Anybody test out CRKT Wrangell and First Strike Military?

I am debating whether or not to even think about getting these two models, I realize there are a lot of hataz on here when it comes to CRKT, I would like to hear use and abuse stories about these two knives, not anti or pro CRKT rhetoric, I'll post that myself elsewhere . How about a rating scale?

GREAT KNIVES
Good knives
Not so good knives
:grumpy: Junk knives
Absolute crap knives

Thanks.

I like my First Strike. The steel does not hold an edge particularly well, which is to be expected. It does respond extremely well to stropping, and is back to shaving sharp in five or six strokes. It fits my hand well, and offers a good grip. The sheath is nothing spectacular, but is perfectly functional for IWB and belt carry. I feel that I got more than my moneys' worth.
I hope that this is helpful.
