I've realized that not everything I do requires a $200 blade. I recently got a Boker Catalyst and it's been more than adequate for office/home work. You get what you get for $40, and it's not a "good" knife, but like I said...adequate. I quite like it.
The problem with $200+ blades is they still aren't as good as $30 Home Depot hatchets for camp-grade chopping duties.
