I can't find a review anywhere, has anyone bought one from this line? You'd think they could name each knife individually but apparently not. I like the looks of both of these two, although they are pricey for "made in China" stuff. And it's disturbing that their literature describes the blades as "made of Carbonitride Titanium cutlery-grade steel and are through-hardened to hold an edge." When the specs say the blades are VG-10, obviously the coating is CT not the blade steel itself.

someone must have at least held one of these right?
 
I bought one to try out. The grinds are ok. Initial sharpness not as high as a RR. The steel sharpens easy. I'd guess it's run softer than Spyderco VG10.

It's small, and the liner lock is thin, but seems ok so far through only light use.

Well ok that does not say "$65 knife" to me by a long shot - thanks for the info!
 
You're welcome. I wouldn't get another unless it was in the $20 dollar range. There are much better knives for that price from all the major manufacturers. Heck, for $65 I could get a Spyderco Endura or delica and have change left over after shipping.

Several nice Kershaws in that range as well.
