Shirogorov and Dalibor worth?

[CJZ]

These two makers are on my "short" list for 2015.... what can I expect to pay for any of the models from these two? I know direct price for Shiros is great, but I'll never get it. And I'm not sure what Mr Bergam charges direct. What's the secondaries?

From what I've seen, prices are usually $800 and up for a Shiro and about $500 and up for a Dalibor. This all depends on which model you're after. I've seen the Shirogorov "Cannabis" go for upwards of $2,500, and Dalibors upwards of $1,500.

There's probably better prices out there somewhere. I don't seek out these knives since I'm not interested in them, but that's what I usually see them at.

Shirogorovs depend greatly on the model and features. A basic Hati can be had for around $700, but a custom division Hati can be upwards of $3000+.

Mod 95 on washers $800+, with SRBS $1200+, MRBS $1800, not sure about the rollers.

It also depends on the blade as well, vandis is a premium.

Custom Divisons are near impossible to get and people who have them rarely sell. I offered $4500 for a timascus custom and was laughed at. So I bought a mod 95 w/ marbled cf, srbs, s90v. Still looking for a custom division but the one I have in srbs is amazing, action and feel is so unique.

Can't help you on Dalibor, they aren't my thing.

Direct for dalibor is pretty much impossible these days. Your best bet is secondary for these and expect to pay for what you get.

General non integrals - 1300-1600, integrals 2000 and +

Too much haha but seriously... ya like others have said, I'd say about $800-$1200 for a 'normal' Shiro and over $1000 for any Dalibor

That's how much they sell them for but the worth or value is debatable. I would never pay the money people do for those knives. The knife world confuses me sometime.

Have to agree and disagree.

Value is what the user or owner puts on it. Its like any rare, collectible, or in demand thing. If we all wanted to just maximize for use, we would just buy a knife that is the same the world over. Here, its all about it is in the eye of the beholder.

I know what you mean that I now normally edc knives 400$+ and see it as reasonable, and believe me that is insane to a non knife person... but then again, if you are really into watches for example you can spend 10K very very easily and not break a sweat...
