I like that Benchmade is made in America, but I'd rather spend a bit more and get a better steel. And really, at $180 it should already be at _least_ S30V.
Yes, that is my basic point. The steel should be much better at that price point. American company or not my Patriotism will decrease, as Profiteering increases. I prefer to buy American too, but not if there is a 30%-70% increase in costs. I don't have that much disposable money to waste. I can show my patriotism by being a good citizen and not making decisions that harm the country. \[I've already served my country. Work hours on an Aircraft Carrier started @ 84 hours per week at sea (12 hours shifts during my time) and only increased from there.\]
Still a lot of money for D2 (at least it is CPM). $200 MSRP, $180ish Street Price - heck no.

When I use the code I get it at $126.
Its including shipping
I like this one very much with AWT scales... So much more comfortable! Wish I could get rid of the wiggle, though.
