How much would I pay for a DFLE with fat micarta scales? About $250 to $300. What's a FBMLE sell for?
I understand your point, Vic. But it continues to lead me back to Dan's stated goal of producing the best performing knives at the lowest possible prices. If he extends that philosophy to the DFLE as he did with the S6LE, then micarta is simply out of the question.
Oh, I know. The DFLE will be a satin version of the one I have. I'm just saying that I would LIKE one with fat micarta scales, just so it would be pretty. There is no doubt that Res C is a superior user handle and much cheaper to make. I hope he never quits making res C handles.
