My biggest issue is when I see factory knives priced like custom knives.
I have been a collector for a long time,
So tell us about the last time that you were shocked by a knife; and for our purposes, it doesn’t matter whether that knife was multimillion art knife at a show or the first time that you gazed upon a Benchmade knife at the local sporting goods.

Frame of reference is very important when considering a new knife acquisition. It bugs me just about every time I buy a loaf of name brand bread.Just like a few of the other “older” members have stated, I get sticker shock every day. When your frame of reference dates back 10 years or more, I suppose that’s inevitable. The reality is that you just become used to being a lot more selective with your purchases, knowing that the tides of popularity rise and fall, and making your personal value decisions carefully and patiently.
