The folders are pretty stiff, but other than that good stuff. Myerchin uses a lot of 440A but like SOG, they do a heat-treat on it that takes it well into the "not bad at all" category.
I think it's because they're picking 440A for it's stainless (marine duty) properties and NOT because it's "cheap metal".
Upshot: if you need marine-duty boater's utility folders of that type, they're a good choice. However, the A500 4" fixed-blade or the A508 with the separate marlinslike is an even better "sailor's knife".
