I think you can send back the knife to CRK shop, they can repair it very well.

yes I know but I would like to know the exact spec of the knife and it's value before take a decision . thanks
 
Not sure about the wood, cocobolo? The blade steel is S30V, made circa 2008~2009, worth less than $200 IMO.
 
In its current shape, it wouldn't be too much value wise. The ball park figure of +-$200 doesn't seem to far off. Is this a large or small? It looks to be a early 21 with the smooth lock side hardware and since it doesn't have the stamp. I concur with the post above. It certainly needs to take a trip to CRK and get made new again. They will also reissue birthcard/box/etc for you. That would be the route I'd take.
 
I believe it's a fake, unfortunately. Compare the logo on the knife to the actual CRK logo, and you'll see that the part of the "R" that connects to the "C" is straight, where on the actual logo, it's curved.
 
1st take out the ? on price unless you want the thread to be closed-they only allow gold and up to ask price ?'s
you may also be able to narrow the date slightly by when the scales were made. They will be stamped A08(1st quarter of 2008) or something like that. This is only the birthdate of the scale not the knife, but it may help narrow the date slightly.
