - if they made the other Case Classic saddlehorn patterns there, why would they make the few XXX stamped versions elsewhere?
