Some price increases are inevitable

First official post here. As a long time lurker on Blade Forums, I signed up for an account really just so I could take a shot at getting a CPK blade. At the risk of paying more money than I might have if I acted sooner, I will say that based on what I can tell as far as research goes, CPK seems extremely underpriced relative to the quality. It would be awfully hard to fault a US maker for raising prices in an inflationary market, particularly when the pricing is already astoundingly good. If prices on the secondary market regularly meet or exceed the release price, then the release price is cheap by comparison. It seems to me CPK could stand to raise prices and I'm OK with paying a higher price if it means supporting a quality US business.
 
I'm another long time lurker and feel blessed to have found a maker, company and family like CPK. They are right up my street, as we say here. Every aspect is spot on.

I hope to support you more in the future. I'm pretty skint right now and can't even afford membership but I won't sell my one and only CPK.


Peace
 
I think most folks like me, are initially drawn to CPK because there's no one else around providing the consistent level of product at these prices.

We end up staying and becoming part of the CPK community because of your transparency and business practices. I know I'm not the only one who appreciates all your posts about the knife making processes.

Inflation is hitting everyone/everything, and even though anyone with a lick of sense understands that pricing increases are inevitable, we still appreciate you taking the time to explain it.
 
Thanks for the straightforward explanation. As usual, your honesty and attention to detail are recognized and appreciated.

Heirloom quality costs, inflation is a reality.

My opinion: your products have been substantially underpriced and represent outstanding values. At higher prices they should remain good values.
