So How much should he sell it for? $500? $700?I’m not stirring the pot here, honest question, but $1,100+ for a boot dagger… I’m not the only one whose eyebrows went up at that, right?
How about a $500 one? A $700 one? Where is the line?I’d like a boot dagger, but not a $1100 one![]()
Since I hate dealing with gas, I get by on my small 1+ wooded acres with one of these. If I have downed trees, and a big job, my neighbors come by with their gas saws to lend a hand.
It's a pretty amazing saw, got it at a great price a while back on amazon, and have extra batteries from my 80v Blower. So, I always have batteries charged.
Lots of good reviews on youtube.
10" is no problem with my 14" and 18" Corona saws...unless I need to be there all day. I like manual saws.

Hey, he can sell it for whatever he can get. I just think $1100 is so far ahead of the curve it makes you wonder about the seller’s thought processes…

Exactly right. The buyer has no recourse insofar as making a claim...unless they were the ones that provided the seller with a prepaid / insured shipping label.That's true. He seems to be thinking backwards about insurance. I always believed that insuring a package was protection for the seller. And I would insure the package and reflect that cost into the price if I were selling it. He sounds weird to me.
Posted on the forum before, but I got used to using bigger knives for everything and appreciate the added reach and power when delimbing, chopping, splitting etc.
If raw fire building/wood processing is going to be needed, my regular backwoods combo for a while, has been a folding Silky saw (the Ultra Accel lately. I like the curved blades. They're a little more efficient) and a large camp knife (over the years, the Junglas was a consideration, but I never bought one. I've used everything from a Cold Steel Trailmaster, to a kukri).
Ever since getting a CPK MC, that's become my go-to. I can do just about any/everything knife/blade related that I need to with it. If I REALLY need a smaller blade for some reason, I also always have a folder (the ZT0562. Well built and strong, but still cuts/slices well).
If I'm on groomed trails etc., I just have the FK2 and leave the Silky and MC at home.

I'm personally fine with whatever he wants to ask for it. It's hard to price things that don't sell often and that you know you won't be able to replace. If someone wants it $1,100 bad, well, that's up to them. Heck I might consider selling mine if someone wanted to throw that much at me, and I'd include the Pirtle sheath and insurance! Just a bit surprising, but I mean... I can count on one hand the number of times I've seen one sold.So How much should he sell it for? $500? $700?

I mean.....The boot dagger IS nice... it's actually what finally got me to confess to being a knife collector. It was the second knife I purchased with no intention of using. I ALMOST sold it butGrenock pretty much talked me out of it (at least that's how I saw it) and I am so glad that he did. Even with how much I love the thing, I couldn't fathom paying $1,100 for it at this point in my life--even if money was no object.
Yeah, you're not supposed to press your thumb on the spine on those...Would you expect anything less from a sky jacker?! (Hope you get it Bubba.)
Side note…CPKs that have bit me: Boot Dagger, K18
I think those are the ones made from invisibiliumHey000Robert your post out in the exchange commenting about DEK1 scales, but not actually selling anything (that I can tell) is cornfuuzin'. May wanna get that looked at.
