Why would I make it up???????Are you just making this up or are there actually such brands/knives? If the latter, please do give the name(s). You can PM me if you do not wish to reveal the name(s) publicly.
That is completely correct. Some people seemed bothered by it, and several people pointed to the divisiveness of the topic, so I figured it was actually the right thing to do.One pair got bunched so hard the guy up and closed the thread.
Not a knife, but knife adjacent. This Emerson "combat axe" retails for a staggering $1995:
Seems like a lot for a waterjetted piece of steel with some light grinding and a bit of maple.
There are lots of examples I can think of. But you must keep in mind that to each is their own.
I for one cannot fathom why Grismo Norseman costs $1000 or why Jim Skelton does not give away his knives for free.
Because he’s a guild member?
Case Bose Premium. $550.00 for a Stockman?? Whatever...
I’m really surprised by the author about the griptillian ! I thinks it’s a solid blade plastic and all. Better than a lot of blades. For me a waste is customization - maybe because I can’t afford it ???? I pay for performance and design, not a kewl color spacer or flame titanium pocket clip.
I agree that $550 is a bit much, but they really are night and day compared to the regular production models.
Oh yeah , I forgot about these Jamokees thanks for reminding me; they take top honors in every bad category;but remember they need the money to operate that high tech state of the art facility with the declassified CIA security system, think tanks and all that other crap they were spewing on their website....Quartermaster (QTRMSTR) Knives takes the prize as the biggest rip off imho.
I'll go with you down that road to a certain point. I think customizing inexpensive knives is silly since you can double the price of the knife quickly. Customizing a knife you know your going to sell is also silly since your not going to get the money back out of it but with higher end keepers it makes it one of a kind.I’m really surprised by the author about the griptillian !

What knives, according to you doesn't deserve their price-tag ?
To me, it has to be the Benchmade Griptilian 551.
The whole thing feels like a toy. Cheap plastic handles, partial liners... for the price of around the Para-military 2 ? Big no from me. I dig the design of the knife, but I can't help to feel like it's a rip-off.
What's yours ?
