Always happy to share what goes on in the community, especially with what Murat does, he's got a special talent.
So he's personally overseeing this project, ah so one can say it is a limited edition release, gotcha.
Very limited release, I would think. In the world of folding knives, this is a "bench custom", meaning straight from the makers bench. A production pocket knife from a well know bladesmith might cost you $400-$1000. A custom from the man himself can range from $1500-$5k+. Heck, I've seen a couple of $10k knives. I dunno how many employees are at Rocnel, but these MC's will come straight from the source.
Ha! Your friend is a man of good taste. Marfione is a great example. You can get a $500 Microtech Combat Troodon production knife, or a $5000 Marfione custom of the same knife. Anthony built himself a great business off of OTF's. Now his son too.
