Congrats on the knife! Pricing seems very in line with other makers in the same style and quality. Now... the secondary market is another story... but given the scarcity to popularity ratio...
Seems very similar to the American Knife Company Forest and Compact Forest knives. Be curious to see them go head to head in a comparison. As far as I know, they aren't making any more of them, but pricing is more reasonable on the secondary market at the moment.
I like the shape for a bushcraft knife. I would not be willing to wait years for one. I have shifted to Kepharts for the woods these days. But I like a pointy woods knife overall.6+ years for a puuko ?? that seems a really long wait, but from one of the other posts I was expecting a 600+ price tag
If you really got it for half that, it seems in the reasonable range

I don't understand why you don't just call it a knife. Bush tool....?
The Skookum is basically that one tool option many of us have been searching for, a stout unbreakable knife that can handle abuse but is also very good at delicate precise tasks. you can baton a sapling down with it, and also skin a squirrel or gut a small perch. The only thing it doesn't do well is chop.Well, after a very long wait, I got word from Rod, and my SBT is in the making! I'm very excited, and can't wait for it to be finished.
