This is one Chinese manufactured knife that i (and I'm saying I) think looks better than Ochs (Cpm154)custom and to be honest one i have come close to buying ,but i just hate paying this much for 8cr ,god I wish at least D2 would become the default steel for some of these companies ,like Bestech & Artisan seem to use ,oh well again!

I am very new to knife community having recently been drawn into it from the EMS world where I used several Spydercos over the years. I have zero knowledge on steel types I see mentioned in several posts. Where can I get a good introduction to the different kinds of metals used along with a description of their strength and weakness? I did a few Google searches but only seem to find pages arguing "X is better than Y" which is not helpful.

Knifesteelnerds.com is decent, and Cedric & Ada's channel on YouTube is full of nice videos that examine the performance of specific steels using generally available knives and a consistent process. It's a good way to get a bit of context for the steels being discussed.
Basically avoid nonspecific 'stainless', though many good modern cutlery steels are stainless, and look for knives offered in well-regarded standard steels. S35VN, M390, and 20CV are basically the gold standard for midrange and better knives today. There are lots of other great steels, but those three are common and offer excellent performance for the tasks you would expect a folding knife to do.

Dear CRKT and Kershaw. 9cr18 exists. It is cheap. It holds its edge well. It is an ideal budget steel and if you used it YOU WOULD SELL MORE KNIVES YOU IDIOTS!
If you guys keep doing this, brands like WE, Kizer, Ruike, etc.. are going to take over your market share.

The material used as well as the execution of Och’s continues to show that CRKT is where good designs go to die.

This price is no longer competitive in 2019 unfortunately. For perspective, you can get a Cold Steel American Lawman for $75 which is only $15 more. For that, you get S35VN steel, stronger lock and lighter weight.

Are the pivots made of bronze or are they colored bronze? There’s a big difference .
