Hey Fixed Blade guys

Saw a knife similar to this one:

except that it was a craftsman. The wood on the handle was different (solid wood vs grooved). Other than that, they were the same knife. It was in really good shape but the guy wanted $75 for it. Does that seem high?

Yes. Unless it was very minty with a great sheath, maybe an etch. The handle isn't wood. It is shaped leather washers. The one you showed is a 144 Hunter's Pride. WIth no grooves and a slightly different grind and guard, it is a 138 Bowie Hunter, or H-15 Utility Hunter. If you really did find one in Wonda-wood, it would be worth $75 in good used. Otherwise, closer to 35-45 in good condition. Of course, MIB is worth whatever someone will give for any of these.

I recently sold one on Ebay in very good condition for much less.If it is a Craftsman it is worth even less as the market for them is not as large.Makes guys like me happy as I can build a nice collection.Arnold
