I have some in mind, just wondering what OP thought. Not necessarily the new price but what they go for now regardless of age.
 
I always thought the Emperor Collection was the most expensive but have seen the Imperial Tanto for more and the Imperial Tai Pan for even more that that. Kinda crazy the one knife can be worth more than three.
 
I'm always kinda surprised at the price of the Gurka Kukri VG-1 San Mai III 35ATCJ
 
There’s a vintage emperor tanto set selling at some auction site for $4500. I guess that’s hard to beat.
Gurka Kukri in San Mai is going $600ish.
For folder, if you can find one, Hatamoto might be the most expensive. Espada XL in s35vn is probably the most expensive CS folder in production.


I’ll stick with my cheapo AD10 that i got for $115+ or Golden eye elite for $65...
 
Rough estimates:

Complete Emperor Set ~$4,500
Imperial Tanto ~$2,000
Arc Angel ~$900-$1,200
Blue Titanium Ti-Lite ~$500
Black Bear Classic ~$400
Original Outdoorsman ~$400
Original Tanto ~$450-$500
Gurkha Kukri San Mai ~$550
Stag Trail Master ~$600-$700
10th Anny Tanto ~$550

Wow, I'm not sure whether to rejoice or to lament over those prices! For good or ill, however, I believe that this subforum has had a significant impact on the aftermarket demand for Cold Steel's knives. I think that many who previously ignored or dismissed Cold Steel have been enlightened by some of the conversations held here. The subforum has also become an amazingly in-depth resource for those researching the brand.

Those "Rough Estimates" are indeed rough but do illustrate the desirability of the items. I renewed my interest in CS Knives due to jlauffer's excellent histories on this forum. I just picked up arguably the best looking CS Knife ever made, an Imperial Tai Pan that I first saw on here.
