One of the guys I work with has been following along with my knifemaking and kept telling me about this damascus dagger that he got back in the 80's while working for Snap-On. He finally found it and brought it for me to see today... WOW! What a beauty!

They told him it was a "~$1600 value" knife, but he has no idea and has NO intentions of selling it...

He said since he has had it, I am the only person other than him to handle it, and this is only the 3rd time it has been out of its display case!

In my opinion it isn't nor was it a $1600 knife. I could be wrong and I hope I am but I believe giving him a very over valued price isn't the way to go. Frank
 
I am not gonna tell him any of this because he is happy with everything the way it is... but I got some info from someone else who had one of these. They tracked values over time on their own knife and even brand new, it was never worth more than about $750. Lately, there is no demand for them, thus values are in the $100-300 range, depending on completeness of package and use.

Regardless, it is a far more beautiful knife than the pictures indicate and has given me more than a few ideas of what I want to make in the future.
