The I info have lists the C54 Calypso at $134.95. So yeah, the plain-edge version goes for more than that...most of the time (lately). But SE versions are still only around $100.

The Jess Horn II's listed at 119.95 & the Staemate listed at $156.95.

I was thinking about it again...comparing current market-values to the last MSRP the knife had right before it went out of production. Here's what I think: The old stuff: (2-screw worker, Mariner, Economy Stanard) Any "Q" C67 "R" Any Forum Knives (Blue G10 Native, Military, Blue ...

Unfortunately, a large number of collector numbered knives are bought by knive shops (knife dealers) and are sold outright to the public. There are many "available" collector numbers.

The appearance factor is another issue.

In general, given a highly desirable knife (PE Lum Chinese, for example), will collectors pay a premium for a numbered knife (not 1 or 100) over a non-numbered one in identical condition (NIB)? Tom In general, yes. Its seen as a first production run batch (of 1200 or 1000), so some (not all) may pa...

anybody, anybody :o

And was the first knife to be issued in the Collector's Club to the first collectors?

Anybody know? Thanks DB

My favorite non-spyderco (tactical-type):

Microtech: LCC Lightfoot CF versions. Awesome
Emerson: CQC7 & Commander (full size)
BM: 750BT, 806D2, 710 & 650
SOG: Jet-edge II (J48), I really like how this one.

And of course Remmingtons, Russells, Randells, Ridgids, Case.....etc, etc :)

The EMT is cool & rare!!!!

Paul, what are you going to do with your time when you have them all?

Nope, none of those are the Ti versions. ATS-55 =full production Al handled versions. Common.

440C blade steel=Ti version, very uncommon.

Is it a factory second? Whats the blade steel?

ATS-55 blade steel = full production Al handled versions.

440C blade steel = Ti version.
