You can get a $15 Mossy Oak Bowie Knife with a 14" blade and wood scales on AMAZON. They would sell a lot more of those if they lied their ASSES off and said they were made in the USA or maybe... made of fine D2 steel that's shipped to England where they were expertly forged and shipped back to the USA for the custom handles to be handmade and fitted and the professional quality leather sheath which is made from the same leather as fine Italian shoes is included in price! Actually it is a special relationship between Salvatore Ferragamo and the owner of Mossy Oak that allows the company to get Italian shoe quality leather sheaths from the Ferragamo factory! SO you get USA steel, English forged blades, and good old American made fit and finish on the polish and handles in a fine Italian leather shoe sheath. The $14 price is our way of passing the handmade quality on to you without a insane mark-up like our competitors! Hard to believe? You must be one of those Blade Forum terrorists who hates capitalism!
I talk a lot a shit about CFK and for good reason I think. I have also owned a lot of them and still have three or four that didn't sell when I dumped them. I chopped with them and cut with them and maintain them. I am not a huge fan of them. The best chopper I had by CFK I ran right next to a SYKCO thick cut Chophouse on oak logs with a hammer. But you don't have to own any to smell their Bullshit.
Here are two I still have and the best iPakistani chopper I have owned... the bowie is a rip-off clone knockoff inferior of the Tops Prather, and the recurve is actually a decent shape with obvious ergo issues with the anemic handle and the shock absorbing properties of a hard tail on aggressive speed bump at 75 MPH. Just about anything from Scrapyard in the weight class leaves it in the dust chopping and batoning, etc... performance-wise and sheer comfort and hand preservation. The "USA MADE" handles are put together with teentsy and soft hardware which strips out instantly and some kind of cement that's similar to Elmer's glue. The "D2" isn't bad in my experience. The two smelly fakers are the best they have to offer in my opinion... if they were $30 good weed diggers. Functionally, relatively useless if you have any BUSSE, SYKCO, Swamp Rat, or OKC, Tops, or similar.
