I’m not actually saying that that knife is or isn’t worth the money but I actually don’t think that is a lot of money for a knife.
Me and my pal both go to archery, when I told him I was going to buy a folding knife for over £300 he said that’s a lot of cash for a knife, to which I replied ,you just spent over £500 on a stick. And I’ve seen long bows sell for up to £700, now that’s a lot of money for a stick.
Are any of the bush craft knives worth the money they are asking?
RM woodlore knife £450, you pay your money and you get what you pay for. But that doesn’t necessarily mean you get the quality you’ve hoped you’ve pay for. But personally id rather fork out £450 than waste 50-100 Quid on some of the junk out there, and unfortunately I have done, more than once, the midrange knives are probably biggest gamble out there. I’ve also fell for aesthetics more than once to.
If you just want a high quality razor sharp bit of steel spend 5 or 6 quid on an Opinel fantastic wee knives.
I think buying a Knife is like buying a good Antique’ spend as much as you can afford and get the very best name you can.
Hey if people want to risk their necks on some 30 or 40 pound survival knife be my guest it’s no skin off my nose, but not me.
What would you consider a reasonable price for combat knife? assuming you really needed one.
I spent over £500 on a battle ready sword some years ago, worth every penny, but as soon as I seen it I realised I should have spent the £2000 the first time..
Sorry for the wee rant, but I’m proud to be a knife snob, If I could get back all the money on all the cheep knives I’ve broken or thrown away because they were cr~~p over the years, I could probably afford that 2 grand Sword I fancied..
if you want to save money get a good knife the first time, if you're tight and want to save money get a really good knife.
S&W perfect, but if I had the cash I’ll go for a Korth.
