How about you quit pissing and moaning about prices, and just buy a six dollar beater on fleabay ?

All I saying is that you have to look around. You can get quality knives made with good materials, but you can also pay the same price for a piece of junk.I've always liked spyderco, they seem to be priced fairly

I have heard your argument before, listened to it all the time. His argument was he wanted really good knives but could not afford them. but he could afford a Harbor Freight belt sander and a very Cheap band saw. a few years later (12) he had honed his skills and now is very proficient at his job.

Moral of Story: if you don't have a plan to fix it or a way then stop complaining about it.
