Do people here still bash Brous Blades?

Back in 2018 give or take a few years, some people here were all on his ass. I've been gone for 5 years but seems he's persevered. And possibly the attackers are in convalescent homes, I hope?

I have an American made folding knife collection, from 2014 through 2019, all American made, and includes all the big names. Around 70 knives. My favorites are the Brous. I have Sinners, Divisions, Turpins, Strifes, Calibers, and many more. All with carbon handles or Ti handles. I've yet to see anyone form carbon fiber as Brous has making it form fitting to a hand. Nobody has achieved that. I suspect he doesn't do a lot of that anymore, understandably, due to costs.

Anyway, I hope the haters have disappeared. In my collection, the Brous knives are my favorites. Oh guess what? His first company he formed was called "Cut Throat" Blades. Big F'ing deal. Get over it. Oh, and one of his knives, maybe the Division (?), was similar to a drawing someone made. Get the F over it. He worked it out with the guy that made the drawing. And from my understanding was extremely generous.
 
Only knife I have of his is a Silent Soldier Ranger version 2.
Decent for a neck knife.

All I see for sale now are folders made in China with designs I don't want.

I don't think anyone has been talking much about Brous Blades positive or negative for a long time.

Right? Who does he think he is, Medford ?

In all seriousness, who knows? I bought one of his knives a couple years ago. It was called the Sniper, I ended up gifting it to my Dad, he loves weird stuff like that… I think it was only around $150…not my picture but this is the same knife.
Pocket clip was a little small and tight for me, and I wished it had a lockbar insert for the price, but he’s had it for a while now, no problems and he likes it.
I will say it’s a perfect size IMO, in between say, a ZT 0450/0452

OMG, I thought they were American made. Is their whole lineup "C" made?
 
Was into them a few years back; some of his folders are really good.

The "made in C" knives are clearly sold/labeled as such ("Import Line").

I didnt even know they were ugly and overpriced until you started this thread.
 
There were 2 or 3 models that had appeal to me......Never enough to actually buy any though😉
 
Necro thread but I'll chime in . . .

I've own 2 balis made by Brous that I still like: the B3 Burnt Bronze & the Blackcell.

Too lazy to take pics of the ones I've got right now but these are pics of them from BF sponsors: BHQ & TKC:

Both are said to be discontinued but the Blackcell is still being sold (for a discount) on Brous' website. 🤷‍♂️

Note: I'll replace the stock pics with one of the knives I've got, if/when I decide it's worth the time/effort to do so.
