Emerson specwar karambit value?

[jessenyc]

i purchased this knife new in 2004 for $975. any opinions on the current "market value"? it has never been used. many thanks.

is it a semi-custom or custom?? a prototype??

 

[jessenyc]

hi. not sure. the handle seems to be production. the blade is hand ground with "emerson specwar knives" logo. hate to say given the price paid but logic would say semi-custom. has emerson ever made a custom handle for the karambits? thanks.

it looks like a semi custom to me, its also a knife iv not seen many of at all.
I have no idea what it might be worth but it should be worth more than you got it for if its absolutly minty fresh !

How thick are the liners on this knife ?

If I had to guess, pre-pro handground, Specwar no-date?

Hard to say. Not a lot of record on this category, so what the market will bear, which is going to be less than what you paid for it.

Hi, thank you for the price report! i'm the bullnose karambit purchased from knifeart. for the records the date of sale was 12/11/04. the liner is standard.

Haha, I was wondering about that.

I'm not sure how much you'll be able to recoup out of that, unfortunately.

Good luck with it.

FWIW most of the semi customs i have seen run ~$500 or so, but i havent seen many k'bits, most full customs run ~$1K or so,

good luck ,
