Bohica,

Relax, I believe that everyone of us have paid "too much" for a knife or knives since we began collecting. Nevertheless, one of two things happened...we paid the "market price"...or we did not do our "homework" on the specific knife prior to purchasing it. You are in good company here. No one forces anyone to pay a high price...but if thats what you want and you just gots'ta have it...then you pay that asking price (or you deal a bit with the seller). My friend, you did not get screwed...I see you as being "One Randall Richer"...congratulations.

Brian
