KaozerCould you explain more? Why are teflon washers bad? What is expected in a $90 knife? Consider me a noob.

zsoumyaWell you usually see teflon washers on cheap 10$ chinese knives. They are considered barely better than having no washers at all. Around 35$ you start to see phosphor bronze washers. Which are smoother more resistant to wear and harder (less blade play). The real problem is that for 90$ you can get a knife with a washer so smooth you cant feel the friction. And i allmost forgot, you start seeing ball bearing pivot for that price

KaozerThanks for the info. If I had the cash to spare I would have considered this knife, though really the blade is the only part I like, visually speaking...I think the handles are rather boring. It's too bad though as I know I've seen this knife drop before, and am sure it will again.

KaozerYeah, it's not Mcusta, but I love my Spyderco Centofante III which has VG-10 steel. It has been a great value folder for me, still nice and sharp...though it doesn't get that heavy of use.

MooTaterscant go wrong with a spyderco. they make really excellent knives for the money. probably my favorite knife company. should check out the manix 2 (light weight or g10) with s30v. its really good and should be a little cheaper than this if i recall properly.

KaozerOuch, yeah CSBA has really smashed the enthusiast's world up there, haven't they?
At least you can get a Skaha II without issue!
Also you should check out the Skaha II, I guess they're like a (working) poor man's Grimsmo Rask or Shiro, very smooth with a superb action.
