There is a NIB War Dog with a tan handle at my local knife shop for $250.00. Is that a little pricey for the discontinued War Dog, or should I buy it? Will it go up in value in the next couple years if I don't use it?
 
There's been some on the exchange for $225. But it's available on SYKCO's website for $179.95 right now.

Is it a HACK Ward Dog or just a War Dog?

And yes, no one knows how much, but the price will appreciate; but then you won't know the power of INFI :D

It's the original war dog... and the listing on Scrapyard's website was a mistake... I tried to order one yesterday, but they refunded my money and told me that they accidently relisted the knife! :(

With shipping the War Dog cost about $195.

I am not a fan of Res-C handles, but this one seems to fit my hand perfectly. I'm glad I got it.
 
Buy a BOSS Jack from Busse Combat direct for $268 + shipping while you still can.

Will be a much more versatile knife and you know youre not getting ripped off...
 
It's too recent and plentiful to have appreciated that much in my opinion. The norm is about a 20% appreciation for Busses soon after they're pulled (or a 25% depreciation in the case of the Sus Scrofa :foot:). If they're more rare than usual (like the NMFBM for example) an immediate appreciation of 30% is reasonable IMO. So even with a 30% appreciation it would be worth no more than $233.94 to me. The BOSS Jack recommendation by TrailWolf is an excellent one and the Basic 4 (same handle and INFI like the War Dog) is coming too. :)

We don't know the cost yet but somewhere in the $200 range seems to be a reasonable guess. We don't know the release date either but there were pics of it from Blade.

Far right knife. Deeper blade with lots of belly. :thumbup:

Well, if you want it I say get it. It is local, or get one off the exchange. There will be no more. To me there is so much difference between the proposed Basic 4 posted above and the War Dog. I got a tan and a black War Dog and am glad I did. The Res-C handle is comfortable, it is thick Infi, and the design is different from my other Yard blades.
 
the war dog is super limited edition. and iv never seen a bussekin knife that went down in price. (ppl usually keep ones they use bc they like them so much i guess haha)

I wish i had gotten a war dog. it just looks sooo good
