for 220 bucks msrp i think ill just pick up another s5LE That's what I mean. Does anyone know why they(darkops) are priced so high? For the same reason some people put $10k worth of speakers, wings, wheels, and fartbox mufflers on a used $8k honda civic <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Dark Ops Knives are made from a proprietary hybrid alloy of Chromium, Cobalt, Tungsten, Vanadium, and Molybdenum with surgical grade stainless steel! CTV2 offers both strength and edge holding ability that is unrivaled! Zone selective cryogenic hardening allows for medical grade edge sharpness while avoiding the brittleness of high Rockwell hardness...
In other words a market ploy.

The description of the steel sounds like no more of a marketing ploy than INFI or SR-101. The designs of the knives, on the other hand.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Awesome.
It seems like Dark Ops set its price point high in order to capture the pricey armchair ninja market. The saying, "You get what you pay for." but in reverse? I am sure most who have them probably love them and truly appreciate the designs.

well honestly if the dorkops are machines instead of pressed like that then i can see it....also almost every steel alloy on the market has a mixture of those... also i cant really say i have ever in my life or in a lab seen surgical stainless steel.... seen plenty of stainless steel there but nothing surgical.... i think surgical is more to the type of instriment then the metal

Noss is nuts, been seeing his videos for a while, i just think blade on blade would be a fun thing to see. Knifetests / Noss is why I am here. I love the Reeve Sebenza and heard that some of fixed blades were being discontinued. Was able to pick a Project1 NIB at $100 under cost. Always loved the looks of that knife. Felt pretty nice in the hand and heard decent things about it from those who had one. Thought it would make a good user... until I later saw the test. Call it fate, but it led me here. Now I'm gettin' me some REAL STEEL !

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/chill.gif" alt="" /> The moral of the sarcasm in my post was to NOT poke fun at some stereotype. There are a few different kinds of people here with different ideas, traditions, etc., etc. Some here just like to sling mud at stereotypes. I see no reason for it, but each one will do as he/she wants. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
