>>653945Fuck sake, do you really not understand supply and demand? When you buy a good knife, you generally have it forever, its a one time buy. Thats why they have to make producing knives worthwhile. If for example i could get a benchmade for $10 then have it forever, then that $10 is all benchmade will ever get out of me while i get a lifetime of use from their product.
If for example knives were a consumable item, lets say they last a month then they break or whatever, then they could charge a price much closer to the cost of manufacture because we'd be buying another knife every month anyway.
You know what else costs absolutely nothing to make? TVs and sunglasses, the companies making them will die pretty quickly though if they charge you a few dollars for something you'll buy once every 5 to 10 years though
