Other than the one Case amber bone 3 blade sowbelly that I own, I have always been a tactical folder kind of guy.
Suddenly, I'm drawn to traditional slipjoints. (Don't even know why--must be a pic caught my eye in one of the sales posts or something.)
I'm trying to sort out the hierarchy of brands (not in a 'snooty' sort of way--just trying to get my bearings.)
Specifically, I see a lot of A.G. Russell folders - they look to be great quality, and I like some of the designs, but they are made in China? Don't get me wrong--I'm not knocking them just for that reason, but the prices seem to be USA made prices.
Is AG's quality on par with (for instance) Schatt & Morgan? Good steel? Nice fit & finish? (I like some of Case's patterns, but I can visually see a fit/finish difference even in online pics between Case and S&M or even AG).
Help please?
