How long will it be before the price goes up on Amazon? They have a dynamic pricing structure, so a spike in hits on a particular item should raise the price on Amazon. And now that it's been mentioned that the price is lower on Amazon, there should be a spike in hits for this knife over there.
Can someone mention when the price on Amazon is no longer lower than the low drop price here?
Again, it's an experiment. And maybe why the lower price on Amazon is not necessarily a factor for the value proposition of Massdrop's pricing. I'm interested, myself, because I rarely ever see the low price on Amazon after someone's mentioned it. And when I do, it seems to be when I check Amazon fairly shortly after someone's posted about the lower Amazon price (before a spike in hits, perhaps).
But to comment on this knife, it really is a classic, it seems. I have one, and it's a good knife.
The aftermarket micarta scales are a good upgrade, though there's an edge on the micarta where the contour CNCing on the sides meets the flat part of the blank that form to top and bottom surfaces of the scales. It would have been better if that edge had been smoothed off.
I do have to mention that despite how good a knife it is, it is actually smaller and lighter than I had expected. The handle feels quite slim in the hand, even though it is contoured.
This might throw some people who might have been expecting a chunky feeling knife, more in line with the BK-2.
But it's a very solid bushcraft-type knife, for sure!
Comparing ANYTHING other than a full-on machete or sword to the BK-21 is a rather unfair comparison, though.
