America has reached 250 years, and I am grateful to be here, in the best country in the world. Thank every one of you who helps make this country a better place, those who have gone before and risked it all, and those who've paid the ultimate price to make the United States what we are today.

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".
