Standard pricing on patterns - Koster Knives

[Daniel Koster]

Here's a breakdown of the standard pricing for the knives I make on a regular basis:


First I list the cheapest price - usually simple carbon steel & micarta, no options - then in parenthesis I put the typical price...or average price..across most all the orders I get for it.

• Binakoko = $195 ($225)
• Bushcraft = $90 ($135)
• Chef knife = $125 ($150)
• Dankura = $145 ($145)
• Gyuto = $195 ($225)
• K-BOAR = $225 ($225)
• K-TUSK = $145 ($175)
• K1 Karda = $95 ($105)
• K2 Karda = $105 ($115)
• K3 Karda = $95 ($95)
• K4 Karda = $125 ($145)
• K5 Karda - Keychain = $95 ($125)
• K6 Karda = $125 ($125)
• Mater = $150 ($150)
• Monster Nessie = $245 ($275)
• Nessmuk = $105 ($125-175)
• Santoku = $155 ($175)
• WSK = $255 ($275)

Again, to reiterate...these are starting prices, followed by typical averages. For example, you can get a nessmuk for as low as $105 (scandi ground, micarta handle, as-forged finish, no options). Most people fall with the $125 to $175 range...unless ordering in 3V (an upgrade) - which shoots the price up over $200.

Conversely, pretty much every K3 Karda I've made - I've sold for $95 (sheath included). Hardly ever gets tricked out.

A Monster Nessie could easily go over $400 with options....but rarely does so...haven't had one go over $300...ever. Guess that keeps it in a "user class". :thumbup:


If you have questions....let's hear 'em!
