I'm excited to see it, but I dont think I need a $180 machete.
Considering the Ontarior RTAK is around $100 from online dealers, I was thinking the final internet price for the RC-10 would be around $130-140?I hope that's the case. I'd recommend keeping it below the Scrapyard/Swamp Rat price range.
We don't compete with anyone. Not to sound like an asshole, but our price is what it is, regardless of what others prices may be.
I will go back and say this again: even the old RTAK, to me, was basically a high-priced machete. I was really surprised that it sold as well as it did being it was designed as a sheath blade / machete compromise for the jungle. In all honesty, if I need an RTAK style blade then I would be fine with a good Condor machete or even a cheaper Tramontina. With that said, the popularity is there and even I will admit that I would use the hell out of an RTAK style blade more than I would a RC-3, so we're going to build one. It may be a little pricey but we plan on knocking the margin of profit down on this blade to take care of some of the extra manufacturing costs and get it to market as least expensive as possible.
