    Do you like it?

    If you're happy with it, you got a good deal. If you're not happy with it, you didn't.
    If you're very concerned about what others think about the price of something and whether you're paying "too much" - ask before you buy and save yourself a lot of fretting.

    price wise it looks a good deal but as Rick says if its not what you want then paying even $1 for it is a bad deal.

    Thumbs up

    I'm a knife collector, and I think you did alright.

    Remember that titanium is *softer* than most stainless, so when you sharpen it, do so carefully.

    They are nice 'cuz they don't rust. But some types dull very fast...depends on the alloy and manufacturing technique.

    My new dive knife is a Benchmade.
