SpyderJon said:In short: Its more expensive than other BMs because you're NOT BUYING A BM AND SINCE IT'S THEIR OWN BRAND THEY CAN CHARGE WHATEVER THEY WANT TO.

SpyderJon said:I think the degree of upset that this knife garners is just because nobody likes being reminded they spent $300.00 on a knife, only to have another knife come out and say "well, if you liked 'X' but are tired of having to wait for it and pay a lot of money for it, you'll LOVE 'Y!'" Thus, you get a lot of pointing (i.e. YEAH, but its really a Benchmade, and it doesn't have a Bushing!!!), and name-calling (i.e. THIEF).
... Silly, really. I mean its someone else's money, why do you care? More Sebenzas for you to buy then. I think taking a crap on someone else's choice of knife (not speaking of true rip-offs here) is really sad. Besides, the Alias didn't rip off the Sebenza, and there are MUCH worse examples of knives being ripped off elsewhere.
