I think I paid 29.95 for mine. It's worked out pretty good. Chops nice and sharpens up pretty easily. I've got no complaints, specially for the price. PLUS I now have a Sacrificial blade so my kin blades don't get all bunged up on rocks and other assorted hard stuff. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
