Buck 382 Trapper Collectors Edition

[lazerboy2000]

I had recieved this item last christmas from a friend as a gift, and I'm curious to what the value of it is and what may be worth in the future. It came in a nice knife tin and is in new condition, hardly even any fingerprints on it.

I've tried searching online for it, but can't find any information on it.
Thanks.

I think they sold new for around $20.00, give or take a little. Being from the import line, their value probably won't go up noticeably, except to maybe a collector focusing on special editions.

They're kinda nice lookin' knives, and make for good carry. If you lose one, they're easy to replace--check out Smokey Mountain Knife Works, for one. I like to keep a couple around in case I need a quick gift for someone. I usually carry a 373, along with my other EDC's, and when someone asks to borrow my knife, that's the one I give them. If they say, "Nice knife!" I say, "Keep it!" Collector value, probably not. Ambassador material, you bet. Do I give away a lot of knives, naw, only if they're pretty special, or dang cute.
