Price Range
Initially the Snypex Knight ED binoculars will be priced from between $440 for the 8x32, to almost $600 for the 10x50, with the Snypex 8x42 Knight ED costing about $480.

Competition
This pricing places most of them, including the 8x42 Knight in my Mid-High Value Binoculars price range, where they will be competing with some other high quality products like the award winning Celestron 8x42 Granite, Celestron Granite 9x33 Binoculars, the Eagle Optics 8x42 Ranger ED and the Hawke Sapphire ED 8x42, Pentax 9x42 DCF BR, Vortex 8x42 Viper HD and the Vanguard 10x42 Endeavor ED binoculars.

Where To Buy

As they are still new, so far I have not seen them stocked in many online optical retailers, but have found them listed on Amazon and Ebay, the links to which in your country can be found below:
