I would say with the file work etc, $200. That is a beautiful knife. Yeah, the other guys are right; I would say $200-$400.

Maybe $300+ . Of course the "big guys" get $450+ for a small one blade, going way up after that.

It looks like junk. so I'll take it off your hands for you for nothing. how's that sound?

Just kidding! I had to try.

Seriously though. That is one beauty of a knife. $2-300 I would say.

I was going to say $200, then I saw the filework on the liners.

Honestly, though, even before I noticed the liners I would say 300-350.

I am not a custom collector, and your name may not hold as much weight as the big guys, but the filework on that knife is amazing.

If it were a little larger and had scales of a more figured wood, I think $400 would be fair.

I'd pay 300-400 for it, and I am not even into custom knives (yet... I have some plans).

In fact, if you could do one of those in bird's eye maple, and perhaps a bit larger, I'd be on board.

Although I haven't bought any custom-made folders, I do occationally check prices. Folders generally sell considerably higher than fixed blades due to the increased labor - more parts, moving parts must fit precisely, and the parts are smaller.

Just a rough guess, $350. Less if it's a brand new unknown maker.

How much would I pay? A dollar. I'm cheap.

Oh, seriously? I'd probably pay about $250. (If I actually had the money and could afford a nice knife like that. )

Thanks for the feed back!
So you think a $1,000.00 is to much to ask?

Just kidding!

I've made knives going on 25 years. And doing so I"ve always tried to sale my
knives for a fair price. And I would like to continue to do so here on the Web.
So what is a fair price? Let me know. :thumbdn: :thumbup:

Thanks! again
