But is that really worth it? Not saying its a bad knife, sounds like a phenomenal knife really. But for $10 i can get a mediocre knife that i have to sharpen between uses. Meh, if i caught a ton of fish each year and was maybe more skilled at filleting in the first place then it might be a good purchase. I'd guess most people don't get out enough to make that worth it. IMHO.
Worth is difficult to calculate. I mean, it depends on your perspective. I got the LL knife as a Christmas present, so it has both practical and sentimental value. Would I personally spend $100 on a knife? Probably not. Just not that important in the grand scheme of things. But then again there are guy who drop $500 on a rod and another $250 on a reel without batting an eye, so a $100 knife is chump change.
Meh...perspective.
