Here's another up and coming Chinese knife manufacturer in the tactical folder market -- Stedemon Knife Company. There has been a passaround on Bladeforums with the DSM (Deep Sea Monster.) knife, and while it seems to have a few problems, the design itself looks awesome -- it reminds me of a Dalibor folder.

All these Chinese company's started right next to the fakes on ali express. They will continue to come out with new brand's and nice model's like these.
 
The Bastion is a really nice model.

^ I love that model of stedemon, but now that its over 300.00 I don't know if its worth it. Ive bought sebenzas and umnumzaans on the exchange for that kind of money,as well as other similar knives, not sure if its worth it to me. I wish it was 225 or so, id be much more comfortable at that price. at 336 it might as well be made here...

I really like the handle/frame, and size of the blade, but the blade grind is a bit simplistic -- especially for the price. It probably makes for a great slicer, though.
 
Got mine on Thursday. It really does slice great. Knife is solid as a rock. It has nice ergos at least for my hands. Great balanced unit. Ripper action is tremendous. Very strong detente (maybe just a tad too strong actually). All in all, I'm very pleased.
