Well I gotta say you just opened my eyes up yet again on some of the American made stuff! Some of them really made me dribble lol. I hope you and Kara and all your fellow Americans have a fantastic 4th of July. Much love to you all may all of you stay safe and healthy till the next time 🫵🏻😘👍🏼

Hogue is without a doubt the most underrated USA manufacturer. Best value, excellent qc, materials, heat treat, their edges are the best among production knives, they do the crossbar lock the best too.

Had the Freeman 451 when it was in D2 and sold it a few months later. The striations on the grind are eye candy but are a flaw on the knife. The striations create a binding effect when making long cuts to slicing an apple. Where the striations meet with the bevel it also gets in the way when freehand sharpening. He only made the knife for a year or so and then discontinued it.

So happy to see the Hogue Myto, it’s my next grail knife, I have the Deka magnacut with OG scales, k320 aluminum with wood insert, I’ve got the knifecenter exclusive k320 with magnacut and aluminum, the exo1 4” button lock aluminum scales, and I can’t wait to get the Myto and hopefully I’ll come across a demo ad20 full thickness for less than $800, I don’t care of it’s machine ground or what, I love my 20.5 and my Arcade and I want the real deal.

Have you tried the CRKT Redemption and the Michaca auto? Im very interested in the Michaca, I have a Protech magic i think it’s called with the sliding scale action, the Michaca seems like a more affordable user version. The redemption is a huge crossbar lock knife in magnacut, I believe Hogue is the oem for the Redemption so you know its go to be excellent. I think Hogue is making the Kershaw bel air too, I think I saw it mentioned at blade show.

Asked to purchase anodized hardware separately. Message was received and acknowledged by the company. Knife was sent with plain hardware without any further communication from Rob Johnson’s. Utterly disappointed in the quality and lack of communication for that price. Cannot in good conscience recommend Rob Johnson’s.
