I love my Cru-V 4.7's (Unique), but sold off my others (loved them but never used). Sounds great, but let's chat again in 6 months if I can grab a SK3.5 and have it ship when I need it for a trip in a month.
Based on my Cru-V 4.7, it's design and performance, Survive! keeping knives under $300 is just a recipe for customer relations disaster. IMHO they are WAY WAY WAY underpriced and will continue generate demand that will continue to be extremely tough to meet. Add another $100-$200 to each knife and the extra profit from what's in the pipeline could generate cashflow to hire more people and train them to keep up with the slightly diminished demand from the increase or whatever they want to use the cash for.
Think I'm crazy and don't believe me? Just take one recent example, the limited edition GSO-4 regrind. The blades were initially produced in 2013, ground once scandi. Approximately 4 years after sitting they were redesigned, reground, re-heat treated with fitted scales. All this inventory sitting for 4 years, all the labor to grind twice, heat treat twice, shape handles twice and the price is $284 including a handmade Sagewood sheath which was probably $100 on it's own, making the knife itself about $184 by itself. That's a bargain basement price leaving no profit margin and should have been at least $100-$200 more a least, IMHO.
They produce a great product. It's time to start pricing them that way to fund what everyone wants, Survive! knives when we want them.
