Anybody Ever Use a ColdSteel Large Twistmaster?

I've got one, but it cost me about half that. Good knife for the money; just take care to wipe the blade down after use, as it rusts from simply looking at it. Ok, that's an exaggeration, but not much of one. You have to pinch the blade spine to open the knife, and if you don't wipe your thumbprint off, there will soon be a rusty thumbprint on your blade.
 
I bought several from CS on closeout for $10. They're pretty good except that they are very difficult to open and closed as the tolerances are too tight.
 
They aren't made any more so what is a fair price? And you did bring up the prices issue. But I don't think you did to bad. If a $20.00 is your biggest boo boo in this hobby then you are doing well my friend.:D
 
fairly lightweight for its size, handle is quite tough, new ones tend to have extremely tight lockrings, mine to the point where I had to use channel-locks to get it to turn until it broke in. The grind is fairly thin, they cut well, but really should be carried in a sheath, I don't trust a folder that relies entirely on friction to stay closed in my pocket.
 
They are good cutters, Mine lives in my car. I think that the problem of being too tight is why they didn't sell well.
