Expensive knife rant

  • Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
Wow, I think that's more expensive then the whole of my bushcrafting kit put together, though I would not like to add it all up with the Mrs looking over my shoulder.
 
Personally, I'd rather have one of the makers on here make me one - it would be better quality, and cheaper!

I'm fortunate enough to have a Stu Mitchell bushy, a Singeblister necker and a Bernie G mini whittler on the way! All superb, all hand made and I have had the priviledge of meeting 2 of the makers in person so know what they put into each knife they make!

I'm still building up the funds (courage?) to have someone make me a damascus blade.
 
Yeah, it's expensive for a knife. A Porsche is expensive for a car. Nobody's making you buy one.
 
Good grief, that price is high! I paid $300USD for mine almost 2 years ago.

The laminated 3G steel on these knife blades is absolutely superb (on par with japanese San Mai blade steel performance from what I've been told). They are probably some of the best production pieces available. My TK1 knife is a tremendous bushcraft knife that is quite capable of taking the rough and tumble of bushcraft wear and tear without a wimper, and is easily comparable to my Fehrman Peace Maker in CPM 3V. Should be interesting to compare it to the 3V Skookum Bush Tools I have coming in the next few weeks.

It is really unfortunate that prices have gone up as much as they have. If you can get them at their pre-escalated prices, please consider it, they are terrific knives.

Be safe.
