What do you guys think about the company and the knives themselves? I really couldn't find to much info on them and all I know is that they used the Becnhmade axis lock design on a couple of there folders

I bought a G704 model and it was pretty astounding quality for all of 14$. Quite well put together - nothing sticking out where it shouldn't be, no rough edges, and the scales/liners lined up quite nicely. It's comfortable enough that I haven't had any problems with hot spots or blisters yet, and the action is very nice - the springs are stiffer than most axis locks I've felt, but it opens smoother and has less blade play than any Benchmades I've yet seen, even now. It even seems to me that they told the truth and the steel is indeed 440C, because it holds up to use quite well indeed.
I put it through its paces on a ten day camping trip where it was the only knife I used, and it really never let me down. There's a bit of side to side blade play now, but that's pretty acceptable, having chopped and pried and the whole nine yards with it.
The only problem is that the axis lock bar kept rusting to hell, but that's sort of to be expected since it spent ten straight days being soaked in either sweat or swamp water. It could fall apart tomorrow and I can honestly say I'll have got more than my money's worth out of it.
You could do a hell of a lot worse for 14$, and I doubt very much that you could do any better.
