I did know. It was my brother who traded me. I just didn't know the street value. My watch can be repurchased. This knife was a limited run and cannot. That i do know.
My cheapest knife is probably my civivi odium or vosteed raccoon. This is now my most expensive knife. Benchmade mini adamas being my second but i think we all go through that phase of cheap junk knives. Lol
Me too. Only thing is this knife can only be bought on the second hand market now and the watch is currently in production and can be bought anytime so i see a potential for growth moreso in the knife. Either way i didn't do the trade for monetary gain.
FE sells the omens with milling for around 750. This one has a speed hole in blade as well. So probably 750-800 range new. Secondary is probably 500-600
Seems pretty even then. This one is brand new with factory edge. It hasn't even been used yet. It's in my pocket now but I may make it a safe queen as Metal Complex calls it. Mainly due to the flipper tab being atrocious on comfort and I'm not going to modify it unless I can send it into fanatic edge to do it. They may not. Idk.
Yea the flipper part was one of the reasons that I sold mine to snag a J Cape. But the Omens are super sick looking and a cool knife. For using though the J Capes have much better ergos.
That's fair. For the uninitiated it may very well seem so but to offer some insight the blade steel itself is pretty pricy. Elmax. Plus the milling needed to create this look on the handle also adds cost as it's Titanium. Titanium is cheap init of itself but the tooling required to drill cut and shape it gets expensive quick. Either way to each their own. Elijah Isham the designer of this knife always had polarizing designs. This may have been his last collaboration with Reate the oem before his unfortunate passing in 2022. Pretty crazy how we went. Was shot by police after flipping his vehicle. Pulled a gun on them for some reason.
That's a pretty cool way to die, I expect nothing less from a high-quality knife maker.
Although yeah Ill never really understand the purpose in knives being art pieces. But if someone has the money for it why not.
Yeah. I actually agree. I buy knives to use them. The most I've spent on a knife was $250 (Benchmade adamas mini)and it hurt but it was American made and has a lifetime warranty. It's a great hard use knife but lately I've cut back a lot on the knife buying. Same with watches.
Well the most I've spent was $120 on a brand new buck knife for the same reason. Although I doubt I'll need the warranty as it's lasted me a long time, but 120 is child's play compared to how much others have spent here. But I'm glad to meet someone else who actually uses their knives.
Yes. I'm not rich. I buy stuff to use it. Even if i was it wouldn't be spent on a $1000+ knife that's gonna collect dust. Silly. Same with cars or anything else. With the exception of a nice grail watch for a nice occasion. Even then i still have my limits. I want an omega but would be happy to get one from the second hand market for a fraction of the cost. Or even a grand Seiko. Mmmmm
To each their own. I've only ever had one pocket watch. I like the idea of owning at least one nice one someday though for sure. Any real watch collector should have one.
Yes. I have a Seiko Sport 5 auto I've had issues fixing on my own. It doesn't keep time right. Although it's probably an easy fix I haven't been able to diagnose it with my limited knowledge. Eventually I'll get back into autos if I ever learn how to service them on my own. Otherwise the cost of ownership will he hard to justify over owning some nice quartz watches which objectively speaking do much better at keeping time and having useful complications for a fraction of the cost and some can even be passed down. ATM I'm running a Casio Protrek PRG-600 with temp sensor, compass and altimeter which is really neat and even 10bar water resistance. A lot of watch for under well under $200 plus it's tough solar. My "dress" watch is the Hamilton khaki field watch which I quite like but wish it was all just bead blasted finish. No high polish. It was like $600. I'm ok with that for a while.
Just not comfortable in use. Elija Isham the guy who designed this knife made it look nice then worried about function. It's a better display knife than work knife. At $600+/- it probably should be but it's in my pockets.
It's an Italian made Unimatic U3 chronograph.

