Not sure what they went for in 1981; but a heck of a lot less than; they do on eBay . I bought one from SMKW in 1989 for $75. On eBay they are going for around $225 - $240; mint with box and sheath.

The Sidewinder first showed up in the Oct 1, 1980 price list...retail $76.50.
At that time the dealer cost each would have been half of that.

I have seen an original price sticker on a Sidewinder box at a gun show and it read $85. The dealer was asking $275.00. I own four of these great knives and the most I've paid was $225, which included original box, sheath, papers and a never carried or sharpened knife. The knife was as close to perfect as you can get.
I absolutely love this knife pattern and wish Case or somebody would bring it back.
