Common Cheetah codes

Single locking clip blade with swing guard; missing or loose guards should reduce confidence and value.

Older bone, stag, and limited-production covers attract stronger collector demand than routine modern examples.

Value drivers

  • Swing guard present, tight, and original
  • Lockup with no play and full clip blade
  • Older bone, stag, or limited-run covers

Condition pitfalls

  • Missing or loose guards ignored in value estimates
  • Lockback wear treated as cosmetic only
  • Routine modern runs compared with early scarce examples

Baseline value bands

Cheetah comps move quickly because guard condition and lock function are central to buyer trust.
