That I can understand due to Bill's fame but $700 for this knife is nuts you can buy a Helle knife for $50 which will be just as good as this one. I guess it's due to Wilkinson going out of business. I think the maker is still around and he can make you a new one for less than $700.

Odd, I would had thought that having rivets on the handle would be detrimental for a utility knife like this, as the metal would eventually rub against your hand causing blisters?

The rivets are flush so there would be no rubbing.
