Product Description
Designed by Jason Stout, the aptly named Stout Commander is a workhorse folder fit for demanding tasks. Measuring over 8 inches long, the knife definitely commands attention Read More
At first glance I was kinda digging this knife, until I scrolled further down and saw that it was one of those "2 tone" knives with different scales on either side. I really wish knife makers/companies stopped doing this, and just stick to making knives with the same scale on both sides. Visually, I think it looks better, and also feels better when in the hand, especially for those of us who happen to be lefty.
People are concerned with chinese d2 steel used in this "workhorse". The poor design of this "workhorse" seems to be screaming out "it's going to break just behind the pivot" 😃. If it's going to flex or break, I know where. Questionable form over function. Countycomm's focus seems to rely on odd looking with no concern for purpose.
No thanks to China d2. People don't understand that your getting a slight bit better than 8cr13mov performance at the expense of harder to sharpen for most novices.
D2 in knives cheaper than $35 is acceptable. That's why this one is clearly not acceptable at 80.
Don't think for a second yours is better than another. Here are some good videos that really show you. Most people keep saying the same bs malarkey and passing it on despite it not being true.

anonomousThey aren't all made the same. Plus you're getting carbon fiber and 1 of 600. This knife is worth the money.
balakay43It's not worth it. And China d2 is not good no matter how they make it, they don't know how to do it right.
CF and 600 being made is hilarious to say it's worth that cost. Your just addicted.
jayonnaiseThey also hollowed out portions of the frame-lock side, which helped. I picked one up from County Comm a while back, and for the money, it's one of the best deals out there.
Don't know how much I trust that unreinforced carbon fiber scale (especially from Boker China) , but price doesn't seem bad . https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HHUB7F4pGlk
I like most everything about this but the D2. I like the scale, I like the lock, I like the grind, I like the lanyard hole, I like the clip, but a MSRP of $179 for a knife with D2 is ludicrous and even the markdown price of $79 is about $29 more than I want to pay for this knife. I see the carbon fiber scale and the limited run, and maybe on a good day I'd go up to $60, but I also see the stainless and D2, and I can get a very well made D2/CF knife made with titanium instead of stainless under $50 (and in fact, I own a bunch of 'em).
Still a little torn because damn, it's a nice looking knife, but Boker was being a little cheap when they specced out the blade.
You almost have to make one yourself to get one with a real Scandi grind these days. Everyone wants to modify it with a secondary bevel, when the entire point of that grind is that you can lay the entire grind edge flat on the whetstone and get it razor sharp very quickly without mucking up the grind angle at all.
I gotta hand it to the Scandinavians. They always have a different way to do stuff and it's usually an improvement.
I bought a couple of these directly from CountyComm and it's a very nice knife. I usually don't like carbon fiber because it's too slick but the dimpling on this solves that problem. Flips very nice and the handle feels great in my large hands.
This is a pretty decent low budget flipper, as far as I know, I bought a Lateralus a few years back and squeezed an aftermarket deep carry spyderco pocket clip on it. pretty sure its buried somewhere in my gun closet collecting dust now.
