i don't wanna send a message that i think it would be dishonest or unethical for Dan to charge $100 if he knew the knife would sell at that price. business is about profit, and every company's goal is to maximize revenues and minimize costs.
i'd mark it up. the blame falls on us, not him. that's what happened to swamp rat.
And thats why you see more manufacturing moving overseas to maximize revenue and minimize cost......
Dan has more integrity than that...
It's also goes without saying that he has to stay in business and must price accordingly. To date the pricing for the product is more than resonable......
