Can't speak to the Corto but I picked up the Grande in the same line. The knife feels good in the hand, hefty, with good jimping. Very nice sheath for the price of the knife. They use a 440C steel and I've noticed some fine chipping in the edge of the blade, this without much heavy use. I'm not sure what the angle/bevel is supposed to be for this knife but I've been sharpening at 30 degrees inclusive. I may need to go to 40 degrees to reduce the fine chipping?? I wonder if the sheath is causing the chipping as this knife doesn't get much use. It rides in my car most of the time. The Corto is similar in design, a little lighter and less "beefier" than the Grande. I've held it too and for the intended purpose, I find the Grande more suited to my needs. You may like the Corto better. Jus my 2 cents.
