I have put up a knife for sale or trade, and I have an offer pending.
But before I make the deal I think I should get an idea as to what the knife's value is. To gauge the merrit of the offer.

FS/FT Spyderco Wegner Jr Plain Edge
I have a nice little knife here... A Spyderco Wegner Jr. Plain Edge.
G-10 scales and a liner lock of course.

Its very much like new... It was carried a little, but never used very much. It opened a few letters and 2 or 3 boxes but that is it. There is no box.
Click to expand...

How much would this knife be worth?
And is the offer for a used Cold Steel Recon Tanto a good offer?

I've been out of the knife loop for a while... I was given a super fine knife and I have yet to find a reason to change. Bad excuse I know... but that's my story and I'm sticking to it...

Second question would be is when is Spyderco going to come out with an assisted opening like Kershaw Onions and SOGs? (possibly lame question, but like I said... out of the loop)

Thank you for your time, and please forgive my dull edge in these matters!

Actually, Ken Onion first came to Spyderco to have his models produced (he also is a friend of Sal Glesser), but since autos are a definitely no no in Colorado, they had to pass the offer. Therefore, you won't see any Spyderco autos too soon. :( Too bad, I have a Chive I'm pretty fond of and I'd like to see a Spyderco version of it.
 
I don't really know, but I'm guessing a lightly used Wegner Jr. plain edge would probably fetch between $50 and $100 on Ebay. It might be closer to the higher end of that estimate than the lower end.

The CS fixed blade Recon Tantos usually don't go for much over $50 on Ebay, even when new.
 
The Wegner JR PE is getting very hard to find and even before they became rare they were selling for around 90.00 NIB.I would say that a good price on a NIB one would be 90.00 to 100.00.VG to EX cond.I think would be in the 60.00 to 80.00 range.
 
So a used CS Recce Tanto would be about right then?
(Not even sure if I want that Tanto... just want some variety in my kit)
