AUS 8 Made in Seki Japan

How much would be a fair prize for a knife like this one in the USA? Thanks in advance for your help!

How much would be a fair prize for a knife like this one in the USA?

Probably about what it would cost to ship it anywhere.
Smokey Mtn sells most of the Meyerco folders for around $10.
It's not a real hot brand. I doubt First Production means anything.

Edge geometry looks very fine.

I think most (all?) of the new Myerco knives are made in China. The older Japanese-made knives are of obvious higher quality, based on the few that I own and have handled.

As discussed in another topic recently, First Production knives often do not re-sell any higher than normal production.

I would guess the value of that knife to be $20-$40. A complete guess, based on the cost of new Meyerco products, the level of collector interest in that brand, the age of the knife, and the original selling price.

Best Wishes,
-Bob

Very old post, but I actually like this knife. It is a gravity opening liner lock (press button and swing down). Original price was $60. It may be worth more now because they are difficult to find. Handle is not too exciting, but reversible clip, Blackie Collins, Seki steel, and I like owning first run productions. I don’t own other meyerco knifes, but this one is pretty unique.
