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....
Except Cadillac is 99% Chevy underneath and has been for well over half a century.

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.

I have a little leather pocket sheath and I will often carry these two in my back pocket at work.

I always have a medium-larger folder clipped in my front pocket. And a small single blade trapper down in my pocket. Sometimes I will carry another more "weapon" type knife concealed, sometimes because of where I'm going, but usually just for fun. I have a Cold Steel Ti-Lite stiletto that at some point took up permanent residence in my work coat right pocket. A Lenox utility knife did the same at some point in the left pocket.
So I'm at work one day and it hit me.... "Oh wait.. am I really carrying seven knives? Oh good lord."
(that's also when it hit me that at that moment I had four flashlights on me as well. What an ass.)
Why does cas6969 carry seven knives?

Because carrying eight would be ostentatious…
 
Living on ranch property, there isn’t a day that I go outside without a knife in my pocket or on my side. Can someone share what makes the Chris Reeve knifes expensive. Thanks

What makes an AI more expensive than a Savage?
S&B vs Tasco
Staccato vs Glock vs High Point
Rolex vs Timex

CRKs are really toward the bottom of the high end knife world. They are really simple, really well made and they will last a lifetime.
