I have the complete series bnib just wondering what you guys think its worth I might depart with them shortly
 
I assume you're referring to the Jerry Hossom fixed blades? I don't know what each model is worth but from what I remember I got a decent deal back in 2010, a BNIB Forester for about $125Cdn, and IIRC they were originally MSRP'd at around $200US.

ETA: I have no idea what price they'd fetch. I got the impression they weren't very popular knives for some reason. I haven't seen many YouTube videos on them. Build quality on them is amazing for the price though and I've decided to keep mine (for now) as more of a collector piece and not a user.
 
Original street prices were quite high. IRC around $280 for smalest, which understandable considering, materials, maker, quality of the build and being custom collaboration. Sales didn't go that well and knives were discontinued and deeply discounted. I bought my Forager from a dealer for $72 shipped. Usually I see them on e-bay go somewhere between $150 and $200, but some of then are catching more.
 
That's what I thought BH, regarding the price. I checked a website last night and it said the MSRP on the Forester was only $200 but I could have sworn it was much more than that when I bought mine. The price I got it at was the only reason I bought it because it looked like such a steal! I didn't buy it with the intention of using it, especially after seeing how nice it is, that and the recurve blade. I've got enough fixed blades and the recurve just seems like too much work to keep sharp when my others are so easy to maintain. Again. I find it to be a gorgeous knife.
 
I have all 4 of them and I didn't pay anywhere near MSRP. They are nice knives but I haven't used them.
