Not sure about their knives but I just got this sweet Twosun Ti frag prybar. It’s pretty nice.

I have a bunch of TwoSun knives and a bunch of their pry tools, including the excellent one quoted above. At least some of the pry tools and pens are actually made for them by Pioneer EDC. (Both companies also do stuff for SixLeaf, RIHE Design and YJGDCN.) I've been picking up TwoSun knives for several years now, since at least their 100 series. Most are reasonably well made. They get a lot of cool designs and work with a lot of different designers.
My main complaint is that TwoSun doesn't always make sure that blades are fully protected when the folders are closed. Several companies seem to have internal checks on that sort of thing but at the same time, I've seen this issue on very expensive, high-end, or mid-tech knives too; including Chavez, Shirogorov, and Biryukov. If you don't know what I mean, it's blade edges, heels, or tips being exposed or very close to the edge of the scales when closed. So for instance, running your finger along the outer edge of the knife when closed could lead to a bite. It doesn't happen on every model but it's common enough that I have to mention it.
These are some of my favorites from TwoSun. I don't recall the model numbers (another common complaint). Coincidentally, the three folders are all examples of affordably priced full-sized blades in ingot steels with titanium bodies. That's something I wish more companies would do. The first two are running 14C28N. The third is 10Cr15CoMoV (the Chinese analog of VG-10). The third has actually seen multiple releases under those different brands. Coincidentally, the pry tool and pen in that third shot are also from that group of brands. The tiny fixed blade is interesting in that it uses TwoSun's proprietary spray-form steel, YJ01-V1. AFAIK, that might be the best or most advanced blade steel produced in China.
