James Huckeba (aka Huck) Switchblade

[GA_shooter]

Hello,
I found this 1992 Huck knife in my collection that I would like to sell but have limited information on the value. Any guidance would be appreciated.

What I know to be true:
James Huckeba started making custom knives in Georgia in the 70's. He made fixed blades initially but in the 90's started making switchblades. Huck died in 1996 so it's hard to find information on the internet about him. references show that his knives were some of the nicest made in that time period. Collectors or dealers from the Southeast part of the country they know him and admire his work.

Not to be negative, because Huck made very nice knives indeed, but "ACK" has a tendency to over inflate prices. They've had several of my knives bought at different shows then more than doubled their asking price in resale. Even though I've been told my prices are low, I have never felt the need to ask anything near what they listed. Case in point - they were reselling some of my forged metal scribes (that I sell for $20-$25, because they are so simple to make) for $90 "Fighting Spikes". Really, I've got no issues with them doing whatever once they buy something, but just want folks to be aware that many of their prices are not realistic and would not recommend them as a "pricing model" reference. Of course the market will bear what the market will bear.

Thanks, I appreciate the input. It sounds like you have experience in this market. What would you suggest as a fair price for this item.
