Well, $275 isn't exactly chump change for most people here. It's a very nice knife & may be well worth it, but no denying it's alot of money. Nothing nutz about it.

After my read of your post I came rushing back here to blast you. But I held my breath and re-read your post and I am not sure It violates an important rule of this forum which is not to make negative comments in for sale threads.

I do think your post is based on bad information or a lack of understanding of what Bill Buxton is offering for sale here.

First of all these knives are stunning in execution of design. Perfect attention to detail with no short cuts in final finish.

The choice of blade steel alone makes these knives a value. Bill's 52100 blades are greatly respected on this forum and it takes a real master to get the results he does. I am no maker but my understanding is this steel while yielding some of the finest blades possible, is very demanding to work with.

I convinced Bill's name for the knife "EDC" is a mistake, for while it does accurately describe the designs utility it makes light of its quality. I have 4. Three purchased from Bill and one purchased second hand here on the forum. I am keeping and using one and three of my dearest Friends are getting gifts this year that will leave them breathless.

In my opinion these knives are a absolute steal at $275. I have no possible way to justify another, yet I just my talk myself into it.

So yes..... it is Nutz that this knife is still here.
 
Oh yeah one more thing.

For many of us the integrity and behavior of the maker matter. I have no desire to buy knives made by self absorbed jackasses. I have no desire to send my hard earned dollars to a man that is not someone that I would choose to befriend. There are several makers that create knives I would dearly love to own if the human being behind the knife was not a POS.

You need not look far on the Internet to see examples of Buxtons generosity and concern for other human beings.
 
Bill's knives are definitely top notch and a bargin, in my opinion. He's one of the first people I got to with 52100 questions as well as others. Great guy and very generous...in his skills and attitude.

Well, I'm not sure why I should be blasted, as you put it, for stating my opinion that $275 is alot of money for most people here. I was NOT giving an opinion as to whether the knife was overpriced or not. As I said, the knife may be well worth it, (& yes, maybe alot more) but the fact of the matter remains $275 is ALOT of $ for most people here. It has NOTHING to do with B. Buxton the knifemaker or his integrity as a man. I stated a simple fact. You're reading into something I never said, nor intended. In no way, shape or form, we're my thoughts being negative towards Bill Buxton. That opinion applies to anyone here selling knives in the $300 range.

And I don't dispute any of that. I'm sure if I met B. Buxton I'd feel the same way about the man. I simply stated $275 is alot of $ for most people to spend on a knife. And that's my opinion of why the knife is still here. Why some people take that as an attack on his knifemaking skills or his integrity is beyond me. :confused:
 
Whoa, whoa, whoa, Mick57. Did I bad mouth you? I just put in my two cents like everyone and anyone else should be allowed to. Positive and negative. I said nothing about you, your thoughts or your comments, only my opinion.

Please jump off me now.

Let's get back to Bill's knife, shall we.

I agree, let's get back to the knife. Sorry for the direction this went. It certainly wasn't my intention.
 
WOW, thanks again guys for the very nice compliments. Justabuyer- I really appreciate your comments on my knives and the my business transaction relations, it is very humbling. Thank you.
I won't go on here, for this forum is for sales and its not right for any maker to take anything away from the other makers by making this a thread away from selling.
Mick57- quote; Well, I'm not sure why I should be blasted, as you put it, for stating my opinion that $275 is alot of money for most people here

I agree it is a fair amount of money and I appreciate your feedback. But $10 is a lot of money to someone that doesn't have it, so this might not be the best forum to state your opinions on how much money is a lot of money, unless the makers ask. I'll be the first to say you have the right to your opinions here or anywhere else, but some opinions might be better well suited for a different forum. ..

Thank you all again for the nice compliments, please be friendly with each other.

If J says it should be gone then Mr. Buxton I will by it. It seems as though there is no picture or discription of the knife though. Heck I will by it anyway if it is good enough to have J's admiration it will be a great piece to add to my collection. Just be so kind as to let me know by way of email or this post as to what I am buying. Thanks.
 
bushkill, I tried to send you an e-mail but the administrator won't let me have you address. If you'll send me an e-mail at camper@yhti.net I'll send you a picture. If you go back to my first post on the first page there should be a picture of it there, but sometimes things don't show up the same for everyone.

Thank you,

Bill
 
I was getting ready to pull the trigger on this one myself if it stayed up much longer. True, it'd be my fourth EDC from Bill, but none of my others are koa. ;)
