Any great folders, people seem to over look, or are ignored

If they were street race cars we would cal em sleeps. Not a big name, or fancy web-site, or u-tubes up the wazoo. Just a quality, we'll made founder, that is a sleeper knife.

What would you put on the sleeper list? As a great knife, under appreciated, and a very fair price
 
I like the viper start alot, pretty unique, not many people have it, and well made with quality materials.

Viper was one company that sprung immediately to mind. The other, for me, would be G Sakai. They have some really nice stuff and you barely hear about it here. The Rip with VG-10 and white glass fiber scales is a gorgeous little gentleman's knife and only runs about $75.
 
The Ontario Utilitac is one of the best values on the market. It's a helluva good performer, and priced very aggressively.

The ProTech TR-3 Integrity doesn't get a ton of attention because ProTech is known mainly for their autos. However, I like the TR-3 Integrity as much as I do my Sebenzas, ZT Flagships, and XM-18 (before trading). I think it is one of the best balances of practicality and performance, plus I think it has one of the best fit & finish of any production folder, and it is reasonably priced relative to other offerings in its class.
 
Don't know if you could say Hogue is "overlooked", but they make some pretty awesome knives. The 4" EX01 in black gmascus is superb.

Define "Fair Price"? It varies by person. One's man expensive knife is another man's beater.
 
definitely HOGUE , any Hogue , i never had a return on Hogue , never seen one off centered or defective.
probably most underrated knives on market .
 
Ontario's RAT folders, well made= phosphorus bronze washers, ok steel (aus-8), multi position pocket clip, steel liner lock. And can be had for around $30 in different colors and edges. And did I mention that they are well made?
 
Well, I will throw in a vote for traditionals here, as they are continually overlooked. A typical Case or Buck, especially with two or three blades, is a heckuva versatile thing. It's just not 'tacti-KEWL', LOL...and takes two hands to open. Ditto the Swiss Army Knife (Knives) . :)
 
Brous, LionSteel (and their collabs like Dendra and DPX), Hogue, Kizer. It really depends on your parameters. I have a Brous Bionic and it has been a fabulous knife, and am considering a T4 or Mini Division. I have my first Kizer on the way. I have a LionSteel Opera, had a SR-1 aluminum as well. The Bradley Alias series is nice, HTM knives, Wilson combat, Mcusta...Really depends on what you are looking for.
 
Combative edge M1. I've had mine for about 3weeks now and wow and I got it new under $140. I jumped on that deal and I'm so glad I did.
