Yeesh...
$2k for VG-10 is bananas. For that kind of money I'd expect tungsten carbide or an exotic steel like Rex-121 or Maxamet... with scales made petrified mahogany reclaimed from the grand staircase of the titanic.
That's a $75 knife. It looks like it was made from a folder kit from Jantz Knife Supply:

That’s not any wood.i'm surprised it doesn't cost more. but it's certainly not worth what they're asking. Take some steel from Chad and add some wood and boom a $300 knife becomes $2k
My wife gave me one of the Jap sourced William Henry’s from the days when they came with a “knife holster”.That's beautiful. I have several pieces from William Henry and it's absolute art. My favorite two are my money clip with woolly mammoth tusk and koftgari 24K gold and second would be my "Blue Ridge" bracelet.
oh i understand where the wood comes from. it's very cool. and assume it comes with certificate of authenticityThat’s not any wood.
The California was sunk at Pearl Harbor and raised to fight.
Lots of cool 03s still exist that were salvaged from her.

I love it. Has to be twenty years old now.
The holster is getting beat. It was my daily carry when in uniform and not having to clip/Unclip - only draw from the little holster - it kept from having the clip wear out the pocket it rode.
Tried to get another holster from them but no go.
Damn, redneck... you sound just like my wife when she buys a new handbag.Spoken like a poor. You don't buy William Henry stuff for steel specs dude.
“Holster”@pmclaine if it’s a leather holster I have a guy who could spin you one up. Feel free to shoot me a message if you want, I’ll get you his name.
I like that a lot. I’ve always had a thing for wharncliffe blades.I've been carrying a Benchmade 630 for a better part of a decade (probably longer) until I just recently replaced it with the Protech Malibu:

Kershaw Blur Tanto / Serrated for the last 12 years. Sandvik 14C28N steel is easy to sharp after abusive use and it still holds an edge.
Bought it as a blem from the KershawGuy and couldn't find a blem.
Do you think the extra $20 for the S30V is worth it? I’m seriously considering this knife
I really wanted to like the Arcane, but it was way too small and slick. It made a great first knife for my oldest daughter when she was 14. She's carried it for about 4 years now.I carry the benchmade Arcane with black aluminum grips and S90v stainless blade. I really like this knife
I don't like bulky knives. It's a little on the small side but fits my hand well and is not bulky at allI really wanted to like the Arcane, but it was way too small and slick. It made a great first knife for my oldest daughter when she was 14. She's carried it for about 4 years now.
At least you recognize your addiction , that’s a major step ! Go buy another knife today , no use getting a blade jonesI have a bit of a knife addiction...
When I was getting my kit set up for my flintlock rifle(s) I was buying a different knife every week. I think I have enough laying around that I could skin a diesel locomotive and not have to sharpen one until I got done.
As far as my EDC knife... I carry 2. Both are Chinese POS. I abuse knives doing electrical work and won't carry a nice one. One is some knock-off "trapper" model and the other is a "tactical" OTF... Which is handy as hell when you're up on a ladder and only have one hand free.
One day I'll buy a nice knife to carry.
Mike
I have an even better idea...At least you recognize your addiction , that’s a major step ! Go buy another knife today , no use getting a blade jones

The Sandvik 14C28N stainless blade on mine is one of the best blades I've owned. Holds an edge well and easy to sharpen. Tough rugged knife too. I broke the tip off and reground it and it's even more stabby.

Do you think the extra $20 for the S30V is worth it? I’m seriously considering this knife
i think s30v is worth it. 154cm wears down too fast.
a buy pocket knives for a guy that works for me because we use the shit out of them. gave him one years ago that was 154cm. he sharpened that thing ever other day.
a few months back i gave him a s30v blade and he immediately noticed how much longer the edge retained and is a firm believer now.
It is. Its what the Swiss makes straight razors out of. It's tough, holds an edge and straps up to a razor sharpness after just a few passes on a wetstone.The S30V in the Kershaw is $20 more than their Sandvik 14C28N (not 154cm). I've heard the same thing about the S30v though, but I've also heard Kershaw's 14C28N is phenomenal.
