The price makes more sense, not complete sense mind you, but more sense, if you think of it as an artistic purchase rather than a utility purchase. You appreciate the form and design, but don't value it monetarily, while others may. Like you, I wouldn't shell out that kind of cash for so little physical substance, but others might. You can't argue taste. Thanks for the review.

@irhombus Great point you can't always put a price on taste or art

[turbowilly12]

i am not goin buy it 

[CannabisDelux]

I want this knife so bad, but i wont pay more then 60$ on a knife this size :S

[ibesteadymobbin92]

@Asbeau there were only about 600-800 of them. so mass produced no. artistic? hell no. its a fancy box cutter.

@gcboyallday You think you'll find a knife with carbon fiber scales and VG-10 regardless of size? Not happening. Overpriced? Yes. Worth 35$? NO.

@Asbeau And every painting everywhere is an original, painted by hand by a real person. No copies ever made in a factory overseas. Everyone buys an original. smh.

@irhombus

Get real, it isn't an 'artistic purchase', It's a mass-produced tool made in a factory.

[gcboyallday]

lmao thats a joke, NOT worth it at all... maybe for 35$

[SCAREDBANANA]

they should make a cheeper version of it.

Simply put, if something is illogically priced, don't buy it. This is something that defies logic and reason (a 2" bladed knife for $200 MSRP). You could buy a Spyderco Tenacious (around $30-$35) or any number of small EDC knives for a 1/5-1/4 the cost of this over-priced novelty.

It would be like buying a taco at Taco Bell for $30. You wouldn't pay $30 for a taco, why would you pay $200 for a small knife?

[1969jmac]

I'd give em $7 for it

[ekserchina]

New SS version is out in the $80 range. Still overpriced for such a small folding knife with vg10 steel. Why not get the Endura for less or a Kershaw Rake for the same price. Add another $10 and get the Spyderco Sage. I know it's a cool looking piece and I do appreciate the cool look but even the carbon fiber version should be around $50-$55.
