If ebay is anything to go by then not cheap at all!

Really depends on condition. Anything Fallschirmjäger is pricey at the moment!

I got one for next to nothing when I was overseas and didn't realize the value of it. Lost it in a poker game with a German who asked me "how is the game Americans play? This poker?" I should have known better!

Lost all my money too. That was the coolest poker game I was ever in.
There were uzis and pistols on the table - a couple knives stuck in. One Australian guy lost all his money - stole a truck and went into town to get more. He got back, lost that money, and then the MPs came and popped him for stealing the truck!

That was my Sam Pekinpah moment for sure. But I still miss my knife!
