CRKT Maven G-10 Flipper Knife

I dunno. Still looks like 8cr for almost $40 to me. Why buy this over a tangram, Bestech or riuke with better steel and quality for similar money?

Agree with you about the 14c28n, but I doubt CRKT and Kershaw are in any financial trouble. They still sell lots of knives on Amazon or at Walmart to the level of consumer who only asks "does it come sharp"?

Is it just me, or is CRKT starting to put out more competitive items? They're still kind of goofy in their catalog and make some odd choices, but it's nice to see their well designed knives start to catch up to the 2011 standard for budget knives.
