Howdy!
I just got a decent deal on a 1979 Case Electrician's knife from the bay, but I have decided its not for me. Since I don't like shelf queens, I'm putting it up for trade.
Since I paid $25 for it (caught it at a low price + exorbitant shipping), I'll say that's close to its trade value. It may be worth more, I don't really know.
Here is the link to the auction, with good pictures. I haven't had a chance to take my own just yet, but these seem accurate to me.
The knife seems well built, with little or no gaps that I can see. Blades are in great shape, looks to basically be brand new with some storage discoloration on the bolsters and a couple spots on the blades. Really, though it looks quite nice, IMO.
One note; the blades are pretty stout. Some may consider them nail breakers. If, on a scale from 1-10, a 93mm alox SAK is around a 6, I'd rate this as an 8.
Anyway, I'm looking to trade it for something, I'm open to offers. Below is a short list of some things I "need:"
1) User old cross Pioneer (preferably red, but not looking for new, just a user).
2) New red Pioneer.
3) Black Farmer.
4) Something else?
