Lets leave this stone unturned shall we . . . In a nutshell you won`t find much love for Red Scorpion Knives here on BF. However don`t let that stop you. You can use Google to search threads. There are lots.
KTOMES 340, to answer your question, I bought an ASK6 a while ago. It's kind of a knock-off of the Bear Grylls knife, but not as well made.
I found the fit and finish to be unsatisfactory. There was a gap between the tang and handle material that you could fit a credit card into. And this is after I asked them to check the knife over cuz it's going to Canada and would cost an arm and a leg for postage to return it. They were good, however, with the refund minus postage of course. I would not buy another one.
My advice would be to get a Dozier in D2 or S30V and you cannot go wrong! Also, I'm impressed with some of the Bokers, eg Savannah, which is a well made, well designed knife with excellent fit and finish.
