Product Description

Designed by custom knifemaker Dustin Turpin, the Strife is equally lightweight and sturdy. While the handle measures a hardy 5.5 inches long and more than 1 inch wide, it’s made of 3D milled carbon fiber and features a Linerlock, plus skeletonized titanium liners, to cut down on weight Read More

How come I never see a Chris Reeve drop? Is the company unwilling or something? No offense to Brous, but I think for the money, a lot more people would be interested in a Sebenza, Inkosi, or Mnandi... But it's just Brous after Brous after Brous...

starterI'd be on board for a Chris Reeves drop. I'd have to apply for a permit here, but collector knives are an ideal candidate for an import permit. Although my dream knife is a Todd Begg Bodega. For these knife companies that only open their books a few times a year. I wonder if they could just use Massdrop and outsource the ordering?

Thanks to everyone commenting on why these are so expensive. I came here to ask the same question out of curiosity, not to troll. Glad to see some good answers.

ok anyone making a $400 knife just stop, it's a knife, you use it and it cuts things, anything over $200 imo is just toooo muuuuch, if you can only buy 2 knives a year because they cost as much as a used car that's boring

JohnRobertNot only do I enjoy custom knives, I've also spent more than 200 dollars in a knife recently. Actually twice or thrice in the last six months. Therefore what you're saying is incorrect - as I'm living proof. We're all entitled to opinions though, but you can only speak for yourself.
That being said, I'd pay 150 bucks (maybe 200) max for this. The quality is just not there.

JohnRobertWhat a stupid argument, you may as well email Porsche and say "you should stop making cars because my 1997 Corolla works just fine". Also not everyone would only be able to buy two knives at this price a year, I know many people who can easily spend thousands on knives each year.

Man I don't usually come look at knife drops, but what makes this knife so special to give it an MSRP of $480? I mean even at the max isn't carbon fiber only $20/lb?

These knives are not custom and are mid techs at best as the materials are all pre-cut for him, I dont even know if he still grinds the blades himself like the original reloaders as I find it hard to believe he can hand grind these blades and churn out as many as he does. The most that I know he does is just putting the knives together, setting the lock and setting the detent, which dont get me wrong is a skill in itself and is fairly hard to do. It's just not enough work to warrant the title of a "custom knife"

My comment was more to address the general argument of why knives can cost so much. I haven't handled this specific Brous before, but I have a Silent Soldier and the fit and finish is excellent. As for the numbering, Brous has done that a few times so far as far as I'm aware, I'm guessing he releases the initial run to gauge the interest in the design. Then after he's done that, he can produce more or start working on variants, like he did with the Silent Soldier and VR-71. I personally think this price makes more sense than the $480+ the Strifes originally went for.
