The major chuck on the cost is all of the CNC milling done on the single piece of Ti.
I bought a Factory 2nd Nirvana a few years ago. It was a really nice knife and the fit was great. For $300 it was worth the price. For $800? not at all... There's a ton of local makers that I'd much rather support with that kinda money.
