I paid $250.00 for mine...the large pair...7 inch I think they are. Anyway, after losing many a pair in the surf or having them rust beyond use I decided a nice, durable pair of VS was just the ticket! Leather sheath to hold them to my wader belt and a lanyard to keep me from losing them in the surf if I should drop them in rough water......they are always there when I need them to cut line, remove hooks from the fish or, as in Riverrat2's case....remove a hook from his hand one night a few weeks ago. I showed up to meet him and Slingah coming off the beach which I thought was odd given that we just arrived....well as they approached we could see Riverrat2 had one of the treble hooks on his mambo minnow deep in his hand with the barb protruding out......neither Slingah nor Riverrat2 had any cutters with them so I showed up just in time to keep him from having to drive home with a mambo stuck in his hand.....VS pliers cut the barb off with ease, backed the hook out and he was good to go and the VS remain sharp as the day I bought them! Many may say its too much money but in my opinion, for me they were worth the money.
