Somewhere between $25 and eight to ten times that, depending on condition and edge type.

Trust me fellas, there are things I've seen in the course of Spyderco hunting on eBay that I truly wish I could un-see. My answer was colored by the images burned into my brain a few years back of a Chinook I with about 1" of its tip badly "arc welded" from contact with a live wire. :eek: Then there were the photos in the review Phil Elmore wrote of the one he loaned to a handyman who abused it mercilessly. :eek:

It was my not so subtle way of suggesting the information provided was "just a bit" vague. Edge type, condition of knife, and the presence or absence of box if the knife is mint, will all impact the value. Some to a greater extent, some to a lesser one.

Are you looking to buy one from somebody and want to know if the price is reasonable or wanting to know what to ask for one? :confused: Need a little more info as others have said. By the way welcome if nobody has said it. :)
