Hi,
I have a bear bowie that I do not know the age or approximate value of. I was hoping someone could help me with this. See attached pictures.
Thanks,
Todd

I put it ~ 1970 give or take a few. Nice piece, Todd! The 12-8 is my favorite grind.

Sometimes you can see similar mods on ebay. It can help to get the value

There's not much I can add to Kalervo's reply other than to say I don't think you're looking at a whole lot more than a new one on e-bay. Unfortunately, 40 year old Randalls in great shape just aren't bringing what they used to. Some fighter models are the exception.

Very true Ron..... I know I am very biased towards the older knives, but I can't understand how a near mint field knife in a JRB can sell less for less than a new model with the same furniture.

I am concerned for the collecting aspect of our shared hobby obsession).

My understanding is this section of the forums is reserved for the display of older pieces in collections, not price checks. This should be posted in the general discussion forum. Perhaps it can be moved.

Nevertheless, as Tune mentions, it also ceases to amaze me how folks let nice mid-70's and earlier pieces slip through the cracks while they go crazy for a piece made yesterday. For comparison, I know I would trade all the new Corvettes I could get my hands on for 60's and early 70's Vettes.

Crutch:
You are correct, in the fact that this is "not" the thread for quotations on knife values. I understand that the 2 questions:
1) What is this?
AND
2) What's it worth?

go hand-in-hand. I think the general discussion thread or perhaps the buy, sell & trade thread would be a more appropriate location for "values". Having said that, I'm going to leave this one alone as folks may read it here and realize they need to post elsewhere for values.
I also don't quite agree with BoBlade's dating as this knife could be newer than was mentioned. (Just sayin')
All and all a good topic and let's keep it related to the knife and it's features and age...rather than "What's it worth?"
Thanks, Capt. Chris
