Even with the hype in the way the description is written, you can pick out all the aspects that allow this knife to sell for a lot.

Tall. 250+ length. Heavy. WH grind but still thin BTE. Integral. Bougie handle. It kinda checks all those boxes.

Should it be priced maybe around $800 - $1200 instead? That would probably be more consistent with other western makers who do this kind of work. But Billipps are quite rare and have a unique soul so
