Major and willis, thanks for the information and perspective on this knife. I know it sounds like I was being nosey, and I guess I really was; but the question was meant in seriousness. I was just curious as to what range something like that was in. Now I have an awnser. Really none of my business, as the old say goes..."if you gotta ask, you can't afford it" Was just curious and had the gall to ask as others probably wondered as well. And yes, I know no offense was given by any awnser, and none was taken or inferred. Just gotta say again that it is an awesome piece of blade work. I've been shown some really impressive and expensive examples of knifecraft in the last few years, and this is as good or better than many of them in my sight.
