I love the Spyderco Military model such that I have spent more $$ on it than any other knives, all brands and models considerered. However, when comparing its retail prices to PM2 and Para 3, I wonder if Spyderco Military is priced a bit too high. This speculation is also partly due to my observation that sprint runs andr dealer exclusives of Military sell much slower.
As of now, here are the retail prices of the base production model of these three at Knifecenter (s30v steel and black g10):
Military: $174
PM2: $136
Para 3: $130
Comparison of pm2 and para 3 seems to indicate the difference in the amount of materials used plays a nonsignificant role in deciding the prices. I seem to have heard the same argument in another thread. If this is true, should not Military be priced a bit lower?
Granted the comparision of millie and pm2 is a bit more complex as they use different locks, but I am not sure if linerlock costs more than compression lock, or actually less.
Or we can argue both PM2 and Para 3 are priced too low.