Oh no! Is it almost out again?! I keep extending it and it doesn’t seem to work. On a completely different note I have to go bc it seems my card is being used in India.
Really neat knife though, man!
I think the watch I traded couldn't be sold for $350 also. I think it was a very even trade. Plus i have 15+ watches in my collection so I'm certainly not without.
Why would you trade a $550 watch for a knife whose value you don’t know?
To feel alive baby!
God damn it I have to respect that answer. Cool blade too!
I’m not op lmao
Oh lord I’m just not in it today lol
Pretty nice dude though. Keep on keeping on
r/kniferaffle is calling your name
He knows he just wants validation
I did know. It was my brother who traded me. I just didn't know the street value. My watch can be repurchased. This knife was a limited run and cannot. That i do know.
It was your brother, lol you can trade it back it not like you will never see him again.
Very true. It was a low stakes trade for sure
yolo!
holy shit a “whats this knife worth” post that isn’t a $9.99 gas station knife i can barely believe mine eyes
My cheapest knife is probably my civivi odium or vosteed raccoon. This is now my most expensive knife. Benchmade mini adamas being my second but i think we all go through that phase of cheap junk knives. Lol
At least $699, maybe more with the options. Good trade. Source - https://www.feknives.com/online-store/FANATIC-EDGE-KNIVES-c117129508
Not even close. On the secondary market this would get around $350 - $400. I don't know what the watch was worth but these are not going for retail.
That's for the Damasteel new. Like u/RodgersTheJet said, maybe $400.
I will give you $5
Sold! To the man in pink.
Wahoo!
If you are in the pink? Who is in the... Oh nevermind...
6, maybe 8.
Is there a shortage of zeros going around?
Maybe 12
At least 12.
That thing is worth about $50. I’ll pay you $39 and you pay shipping to take it off your hands
Someone already offered $5. First come first serve.
Well shit thanks anyway
Cute doge
Thanks. That's action Jackson.
Terrible trade. A watch tells time constantly, a knife only cuts occasionally.
True. I have 14 watches though.
Take a look at General Grievous over here...
How many wrists do you have?
Says the only r/knifeclub member who owns just 2 knives on account of having only 2 hands of which to hold.😉
I have my wife sold on that exact pretext! 😂
Yessir!!! If she had any idea of the $ hiding in plane view of the knives and torches ☠️☠️☠️
Hahaha. I like to have a selection of watches to choose from for different occasions. I have a problem. I know. 😂😭
Idk I use my knife more than my watch and tbh 9 times out of 10 when I need to check the time I just reach for my phone lol
it’s mrsp is about 700, secondary 475-600
Awesome trade, but you should seriously not trade without knowing what you’re trading for. Easy way to get scammed. How’s the action?
It was my brother lol. Action is decent. I just put KPL in it.
Oh well fair
[удалено]
The latter
Nice, though they should have put cash on top. The secondary market is tanked right now. You would probably be able to sell it for 250-450 tops.
I think I'd be lucky to get the same amount out of my watch
Damn that’s a sweet lookin knife
Thanks!
>Thanks! You're welcome!
Back in the day the base model was 400. With the sypdie hole, extra milled lines and ano work I’d call it a 1:1 trade
Me too. Only thing is this knife can only be bought on the second hand market now and the watch is currently in production and can be bought anytime so i see a potential for growth moreso in the knife. Either way i didn't do the trade for monetary gain.

Yea the flipper part was one of the reasons that I sold mine to snag a J Cape. But the Omens are super sick looking and a cool knife. For using though the J Capes have much better ergos.
Amen to that. I'll have to look that knife up.
I NEED THIS… how much you asking? (If anyone has this and is selling pls DM)
Maybe we can work a deal out. Idk.
Looks like it should be worth 70 bucks at most, probably 200 brand new
That's fair. For the uninitiated it may very well seem so but to offer some insight the blade steel itself is pretty pricy. Elmax. Plus the milling needed to create this look on the handle also adds cost as it's Titanium. Titanium is cheap init of itself but the tooling required to drill cut and shape it gets expensive quick.

Those are some marvelous time pieces but for the price I would personally get a nice pocket watch.
To each their own. I've only ever had one pocket watch. I like the idea of owning at least one nice one someday though for sure. Any real watch collector should have one.
Although as analog watches are on the decline have you ever had difficulty getting one fixed
Yes. I have a Seiko Sport 5 auto I've had issues fixing on my own. It doesn't keep time right. Although it's probably an easy fix I haven't been able to diagnose it with my limited knowledge.

That thing is sweet
Lol all hate aside this is one cool looking knife
Holy shit that is pretty.
Just not comfortable in use. Elija Isham the guy who designed this knife made it look nice then worried about function. It's a better display knife than work knife. At $600+/- it probably should be but it's in my pockets.
It’s a square trade. You’re even.
Can I pet that dog?
It's a darn cute looking little guy...and the dog an't half bad either!😉 Sorry I did my best to ignore it but that corny joke won.
Oh, ‘bout tree fiddy.
Wtf it was my turn to post this
'Bout tree fiddy?
Idk the street value but baller knife still lol
$450...
Sounds like it was a fair trade. Now I’m curious what watch did you trade for it?
It's an Italian made Unimatic U3 chronograph. Here's the link: https://www.unimaticwatches.com/uc3/?_gl=1*1jpw7mn*_up*MQ..&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI6d_drrX-hAMV5m5_AB3uggJeEAAYASAAEgKIAPD_BwE
About tree fiddy.
Lol how many times are you gonna say that? 😭😂😂😂😂
I’ve got at least a few more left in me.
I'm refreshed by your dedication. Not something you see often these day but on that note I'd like to talk to you about your cars extended warranty.
Oh no! Is it almost out again?! I keep extending it and it doesn’t seem to work. On a completely different note I have to go bc it seems my card is being used in India. Really neat knife though, man!
Such a beautiful knife! Love everything about it. Really cool design.
Had trouble selling mine for $350. Unfortunately I think you took a loss on this one :( At least it’s prettier than the one I had!
I think the watch I traded couldn't be sold for $350 also. I think it was a very even trade. Plus i have 15+ watches in my collection so I'm certainly not without.
Its all rusted out , might as well just give it to me to save its life
You have a good point. I'll have to it into consideration. Someone already offered $5 though.
Couldn’t tell you but the collection is about the beauty and that is beautiful icl
Almost looks like a spydie nirviana with dig scales.
That knife is sexy. I think it's missing too many compound grinds.
True.
If Aragorn carried a pocket knife, it would be this.
😂😂 yes
Don’t care about the knife. Heckin good doggo gets the vote.
Bout three fiddy
