Wow, very nice knife.
Maybe put it on Ebay, I think it will get there a good price. Last .0,4 MOAB I saw there quite a while ago was well used and went for a little more than 2k.
I would agree with these$2K+ from what I’ve seen. What did these retail at originally?
I've got a MOAB I'm thinking of letting go of. It's the .401 version. What is the current value?View attachment 1956802
David spelled it out right here with this description, which should be reflected in his price quote on the higher end...Beautiful Piece!!That one is pretty rare, satin finish with smooth snakeskin.

The MOAB isn't a standard production piece. Jerry was taking order as of a couple months ago but that could have changed. To my knowledge many are on order but only one has made it out of the shop to date. Believe it or not it's design purpose was to be a joke...I'm not joking. His hope was that once he released something that big in 3/8" all of us fatty lovers would shut the hell up...yeah right, like that ever had a chance of working
There is no balance. It's very forward heavy just like you can imagine from looking pictures.
These were the prices in '03, I'm sure they have went up since then...
$1600.00 - Any Coated Finish
$1800.00 - Double Cut Finish
$2000.00 - Satin Finish
Agreed. This is technically one of the few “holy grail” model Busses, and I don’t use that term loosely after almost 20 years into beating/collecting these knives.Looks like quite alot. $2500 seems pretty cheap considering rarity, the original price, and 20 years of inflation.
WOW ok! Thanks for the insight.Nice knife if your Arnold Schwarzenegger,
Also most knives are not selling these days compared to a few years ago.
