Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By WILSON: 'The Carter' - is that a decent knife? They are a design company. Have their stuff made overseas. For the money there is better spec'ed knives out there, but if you like the design, then it is worth it. What put me over the edge for the Ellis was when I got a discount. |

OTTOMH Easily available ZT Semi-available (regular drops but will sell out) CRK Hinderer Koenig Then you get to midtech stuff that's much harder to snag, and there are too many to really list but guys like Les George Jonathan McNees Brad Southard Demko Of course there's the full production stuff, most of them have some models made here, some imported Spyderco Hogue Kershaw Microtech Protech |

A bunch of this is subjective. ie- do you like it and does it meet your needs/desires? I like the looks of the Barnes, the Kline, the Ellis, the Pike, and I am really drawn to the Duval. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Star_Scream: Originally Posted By 80085: Looks good but those are some massive jalapeño chunks. They were sadly not hot needed chunky bits.
