of that bunch ya listed I'd rather have the "lower" tier bunch in my collection

I think price point is fairly different. Holts and Koenig are $800+ for the base models. You can get Reeve and Hinderer for around $500 or a bit less

Flippers have been a popular knife for several years and CRK doesn't make them. IMO.

I would choose CRK, Hinderer, Les George, personally.

I don’t, I was just asking y’all’s opinions! I wish somebody had a tier list too!

Just my opinion but something to do with lower batches and the insane milling and expensive machines that goes into them? Also, if customers are willing to pay at that price point.. well.. you just have to anchor yourself to that point.

Can't speak for koenig nor holt but I have a grimsmo, you can appreciate the details in parts and the action but at that price point, I wasn't blown away nor impressed

I don't know who placed those in a higher tier than Chris reeve, Hinderer, Les George but I would definitely disagree with that placement. More hyped and expensive does not necessarily mean better........

Closer to the truth than many will admit.

Yea, I absolutely love grimsmo knives!! I’ve watched every video on their YouTube channel, and im very impressed in how much time and detail go into their knives!

Yea that’s true! The hype makes the price go up to insane numbers!! And still Chris Reeve beats them in quality(tolerances,fit and finish)

Note how the Grimsmo has dragon scales but the CRK only has puppy paws. Case closed, really.
