For that kind of money I could get a custom knife built to my specifications.
I never did get why limited editions seem to cost an arm and a leg. Unless the knife is made from high-end materials like gold or precious gems, what difference does it make if they build 600 or 6,000?

Always looking for vintage knives with Virginia, Maryland, or Washington D.C. tang stamps. Any condition.

Yeah Jerry you have a very good point. Id' say that counts for about $30. More or less.

If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.
Mmm that's purty! And is the right size too! And is a stockman which makes it most holy indeed.
But it's way too high. I could buy a decent user Case XX 6375 for that kind of money.

This upgrade to superior high-end materials ensures cutting capabilities rarely seen in even the most expensive custom knives, and the edge on this truly beautiful traditionally styled working man's knife has the potential to last a lifetime without re-sharpening!
My collection knives are the same way since they are never carried or used. Will never need to be sharpened.
Yes, good looking knife but as Wade said, I could get a nice CASE XX era stockman that I am confident would out do and outlast that knife.
Yes Josh. I think they are smoking crack.

Well Jerry that right there just about does it for me. I'm cashing in all my GINSU stock and saving up for that one!

My bet is it's a couple of old hippies, stoned on weed, thinking up a way to get rich. If they were smoking crack you could buy it off them for $5
