If warranty and service are a big issue for you and you live in the US, I'd say buy American from one of the companies with a better reputation on that front, like Protech, Kershaw / ZT, Chris Reeve, Benchmade. These companies also don't turn over their product line as quickly as some others, so you're more likely to have parts available down the road. I believe they are also some of the select few that offer blade swaps.

I have a lot of Chinese knives I really like, but they simply don't have the capacity to deal with their knives if there's an issue later on like some of the better American brands. Where they shine is in delivering an exceptional amount of precision and detail for the price. It really depends on what's the most important to you.

Thanks for the input. I would always hope that you never need those services. In my experience, companies that provide the best service provide them at all levels of the organization. That's why I dig into those and the reputation they have.
 
Check out the new Kershaw bel air. Magnacut sheepsfoot style blade like the two you looked at with crossbar lock. Just grabbed one. Liking it so far but haven’t had it long enough to comment on Kershaw Magnacut.

Thank you for the recommendation. I'll look into it.
 
It's a knife that I thought might be of interest.
Not a small knife...more like upper end of medium, lower end of large (specs say 4" blade, though it seems a little smaller to me - I can measure when I get home later)

I am interested, but I can't identify the make or model.
 
What blade length are you looking for? (How compact do you need your EDC to be?)
 
You could go with a Spyderco Yojimbo 2 and put titanium scales on it.

I'm intrigued. Any idea on the total width when folded? I couldn't find it.

Ti is not important. What I don't like is aluminum. It's entirely a tactile thing for me. I have also found that in the two original choices, Ti just came with the better steels. Oh yeah, no wood either.

I've no idea the width, personally I dislike metal handles
