The blue one is beautiful, but I can't understand why buy a pocket knife for $219? the 33 of you guys that bought it - what do you plan on using it for? not trying to be condescending, if I bought a knife for that much it would probably go in a case and shown off. Otherwise, every other knife I have I use for whatever random task comes up.

jumpy.coreMy $2100 Todd Begg sits in display with a custom Bowie. My $500 and under go in my pocket until time to rotate. My EDCs range high for quality in parts, assembling, and standards, to the low just because I like the look and quality. And trust me, there is a difference between "buy 2 for $12" and good $100 knives. A huge difference between there on up.

jumpy.core$220 is cheap fora picket knife using high quality parts and high quality workmanship. That being said, $250 for a Chinese made knife (Or where ever in Asia it is from.) is the upper limit. People rave about the material, but going from the lowest quality steel, to the highest quality steel is <$20. So high quality steel isn't the reason for high end knives. The steel needed to make a knife blade is just around $5-20, even for the highest best steel. Look on knife maker supply sites for process of different steels. And remember the price is fora long piece that you can usually best several knives into. (A 2" wide by 48" long piece will yield 8-10 average knives. So if it's $200, it's really $20-25/knife, and that is very high quality steel. Also, divide that number by 3-4, and that's what the knife maker is paying, even less if it's a Chinese alloy analogous to a high end steel. Not including pattern welded/Damascus stock.) So if anyone, or any manufacturer, tells you, "The knife is really expensive because it uses better steel," they're full of shit. $200 is not very much money, for a high quality knife, either way. I just would not spend much more ona Chinese made knife. Why would you skimp out on something that is in your pocket all day everyday, that you use a lot?
