  • Today marks the 24th anniversary of 9/11. I pray that this nation does not forget the loss of lives from this horrible event. Yesterday conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was murdered, and I worry about what is to come. Please love one another and your family in these trying times - Spark

At what price point would you consider a knife to be decent?

From what I can gather - between $129 to $149 - is about the asking price for one that's as new in box. As I mentioned earlier in this thread - a lot of my old knives have become too valuable to carry and use.
My as new in box - AFCK being one of those.
I have a bunch of older knives that are in that same category.
It's not that the dollar amount is out of line - it's the fact that you can no longer just go out and buy a new AFCK.

You got that right, except for the price.
The last online sale record I could find of a NIB condition 812hs was 2009 for 3 times what you state. Actually, 2009 is the last sale record I could find for any 812hs, NIB or not. Even the used ones were going for near 3x what you said.
Since 2014, when I 1st started looking for another one, I've found plenty with ats34 and m2 partially serrated edges, but none like I pictured.

But the point is, if I had it to do over again, I wouldn't change a thing.
