AlexJPAbout a year ago gpknives.com had the BENCHMADE 810BK CONTEGO for about $135USD, so I know detailer price is much lower. I contacted GP Knives and they said that Benchmade raised their MSRP so they need to be consistent with all other retailers. Amazon price on this knive is $178USD with Free S&H. Tactical Distributors has it for $174. I hope there is a MassDrop for this item.
