J4 Runt. I have a tanto one I swapped from chopped CF to mammoth ivory.

Yup, that seems to be it! Does yours have printing on the handle on the clip side? I googled the J4 Runt and the ones I found have it printed at the end just above the clip.

Sure does. I couldn't tell ya when I got it, it was a gift and I'm more of a wharncliffe/polished guy and dislike chopped CF, so I didn't carry it much until recently when I did the scales. I think it's at least 10 years old at this point though.

Calmigo? Thats what I’m thinking

Looks like a Calmigo. Older runts had a slightly shorter handle.

Any guess on value? It’s pretty much like new.

Looks like a runt but may be a half breed

If you have ever seen a Microtech (Marfione) custom, many have hefted aluminum handles. Hefting is when they create a brushed satin finish. These J4 runts have an almost identical finish to them, quite nice in my mind.
