The best thing to do is compare the AFCK to other knives in the same price range and similar size, there are many choices out there. There is the Spyderco Military, Rekat Carnivour, EDI Genesis, Spyderco Starmate, BM Axis, etc. There are new improvements considered for these companies too. BM may come out with an axis version of the AFCK. Spyderco may come out with a rolling lock for the Military. EDI is coming out with a talonite version of the Genesis. Knives are becoming like computers....just not as expensive.
Try to be open minded when comparing knives, or you will only cheat your self.
