Price you absolutely refuse to pay no matter how good the knife is

[LostCause]

I used to only have inexpensive knives and never thought I would spend more than about $50 for a knife. Then I found a $100 I really wanted and eventually talked myself into buying it. I fell in love with it and soon bought a $200 knife, then a $300 knife. I have been happy for awhile, but lately I've been eyeing a Sebenza. I think at this point it would be foolish for me to say I will put a cap on it.

To help you - I held one in the hand recently and was underwhelmed. I'd definitely not pay anywhere near asking price for it.

$150.00 no more!!
Can’t see what a $500.00 knife does any different than a $50.00 does!??!
They all cut!!

I have the same logic. They do the same thing.

 

[LostCause]

purpose-specific cheaper knives (like a Spyderco Salt for the kayak, or something).

Spyderco is cheap?

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

cheap?

Even this knife, which doesn't have nearly as much value as the picture suggests, was sold

 

[pvicenzi]

Keeps going up.

It’s all relative

I bought my first $100.00 knife, a stag Puma Lord, in the 1980s, at a Cutlery World store. That was the best store I've ever been in! Long gone now. Pretty much downhill since then!
Here's one I passed on........

We were in a high end Jewelry shop on the Plaza in Santa Fe, NM. I'm lucky I made it out the door with an $800.00 ring for my wife being the only thing purchased! Coincidentally that's about the most I've spent on one knife.

If I can afford it: I'll buy it!
If I can't afford it: I'll STILL buy it; but feel a bit guilty!

Yep….the days of finding a bargain on the Plaza are long gone! Still a great place to take a stroll and a sip or two though.

I generally stay in the under $1000 area but I refuse to answer that I’ve got some customs I’ve dropped $3500 for. Shhhhhhh……….. don’t let the wife know. Just kidding, she spends at least as much on jewelry and purses.

Guess how I know you have never owned one, let alone used one?

Two zeroes in my account, $20 might be too much, three zeroes and $900 might be fine, once you get over six or seven zeroes,

What if your bank account is all zeros, like mine?

 

[David Mary]

What if your bank account is all zeros, like mine?

I'll give you a dollar. Just put it in front of all the zeros and you're set.

 

[Bob Denman]

Just spent $1600 on this little beauty...

 

[sgt1372]

$500 was my limit before I stopped buying any more knives in Dec 2022.

Currently, I won't buy any knife regardless of the price.

I appreciate that.

It’s all relative

Paysan what?

 

[mak1277]

Paysan what?

I just mean it all depends on what you’re used to paying for things (not just knives) and how much money you have. There are definitely people who think a $200 expenditure is “cheap” or even inconsequential. I know people who pay $100 for T-shirt’s. Just plain old cotton T-shirt’s. So yeah, in that context a spyderco is cheap.

It came with a sheath of solidified H + Fentanyl....

...too soon?

Spyderco is cheap?

Hahaha. Yeah, it’s all relative (Even within Spyderco’s lineup).
