Re: Upping the price.

As it happens I had the chance to use a friends Coldsteel Bushranger yesterday - was blown away by its ergos and how solid feeling it was, yet the hollow performed very well cutting through green wood. It wasn’t a new knife but could tell immediately the worksmanship was there. - As we all know, Ta...

Re: Upping the price.

I’m a Spyderco fanboy but I see some of what other companies are offering and the quality they are now achieving. Hi Bloody Fingerz, Could you elaborate more on that? What are the other companies of which you speak and what are they doing? sal https://i.imgur.com/QlFELoz.jpeg Except it’s not just C...
