[5150]

opinions please! what order should these units be in order according to collectors desirability do you think?

-terzuola starmate pe #'d
-original howard viele pe in vg-10
-shabaria ce #'d solid back w/rivets
- jot singh khalsa se
-original wegner pe

i am curious not just for personal collecting and aquiring reasons, but also to see which ones are really more desirable among us :spyder: fans. correct me if i'm wrong, but for the exception of the khalsa, these models were all available around the same time...
i enjoy the knives in and around this time period...
thanks! :)

:spyder: Isn't the Starmate one of the super duper collectable spydies, like the ti framelock Millie? :spyder:

[ruxton]

like the ti framelock Millie?
I've never heard of that, and yeah the starmate is one of the most collectible spydies out there.

1. Terzuola Starmate pe #'d
2. original Wegner pe
3. original Howard Viele pe in vg-10
4. Shabaria ce #'d solid back w/rivets
5. Jot Singh Khalsa se

In my humble opinion edge configuration plays an important role in desirability and in general PE is more desirable and thus more expensive. Starmates are hot at the moment and Wegners are generally liked as well. Vieles are not liked by everyone but a PE in VG-10 is still a good find and the only one I actually have out of these five. A Shabaria PE could rival a Starmate but I find the CE version less desirable. The same goes for a Jot Sing Khalsa in SE.

Assuming equal condition...

-terzuola starmate pe #'d
-original wegner pe

-original howard viele pe in vg-10

- jot singh khalsa se
-shabaria ce #'d solid back w/rivets

First two are a tossup, but quite far ahead of #3. Last two are also a tossup but miles behind #3

my order

-terzuola starmate pe #'d
-original wegner pe
-original howard viele pe in vg-10
-shabaria ce #'d solid back w/rivets
- jot singh khalsa se

[Halfneck]

1) Terzuola Starmate PE #ed
2) Shabaria CE #ed w/ rivets
3) Original Howard Viele PE in VG-10
4) Original Wegner PE
5) Jot Singh Khalsa SE

Just my opinion. 3 & 4 might be able to swap places, but with Blade-Tech offering a few types of their version of the Wegner I believe this cuts into demand. I also expect the Jot Singh Khalsa to start moving up in desireability. The Shabaria I put 2nd as it is very desireable (look at how most posters here want one) regardless of configuration. Of course the Terzuola Starmate is #1.
