Someone explain the price point of this knife. There are comparable models (albeit Chinese) that are way way less than half the price of the MSI and I'm just curious as to the who/what/why/when/how?
Miguron Vatso – M390 + Titanium at $149
Mini MSI – M390MK + Titanium at an eye watering $533

Well lets see
Its made in the USA automatically the price goes up especially titanium
Its blade is typically heat treated better.
Likely has tighter fit and finish tolerances.
More machining on the handle was done.
If your wanting the knife cheaper the aluminum ones are 270$ https://www.bladehq.com/item–Microtech-Standard-Issue-MSI-Mini–228011
The standard model is only 275 tho? Isn’t the one you posted basically a midtech/special edition type of thing
