Talk Me Out of Buying This Knife

[dreadpirate]

I carry a G10 Native 5 whenever I'm not carrying my Caly 3.5. Native 5 is a fantastic knife. You won't regret it.

Yes, I already have a light weight Native 5 (FRN handles) - but what the heck.

$200 for a pocket knife?

This!!!!!!! Why? My eBay/fake gerber, will cut just as easy, and it cost me $18.

No, that pot metal POS will not perform the same, or stay as sharp as a Spyderco.

OP, you should definitely buy a sprint run Spyderco.

I had an opportunity to buy od and black waved endura 4 that was a sprint run for bayou shooters. Didn't do it and I still have trouble sleeping. Buy the knife!

Side note, I was on the constellation cv64. What a rust bucket, I miss it every day.

True, but when it gets dull, I'll buy another POS for $18.

Add the cost of a large pizza to that, and you could have a really nice knife instead.

Sometimes the extras make a difference, even if the end result is the same. Contemplate the difference between a handful of KY and an evening with, say, Kate Upton.

I think all "expensive" knives are overpriced, but the market seems to bare it. I have a Lion Steel folder that cost me a prerty penny, but it's a beast and I enjoy it. If you want it and have the means, go for it.

I thought we were supposed to be talking the OP OUT of buying these knives.

His lips tell me "no no" but there's "yes yes" in his eyes.

That's more than I can spend on a pocket knife now that I'm retired (too hard to hide the expenditure from the wife) but if you've got it, take the plunge!

Dangit. I got the bug to get another carry-around blade from this thread. Found some at Woot: http://www.woot.com/offers/kershaw-blur-red-black-serrated but they sold out before I could make up my mind. I like Kershaws, I have a few for EDC blades. Gonna keep an eye on Woot, that was a nice deal...

I'll sell you my Blackout - it's in excellent condition.

Good choice

this knife gives me a chubby

This looks like a more practical use blade and Bohler steel is highly rated, ZT makes some very nice knives also.
