They use to send me catalogs all the time, dvds, of the annoying company owner doing a bunch of "tests" with his knives. None of them were very valid IMHO.

Also most of their knives use Aus-8 which is NOT a premium steel. Pretty much the very basic or intro steel, just like 440C.

I don't care if they found Unicorn horns and it somehow was the toughest object on earth that never went dull, I still wouldn't want anything from them. I used to watch their YouTube channel for hours lol

Found this on WalMart. Not sure on the blade length though.

That has a blade length of almost 4 inches. It's basically a spyderco Endura but with H-1 steel instead of VG-10. It's rust-proof steel, it does not rust period. The only problem is that it does not have as good edge retention.

I really like the Lionsteel SR-1 especially the beautifully scalloped Ti frame lock side and steel lock bar insert. But alas, they are a little out of my price range and do not have the option for left-handed carry.

If I spend over 200 for a knife I would probably go custom. Although I could see myself dropping a few more dollars on a ZT0551 or 561 although I may not have to once the Cryo comes out.

True but again, no left-handed carry option. It sucks being left handed and a folding knife lover. I have 2 knives that aren't left-handed carry and I don't carry either one anymore even though I love both of them.
