I also agree with your assessments on:
1. "the word "fair" is not the first one I'd apply to Hinderer pricing. It would be more along the lines of "seriously?". And then I'd go out and buy a Sebenza 21."
2. "Sounds fragile to me. William Henry knives have a reputation as being pocket jewlery . . . until you use them to cut stuff. Then you find out what their real merits are. (Keep in mind that while everybody's going ga-ga over the latest implementation of ZDP-189 in a Kershaw knife, Matt Conable has been using that blade steel on William Henry knives for years. And his blades are laminated to increase strength as well. They are, first and foremost, superb cutting instruments.)"
Within the constrain of similar price range. I also like William Henry. I have one Gentac B30. But.....ruggedness....fun factors w/ambidextrous double thumb lugs ....for my money....Sebenza 21 Insingo....
Do you mean CRK here rather than RHK because I think you do, and it changes the context of your statement completely. Same goes for your post before. Just trying to save the OP a little confusion.
You are correct. Typo.
Thanks!
