Hi, I'm new to this hobby and have been spending quite a bit of time surfing the net to learn more about knives. From what I've seen, some of the more popular production knives seem to include Spyderco, Benchmade, Microtech, EDI, etc. This probably isn't a fair question since I'm sure each company puts out its share of both high end and moderate level knives, but is there any way to generalize the different brands based on where there market strengths or focus are? For example, I kind of gather that Microtech's tend to be more expensive but higher quality, while Spyderco tends to focus on more affordable knives.
