They look pretty nice but i dont think they should be priced that high but that is just my opinion.

well..they definitely arent in the price range of gerber knives but also not in the same quality range..... There are a ton of different 1911s floating around out there...some name brands are cheap and others are more expensive

I just dont see this as a 500$ knife

Ya.
I'm not sure why that one is so expensive. i believe it may be because it was a collaborative effort done with William Harsey. There is a write up on him at this link

I like the Nyx for a hunting or combat knife.

It is only $328
The other knives $328 or less

I like the overall shapes to them! I prefer a more contoured handle but thats not to say theirs is a bad handle just personal preference. The kydex sheaths look really nice too.

The handle reminds me of my 'Zaan.

I think I paid more for it, tho.

I could be losing sight on real world knife prices since I make my own now. Lately been making aton of chef and japanese chef knives and man the retail on those in stores is crazy!

I agree 100%. It's the same as Atwood. I see those tiny Atwood EDC "tools" floating around for $50, $100, $200+, and they are simple titanium bottle openers.

It's hard to beat an ESEE or Becker/Ka-Bar these days, especially with their price point. Customs do interest me and I'm all for supporting the small guys, but $500 for any knife is ridiculous.
