Freakshow blades? Update!!

I don't necessarily like this knife, but it does have some nice features, so i took a look at their website to see their line-up. The "about us" section on their home page kinda hinds to local manufacturing, but that's how i take it.
Maybe they manufacture certain parts of the knife? They do offer fixed blades and some EDC gear so maybe that's what they produce in their shop. Indeed, no mention of OEM for the folders

Thanks for the heads up, though. It's nice to see different designs after a while in the hobby
 
Omen just arrived. Centering is spot on. It's very drop shutty and the action is fast and smooth. The carbon fiber inlays are done beautifully. I honestly can't believe this is a $300 knife. I own $500 knives that don't have this nice of a action and dont have this much milling. Oh and it's edge is top 5 sharpest edges I've ever gotten out of box. All the patches and envelope you see I didn't pay extra for either. They threw that stuff in themselves. I'll probably buy from this company again.

$300.00 is not trivial for a pocket knife. I have paid much less for some terrific knives. There are a lot of pretty things out there. How does it perform as a knife in regular use?

Well I literally just got it so I don't know yet. I'll have to carry it for awhile and I'll report back. It's slicey though.
 
Website not completed. IG and FB are Wix placeholders. Zero contact information. Looks like an a Reate OEM. Probably just another "Kind of Made in the USA" but actually OEM'd in China company. So many of these types of set-ups were at Blade-Texas (though much less than years past).

I thought this was telling from their website: "No Refunds. All sales are final, and the Company does not offer any money-back guarantees. You recognize and agree that you shall not be entitled to a refund for any purchase under any circumstances. No Warranties..."

Yea, that's the kiss of death for me, no matter how many stickers they throw in a box.

Yeah I definitely did my homework before buying. Knife is in great shape though and it's exactly as advertised. So I didn't get screwed.
 
I appreciate the OP bringing something new to our collective attention even if it's not necessarily something I'm personally interested in. Good job!
 
I can confidently say the hardness on the m390 is about 61 to 62. Now you naysayers won't believe a thing I say but I don't buy cheap poorly made knives. I'll continue buying from this company but won't make the mistake of posting on this forum about them again. For those that appreciated the thread thank you.
 
All that matters is that you like it. It's value for your dollar, not anyone else's. I'm in my Dodge that was made in Canada with a hellcat motor from Mexico and I'm typing this on my South Korean phone that was made in Vietnam or India. Oh look, my Ariat boots were made in Mexico or China. Guess I should upgrade all my stuff. lol

I took a look at their website too. A little bit under-developed. Then I looked at your photos of the knife. Beautiful intricate machining on the handle. The way the inserts fit in with no visible gap. There’s no American production factory that could make this at any price. Definitely Reate, Bestech or equivalent.
