Product description
The Cold Steel Desperado is a discontinued model, and its value varies based on condition and rarity, but examples have sold for approximately $290.00 or more on resale markets like eBay.
Factors affecting the value:
* Discontinued Status: As a discontinued model, the Desperado is no longer in production, which increases its value to collectors who are looking for specific or older pieces.
* Condition: The overall condition of the knife, including the blade, handle, and sheath (if included), will influence its value.
* Rarity: While not explicitly called out as rare, any discontinued Cold Steel model can be considered somewhat rare, especially if it is in good condition.
* Market Demand: Current market demand from collectors and enthusiasts will also play a role in how much someone is willing to pay for the knife.
