Well I am interested in opinions on the above knives both good and bad. I know the hype with CS but the tanto folder looks good and it is SanMai steel. I am also liking the looks of the LW Loveless drop point folder in 154cm. Anyone own either one to share opinions? Don't want flack about CS hype, that has been done to death. Just honest opinions on the knives mentioned. keepem sharp and as always thanks

I am not impressed with what I have heard about CS "san mai"- it is only AUS8 sandwiched between 420, I believe. Hardly anything special. The Lone Wolf looks better, IMO, and has superior blade steel. Plus, it seems to be cheaper. :thumbup:

I have the LW loveless clip point (same knife different blade shape) and I love it! Great fit and finnish. The only draw back is the scales are VERRY thin at the edges and are easly cracked (as I found out the hard way) I am sending mine back for service but was told that the scales are hand ground and matched to the knife, so they may have to replace the knife (this sucks becaus mine is one of the Italy ones) It is a great knife with a super blade profile for daily cutting.
