Except Cadillac is 99% Chevy underneath and has been for well over half a century.Good Question... Similar to why a Cadillac is more expensive then a Chevy or why a Brand name drug is more expensive than a generic drug....
Near $600 for the Chris Reeves is for people with more money then sense.
My daily carry will do 99.9% what that CR will...minus the impress the gear queers part. Cost me $10 and I have spares but this one has been going strong for over a decade. It's been doing so well, I actually gave three of my spares as gifts a year ago.
Only thing I did was remove the redundant thumb stud and now there is nothing to snag or scratch my hand as it sits clipped to my front pocket.
