You know, it's interesting. I have purchased many cheaper knives from companies like Civivi and Sencut, and the fit and finish on these knives is very impressive. So are the tolerances. I just got my 6th Civivi knife in today, a Civivi Qubit, and I love it. I've got several Sencuts as well, such as the Fritch and Sasche (sp). Of all these knives, I've never received one that was not perfectly centered. This bothers me because I prefer to buy American made knives, but many of the top knife manufacturers here in the U.S. have consistently had QC problems with high-end production knives being consistently off-center, bad grinds, blade play, etc.
Now, I'm not saying that Civivi and Sencut knives are better than Benchmade and Spyderco... that is not what I'm saying at all, because they're not. However, with the little things like having knives centered, blade grind, and having a really sharp factory edge, these major knife companies could take some notes from the some of these Chinese companies like Civivi.
Oh, and by the way, the Civivi Qubit is a really nice EDC knife, perfectly centered, sharp as a razor, smooth deployment, perfect size, zero blade play whatsover - Excellent knife... A+
