All the usual (but pertinent) comments about Drop's pricing lately aside.....
Can someone explain to me what makes this 3.5" VG1 knife worth $250 in the first place?
Seems a bit steep, but maybe I'm missing something important?
Point of reference : I paid $75 for a CS SRK in VG1 (6" blade).
Clearly this is a fancier knife, with more grinding and polishing, and a more expensive handle....but $175 more expensive??
KavikThat's not Drop's fault.
This is part of the Cold Steel "premium" line. They charge insane prices for a bit of polish and buffing. They've always done this.
I wanted this...until I saw the price. It's a stupid price for a nice knife.
LX_EmergencyYeah, was saying I know that part isn't Drop's fault (hence the "aside")
Glad I'm not the only one though, who doesn't understand the value the manufacturer is putting on this one
If I can buy this for approx. $18 cheaper on Amazon and have it here free in two days, what is my advantage to buying through Drop? Am I missing something?
I’m new to drop and I’m not clear on the “new management”. I’m still learning the site. I’ve only bought 2 items so far in the few months of me logging in. one took about a week to receive. I didn’t have high expectations for the product so I really wasn’t disappointed. The second item I won’t receive for up to a month 🤦♂️ I could’ve paid more possibly at amazon and received it in a day or two. With anything nowadays you just gotta do your homework before you “drop” your hard earned cash.
