I just got the maxace Orion for $170, full titanium and magnacut with amazing fit/finish/action. Obviously Chinese pricing but how USA companies like spyderco and Benchmade should respond to this is by making their products more competitively priced. If Kershaw can figure it out, then so can they
@TheMarmiczАй бұрын
@@HighCRII also prefer USA made,even as non-american. But if you also add that buying the knife outside of USA ads 20%+ to its price, it's no surprise you see these traditional USA brands falling out of favour. At least historically they were better quality than what you could get offshore, but that's no longer true and sometimes even opposite these days.
@MrHayes-cb7hpАй бұрын
Inflation in cost of goods, transportation, manufacturing and the rapid rises in minimum wage are creating wage compression that has to be addressed. Also, US knife makers have very bleak sales forecasts. They aren’t going to sell anywhere near the number of units as the last 4-5 years. They are raising the prices to cover the inflationary factors and the projected downturn in total units sold. 10x Shamans @ $200 is $2000 but if you need 10% year over year sales growth to survive and you know the most you will sell is 8 Shamans then they now cost $275

One difference I noticed is that the spine of the blade protrudes more from the scales up by the pivot when closed on the shaman, whereas on the bodacious the spine is more or less flush. That protrusion can serve as a front flipper on the shaman, which is actually my preferred deployment for the shaman.

Steel composition is some "advanced" knife guy stuff to critique. Most of us won't use our knives hard enough to reach the breaking points on hardness, edge retention and corrosion resistance. But people critique it abyway because they want to know that the knife they have COULD perform at the highest level possible despite the fact that they would never be in those scenarios. BladeHQ has a page on their website that has a simplified chart that shows average steel performance. It is a good baseline to start off from but most metallurgists, such as the genius Larrin Thomas, will say its not accurate enough and there's many variables in the smiting process that affect a steel's true performance. But still its a neat way to visualize what to expect from a certain steel, but don't read it as law, just a loose guideline.

The prices on the Shaman are high because Spyderco has to pay a guy full time to close each knife and document the level of mental anguish he suffered when “THE NUB” touched his finger. Which is why this fancy Nubless design should be cheaper. But it’s not because now they have to pay him workers comp due to a bad case of the Nubbin Finger. Get your facts right.

The Bodacious is amazing. It's a more refined Shaman. Like a sequel to the Shaman. Edit: 20cv is better than s30v and s30v has become the new d2. It's EVERYWHERE. When a company wants to use a steel that's 'high end' they use s30v judt like how brands would use D2 as an upgraded steel from 8cr. I think that's why ppl get annoyed with s30v.

S30V is a great steel to be sure. Honestly I cannot think of a steel that I would feel ok paying this price for. Feels like Spyderco is hedging their bets that the Bodacious will have mass appeal. Given that plus brand loyalty, Spyderco will be able to realize sales at the price they are asking. Has nothing to do with common materials, but name brand star power to make the sales.

There’s definitely some steels I can see being justifiably high, such as damasteel. For example, the weknife vision, when you get it in that steel, goes from like $270 to $600+. However, S30V is by no means in that league of steel.

I've realized that s30v still holds up. people love 20cv but hate s30v. I'd take s30v for a few dollars less. I also realized that while Benchmade overprices a lot of knives. I feel that the $200ish mark for the 940 is fair, given how well it performs and the warranty provided. I would also say that the new 940 in magnacut does not warrant an additional $50ish over the classic.

I really like the overall design! Finger choils are ok, but I prefer more cutting edge for a given blade length, and with a handle design that puts my hand close to the blade without needing a choir. And while I agree that S30V is a decent steel… rated as a SS, decent edge retention, not exactly tough but ok for the average EDC uses. I guess my complaint with it in this case, in regard to price, is that Spyderco themselves offer many knives in arguably better steel choices for significantly LESS money. Even with a superior steel choice, the Bodacious would be overpriced, IMO. But it makes no sense at all to offer a knife with pedestrian materials at a premium knife price. Even in K390, Cruwear, Magnacut, S90V, etc, it would still be seriously overpriced. Lower the price by $100, for this base model, then offer it for still reasonable money with better material options, and it’ll be a winner.

The Shaman is my favorite knife of all (regardless of brand) and I have no issue with S30V (it's a great steel and I'm so old I remember when it was "the new thing" and when, working with Gerber at the time, it was a BIG deal that they were using it on all their Military issue and high-end Portland made knives) but the price is INSANE to me for both the Shaman and the Bodacious for all the actual reasons it's insane (cost of manufacturing/dimensions of materials etc). I _want_ a Bodacious, to me it seems to have some aspects of the Manix (blade stock thickness) in the Shaman-like layout/handle design and THAT is an awesome combo IMO... but Spyderco is going NUTS with these prices like so many other knife companies, seemingly just because they can and because internet hipsters drive the prices up as knives have become like purses/shoes for men. It's ridiculous. Still an awesome looking knife and if it's a variation of the Shaman I know I'd love it's shape/design (and I DO use my knives for heavy things like hunting/backpacking/rafting/Search and Rescue work etc). I'm just hoping they come to their sense on pricing and they give us a K390 variant of both the Shama and the Bodacious and hell... the Manix 2/XL while they're at it. I love K390

I think the price issue is extra frustrating because we HAD good pricing and spiderco was obv making good money, then almost double the original price doesn’t justify the increase in cost of labor. Clearly quite greedy.
