I don't think that there is any doubt that the new S5LE is the finest midsized knife SYKCO has ever made. And the dogs in the yard asked for it. But it cost more than a Ratmandu. What will it do that the CG version won't do? Once SYKCO knives start going for over $200 delivered, they are in Swamp Rat price range. Granted, the S5LE is a special knife. INFI is a great steel, but it costs a lot more for that little extra in performance over SR101. I would have been quite happy with the LE in 154CM if it costs closer to $100 than $200. But the knives sold out and Dan's gamble paid off. The mystique of INFI is a powerful thing. I just hope that future Scrappers are back down in the more affordable range. I am reeling from the sticker shock of some of the recent Busses like the SAR4 and the SAR8. Just my two cents.
