I just can't justify the price compared to the materials used. I'm always intrigued by the different Tops Knives, and they look to be good quality, but why would I spend nearly $100 for a neck knife when I could buy a KABAR B(east)K7 for less than $75? I use the BK7 for comparison since it's the same blade steel, comes from a well known brand with a long history of quality, and both are marketed as a survival knife.
Are there any folks on here with experience with Tops and other brands that could convince me this isn't a grossly overpriced knife?
planb10113I'm very much in the same boat
Just saw an interesting video discussing the cost of their knives (price talk starts at 03:30)
I didn't realize just how much on each of these knives are actually done by hand.
Including sheaths being individually made to each knife for the best fit, which surprised me the most
Plus differential heat treated
