I got really turned off replaceable blade knives hunting antelope in wyoming one year. It was antelope and 1st couple days of deer season (very busy) in the unit I was hunting and almost every gut pile I came across had blades and blade wrappers laying all over the place. I know not everybody does this but it was enough to make me not want to own one.I've watched my buddies fiddle with their replaceable blade knives, trying to get the blade to sit in the mess of a knife and what to do with the old blade.....and old reliable vic just keeps on doing the work while they screw around.

I believe you will like it.Replaceable blades? Damn, I guess I've been away from the scene for too long. Sounds gimmicky, but I'm open minded.
I'm still impressed by how the convex grind on a Bark River changes the way the blade works. One of these days I'll get one in magna-cut and see what the fuss is about.
Ummm, that is how you make knives??? There isn’t some kind of black magic where knives are grown out of molten cauldrons or something.Lots of these “high end” knives are nothing more than a blanks cut into blades and ground down. They slap their label on them and charge the fudds 300+ dollars. (MKC and bark river come to mind).
My point is that these expensive knives arent anything special. Why is a MKC knife 300 dollars?Ummm, that is how you make knives??? There isn’t some kind of black magic where knives are grown out of molten cauldrons or something.
Niche, small batch production, high QC knives made in the USA, with likely a lifetime of support from a company that is local to some and pro-hunting? Custom knifemakers have families that eat too. Nothing wrong with a luxury level knife if that's what people are into. They have many knives that are under $300 for the record.My point is that these expensive knives arent anything special.
