>>1196461after a certain point you don't gain anything by spending more money...you are just paying for a brand. That knife is about 70$ more than it should be, TOPS make world class knives out of 1095 and they can be had for $130-140.
>>1196465Personally I would spend less money and get an equally good knife and put the saving towards something else in my kit. If you want a high end 1095 bushcraft knife than I would check out the Brothers of bushcraft and the Brakimo made by Tops, the are both nice knives. If you have a shit ton of money and don't give a shit what things cost or what they should cost, than I would just get the Slysteel since you obviously have some attraction to it.
