i guessed $219.95
iirc.. Unsub (or was it ugug?) worked it out that..
$89.95 S6 -> $139.95 S6LE, was like +55.6%
so $139.95 DF +55.6% = ~$217.74 DFLE
But if Dan does it for less.. BONUS!!
i would imagine it's much more work.. all that polishing!
I'm polishing some bare Infi right now.. and it's a pain in the Butt!
i've stopped.. maybe i'll find some more patience later..
So Next knife.. i think i'll Buy it all polished up rather than try myself!

I'm hoping for $189 but what ever it is I'll probably get at least one.

Crazy Dan's Dumpster Blowout!!! ONLY $169.99 for the Dogs who deserve the best. Dan and Patti will deliver the best at a ridiculous price!

I prefer ResC by far on a user but it is not the best looking stuff in the world.
A Custom maker needs to charge about 100$ an hour to make it worth it financially and I could not see it being much less for Dan. I am all for Dan making a few extra bucks on the LE models so he can give a better price on the users. They are going to be at least 400$ on BF so why shouldn't Dan get a bigger percentage than some speculator.

Whatever price for the LE will be, I'll bite.

His thing is high performance knives at crazy low prices. Who here thought the Dumpster Mutt was going to be $69.95? I was expecting half that again! I don't know what to really expect, but I think a lot of us will once again be surprised and/or shocked at the price Dan offers the LE at.

That's what were counting on. Dan has done a great job of keeping us surprised and happy dogs.

I think you guys are underestimating a bit. I guessed 219$ because it is going to take a lot of work and there not the need to provide people with the best user. Most of these will probably end up as safe queens. There will also be a limited amount. When you look at how much more a S6LE was than the S6CG. Look what a FBMLE costs! I love RES C but I could see micarta or even wood for handle material on the LE models someday. I just love the look and durablity of micarta. And rubber handles are just not much to look at, but they sure feel good. If the LE had micarta scales, it would be fine with me. I have big black DF for use, anyway.

Does anyone know how much more if any, it costs to use micarta?

Every commercial knife I know of that has micarta seems to cost a bit more than comparable models with rubber handles. What ever Dan does with the LEs, I hope he keeps the Res C for the user models, especially the big choppers.

It spoils you.
