"DADDY"
Looks nice but I have a few wusthof 5” boning knives that I really like for cutting up my meat.
I said "More Economical" not "economical"... not sure if that was directed at me or not... but just clarifyinglol @ $160 being "economical"
It's better - Bark river Kalahari Sportsman is CPM-154 with micarta etc and it starts around 200 so coming in under that with a cheaper polymer handle and decent sheath seems close... I think 6 months from now used/street will be around $125-$140 which I think would be good buy at that price.Does that price drop change anyone's mind?
I think I was just looking for an opportunity to voice my opinion on a $160 boning knife because my opinion matters on Rokslide!I said "More Economical" not "economical"... not sure if that was directed at me or not... but just clarifying
100% agree... knives are like watches... a timex pretty much just does what a rolex does... and for most people a timex is all you ever will need/want. I'm not a watch guy... but I am a knife guy and appreciate craftsmanship, action, US made etc... this benchmade cost way less then the knife in my pocket today... do I need expensive knives? No... but it brings me joy and is a fantastic piece of engineering. I'm a collector and not only a knife user so there is value outside of just being a simple tool for me... and yea I get that I'm in the minority lol.I don't think that some of the people complaining on prices in this thread have actually shopped quality knives or know that people pay hundreds of dollars for simple pocket knives.
I get it though, I was a chef in a previous life and I still use the $14 stamped steel bladed plastic handled knives that you buy from the restaurant supply house while other people I know in the chefing world have spent well north of $1000 for a chef knife.
To each their own, the Meateater knife looks like a nice well crafted item with a bit of style built in. I think the price is right when compared to other similar knives on the market. it's for the person that enjoys the look and the feel along with the utility aspect. No dicferent than someone tbat will spend $80k on a car to drive to work when a $20k car will get you there just the same. Many people simply want utility and thats it.
