Hi ronclar -

There is a really beat up example on the bay right now and the ask is
$65 as an example.

That's from the first run of Rigid knives. They're worth much to the right people. That knifes in good shape. $150.00 to $200.00 wouldn't be out of line for it and some would pay much more than that.

Here's a Rigid Caribou Skinning knife. Not my picture but I have one just like this.

Some say these initial Rigid knives were made by Buck Employees after hours in a garage of one of the employees but I've never been able to prove that 100%.
