I was waiting for this thread to pop with, followed by the "how fast will the MPLE sell out?".

Magnum, I agree and disagree with you.

I agree with you with that 154cm is a generic steel, res-c is cheaper, and the numbered knives to increase price (I'd prefer the knife w/o the numbers).

I disagree that you aren't getting a high class knife. I think the swarden and DM are great, but how are they higher class? With the exception of the steel, I'd say they are pretty close. Plus you need to take into consideration that since the DMCG days, cost of everything has risen pretty dramatically. But I do see where you are coming from. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I picked 79-89, but after thinking about it, I'd say 59-69.
