That's a great looking folder! Who makes it?

That's made by Wild Boar, a Chinese knife maker who is also known for producing Strider and other mid tech clones.
You can find this brand on Chinese wholesale sites.
It is a Titanium framelock with steel insert with either 440C or D2(Some sellers say 440C, some say D2, I'd believe 440C myself)
It comes with full Titanium scales, Carbon Fiber non-locking scale and I think G10 non-locking scale.
Here's a pic of the other side. BTW it's not double edged.

Seems to be one of only 2 original designs they've produced. In my experience the Chinese make runs in different steels and differ in price by about $20 from each other, problem is that wild boar doesn't usually mark their runs so it's up to the seller to be honest since most of the online sellers are merely individuals and not actual distributors. Wild Boar seem like a very nice knives for the $70 and IMO have slighly better F&F than Boker's titanium Chinese produced folders. That being even though Wild Boar is not one the top manufacturers. [B]**[/B]Problem is that although from my research this is a in-house design you would be supporting a company that in the past has made fake hinderers and striders.[B]**[/B]

Whats that folder?

Guess I'm as good as anybody to field this one.

The folder is the CRKT Folding Pocket Razel. As it's name implies, it is a folding version of the Razel brothers knives of the same name.

Liners lock, nearly as thick as the blade itself, and laminated scales. They may not be as grippy as some prefer, but you can fix that by working the polishing process backwards.

The clip holds securely, although it's not as tight as some other knives I've pocket clipped. It's a big chunky thing, though, and a lot of people might find it takes up to much real estate in the pocket for EDC. But if you need to get some work done, it's a pretty good candidate.

The only thing I found out is that, once you dent the corner where the two cutting edges come together, it's hours to sharpen it out again! Now mine is off at an angle, and rubs the scale when it folds up. I'm going to have to take it apart one of these days and figure out why. For now, it's sitting in the drawer.
