RAD dagger Horster.few questions
hello i have an opportunity to buy an attached rad dagger made by horster.the condition is weak but the price ia about 230$.
is it a fair proce for such conditioned example?what is the issue of maker rarity?i guess that horster is one of the often to see on market?
best regards
Hi Michal..I would say its very fair and with the right TLC used..it will clean up nicely ...which might come close to market value.
But I say that from the provided photos . It appears there is some surface rust on the blade.
Can you show a pic of the producer logo..although you said it is Horster?
Regards Larry

here's the maker mark.
yes there is an amount of surface rust,but honestly i'm not certain to celan it up because i dont want to ruin the value of this artifact.
thank You for the aswer
You may do as you wish..it was only a suggestion in the current condition it is in.
This RAD knife is not even close to market value in its present state. It also appears to have blade pitting.
I was more concerned over the blade..the rest of it..should be wiped down with a cloth if possible.
No harm done...still a nice find

Nice authentic RAD dagger for a reasonable price. As Larry said maybe you can make it a little bit cleaner but that's of course your choise.

thank You for opinions.i will go after Larry's suggestion and try to clean it up.
best regards
Personally I would not buy it, despite the price, but not for thinking of falsehood, if not because the state I do not like anything, question of tastes ... and budgets, I suppose, but it is a good
Hi Michael,
here is some advise that i learned along the years: pass this one, it will never be more then a starter....
Better invest in one that will be desirable for other collectors when you feel the need for passing it on to the next caretaker.
Its not desirable for the mayority of collectors because its quality is just to low, so when you want to upgrade this one you cant bring it to a dealer...he will not be interested as this one will be hard to sell.
All in all you will be stuck with it and have to save the entire amount for a better one.
Invest in good quality, it will away be easy to sell or trade......
