Need advice

[crfloyd]

Am considering purchasing a Knife made by John Nelson Cooper (hunting knife). Am also considering a similar Ralph Bone of E. De Leon knife.
Generally speaking would you expect to pay about the same for these 3 Makers?

I would think most any Cooper blade would likely be priced somewhat higher than a similar Bone or De Leon model. But I'd attribute this more to name recognition, and style, rather than to any perceived difference in quality.
