As good as the MKM collaborations are, i dont think the quality is on par the Chinese brands like Reate, WE, Bestech and Tuya. I’d probably spend a tiny bit more and get a WE. Either that or get a ZT and has much better 2nd price if you wanna sell them.

I get daily emails showing these knives on offer as 'Everyday Carry'. Who in their right mind is carrying a knife around all day? Are people playing the Davey Crockett / mountain man reincarnate or what? If I carry this thing around everyday, sooner or later I'm gonna end up starring on the PoliceActivity channel on YouTube lmao

Thanks for the nice explanation. Even though I took a comedic angle, I was genuinely curious about it. I can definitely see a practical benefit of having a small foldable knife at hand, especially for certain types of jobs. I've had experiences with guys I know that were playing the tough guy / first responder (not a genuine one by any stretch of the imagination) / aggressive character / survivalist etc. roles (usually paired with gun toting) that it put me off owning any kind of carry knife. I have an uncle that does street work where he uses the knife for his job (cutting boxes, packaging, tape etc) where he's used the knife to defuse situations with aggressive beggars, street thugs, muggers etc so I suppose it could sometimes be useful in a pinch.

LuckyLuke575I first started carrying a knife way back when I was in the Cub Scouts and pretty much have carried every day since I started working. My first couple jobs were manual, shipping clerk, etc. but even after moving into accounting it seems I still used it multiple times a day. It freaked a couple people out over the years. One time, we had a pallet of copy paper dropped off and someone went running for scissors to cut the plastic straps. I retrieved and opened my knife, cut the straps and had it back in my pocket so fast someone jumped back and said "What just happened!?". But so often, I see people trying to open things with scissors, pens, keys and whatnot I am surprised more people do carry one.

I know M390 is a premium steel, but $219 for a common liner lock without a lick of Ti in the build seems way overpriced to me. I have nothing against liner locks per se, in fact I have dozens of them that get carried often, but one reason I ever joined this site in the first place was to buy frame-locked Ti (at least on the lock-bar side) knives with decent blade steel (S30V, S35V and above) for prices not seen anywhere else. Over the last year or so, prices even on knives of that description have devolved to only marginal savings, if any, at best. I don't know what would make this knife worth more than $200 bucks on Drop, much less the MSRP of $240 MKM seems to think it's "really" worth. I'll pass.

OmniseedTrue, I only had a quick look at the pictures and I thought it was carbon fiber... Indeed, over-priced.

Is it me or do the colors on the inlay look off? The orange especially looks like plastic.

ponagathosI dunno about looking off for anodized aluminum....but that green one looks like it's already scuffed to hell on the show side??

Didn't they find out that Lionsteel was only hardening their M390 to like 50 RC?

RussBThe results of that are still disputed AFAIK. It was also the traditionals that were specifically implicated there.

Initial scan shows this at $240 at most common online knife stores. Good thing there's not a lefty version or I may be tempted to spend money.
