Knife comps by model, steel and variant

A collector market where the steel, the sprint run and the generation can each double the price, and where almost everything trades through offers.

The variant is the price

A Chris Reeve in Magnacut and the same model in S45VN are different markets. So are sprint runs, dealer exclusives and discontinued generations. Sellers put all of that in the title, which means a sold price lookup that matches titles can separate them, as long as you search the way they write.

Verified 12 October 2026: Chris Reeve Umnumzaan Magnacut returned 103 completed sales over three years.

Offers dominate this category

Knife listings above about a hundred dollars are negotiated almost as a rule. Any source reading eBay's public sold page reports the asking price on those sales rather than the accepted one, so collection valuations built from it run high. We return what was paid, flagged per row. Across 5,859 matched sales the gap ran to a median of 14.9%. The study.

Filtering

Knife searches pull in clones, cases and sharpening gear. Minus words clear them: Benchmade 940 -clone -replica -sheath -sharpener. Include the steel or the variant when it matters, and otherwise keep the search short, because every word has to appear in the seller's title.

Three years of depth

Discontinuations and sprint runs reprice a model permanently, and you cannot see that happen inside ninety days. Growth and above cover the full 1,095 days.
