This is laughable.

I'm with Ric... Does it come with the bear?

My guess is the seller is hoping Spyderco will buy it for publicity sake. It is a stupid amount of money for a person not involved to pay for a knife IMO and I don't see it happening.

If it was me I'd donate it to Spyderco . If they even wanted it. It seems kind of greasy to me and I'm not going to hope he/they succeed in getting that amount for it.

I wonder what it would be worth if the bear had used the knife on the guy, rather than vice versa…

Wow.

Cool story, but $6k ???! That's insane. Not even the original owner thought it was worth that much. Why would I value it more highly?

Kudos to Yegor. The guy telling the story bought it off Yegor. Perhaps Yegor sold it to him to help pay hospital bill or something cuz he's probably gonna be out of work for a bit. Not gonna draw any conclusions about the story teller who bought it off Yegor and put it up on E-bay. Maybe he's doing it to help out Yegor.

Possibly, but I SERIOUSLY doubt it. The vibe I get is that the seller is only doing it to profit himself.

How much does a Russian Bear skin rug with knife holes go for nowadays? Is that the same bear that Putin wrestled? That might might explain the price. Is shipping to the US included in the $4900?

If I survived a bear attack with a folding knife, it would be with me until the day I died, and they would bury me with it for the next life.

My question is,"Has the story impacted the sales and demand for the Resilience?" Even before the story broke, I had added a PE S35VN Resilience to my purchase list.
