BOS Heat-Treated CPM 3V vs. Busse INFI / Mod A8 ? Actually, yes, I have a question how different the end-product is. And Heat Treat for what end-goal ? Edge holding, corrosion resistance, etc.
In any case, the two knives have completely different geometry. And what you don't seem to understand is that the "value" is what me - the owner who bought and uses them - assigns to them, since I bought and use them.
If you don't like the Buck vs. Busse comparison, pick a 400$+ Infidu over the new $250 CPK BFK. Same weight, same features. The 2x "value" difference is 100% subjective.
I love truffles. My wife hates them. Who could argue with either of us ?
