That’s why I’m shocked at the vitriol over a $300 knife. That is the whole point. For a relatively insignificant budget increase you can return significantly better. On an asset that will last 50 years.
No vitriol.
Its the way campfire “what can i get” threads go.
OP - ive got $ money to spend. What do you recommend?
Ive got $500 to spend on a rifle - campfire - you gotta spend $2k to kill a deer. Ruger anerican is junk
Ive got $500 to spend on a new computer - campfire - you gotta have a $2500 macbook pro
On and on. From boots to packs to knives.
OP asked about what to get for his $150.
Easily doable with factory knives. Custom ? Maybe a nice second hand custom. Which ive bought also.
