In reply to jasmine torres. I really don't mind either. If something's too much, don't buy it. Let the market decide.

I’m not into high dollar knives and I don’t feel bad about it when there are a slew of very good, well made, reasonably price blades made of good materials and good steel.

[…] all, you’ve likely seen the Provoke, but maybe not with that name or from CRKT. How about the Caswell Morphing Karambit? Yup, the knife first seen in the highly successful Kickstarter campaign was picked up by CRKT for […]

While I admire the creator’s ingenuity, the explanation is a poor excuse for the price. Naturally, as a limited production item and being a new company just getting started, costs can be high. The materials although impressive are really not necessary for most of us.
People scoffed at Gerber for using 440 steel, yet they have been very successful with their LMF2 which later brought about the Prodigy and the Strongarm. All of these knives are very durable.
I’m not into high dollar knives and I don’t feel bad about it when there are a slew of very good, well made, reasonably price blades made of good materials and good steel. Even a $400 blade can break or rust. And those who make blades know that the material isn’t as important as the heat treatment. The “super steels” are nice, but they costs more to work with and that extra costs ends up added to the price. The knife won’t be reduced to junk or by any means be inferior as long as the quality of manufacture is high and the finished product is smooth and reliable functioning.
I do think once this karambit (Not pronounced karombit- sounds like Bart Simpson saying Caramba!) design becomes licensed or public domain so to speak, then it will be available to more people and it will be yet another choice for knife users to enjoy. I doubt that at $400 or more that the sales will be as high. That’s a lot of money for EMT’s, fireman and police officers or anyone in the military. And for many civilians it’s a hard sell, no matter how much they might want one.
