    You're moaning about $60USD for a knife but are happy as to pay the asking price for AI's and PMII's??

    You are a seriously weird dude.

    NOT TOO weird , as all my AIs have been , direct from UK , and PMIIs on special out of the US , and to ME , their is some WORK in making complex things , ie firearms & scopes etc , and I am prepared to PAY for them .

    As to simple items , like fixed blades , I see no point in paying stupid / crazy prices , as they are SIMPLE & not COMPLEX , so YEAH , I am WEIRD .

    Later Chris

    Knives come in the (simple) Savage Axis equivelent right through to the (complex) custom Blaser equivelent. You choose your purpose, and make your choice.

    Does the same thing happen in the knife world where no one wants to admit a savage axis kills a deer as dead as a blaser does?

    I don't know about NZ knife suppliers , but here in OZ the service and prices are just stupid . I'm all for supporting local businesses but there is a point when that attitude changes from community conscience to just plain I'm really happy to throw my money at people who don't give a shit and are actually taking the piss out of me with their prices .
    I haven't bought a new knife locally in a long time , I mostly buy from the USA and the communication , service , pricing makes Australia look like thieves and liars .

    Took my own advice, went and visited the Svord forge the other day and walked away with two great locally made kniives for a hundy, reviews to follow once I have used them a little more, currently they are en route to HGD for a new double sheath combo, which may end up doubling the cost but at least the money is staying in NZ...
