My most expensive knife to date is a Ferrum Forge Allurus in 20cv, Titanium and Marble Carbon fiber. $300.00. A grail knife for me. Been a couple others at $200.00 plus range but most are below $100.00. Glad you were able to score something you really wanted Ken. Good video. Thanks

$300 was a price ceiling for me for so long. Most of the ones in this series cost me less than $300 because I found a deal, but they are all normally above.

I remember mentioning that sale on the S45 in Beez. I actually have that knife (same motif too), but I got it in a very different way… a very generous and low key guy who hangs out in a couple of the smaller lives I do and I had gotten to know a little bit agreed to trade that knife for a discontinued knife I had along with a couple others I wanted to give him. Cool that we have the same knife though. 👍 thanks for the video, Ken. No guarantee, but if I get time I’d like to try to get a couple small strops made for you to include (I’m low on leather). Of course it’s up to you.

I couldn't remember who it was that mentioned it (my memory, you know 🥴). I can't thank you enough for being such a great help for this success story! Funny, I picked tgat same design, though. It is very nice! I would greatly appreciate strops from you. They would be great to add to any giveaway. No rush, I plan to do many GAWS this year regardless of sub counts. I am feeling blessed and want to pass it on to others.
