If I'm correct and that knife sells for $500, well it's definitely a sweet design, and I hope they have great luck selling cases of them. The screws are timed to face the same direction, and that shows a lot of hand work and attention to detail, I would love to have one, but at about half it's current cost.

You caught that too. Years ago, custom rifle builders, and pistol smiths could usually draw attention to their work, by that one thing that you could catch with your first glimpse. If they went to that much trouble, you could usually count on the rest of the work to be as perfection oriented. Those gunsmiths, I'm afraid, are a dying breed.

The cost is what it is because it is worth it. You don't just get a blade that's hand made, you get a trainer and sheath that's ambi and fits both trainer and blade perfectly.

The blade itself has a serious pedigree which only a few others can even remotely touch.

For CCW, it is the best on the market, without a doubt.

I was seriously considering picking that knife up until I saw it was AUS8 steel. For that coin I expected a S30V or VG-10 blade material. How well does that blade hold an edge with that steel? I have 2 Emersons with AUS8 steel blades that get straight razor sharp but horrible for retention of the edge.
