Title: Value Of 108 Hunter?
Post by: toolguy on October 15, 2018, 01:46:03 AM: I haven't had any experience with this knife so I would like some help from members.

What would be a legitimate price for a NEW 108 Hunter with imitation stag scales?

Post by: K9medic on October 15, 2018, 04:06:06 PM: I suppose its value is what your happy to pay for it. Of the top of my head i paid about £100 for mine, that was a month a go.
Title: Re: Value Of 108 Hunter?
Post by: glenfiddich1983 on October 15, 2018, 04:27:19 PM: I think around $ 100 would be fair.

I have seen a couple of them for sale at $ 135 or best offer (so I suppose they will sell/are sold around 100-110). I have one on the way for which I paid € 75 including shipping ($ 87).

Not really. I know it´s blasphemy but I prefer the Solingen handmade Hunters with bolsters and stag scales. The Vx would be for completeness. :whistle:

Post by: toolguy on October 15, 2018, 08:29:39 PM: I made an offer,before I realized it was imitation stag,which is not my thing.

I certainly would prefer authentic Sambar Stag.

Thanks for the help everyone,I do appreciate it.

Authentic stag on the 108mm Hunter is extremely expensive I guess, since they are very rare. If I remember correctly from the SAKwiki page only 500 were made with authentic stag?

The best way to tell the real deal is the pinned scales.

Years ago I bought a brand new 108 Hunter with "Staglon" scales, and couldn't stand the look of them. I had custom scales made.

Hi, If you can't live with the faux stag scales, I would be glad to take it off your hands if the price was right.

BTW, here is a pic of the real Mc Coy, which I don't have. Just eye candy :)
