Anyone have a going rate for this discontinued piece? Haven't seen any on eBay recently. I should have never traded mine.

Going price for the FB04 Perrin Street Bowie?
- Thread starter symphonyincminor
- Start date
The last one I seen on Ebay went for $110. I just sold one to a BF Forum Brother for $100 even. If you want one I wouldn't dilly dally 
If you want one to use I wouldn't get the black blade. I would only use the black blade to collect.
Being the new Perrin is about to hit the market the old one will surely go up significantly.
I am curious? What draws you to the older Perrin?

Thanks for the insight into the price; glad it hasn't gone up significantly!
I like(d) the older model a lot because of the blade profile, deep choil, and general ergonomics & weight. It made for a perfect utility knife for camping, hiking, yard work, and was easily concealable (if need be). Plus I'm a sucker for bowie style/modified clip-point knives.
I'm really surprised that it didn't sell very well, considering the street price of about $85 that it was selling for. That's not to say that I don't have the newer Street Beat on order.

I think that enthusiasts, collectors and users alike are just now seeing the light as far as the Spyderco fixed blade models are concerned. Personally I never got a fixed blade Temperance until they announced them to be discontinued
What an extremely pleasant surprise that was. Also the fixed blade LUM was one that they passed by. If they would do another run of them in either VG-10 blade steel or at least something better than AUS-8 I would be all over one to carry. I may even do it anyway.
The Ronin is another jewell that most Spyder-heads are now finding out is an awesome blade. It is truly taking the knife community a lot of time to recognize the super potential that Spyderco fixed blades have. Stock up on them while you can. In another year or so the FB-04 Perrin will be the object of bid wars on Ebay and elswhere.
