Anyone that pays that price is an idiot.
You can get cheaper ones at H.D. or any hardware store.
Or just bend a piece of scrap tin and make your own for free.

Yeah, I'd like to see the blood stains and rust on your door handles!
And the idea that making your own is free only if you place no value
at all on your time. The thing the OP linked to is either solid brass
or bronze, depending on the finish. ORB is oil rubbed bronze.

I dont make my own in the house. Mine came with the house, but I have
bought them for other projects at about $2 each and they look nice and
are durable. On the other hand, I have made them for barn doors, out
of 1/8 inch thick by 1" steel. It takes me about about 10 minutes
with a torch, hammer and vice to bend them. The ones I make cost 25
cents for the metal and another 10 cents for the spray paint and torch
gas. I save buying the ones that cost $8 each, and mine are much
stronger. No, they are not sharp.

The thing the OP linked to damn well better be made of brass at that
rediculous price. Or, actually it should be made of solid gold.....
