Talked to Corky after he did the taxes and the first thing he said was "I think I have made my last knife." Seems account and inventory are down $5000 from last year. We spent 3 days looking at actual costs and here are the findings.
The new discounted prices are:
Elk--$150
Boner--$160
Proskinner--$160
Butcher--$160
Mod. Buffalo Skinner--$165
Trapper set--$150 singles--$80(flaps $5/sheath and tooling $5 extra/ sheath on trappers only)
Paring-- $50 w/oak stand
Kitchen set--$330
We appreciate the business and try to take care of our clients. We try to produce a product that has no equal anywhere. In the past 18 months, we have changed the receipe and gained another Rc. Average is 64 now. We have not set a date for the new prices yet and some may still change. But we are far enough along to give you a heads up.
Yes, an RMEF representative did 9 elk with the curved skinner last year w/o sharpening. Yes, you do have to relearn how to use a knife. Yes, we do redefine the word "sharp". Yes, most of the inventory is back up so that orders are usually shipped within a week. Any questions, please call or email.
Thanks again.......Dave
