Hey guys. I know there are tons of better brands out there (like Kershaw) but I recently got interested in these 'inferior' brands: Mtech or Dark Ops. I used to think that both brands were pretty much brands whose knives you would use for jobs that you wouldn't want to use a Spyderco Manix 2 on for instance. Essentially, jobs that would really mess up a good blade. Anyway, I've recently started hearing & watching stuff about both Mtech & Darkops producing actually really serviceable blades - Mtech was making Cold Steel Trailmaster replications for example that handled jobs and stayed sharp like a real Cold Steel, and Dark Ops using Extrema Ratio designs that were highly functionable and just as tough as Extrema Ratios. Is there any truth to that press or are these brands still 'inferior' junk brands?
