You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, haven't you?

Some people (me included) like Kaj Embretsens work, and if you ever have the chance to see one up-close, you will be amazed by the craftsmanship and fit&finish that go in his knives.

I am lucky enough to own one of his folders, an I have met Kaj, and he is not only a fantastic knifemaker, but he's a nice person as well.

So why would anybody buy that ugly folder? Why, probably because they like it. Is it worth 3860 dollars? Definately.

Kind regards,

Jos

Well... I think that folder is to much a fantasy knife. To much LOTR-type of knife. I can´t see no use for it. It´s way to expensive to use and not beautiful enough to hang on the wall like a piece of art. This knife is just not my cup of tea.
 
Jos !

A most beautiful folder you got there , and some serious cash too !

Please enlighten me and show me some examples of knives that are worth that much in your opinion so as I can get a feel for what your taste in knives is.

Personally I think they are beautiful and if I could afford his work, including the piece in question, I'd consider it.

Please show me which knife in the LOTR looks even similar to that.

It is understandable that you do not enjoy the particular look, but theres no need to post a thread about it, especially to a particular maker's work.
 
Since beauty is in the eye of the beholder, then so is ugly. Those are some ugly thumb studs.

Now go price some Lakes, Walkers, and Appletons :D
 
I don't know.. I'm of the school of thought that too much is just too much.
If I can't carry a knife, I won't buy it, no matter how much it costs. I have a couple of $500 knives, and I will actually stick them in my suit pocket from time to time.
But no way will I pay for a knife that I would be terrified of scratching up.
I understand the price, and the time involved, but it's not for me.
 
I think they are ugly. Just personal opinion. I totally feel the same as the original poster. Might be art, but art varies and everyone has their own taste

Very nice score.. Any more specs you care to share on it ? or picts ?
