Hinderer knife under 200?

[RevDevil]

You can get a pretty good copy for around $100 (by good copy i mean it looks just like a real hinderer). I wouldn't recommend it though. My votes for the Zero Tolerance 0550 hinderer collaboration. It's a very high quality knife and shares a lot of the same aesthetics and functionality of a hinderer. For a real hinderer your best bet is is to become a firefighter and wait till rick starts selling knives directly again

So why even suggest it?

It wasn't a suggestion. Just a statement of fact. It also shows how far off the real price he is since he's much closer in price to a chinese knockoff than the real deal.

You can get a ZT 0550 for around $200. It's NOT a flipper, but is an outstanding folder. Titanium and G10, and the measurements are nearly the same as the XM-18 in the 3.5" blade.
Blade-length and overall length are within 1/8" of Hinderer specs. Both come in CPM S35VN, although Hinderer has two other blade-steels also. The handle thickness is only 0.025" different.
I've never held a Hinderer; I don't have the $800. The ZT 0550 is very nice, however, and I have that one. It's impressive. Both knives are quite, large, however, and rather heavy, and I wouldn't care to EDC it, at least NOT for office-carry.

The Inron MY803 is a copy of the XM18 and it's quality is on par with Sanrenmu's and Enlan's, is that good enough?

I've heard its quality level is significantly below Enlan's actually.
