SAN MAI VALUES DROP?

There seems to be something missing from the $212 story. Manufacturing San Mai III knife blades is a very difficult process and therefore expensive. There is also a very high demand for high end laminated steel, hence the $700 for vintage CS San Mai III. Do you have a link to the preorder ad that you can post?

The Fallkniven S1 is made in Japan using laminated VG10 steel, and it typically sells for about $165 USD. The new Master Tanto is made in Taiwan using laminated VG10 steel, so the projected street price sounds about right to me.

Knifecenter's country of origin in their ads are completely messed up. They show the new VG10 core Taiwan made Sanmais as made in Japan. But then they list all Fallknivens as made in Sweden.
