i was very pleased with the price of the CG NMFBM and i think it was way cheaper than what anybody thought.

there was a specific post before we knew the price asking everyone to guess how much they thought it would cost and it ended up being much cheaper than anyones guess.i was afraid of what the "melt down" effect would do to the price.

why was the LE so much more????......i dont know but neither does anyone else except those involved in its production.

i give jerry more credit than to really criticize the price.i trust jerry,relatively speaking,not to try and milk us just for the sake of greed.we arent knife makers and may not understand all that goes into the production of any particular piece and even if we are knife makers we werent involved in the making of this one.

while my interest in knives leaves me curious regarding the production process to cost ratio between the CG & LE NMFBM or any knife for that matter,i trust that there is a real and honest reason behind the difference between the CG & LE version here.

and while i understand jerry is running a business and wants,likes and needs money like everyone else and that he is a genius when it comes to marketing he has done too much,gone to far out of his way and become too close with his fans/customers to just rape us on a price for no good reason.

of coarse all of this is just imho.
