^^^^^^ we are all wondering what's up. There price jump on the 511 was also shocking. We need to start a thread and ask Dan to answer
.... I don't thik Dan needs to answer anything mate, nor is it really our business, if the knives are too expensive they wont sell but other than that it is a business decision and one, I would suggest, based around increases in base material and other imput prices. None of he Busse Co has had notable price rises in the past few years (though the model they use make this harder to watch however the RMD has been around long enough to see) and like any operation costs very very rarely go down.
