I agree, just because they are inexpensive does not mean they are "cheap"!
There is no contest. The real SAKs are already dirt cheap! I was just noticing on my $12 Victorinox Bantam, there is no blade play whatsoever, and the spring snaps closed like a trap. The Swiss have figured out how to make these knives cheap and make them WELL. Consider the mirror polish, full flat grinds, and well designed, functional tools, you get your money's worth and then some.
I love this video. The Victorinox steel is an excellent EDC.

They perfected the slipjoint. Every one I've ever owned is tight as a drum and stays that way. I wish all my slipjoints were made as well.
