1. Labor is cheaper in El Salvador and China.
2. SK5 and 1075 are cheaper than SR77, SR101, or INFI.
Check out the price of the Cold Steel Kukri in San Mai. Not as high as INFI, but pretty pricey.
Yeah I hear ya there Vic but I bet Dan could still pull one in at the price point I mentioned, that is roughly 6 to 8 times more expensive than the El Salvador/China ones...surely the steel/labour costs wouldn't exceed that ?
I also think 3/16" stock would be better than the Killa Zilla's so that would also help bring a Yard version down in cost.
