Value of old Model 20 Yukon Skinner?

[DoctaD]

I have an old well used Yukon Skinner that was my dad's from back in the '70s. His name is engraved on the right side of the blade, and there is a small chip at the distal belly.
Any ideas what this would be worth?
(It has a great deal of sentimental worth to me). But if I were to sell it or insure it, what value should I place on it?
Thanks.

Priceless. Use it and remember your Dad.

Amen to the Priceless! I have many fond memories of him and the knife.
I was just curious about the objective value.

It's a mid 60's to early 70's standard model. Objectively speaking, from a guy that has bought several hundred Randall knives, I probably wouldn't pay more than $350. Hope that helps.

Docta,

This is my Dad's 3-6 from just post WWII. I have other Randalls worth a lot more on the open market, but I'd starve before I sold it:

My advice is to not even try to assign a monetary value to it in your mind as indeed it is priceless (to you). Just enjoy the you-know-what out of it and pass it down to future generations so thay can appreciate and and enjoy it as well. We never really own a knife like a Randall. We're just caretakers for a while.

Best,
