Do you ever feel that some struggle to find fault with certain knives?

I won't even consider a knife if it's not at least s35vn. Anything less than that I view as a gas station truck stop special.

Where's the line for this? Is it too much to expect a company that specializes in making knives can grind one symmetrically?

Anyone can grind a straight line. But, to have grind lines go all over the place requires real creativity.

Strider SMF and SNG. I loved every millimeter on them. My favorite folding knife models, yet I'd never recommend them to anyone. I often say they are the "1988 Camaro of folding knives", not even top of the line when the design was new, but for some people the lines and attitude are just perfect.

While I can appreciate the IROC-Z comparison, I think H1 Hummer is a better one, since it really captures Mick’s love it or hate it aesthetic, the stolen valor angle, and the douchebag overcompensation.

So according to you, Benchmade, Spyderco and many other big name manufacturers made a buttload of gas station knives.

That comment has me scratching my head too.
