As the title says. Tell about your CFK folder. Pros and cons. Would you buy another 1?

Only 3 dealers listed for CFK that I could find. KC has 3 models: Morrf, Garza, and the Tegral. More models in stock than the other

2 dealers.

Do they hold their value ?
 
I can only speak to the Morrf. I bought the Morrf 4 from fromrussiawithknives. Delivery took a while (2+ weeks), and tracking is a bit nerve-wracking (the knives tend to spend days and days without moving), but it eventually arrived. I love the knife. The fit and finish are superb, as is the flipping action. I don't care about value retention, so I have no idea on that, other than to say that they tend to sell for close to retail on the BFC Exchange. I liked the Morrf 4 so much that I bought a Morrf 3.2 on the Exchange here. I like it just as much. They're great knives and great value.
 
I have the Morff 4 as well. I bought the 4 because of the blade steel and the more traditional look with the all Ti scales. The action is really nice and F/F is really good. The only knock was the pivot came loose, added a little locktite. I ordered mine thru frwk as well, took just shy of two weeks to arrive. I would order another knife from them, leaning toward the Tegral. Not totally in love with the blade shape on that one though.
 
I have a Gratch and a MORFF1 and they're both great knives. The Gratch is a great knife, but a little too big for my EDC needs. I really enjoy the MORRF and carry it quite a bit. Both flip well and are constructed as well or better than similar priced knives. In terms of resale value, they do
OK, probably a little behind a CRK which seem to be the standard for good resale value.

I think the biggest hurdle CKF knives face is anonimity, stylish design and a bias against imported knives.

It may have the been the early on "mystique" surrounding the name vs the country of manufacture that caused that bias.
