Frazier Knives VS $100 Knife Shop

[DanF]

So, what’s the difference in a Frazier Knife and a $100 Knife Shop knife? Not much!
1. Both have a broad selection of steels to fit the knife’s size and intended use.
2. Both are heat treated and tempered using accurate knifemaker’s ht kiln and a tempering oven controlled by dual thermocouples to assure there are no wild temp swings during the process.
3. Both types of knives are cryo treated as a particular type of steel may require.
4. Both are heat treated and tempered in small batches to assure each blade is given the individual attention and care it deserves.
5. Every 3rd knife in a general batch is tested for Rockwell hardness to assure we hit our targeted hardness numbers. (We really like RHC 62 for most steels and uses, but will consider special requests). All/every made-to-order knife is tested for Rockwell hardness.

So, the “stuff” that makes a good using knife are the same, so what the heck is the difference?
*Size
*Steel Type (cost and ht needs)
*Handle materials (and grade)
*Cosmetics

In short, the things that make for a good knife are the same, it’s mostly in the bling and the four items in asterisk.

I announced the idea for the $100 Knife Shop in a thread in the exchange for a larger, more intricate knife design. A member stated that he would take that knife for the $100 if that was what I meant (paraphrased by me).
I realized that I should have announced it in a separate thread, but I messed up and you have to stand up and be accountable for your goofs, lol!
So, to correct my poorly chosen announcement, let me give examples of what a $100 Knife Shop item is and what is not.
This first pic of the three are $100 Knife Shop Knives, $100 each.

The next two pics are not examples of
$100 Knives.

My bad, sorry for the confusion!
