I'm gonna guess that whoever posted it accidentally hit the zero one to many times, or something like that.
It is pretty funny though :p

I think I'm out of touch with the knife buying public... I would not have expected a basic looking Ti frame lock with machine finish blade, being sold for used Glock type money, to crash a site that recently had a sprint run of a Para 3 LW with the same steel up for a day or so before it sold out?

It is kind of crazy. I've enjoyed the knife hobby for the past few years. So I get it but it seems like it's getting worse

They're really kicking and stomping on the FB groups! I had a feeling that was going to happen

Flippers and scalpers only exist because they get paid. The problem stops when the buyers stop.

So as it all turns out it was my banks fault I didn’t snag one of these. They decided it was suspicious activity and declined the charge. So lesson learned - call the bank belle the next release to let them know I’m making this purchase. Frustrating!
Same here. And the bank sent a text to my wife saying there was unusual spending. Got totally busted.

Used glocks are $600+ now, so this is a bargain!

From Nick Shabazz's video on this knife, it seems clear that KnifeJoy has confirmed that other runs will be coming, hard to figure why anyone would pay scalper/pirate money for one of these in light of that knowledge.

I had hoped that might be the case but my offer for $400 was just declined. I think they're serious. :rolleyes:

The more I see the more I like the blue. I bet it's like the ivory ss stretch - looks much better in person.

Wow. $400? For fifty dollars more you could get a Large Sebenza! :confused:

I pondered all morning, knowing I didn't actually want this knife...but then I thought, I'm going to try and get one and compare it in quality to my Sebenza and Inkosi and see if I think it's worth $400. Sure enough I lucked out and was able to grab one. I do have to say, I'm interested to hold one in hand after all the raving reviews I've seen over the past few years. Something tells me it won't stack up to the CRK's, though I could be surprised. Will likely end up on the swap page within a few weeks!
