I put 500.00 for fixed blade and 300.00 for folder. In reality I may spend more or less depending on the knife and its value to me. So for me personally there really is no limit.

Some on here have no problem paying hundreds and hundreds for a Busse FBM with all the trimmings. I won't. However, some might scoff at me for wanting to plunk down 250.00 to 300.00 for a Chris Reeve Mountaineer II. It's all about the value to you that matters.
