I buy wholesale and sell various brands. The price on Lion Steels Sr1a aluminum and other knives (like the hunter) jumped $15 (wholesale) so I'd guess retail jumps $20. Trust me, buy now before the pricing catches up with inventory. Look, I'm not trying to sell(don't contact me), just trying to give a heads up to fellow knife lovers. That's all... Like you, I'm a fellow knife nerd who happens to sell a little here and there. This isn't a knock on Lion Steel either, they have to make a living too. My over-all thought is that this is the start of some real inflation we are about to see. The Ontario Rat 1 stuff jumped too.
