I think I’m missing some great blades to consider.
I’m buying a mid tech soon and want to know what’s out there.
Criteria: US or Italian made.
Right now I’m deciding between these 4
Zieba S5
Olamic Rainmaker
Chris Reeve large Sebenza 31
Hinderer XM-24

Who am I overlooking at this level?

I'd go Olamic or CRK. Then Hinderer. I personally don't like the profile of the Zieba, something just looks off to me.

What I’m asking is what other brands are out there that I haven’t seen or I’m overlooking.
 
I have no experience with them but a lot of guys here are big fans of Shirogorov knives.

Edit : Just realized that Shiro isn’t US or Italian. They’re Russian.

As unwisefool unwisefool suggested, a Spartan Harsey in one of the patterns of your choice would fit right in with some of these. That said, a Custom Rainmaker ordered to your specs from O OlamicCutlery would be even more amazing.
 
I've seen some Curtiss F3 midetechs around recently that look pretty nice. Les Georges are pretty sweet if you can find one.
