It looks like all the MD knives not from a major manufacturer are contracted with WE Knives the Terzuola, the FF, and this Laconico.
This.I'd like to make a point: at $140 it's pricey enough that you have MANY alternatives from the established knife websites... and the bonus of immediate shipping vs the typical 8+ week nonsense from massdrop
Negative.You sure are out. Missing out.

I'll bite - why?I've boycotted knives made in Scandinavia...
Just signed up for this. Looks to be a great knife. Several design options including lefty models. Designed by Ray and produced by WE Knife.
I apologize if this has already been posted. I just got the email on it.
Anyone else jumping on this one? This and the Terzuola are the only ones that have really made me hit the "join" button.

1. That’s a VERY good price for his work, a lot more affordable for a plain Jane than I would’ve thoughtI took a look at it, and it's kinda meh. Given the design and the price, Laconico's midtechs are more interesting - they run in the low $300s.
However, when I took a look at current drops, it appears Massdrop and Ferrum Forge are doing yet another collaboration, this time a keychain style utility knife, in brass or copper. That one got me interested.
Where are you seeing it being ragged on? I just scanned the comments on Massdrop itself. It seems the biggest complaint is that people think it's a clone of the TUKK. I actually hadn't heard of that one before, but it doesn't appear to have a spring to keep it closed for safety - especially given their website says repeatedly NOT to carry it in your pocket. Seems to be quite different.If you’re referring to the scalpel knife (RUK), I’ve seen it ragged on since day 1 haha. Still interested in seeing how it works
I'll bite - why?
I'm going to admit fault to being slightly innacurate. One week into announcing this, and I see more comparisons to the Tukk/complaints about price/MERICA than actual criticism of the product. (And one lovely user by the name of ButtHurts who has unnecessary beef with FF). The original comments that I was referring to would be those adressing lack of ambi, requests for titanium versions, and the fact that it's a retractable blade. It might not be my knife of choice, but hopefully this design works for them.Where are you seeing it being ragged on? I just scanned the comments on Massdrop itself.

Edited to add: it does seem the controversy is mainly around that. Which is funny, since the TUKK itself seems to be heavily inspired by the Rexford RUT.

I’m pretty sure the TUKK has been out since before the RUT was around. Also I see literally no similarity between the two at all. The TUKK is a different shape, uses a magnet to hold the knife blade in position and is thicker than the RUT. It doesn’t even use the same blade.
The RUT uses a lockbar to hold the blade in place, is a totally different shape and is thinner. The one that seems to copy the RUT is the “titanium pocket tool” which was a kickstarter for a RUT style clone.
