They don't seem to be moving forward as a company. They had some greatness once. Carbon steel, powerful, precisely made, and no joke. Recall the SOG bowie in blued SK5 ( over .25 inch thick). The 9 inch Carbon steel Tiger shark. Even a midnight tiger version. Totally bad a$$ knives. The 4 & 5 inch folders made with VG10, the Pentagon Elite. The BG42 ( RC 60 & 62 marked) folders for under $50. All god knives, and the only one of their kinds on the market when introduced.
They were the first production company to release 20CV. Heck, the older versions of the Tomcat are still collected with more passion than the newest models.
They are past slipping. They could turn it around so easily though.
