what am I missing on these ????

[Bmurray]

I see these pop up on occasion and never understood the price? Are they made of steel from the Titanic or the space shuttle Challenger? Seriously, what am I missing?

Funny that $30,000 in knives is stored in a Maxpedition case. If I had knives of that supposed value, they'd be in a big 1000lb safe.

From Wikipedia my source for all truth...
>> Mad Dog Knives was a custom knifemaking facility headed by Kevin McClung, a former Senior Materials Scientist at the American Rocket Company, <<

So may be it did come from a rocket.

Never heard of these til now. I guess I am shocked and awed by the price.

I’m pretty sure they won’t fit between the tines of a fork so @Warrior108 isn't a player.

Bmurray would just carve his patented “grip notches” into the handle.

And I’m thinking @Choppaman has 3 of each already.

I am guessing they mean Zimbabwean dollars, not US

 

[Dragonflybladewrks]

That's what i was thinking.....do you mean pesos?

Maybe they were cryo-quenched in space in zero gravity....

Metal casted in the vacuum of space causing it to have finer grains then... the space cryo

But the drama & storytelling behind the knives is free.

I never understood the hype I think he has a new tv show caught a couple of episodes last week

I want y'all to know that we are going to stick to our pricing schedule just the way it is even after seeing this. It isn't the first time ugly ass knives have been offered and sold at rediculous prices. Remember that lady in New York with the ugly saw blade knives with the extra upcharges for the glue lines?

The choil ricasso notch shape, fyi (imo), is a functional flaw. But, c'est la vie.

so what you're saying is you won't charge me extra for a dull edge?

 

[lmalterna]

I have thought the same about a number of makers- especially the semi custom offerings.

Now I didn't say that. Dulling the edge would be an extra step. But for a swell fella like you, I'd go real cheap and I'd even grind a little extra off the tip for ya while I'm at it. Kinda like a flathead screwdriver!

Sounds like you have a winner there the perfect working mans hard use tool.

If we paint it black, it would be tactical as hell.
