Maxpedition FEROX folding knife

[Tixx]

Seems interesting. Not sure who makes it for them or how well the flipper action would work. Comes in both serrated and plain edge.

I don't like the handle design. You want a flat or outward curve/slant for the pinky area. This one your pinky rests on a point or inward slant. That doesn't make sense for leverage and common knowledge of pinky being most important part of grip.

Similar knives in the price range like Rat 1 and KaBar Dozier have good handle designs, more appropriate steel, and not made by a Chinese factory.

Ew. Do not want.

5cr13 seems similar to 420hc. If so, it's basically like one of Buck's modern folders (e.g., Bantam) except built in China instead of the USA and priced a bit higher (Bantam BLW is about the same blade length and $25 instead of $30). Doesn't seem too interesting. You can even get a Sanrenmu/Inron/etc. for half the price in a better steel (8cr13mov).

Sorry, can't see what's interesting about it.
