Shocking low or high? It is the new Elmax people have been asking for.

Also the Cat and Chicago are making a comeback. I'd really like the Butch Vallonton, but it seems a bit on the pricey side, I'll have to think about it.

Some other store, who swore they had proper pricing on the Lionspy was listing it for pre-order for around $300. Maybe the price is a mistake from Knifecenter.

Hopefully they will honor it when they come in...

I wasn't going to order one, but at that price, why not?

I'm really excited for the new Cat. Seems like a really neat little knife.

Well on the Lionspy it does say the list is $249 and that price is similar to the rest for the savings off MSRP. I think I'm more shocked by the Manbug price, $76.95? Really?

Yeah, if it arrives at stores and is that price, I will definitely be getting one.

Whoa, can't believe the LionSpy is cheaper than the Valloton. There might be one of those in my future after all. Although I don't see a Yo 2 or Tuff up there :(

The DPX HESTF, made by Lion Steel, sells for about $175 and is similar in materials (i.e., they're both half G10, half Ti framelocks), so since that was a new design and the Lionspy is a recreation of the SR1, it isn't surprising to find the Lionspy a bit cheaper, in my estimation anyway.

As for the Vallotton, I think we'll see it around the $175 mark once it hits other stores. (I'd still get it at $192, though; it looks to be a great knife.)

The Lion Spy has just surged up my list. and you only have to do one scale to customize it.

Yeah, I'm a bit surprised by the price of the Manbug, esp since I just bought a ZDP-189 ladybug for only $32. I really liked the blue G-10 prototype, but I'm not crazy about the gray.

The Manbug price was a deal-breaker for me. I had this one on pre-order until I saw that. That's more than I would spend for how I would use this knife. To each their pain threshold when it comes to buying knives...

Good point. And you can get a zdp Dragonfly for $60 ($17 less then a Manbug)

The MSRP is $499.95. As always, we don't price any of our knives based upon what we think the market will bear, but rather upon the cost of materials, labor, etc.

One difference between the collaboration model and the SR-1 is the steel. Sleipner steel (used in the SR-1) is a tool steel. Elmax is a powdered steel (more expensive).

Chris H is correct, the Euro to US Dollar relationship also impacts the final price.
