Can someone explain this please? I mean come on. I have been a member of Blade and whatnot for years and have paid a lot of money for some knives but the truth of it is, "Why are they so damn expensive?" I mean for real, especially the mass produced ones. I can understand if it is a custom job or something done by hand warranting some major coin but some knives that are mass produced cost like $150-$300 if you so wanted to spend that much on one. Why is that? It is not like it is really difficult to make. Some are depending on the blade, metal quality, etc. but most are not. I mean I am all about having a good knife and I have had some TOPS knives, Cold Steel, Emerson, etc. etc. all the quality guys but the truth of the matter is I do not know why I have them. I mean I am not seriously going to go out and use a $300 knife in the field. I can buy a $40 knife to do the same thing a $300 knife would do in the field. You could argue quality but I have test a lot of them and IMO most of the time it is not worth the extra $$$$ unless you just want to collect them or like the design and whatnot. So, again why and where do some of these manuafacturers get off with these high $$$$$$ prices. Someone enlighten me here because it seems like knife prices have skyrocketed.
