Considering carrying this brand, but have not seen any in person. What are your opinions on the brand, and the knives ?

I posted this same question last week. The response was very weak. Hopefully yours will be much stronger.
 
Try doing a search in the Bladeforums Year 1 forum. I seem to remember some controversy over QC and some people being very disappointed. I don't have any first hand knowledge so I don't know what the scoop is. I do think they are a bit over priced for what they are, and I've handled 3 or 4 different ones. That's my two pennies.

Search on TiNives in the auto forum. There's a thread dated 11/20/99 that will have what you're looking for. Bottom line - TiNives was having some pretty serious QA problems at the time.
 
I played with a couple of different stars & stripes models and they both had numerous defects in the finish. The lock up was not that tight (side play).The action was not anywhere near as smooth as a SpeedTech. The handles are OK, but I still prefer the SpeedTech handles. Overall, I don't think they are worth the money. Actually, I don't think I would even pay the wholesale price for one.

Although they were having problems in the past, I have heard that Larry Chew is working a collaboration with them. Larry's stuff is KILLER! If TiKnives wants to get back on track, Larry is the guy who can certainly help them do it.

Chief is right,
Chew and TiKnives are working together,A couple of months back during a visit with Larry he showed me the proto,no blade play as it has Lerry's bearing pivot, lock up was good,black Ti handle damasteel blade,very impressive knife to say the least.
I almost forgot to mention It was the auto version.
