I see no reason why it should be cheaper than a Southard. Handles should add quite a bit to the price to compensate for the slightly lower price of the blade...
Maybe not less, but I sure didn't expect it to be more.
The Rubicon has some nice add-ons, but I thought a Ti RIL and the improved blade steel of the Southard would have off set those, and kept them about the same price, or a bit less.
MSRP is $499. That's where I came up with the $265-$295 I posted in another thread. Very steep indeed.
Yes, it seems very steep for a S30V liner lock with a 3" blade.
