Fellas;

A local surplus store has a Camillus/BK&T Combat Bowie (BK-9?) in the display case for $87 and change. It is NIB. Is this a good deal on this knife? I've been kind of wanting a Becker for a while, now, and heard that Camillus is out of business. My preference is to get a Becker companion, but the store doesn't have any.

What does everyone think?

Thanks!

These days, any Becker is more than $87. I have 5 BK9s, so don't really need more, but at that price, even for resale, I might be so inclined.....
Buy and be happy.
 
Thanks, Mtnwind, for the reply. I guess my question should have included, how much was the "going" price before the bankruptcy? I know there's going to be an increasing premium for these knives since there won't be any more from "the good ole days", but how much did the market think they're worth before?

Thanks,

-John
 
Before..... hmmmm, I bought BK9s for about $50-60, BK1s for $75, BK10s for $35, BK2s for $45. This is give or take and may include shipping.
I love the companion, it is a big chunk of steel to hold in your hand. I just wish it had been made in an 8 inch version.
