Artfully Martial Joined Jun 8, 2005 Messages 4,761 Dec 28, 2008 #19 The finest example of an AO knife is the Blue or Green Ti Bump. Rarely does AO encounter CRK-esque production quality and full on Ken Onion weirdness. It's too bad I don't like AOs...I'd buy another one if it weren't for that. The knife is unbelievably good.
