Cheap G10 that's poorly finished
Shitty customer service
Cheap steel grades
Made overseas by low bid contractors
They sell purely on hype marketing. There are many manufacturers that offer a better overall value for the money spent.
Hahaha thanks for the laugh mate, really love bumping into guys like you.
Cheap poorly finished G-10 - never once have i ever seen poorly finished G10 on a CS knife. Go look at the textures on the Ultimate hunter/swift, beats most G10 i've ever seen on a knife.
Shitty customer service - Fine, you can have that, but i've never had to contact them because i've never had an issue on a single knife in over 10 years of buying CS knives.
Cheap steel grades - I'm so glad you said that, BD1, CPM-20CV, CPM-3V, O-1, CTX-XHP, low grades?, you wont find these steels on a stronger, affordable more well made knife from any other brand. Fact.
Made Overseas - who bloody cares? are you that sensitive over where your blade is ground? Put down the flag and lay off the caffeine. Spyderco out-sources also.
Sell purely on hype marketing - They sell purely on the fact that their knives work and last. They don't get blade play, or lock stick, or lock slip, or lock rock or need graphite on the lock bar, or more tension bent on the lock bar, or to be sent back to a ranch or home base to get "tweaked" and get back to you in 3 weeks.
Dislike them for whatever reason you want man, but don't come to a knife forum where there are experienced knife users who have had these knives in hand for decades and talk rubbish.
Find me a bigger laugh than the fact a sub $100 CS knife will dominate probably any $1000 + frame lock custom in real world cutting and hard work.
And i'm still waiting on you to list the companies which offer more for the price, please provide the list.
