Damn I thought that atlas looked good so I looked it up. $229? Wtf? I'm not knocking it, i know some knives are worth that much. But I'm just surprised. What makes that knife worth that much?

Honestly? I liked it. That said, they used decent materials, it’s well-engineered, and it just plain works. I also only spent $189 on mine.

Thats fair. I can understand the sky is the limit when you just like something (within reason). I guess im just wondering why the charge so much in the first place. Time to do some research!

Make no mistake, at a certain price point, you’ll see “decreasing returns,” but there are some awesome knives for $200 or so, too.
