    I’m intrigued by this knife and I’d love to have one.
    I can’t see where it’s made, but I bet its imported.. which I don’t care for

    What are your opinions?

    Just got a CRKT about a month ago. And while I do like it, really like it, it bit me the other day in a very unexpected way. (Put a very healthy gash at the base of my pinky finger when I was reaching into my pocket for my keys). And now that it has made its feeling about me known, I'll be tossing it in the safe, most likely never to be used again. I know it's not a fixed blade but, IF you are interested in it, let me know. Link below.

    CRKT knives are mainly made in China but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. I have several CRKT and they work as advertised. Lots of Kershaw's are now made in China too. I have serveral clone knives and most are decent with a few bad ones.

    I think knife snobs get stuck on types of steel. If it is for a specific application then I get it but for most, it is not an issue. I have a couple custom knives too but those don't get carried.

    Here
    I have a CRKT Apache II that I carried and used daily for about 15 years. That model was made in Taiwan and was discontinued right after I bought mine. It is very well made with an ATS34 blade and holds an edge really well.

    I bought a Ruger LCK made by CRKT a few months ago and I like it although it is not nearly the knife that my Apache II is.

    The higher lines of CRKT are still great knives. They have moved into the "auto parts store endcap" market with some lesser quality knives though.

    Spend the extra and it is worth it.

    Okay. I'm in love with Bark River
    I spent hours watching reviews and even a tour of the factory in Michigan

    They really make good products
    I predict I'm going on a Bark River spending spree....
