Sign up for their rewards/perks and do their ways to earn for an extra $11 off. Hell of a deal
The knife's design, aesthetics, ergonomics, blade steel quality, blade geometry, locking mechanism, ease of deployment, fidget factor / ease of closing, quality of craftsmanship, handle material used, hardware material, ease of sharpening, how long the blade's sharpness lasts before it dulls and you have to sharpen it again, dependability / durability, warranty, country of origin, overall size and weight / how easy it is EDC, all factor into what makes a knife worth $100+, $200+, $300+, and beyond.
I own tons of knives from tons of brands and designers, made in U.S., Taiwan, China, Japan, Italy, Russia, etc. At the end of the day, worth is subjective and knives are just cutting tools. But a high quality knife can last much longer than cheap knives, and they usually look and feel much better.
For anyone wanting the $11 off. I'll explain it further since it wasn't explained well previously. This was all done on PC, not mobile, although I'm sure you can do it there as well. You have to first join the DLT rewards program. Once that is done, add the item to cart. On the cart screen there will be an icon on the bottom left of the screen that reads DLT rewards, click it. This will bring up a small menu. You then need to click on the tasks listed, sharing or following on various social media sites to earn the required amount of points necessary to get the $11 off. You have to have a minimum of 800 points to redeem for cash off. The initial sign up nets you 500 points with the rest coming from the tasks listed above. Enjoy your $11 off!

Autos are illegal in many states. A folding knife that falls open without need to be pushed open is also classified as a switchblade and is therefore illegal.
Not in my state. Legal to own, legal to carry. (Maryland)
Autos suck! Why the hell would you want an auto that you need two hands to close when you can flip this thing open and shut about as fast as you can open an auto………with one hand.
True(ish) - but my EDC is an out the front auto (auto open, auto close).
Do people buy these to put in their display cases? Fancy steel that never needs sharpening because it never gets used?
No, these are just EDC knives that you actively use in the field albeit this has with nicer materials. The "safe queens" are customs that are produced by designers that costs thousands of dollars each, For example, like Jared Oeser's F-22 customs that are $2500+ or a Benchmade gold class Infidel ($10k+ if you can find one).

$10k for folding knife jewelery lol. Might as well get a matching purse with it.
Fool and his money and all that I suppose. All for people with more money than sense to spend it on frivolous stuff.
American made autos are usually $250+, a lot more with special steel blades like S90V. I recently bought a Hogue Counter Strike with carbon fiber scales and Magnacut blade for $340 and thought it's a good value for the craftsmanship and materials used. Good luck finding a USA made automatic knife with any blade steel under $200.
Regular Paramilitary 2s cost $170+ for the plain S45VN blade, $185+ for the coated DLC blade. Spyderco and other popular U.S. knife brands raised their prices tremendously the past year. Normal Paramilitary 2 used to cost around $140 like the deal here, but it came in S30V and that was like 2 years ago, before inflation and price hikes.
Wait until you want a SPK Lamia or something similar.

That knife looks ugly. I already own most of the knives I ever wanted, minus Brian Nadeau customs and Shirogorov Custom Division knives, but I won't ever pay over $2k for those pieces.
