The funny thing is that if this folder was manufactured in the USA in its exact form, using the same materials with the exception of using 440C steel, and had an MSRP of $150.00, the less than a handful of wambulance drivers complaining would refrain from posting ridiculous observations of a folder that to date, has been well received, and who's sales have surprised even the designers as well as Blue Ridge Knives, who btw funded this line of affordable folders. The good folks at BRK as well as the design studio aka ESEE are so confidant in this knife, that a 20% or so larger bigger brother will be manufactured and made available in January. Say what you will, but most with a keen eye focused on quality and bang for the buck will find the Zancudo more than a great alternative to other production modern knives in this price range. In the mean time, we should indulge in a bit of wine and cheese in this thread, and save the hysterical whining for that other no holes (or would that be holds?) barred sub-forum where folks throw scat at each other.
