Funny we end up on the same forums! Anyone on here pick up a dauntless? I have yet to pull the trigger on one.
$47 for a spork? No matter how great their gear is, having a spork listed for $47 and a decorative bead that you can add to your lanyard for $135 makes me feel like somebody is getting ripped off. They may be a great, made in American company with gear you can hand down to your son but seeing that stuff on there makes me think they're overcharging for their product.
I had a look at the stuff like the hand crafted sterling silver bead. It may be a bit over the top for some people but that hardly means it is over priced. Hand made stuff with attention to detail and real value for money seems out of fashion in this "Wal Mart" environment but some of us are interested in and willing to pay for it and appreciate that it keeps American (or in my case Canadian) artisans and craftsmen working. The company I work for is expensive to hire and we are rarely the low bid but we are busy as hell because our customers understand the value of of our service and attention to detail. We are often called in after the warranty period (of a job we didn't get) to make things right. To make a long story short, if you don't see the value fine. You may be perfectly happy with something else but that doesn't make the TAD stuff over-priced but merely out of your reach.$47 for a spork?
