REKAT Hobbit Warrior

Thinking about selling my REKAT Hobbit Warrior. Never been used or sharpened. The only marks are from the kydex sheet which would be included. Just wondering how much I could get for it.

I would hold onto it. Round Eye Knife and Tool were the 1st to create a small version of the "Warrior", there and in itself is a reason to call it a collectible.

Nick, I tend to agree with Brad--- The prices I quoted you were from a couple years ago-- As Data and Brad both pointed out, the prices have jumped significally in the last year-- If memory serves me correctly, REKAT went out of business around 2001-- Spyderco was or has tried to acquire the brand-- Hence the similarities-- Anyhow, as you yourself said, more people are currently looking to buy than are selling--- I, myself, while researching this, visited 9 sites wanting to buy before I found any that had already been sold-- Depending on your personal financial needs, I would hang onto it a while longer and see if the prices continue to climb-- I would monitor it periodically--- There is risk involved however. If you have ever watched Antiques Roadshow, then you will know sometimes collector interest and prices go up, but sometimes the opposite happens. Bottom line, it is your final decision--

Where would I check to see if the price keeps going up? Not really familiar with things like this. Thanks

Nick, just a basic Google search for REKAT Hobbit Warrior-( Or for that manner, just about any search engine)-- You may find a dozen or two listings-- Other knife sites may discuss them for sale or asking to buy, same search might bring on ebay or other sales, or just general info-- Might take a 1/2 hour or an hour out of your day the first time- Checking back at a later date, you will probably remember what you have already read-- Plus, you will usually see a date posted-- Lets you know if it is current, or old news !!-- Really does not take that long after the first time, and you can even bookmark places you want to return to--- I research a lot of knives here and although I have knife reference books, I find most of my info in the exact same way I just described-- The only difference, a lot of times I don't know exactly what I am looking for, in your case you do-- Should only take a short time out of your day---
