Hi Dave, the "Welcome to the world of Spyderco" fold-out catalog, which is about ten years old, shows the C22 Klotzi made Walker with an MSRP of $300. That same catalog shows the C27 Jess Horn at $350, the Set of Evolution Edition Workers at $495, and the Ramco Laguiole at $120. Impressive or not, the Walker encompasses a bunch of "firsts" and a couple of "onlys" for a Spyderco, and was produced in limited quantity, so the collector demand, and thus the price, is fairly high and likely to remain so.DaveH said:
the same guy is selling lots of rare old spyderco, all numbered with the same collector number that he doesn't want to give.
weird... it's amost like he doesn't want to be recognized...
Is there a contract on the head of each collector that want to quit the program?

Nah! They just treat you as an outcast or rather a junkie that keeps coming around for more...in this case, knives! <I was #29 for a short amount of time> However, I now live in daily fear that I will not get enough Spydercos to sooth the burning sensation in my right hand...just gotta have one there! 
BTW, I scored a trade for a Swiss Walker, left over Spyderco parts, a couple of days ago. I already have the Spyderco CF Walker PE in the collection. So I can't wait to get this other one in the mail...its sorta customized with no clip by the company that collaborated with Spyderco to make the original. I hope to post some pics of it when it arrives! I also snagged the Blue G10 Native #ed from the guy who is selling all these Spydercos on ebay. I just hope that works out...another forumie beat me here to a BF Native for $165 + 3% for Paypal a day or two ago. So I guess I got the better deal on this one because is a collector piece and not the normal BF Native and I undercut the price by only having to pay $156.80 for the ebay one!
