i dont care what a ''collector'' wants truth be told somebody wants a 003062 ..wanna know why ? because i have the only one
imho the only way that particular MK11 would fetch $750 is if ya had documented proof that it was mike echanis's personal carry MK11 and its been at the bottom of lake nicaragua for the last 30 yrs and was only recently found, its just too beat up lol. heck it looks like its been at the bottom of lake nicaragua for the last 30 yrs lol.
most collectors want something in a lot better shape than that, and collectors are gonna be who would buy it, if all ya want is a MK11 go buy a new one.
i would say the condition on it would be less than 50%, and thats generous, & its certainly far from being a "one of a kind" or something like that, they sold a heckuva lot of MK11s in '67, or '68 too for that matter.
its gonna be hard imho to get a premium for one in shape like that, if ya can do it good for you, but it wont be easy i bet, unless of course it is mikes EDC MK11 lol.
would you pay $750 for it??man i sure wouldnt, even if it was mikes knife lol. mines in 5X as good a shape as that one and i know i wont get a premium for mine as its been carried &used, of course i'll get more than what i paid for it, which was ~ $47.99 in '71, & i used it for several yrs so ya gotta factor that in also. but i thought mine was beat up & it only has minor scuffs and such, but it does still have the handle, and the sheath, but it looks LNIB compared to that one.
but best of luck to ya, i hope ya get what ya wanna get outta it & i really mean that bud.
if anyone wants to make me an outlandish offer on mine, i'm all ears, em me at
CvetteRcR1@aol.com with all offers, i carried it in the army back in '73 so it has a special place in my heart but hey everything i have is for sale, at the right price anyway.
oh, & nice ax too by the way.
