Their rep is pretty hit or miss on QC in general and poor HT on steel especially is concerning for anything intended for hard use .
I've wanted quite a few of their products over the years ,but never wanted to risk getting a "lemon" .
They have many interesting and innovative designs they license , but often don't actually produce a consistent good quality product .
So, I just always ended up avoiding the potential heartbreak .
Anyway , finally broke down and took the plunge and seems they did very well on the one I received .
So far , I'm very happily surprised and may have to risk buying more CRKT goodies after all ! Never thought I'd say that !
