Cost to make knife: Paramilitary II

I did not have any idea of what it costs to make a knife and now have at least some. I didn't care about overhead and have no problem with the price of any knife. Curiosity --- say, is steel the most expensive item or whatever. In my opinion a good proxy for the fair price of a knife is the price of a new one that sells on the secondary market. I'm actually more curious about Exxon's profits and financial health as I buy gas and high gas prices can ruin an economy (can cause stagflation going back to College Economics).

This was merely for my curiosity. Sorry if my wording was misleading, but thanks for responding. I know how pricing works (overhead and such), worked in finance on large multi-nationals and nationals and understand financials/markets better than most. I've recommended/killed a few billion dollar loan deals (luckily usually secured with a sufficient haircut).
I also rated the debt for many large companies --- sometimes saving them millions on borrowing costs --- earlier in my career.

I like successful companies and I like Spyderco. I also like the Para II and have no problem with its price. If I were a crusader it would not be about specialty knife prices!
Spyderco doesn't need my good wishes but they have it.

I know publiclly-traded and private debt well and would say beware cash flow and lawsuits (some investors don't). Read the SEC statement, audit, and every footnote.

Stock prices are more difficult to assess --- especially guessing which ones will go up! Thanks. :thumbup:
