Dan needs to be careful breaking the $200 'ceiling' even for that monster.. The thing about yard is 'bang for the buck'- any more than $189.99 to $199.99 would be pushing it imho.
Since nobody guessed $229.95 on the last poll, that must be the answer! He had to hire Samurai sword polishers, the laid off Camillus workers wanted health care benefits, and their Union scale is high. The Chinese offered do the whole knife for $40.00 wholesale, but in 420J2. Nah! I am just guessing that since it is taking a lot of hand finishing, the price might break the $200 ceiling.
