The price may seem a bit steep..."BUT"...(I know...I know)...here's the difference. I am, by no means, defending James-n-crew. They have the ability to do that themselves. Comparing this knife to some previous ($295-$375) listing on their website doesn't take into consideration:
* Added expense of the stainless blade stock
* Time constraints, versus carbon forgings
* PLUS...It's a FULL MUSK OX handle!
Big difference, verses a spacer, when you start buyin' this stuff! I'm glad these guys are forging stainless blades. Being a Florida boy, I have learned, first hand, about rust and corrosion.
Keep it up gang!
Best, Capt. Chris
PS:..."PLUS"...It was the very "FIRST"...
