I think the price of the SAR4 at $397 plus shipping which is the same as the HG55 LE needs to be reviewed with the prices for comparable INFI knives size wise on the secondary market....the BAIII, the Tanker A, the SHBA, these knives are fetching around $700 on the secondary market...and compared directly to the HG55 LE it has more machining on the rounded spine and is only .5 inch smaller blade.
But the blade has advantages for me over the HG55 LE in that it is .22 thick and not .25 so it is lighter and more suitable for all round use....and whilst I would agree an INFI S5 LE would be more attractive size and shape wise...I am unsure that getting INFI cleared will happen...but if so and if Dan can bring it at the price indicated it will be a very sought after knife...maybe the most sought after ever...so competition for them will be pretty intense...flippers will be very interested I am sure and because it is an LE there could well be a lot of people missing out...so a SAR4 is a hard one to pass on if like me you have wanted an INFI RMD style knife for a good while...but I agree that prices are getting noticeably high...although still cheaper than buying an old classic INFI blade of similar size.
