Kershaw Junkyard Dog

[tmayberry50]

Would a 1 of 500 first production run of the first Junkyard Dog folder cost much more than a non-first production run? I saw one today in a local pawn shop, new in the box and they were asking $125.00. Seemed a premium price over what I have seen the regular model sell for online, at $25.00 plus shipping.

Thanks.

was it a custom by chance? i dont see why any of the production ones would ever go for that much

The only way I might pay 125$ for the JYD1 is if it were autographed by Jesus.

It's a nice knife, but you can get them for well under 30$.

I'm pretty sure Jesus is more of a Benchmade guy.

Nope.
I seen him the other day with an Orange Spyderco Dodo clipped to his pocket.

It appears to be a regular factory model except for the 1 of 500 on the blade and Feb 07 on it. There was some other writing but I would need magnification to read it. I know the $125 price is high but it seems pawn shops price things way up there to see if you will bite or dicker over the price.

I think you need to remember that the pawn shop guys make mistakes, too. OTOH, he may be fishing to see if he can reel someone in on that knife. And still, it may just be a mistake.

There isn't anything I could see that would justify that kind of price on that knife.

You're both wrong. Everyone knows Jesus' EDC is a Jim Burke Resurrection.

Ooooh...well played.

Well if you can 'dicker' the price down from 125$ to around 30$, it would be a good buy.

I got a JYD for $25... I couldn't care less if it were from the first production.

First Production adds absolutely zero value to the knife unless you find a collector who collects first production runs. That collector may pay an extra $5 for the 1st prod run.

And switches off with a Dustin Turpin Repentance!

I'm guessing we're talking about the Ti/SG2 version, here. Or at least, that's what the seller thinks he has.

Jesus is into customs? That's so cool!

I don't think the pawn shop guy realizes that there's 500 knives that say "1 of 500".

That's also a possibility. It is common sense. I'm not a fan of how Kershaw marks them.

These answers are correct.

All of the first 500 say 1 of 500.

Thanks for the responses. I am just not familiar with the so-called "first production" stuff. I will stick with the standard model.
