Looking for help with value please.

I have a lefty 2004 S30V Large Regular Chris Reeve Sebenza with graphics.
Very lightly used. Never sharpened, comes with Chris Reeve leather pouch, Blade centered and lock up 50%
No box and papers.

Has gold inlaid with some type of purple stone.

Any website with gallery of 2004 graphic knives?

Thanks in advance guys.

Prices of Large Regulars vary. You see them go in the low $300's all the way up to $500+ depending on the model, blade steel, overall condition, and of course graphic, wether they be CGG or Lisa's Picks. There is no concrete value, but most go in the middle of the prices I mentioned. Being a "left handed" sebenza doesn't necessarily mean its worth more.
 
without a birthcard, i think it would be pretty hard to tell if it was a lisa's pick or someones cgg
 
That's a CGG model called "Trapeze". One cool thing about that graphic is that some of them had the gems set in 14K gold. You might send a pic to CRK and find out for sure if yours has the gold.

Agree with what nyefmaker said about value.
 
Thank you DallasSTB

That's it. I sent picture to Chris Reeve to confirm.

Thanks for your knowledge.

It's an interesting knife for sure. Takeing a closer look I can see the stones in the side aren't all purple as Andre thought, but one purple, one pink, one orange. I think the stones are pink Zircon, Amethyst, and Citrine, but I'm not sure about the Zircon. I'm not 100% sure they aren't colored glass, but under a loupe they look genuine. That makes me glad they're recessed into the ti slab, because Amethyst and Citrine are soft stone. If they were protruding, or even flush, they'de be abraded and chipped to hell by now.

As for the bezels holding the stones, they look like 14k gold, but I can't be sure. I do know it's a pretty thing, here's a few pics to prove it. I took these right away, and have done a few mods to it in the 6 hours I've had it, but that'll be for another thread. :D
