I just found my old Cold Steel Oyabun and was wondering what the market value was on these?
Pg 13 It's in near mint condition, (because nothing is really mint) and somewhere around here I have the box.... It's item number 19B and is made of AUS 8 steel and made in Japan. 
Apologies if price check questions are not allowed. I looked and did not see anything posted stating as such. Thanks in advance.

Not sure what they're worth as that's like the 2nd, 3rd or 4th version of the design. The guard on the original was stainless steel or something steel polished on it.
CS has been releasing copies of the original knives but on the cheap compared to the original ones. I would rather pay more for a brass pommel and guard then a piece of plastic. Either that or bring back the version with stainless steel. |

Either that or bring back the version with stainless steel. The Oyabun was only made for a short period of time, and first came out in 1998. The first versions of the Oyabun were made out of AUS8 steel and were either 7 or 9 inches in length and made in Japan. Later versions were made with Carbon V and then 420 steel and made in Taiwan. I wish I had purchased a Classic Tanto or a Taipan back then, but I honestly could not afford it. |
