Occasionally I run across something that just resonates with me, what do you think?

That's very nice!
I'd like to see one with the EGA carved into the handle surrounded by some simple rope detailing.

Nice.

Nice, but pricey. I'm sure it's worth the money but I dont have that kind of cash for an accessory.

Such customs were nonsense anyhow, foolishment from old women - there was no such thing as "dangerous weapons," only dangerous people.

It's a nice bit of kit, and not over priced at all, IMO. The piece of gabon ebony is hard to come by and expensive nowdays, and twist pattern steel, even from the cheap place in India is spendy. And it is all one guys hand work, as in "sole authorship". I would surmise that he also cast the silver insignia, and fabricated the mounts. He is not going to retire to the Bahamas any time soon.

That's a nice bit of kit. His profit margin on that one wont be all that great, especially if he counts his time as worth anything.

Ooh rah. I'm no Johnny Jarhead, but "sweet kit" is the perfect description for that. Anyone care to bet it takes a nice edge?

Oh I agree, I dont think it is overpriced. The fact that is is expensive really cant be disputed much though. Quality costs, and that looks like you get what you pay for.
