@Silence-and-ViolenceАй бұрын
@elgatofelix8917 Chinese factories are regularly making better knives than all the major American knife companies. Don't let your xenophobia cloud reality. Facts don't care about your feelings or nationalism. I wish American companies were producing knives with the quality and pricing of the comparable Chinese brands. That's why most of the American brands have been going to China for manufacturing of even their $300+ knives. The Chinese are just as capable, if not more capable, of high level craftsmanship as any other ethnicity. They built the longest running civilization in human history. They built a wall hundreds of years ago that you can see from space. They aren't stupid or lazy people. Spyderco is almost the only major American brand making good quality for the money and most of those models are being made in Japan and Taiwan, very few of their models are made in America. And they only do that because they make utility knives, ask them to put dressy handles or steel on an American knife and they're going to want $400 for it. Benchmade is overpriced brand hype. CRKT is so uninspiring. Either actual Chinese junk or bad pricing for what you get for the American stuff. Kershaw is in a similar boat, the Kershaw lines are either Chinese or overpriced. ZT is actually worthwhile and a good value to money. ZT might actually be the best example of good quality for the price for actually made in USA knives from a major brand. And all the mid-tech and boutique brands have most of their designs produced by the same three factories in China. Reate is regularly crushing brands like Benchmade, CRKT, Kershaw, and even Spyderco. China is regularly giving us legitimate grade 5 Titanium frame lock knives with 59+ HRC M390 steel for under $250. This was unthinkable in American knife manufacturing just 8 years ago. In fact, the Chinese factories got so good they are now able to charge MORE than the American brands for a lot of their product because the quality and materials are there. When you can get grade 5 or 6 Ti handles with well heat treated super steel or some gorgeous Damasteel with some exotic inlays like Mokuti or Zirconium for under $600 from the major Chinese factories.... just wow. Benchmade would want $2.5k for that and they'll be jerks to you about it.
@Silence-and-ViolenceАй бұрын
@@elgatofelix8917also Lion Steel and FOX are almost the only Italian factories making stuff that regularly beats the Americans and the Chinese for price to quality. Who else were you thinking of when thinking so highly of Italian knifemaking? The Japanese have been way ahead of the Italians for decades. The Italians have contributed almost NOTHING to modern knife metallurgy, design, materials introduction, etc. America, Japan, and China are by far the most responsible for the evolution of pocket knives and why we have such insanely good quality pocket knives today in 2024. That said, Lion Steel (and Fox for that matter) have been crushing the big American brands for about 10 years.

The sway back is slept on hugely, first reason is because when people see pics of it on stock photos they think it's a far smaller knife than it is and that slows it's sells because as you know it's a full size knife. I got one last year new for 160 bucks and its crazy good at that price. Even at normal price it's a banger.
