I am very impressed with the manufacturing quality of my new Code 4. Its fit and finish are better than what I would expect from a $500 knife. (The design is fantastic, too!)

The sharpness of the factory edge is among the best I've seen on a production knife.

Here's the factory edge, seen from the side at approx. 230 X:

Here's the blade profile, at approx. 50 X:

This is the edge apex profile, at approx. 230 X:

I agree, the code 4 is over all a very well made knife. I cant see the pictures.
 
yep, neither can i, pics are a no go.

i'd expect more in fit and finish from a 500 buck knife but that's me. the code 4 is a done very very well though for the price point.
 
Sorry for the problems viewing the images. I've changed where they are hosted -- are they visible now?
 
Thanks for the great images!

This is why I buy Cold Steel over all else: I can rely on their consistent quality over any other production knife company at any price.
 
Love that Code 4. Thanks for the images. You really have to zoom in to see that the grind is slightly off. That is good workmanship. That edge is very smooth, too. CTS-XHP is one of my favorite steels.
