What am I missing here? Is it a limited run/early edition? That price is really steep for that knife. Is that in US Dollars?

This folding knife is one of the original Applegate Fairbairn Folding knives.
I am the primary designer of this for Col. Rex Applegate, Butch Vallotton helped me with the making of about 150 of these.

All blade grinding, heat treating, sharpening, filing, handle shaping and grooving was done by me.
Butch roughed in each set of parts, I finished.
The blades are 154CM Steel, handles are titanium. Handles scales are micarta.

Every knife was hand delivered by me to Rex Applegate and he sold them from his office. This knife resulted in Gerber making the AF Folders we see today.

I do not participate in the secondary sales market of my work but this is what they sell for when I see them on the market, and it is fairly rare to see them listed for sale.
