BladeHQ has a slew of these for $5 more if anybody wants a different color and/or doesn't want to wait a month to get the knife. Just another option.

wiemerimerSo, here we go. (should've looked here earlier, but just got home and had time to sit down and really dig into this a bit)
Here's a link to the whole line at BladeHQ: https://www.bladehq.com/cat--Nagao-Higonokami--1950
The "fancy" hero shot of the black knife here at MD is a shot of the Shirogami (white) steel version... A $90-100 knife. (based on comparing the kanji on the handles)
The other pics here could either be the Aogami (blue) steel, or the SK (cheaper tool steel). So, benefit of the doubt, the description here of this being the blue steel version is likely correct. In which case the price is okay, but nothing exceptional. (but not comparable to the $15-20 versions linked to Amazon)
But still, fucked up that they're advertising with the white steel picture.
It is getting to be REAL frustrating that the members around here seem to do more fact checking than the staff ever do. It's getting to be beyond just bordering on false advertising in some cases.

KavikThose with brains shouldn't be buying from this site, just using it to see what's out there. I have yet to find a price on this website that is the absolute cheapest out there.
Besides the massdrop branded stuff, but, I've yet to be impressed by any of it.

MeastyI've found a fair amount, outside the exclusive stuff Bestech and Kizer being the two biggest
But yes, I know enough to know to check around on prices. But big difference between having to compare prices and having to verify what the product even is

Exactly the same model of the black one as on this site.
