[QUOTE="randallss7, post: 4033115, member: 24507"] I would say a knife's value to you...is what its value is to you. I make several knives a year hobby level, I kind of stick to what he says on his web site. In my opinion I make a good solid knife from good steel. But I don't get in the habit of dressing it with 500.00 or more worth of fossilized this or that or gold inlay etc, just a good looking practical solid knife. With that said I like to look at those types of knives and I like the art and craft that goes into them. So I was texting a guy I make a lot of knives for, we were talking about Sod Buster style knives, my favorite shape style knife. I was telling him how I'm disappointed with all the over counter versions, all are cheap, that I have found. He sent me a Smith and Sons Mud Bug about a 195.00 to 200.00 knife. For a over the counter sod buster it is head and tails above all in my collection, which is a lot. its D2, it has bronze bushings, no blade play to speak of. in my opinion worth every penny. I carry my own Spotts buster I made for myself, blade Damasteel handle giraffe bone nothing fancy, but it cost me in materials over 200.00 to make, not counting the multiple hours to make it. if you value hand made tools/work of art etc then yes its worth it, if you do not value that, which is perfectly ok, then no. just thinking out loud.
