174 for a fixed blade? In vg-10? Why?

fhoodits VG10 from Japan (not saying its worth it) and they are proud of that stuff .. just look at spyderco's insane pricing on Seki city stuff

Ben78Spyderco's 7 inch chef's knife is $130 in vg-10 and with that I get heat treating and quality that I pretty much know will be exceptional.

fhoodmeant more the folding knives .. the delica is a great knife .. it is not an 80 dollar knife ... Seki VG10 seems to have almost a luxury tax for some reason

Ben78You can get a Delica for 60 and it is one of the thinnest, lightest knives out there to include full steel liners.

fhoodOk let’s compare a para 3 and a q ball as similar knives around 3 inch blades g10 over steel liners. Para 3 American made s30v 129$ q ball Japanese vg10? 180$

Ben78Honestly, I don't know anything about the q ball. But as I said earlier, if the Spyderco chef's knife, which is seven inches of seki vg-10 goes for 130, I have trouble seeing how a fairly plane fixed blade at > 5 in justifies a near 200 dollar price tag.

fhoodLegendary dead guy penned the design (Al Mar) and he will haunt Nemesis if they don’t overcharge for VG-10 as he did... (Well that was the tale we told around the camp fire many years ago...)

AxeguyBit blunt but not inaccurate

Ben78Sorry, yeah. That was blunt and dark. In his time, Al Mar was a bastion of quality in an ocean of mediocrity. These designs—inspired by Al’s sketchbooks—are made with the blessing of Al Mar’s family. Jeff Hall, the maker behind Nemesis, is rolling out a whole series of these knives.
