$443 is MSRP, not $472.99 (473) Blade HQ will match pricing, free shipping.
Regardless, there are other knives in the $200 to $300 range that are superior.
That is America’s problem, which it might eventually take responsibility for by implementing realistic gun laws, as New Zealand did recently in the wake of the Christchurch massacre: and actually doing something about the violence the US continually endorses. It is absolutely not the case in Seoul, or in Tokyo, or in smaller cities in Korea or Japan.
rmeurantA madman that is allowed to roam free in the public domain knows he is not mandated or regulated by some laws written on a piece of paper. The Madman is the problem-or Insane,or chemically imbalanced or what ever other excuse the "brain experts call these actions. I am not going to argue about the lack of gun crimes in any other Country. Nor am I going to get into the number of people that are slashed, stabbed, bludgoned, incenerated, poisoned by non gun articles in Seoul, Tokyo, London, Paris, etc. I choose to protect my family by any means possible and due to my advanced tears on this Earth, I will seek the upper hand by whatever means are at my disposal. Live Free or Die. I will say no more on this subject.
Could we please have less knives, and more actually useful real ultralite hiking & camping gear? What has happened to Drop? Knife after knife after knife after knife after knife - one is quite enough thanks, and they don't even ship internationally. Can we please return to gear that is actually relevant to ultralite? Zpacks, HMG, MLD, Evernew, ... Packs, stoves, quilts, headlamps, parkas, ...
I apologize. I didn't realize that Drop was forcing international members to look at deals they were not interested in and/or could not order. I had the same problem for years. Amazon UK held my family hostage and forced me to constantly look at offers for products that they would not ship to me here in the states. Fortunately Interpol put a stop to it but not before permanent psychological and emotional damage was caused to me and my family.
KestrelXUndoubtedly that permanent psychological and emotional damage has resulted in your fixation on weaponry and insistence on having Drop satisfy your highly specialized cravings, you poor tormented (and perchance late lamented) soul, you have my deepest sympathy. XXX.
