Yes, they do... But, F&F on Taylor brands tends to be even more spotty, and I've convlceded that oftentimes your paying a bit more for names, and designs with CRKT; Kommer, Burnley, Onion, Carson, Mah, and more... Cheap knives often based on some of their top custom designs, whereas Taylor Brands, you're paying for just that, Taylor Brands.
Very bold statement regarding price;
For $20 and less:
CRKT - Lake 111z, Pazoda, Hammond Cruiser, Ryan Seven, Nirk Novo, P.E.C.K., K.I.S.S., Crawford Kasper liner lock, Drifter, Squid, M16, Free Range
Kershaw - Thistle, Half-Ton, Thistle, Shuffle, Kurai, Chill, Select Fire, Corral Creek, cqc 2k & 4k, injection.
(Assisted)Duck Commander, Starter, Manifold, Filter, Ember, Burst, Kuro, Drone, RJ Tactical. 3.0, Freefall, Oso Sweet, Amplitude, Swerve, RJ II, Clash, Volt II, Kuro, Cryo (1&2), Brawler, intellect, funxion
None "great" knives persay, some better then others, both using everything from 3&4cr to aus6 to nothing better then 8cr14mov. Both companies using multiple collabs off custom designs from multiple designers, but in budget packages.
Kershaw has more options, mainly due to many more assisted options, a specialty of theirs, but I'd hardly say Kershaw's China made line is "cheaper". Price by price, side by side, the two are very comparable to one another; and even more so when you see the $30-50 offerings, where they both get much better and more consistent.
Yes, Kershaw has a better overall reputation for qc, but f&f goes knife to knife and model to model within both brands, and CRKT has made marked improvement the past few years.
