As far as fit and finish between the CRKs and the Eagle, I'm not sure I can offer a really quantitative judgement. As you (rrpalma) state, fit and finish on the CRKs is excellent. That is why they win awards just about every year. The fit and finish on my Eagle is very good. The scales feel very nice in hand - nice smooth, rounded edges, and the actual surface finish is something like a smooth tumbled or scotchbrite finish. Though I don't know exactly what it is. It looks like some of the CRKs that have had the scales scotchbrite finished. I actually prefer it, but that is just my personal taste. The Eagle's blade also is finished very well. It came with a clean, razor sharp edge. I will say the Eagle was not quite as smooth out of the box as my CRKs and had pretty severe lock stick. I'm not a habitual flipper, so if I had not taken some extra time and effort with some pencil lead applications and extra opening/closing, I may still be struggling with it. It is pretty decent now. My personal, and subjective, take is that the CRKs feel a bit more smooth and solid. I still think that the Les George models are great knives and if you want something a bit different, and a bit larger than the CRKs, go for it. And, the XHP steel is nothing to sneeze at. My Eagle is frequently in my EDC rotation. I'll have to look the Gorgon up. I'm not familiar with it yet. Mike
