It's a Carbon V, was beat up but the blade was still in good shape, the sheath was gone and the handle was fucked. I had the handle removed and am having the knife refinished(in a pattern to match a pistol i'm also getting refinished), and also having handles custom made for it by a local knifemaker. Was considering having a matching sheath/holster set made to go with the custom finishing jobs as well, but haven't decided.
ANYWAY! My question is, from the knife community:
Did i get ripped off paying 40$ for this knife? the finishing will probably be another 40-50$ and the handle will be 40$. I've been looking and these knives in NIB condition are around 110-130$, so...
P.S. This knife/gun set is an engagement present to my fiance, who thus far has a love of knives and guns but has never had the funds to have her own(Even though her father has a HUGE collection that he always shoots, he won't let her play with his toys).
