You can buy a perfectly fine and decent Mora knife for 10 USD.
You cannot get a high end Swedish knife for 10 usd.
wtf is a "high end" knife? it's a bit of sharp metal with a handle, what could you possibly do to make it better?
@Swedneck @Frostbeard generally speaking the type of blade steel and the the materials used to make the handle. after that, the quality control of the heat treatment of the blade is actually a significant cost. After that cost to construct the knife can vary based on design requirements. There's a lot of variability which leads to higher or lower costs.
