This particular dealer said he is a knife collector,but he obviously didn`t know what he had or he was desperate.How rare are these Deacon? I can`t seem to find much info on this little jewel.

The Baby Horn was produced in black micarta, white micarta, and all stainless. All three of them, plus burgundy micarta and white micarta versions of the full size C34, were made exclusively for A.G. Russell. Am sure none of the five were made in huge numbers. My guess would be 600 each, 1200 each tops, but it's just a guess. Never really got an answer on the number made from either AG or Sal. The white Baby is generally considered the most desirable, or at least it has always fetched the highest prices on eBay, but the SS and black versions of the Baby and the white and burgundy full size C34s all command good prices as well. Can't say any one of them shows up more often than the other two but, like many "rare" Spydercos on eBay, when one shows up and sells at a good price, more generally follow.

Thank you Paul,so I guess these or the one I have would be considered "Rare" perhaps? I amazed that I found one,the odds of running across one would be like winning the powerball lottery.
