Make them for a a couple bucks, sell them for hundreds. A million disposable models and knives made by a disposable people in a throw away culture. "Another high end Chinese company?" No

My We knives are by far the nicest knives I have, and from super nice people. To each his own.

I won a Kizer in a GAW and I'm very impressed by the quality.

The WE Double Helix is a gravity knife, plain and simple.

It's completely undeniable, especially since it locks close and you need to open it by pushing the button, completely freeing up the blade. I love the design, including the mechanism, but it's a gravity knife by definition, with all the legal complications that comes along with it.

How would you guys compare WE grind thickness to ZT? I love ZT designs but haven't had one that was suitably thin behind the edge. Am I forever spoiled by Chris Reeve?

You're gonna want to try the 804 now that it's discontinued and a few places have them for well under $200, probably because it's such a particular looking knife and never caught on. It's got a lot going for it that you're looking for, thin stock, a high hollow grind, and it's super smooth. Because of the light blade it has a little bit of a hybrid bearings/washers feel to it.
