Has there ever been anything more cringe?
>>28432744
Yes. I've seen a lot worse
>>28432744
There are 2 knife threads up, did this really need to be its own thing? Were you worried you wouldn't get as much karma if you didn't make a thread?
>>28432759
pls share

Can a knife fag explain to me why this is worth 16k?
>>28432857
It's worth 16k because idiots are willing to pay 16k for it. I can't see anything in that knife's materials that warrant such a price, regardless of the labor that went into it.
>>28432857
It is seen by some as a work of art.
>>28432893
>It's worth 16k because idiots are willing to pay 16k for it.
So that's why CR sebenzas are so expensive.
>>28432915
I get that, but 16k worth of art?
>>28432915
Looks ugly af to me
Pic related for knives that look good and perform well
I'm not carrying some carbon damascus steel and ball bearing pivot shit. A knife is a tool for cutting. The highest level of """"art"""" is in the highest performance
>>28432941
Precisely.
They're nice EDC knives, but I feel that you either have to be a sucker or an engineering junkie to pay that price tag for a Sebenza, especially when there are comparable or better Ti framelocks (performance-wise) for less.

Holy fuck, $500 for something who's primary purpose will be riding in 5.11 pants and opening boxes?
>>28433046
I strongly disagree.
I'm not a CRK fan, but at least the design is a relatively simple and practical EDC without all of that gaudy bullshit on the OP's pic.
It's still a pretentious knife, though.
>>28432960
>engineering junkie
The truth is that Sebenza-fags are on suicide watch.

I guarantee there is upwards of 200 hours of meticulous as fuck labor involved in the creation of this ugly knife. As an amateur knife maker I make about 50 cents an hour per knife, so can be a little jelly at that, despite not caring for the over the top finishing on this one
>>28433225
.50/hr Are you serious? That's awful.
>>28433225
Try 50 or 60.. if that. Linerlocks don't take that much time. The extra time to finish the damascus and carbon fiber takes maybe 20 extra hours, tops.
>>28432744
If someone stabbed me with that I would die of embarrassment rather than blood loss.
>>28432744
It is beautiful but... wtf 16k? fucking fetishist level
>>28433402
They literally said they were getting hard thinking about holding it. Confirmed fetishists.
>>28433244
sounds like he is self employed
so when you have shit output you have shit pay
>>28433072
The type of person who buys crk typically does not wear 5.11 nor is a tactical person. You want to see the type of knife the tactical guys buy? Hinderers, Medford, Strider, Grayman.
>>28433555
...with each being gayer than the last.
Actually, Strider is the gayest.
Just buy a fucking Benchmade. Sebenzas are shit teir 400 overpriced gutter trash. Or buy an Ontario rat 1. You want a good fucking knife for 30 bucks? Ontario rat 1. Literally the only knife you'll ever need. I bought the rat 1 and the only reason I bought more knives is because I wanted to.
>>28433466
What percentage of /k/ would yall venture is a gun fetishist?
>>28433946
42%
>>28432744
so... CS:GO irl?
>>28433912
I dunno, when I had the chance to handle one it felt sturdy as fuck. Not a fan of liner lock though, I'm more of a lockback guy
Benchmade knives are definitely quality, but don't feel quite as sturdy or long lasting, and their funky locking mechanism is not great
>>28434223
Sounds like you, like me, would appreciate the Buck 110. It's a classic design for a reason.
>>28433912
I wish the Rat 1 was a lockback; I'd definitely buy one then.
>>28433225
I can appreciate the labor involved, but I'm still not spending $16k on a knife. You can get awesome customs for $100 or less if you know where to look.
Keep doing what you're doing, it's people like you that improve the knife industry.
>>28434223
>their funky locking mechanism is not great
You're a fucking idiot

Nope. Todd is a good bud of mine. We all have things we spend lots of money on; why are you salty he has more money to spend?
>>28432948
Hey paintings sell for millions. Do you think the paint materials cost anywhere near that much?

Pic related sold for $5500. Try to wrap your fucking mind around that.
>>28435271
Pic related.
>>28435271
>>28435292
None of those gear items were originally sold at those prices. The knife in your pic sells for $800 direct from the maker. It's only the retarded faggots that participate in the marking up and buying of these for thousands more than they're worth.
rate my custom gold class benchmade that cost exactly like a blue class benchmade, one of a kind
>>28435292
What's up with those random holes in the handle?
>>28433555
>grayman
Looks really nice but also overpriced
>hinderers
Meh, nice quality but not a fan
>strider, medford
Literally what the fuck
>>28435843
Nigger thats a griptillian
>>28435945
yes, it is, a gold class custom griptilian for the price of a regular one
>>28432954
Some people are practical and value function over form. Others love aesthetics. I see you're the former while the subjects of OP are clearly the latter.
>>28435990
If you think this shit is 'aesthetic' I have news for you.
