Purchased it in 1989. It is in mint condition with original leather clip sheath. Been sitting in my gun safe for 12 years. Is there any collector interest in these knives?

Based on what I've seen that era and earlier Cold Steel stuff go for on Ebay and other auction boards: no.

Is it the Urban Skinner or Urban Pal?

The skinner was used in Platoon.

Haven't seen one for sale in forever. Not as rare as a Tekna knife.

The Tekna knife appears to be back in production. (http://www.tek-tite.com/src/product_info.php?id=936) I read somewhere that they are being produced in Italy now. I have my original around here somewhere...have to get it out and see it is as kewl as I remember it being. The spring-loaded velcro straps were particularly nifty.

just like the one used in "Platoon". Made in Japan with original leather sheath. Where could I go to find out value and poss. sell this knife ( It has sat in gunsafe for 10 years.)

I see them sell between $40 and $60 on ebay all the time, i got mine for $45.00 the diff between these and the newer ones besides sheath , is the "Blood Groove" which runs up the middle of the older ones and the high polish finiish on the older as well. Wish I had better news :-(

current version is called the safekeeper II I believe. I like the Older much more. KEEP HER!

I guess I got really lucky. I bought my Urban skinner on ebay for 35.00 which shipping was included.
