I have been collecting Schrade-Waldens for some time, and want to grab up one of each of the vintage Buck hunters. The problem is, the large auction site has prices ranging all over the place. The newer schrades are made overseas...which explains the variance in prices for older models over new ones. I know the vintage Bucks also command higher prices, tho I am not sure why.
Can someone offer me a basic primer course on what I need to look for in getting a 102, 105 and 119? I want them for investment purposes, but also for use if I want to. I don't want NIB or un-used, but I do want to purchase examples that will retain/increase in value over the next 10 years.
I have seen what looks to be the same 119 priced between $50 and $200, both used and apparently the same knife...
a little help understanding what I should look for?
thanks
