I would strongly like to suggest that many (most?) of the guys who say that "made in China" is a deal breaker for them - that they have knowingly purchased a knife made in China in the last few years. I bet it's more of a political statement than anything else. After all, they buy all sorts of other products that are made in China regularly, because doing otherwise is close to impossible to avoid.
There are at least 10 copies on my wishlist that i would never pay what the originals are asking for not even a tenth of what some ask... And if it wasn't for China we would be paying $49 for $5 product... P.S i kinda like the textered paint on that dragon knife...
Detent that is too strong for the deployment method drives me crazy. Recently got an acorn from vosteed that has a detent so stiff that front flipping it is impossible. Great video.
Good topic. For me price is the first deal breaker. If I can't afford it, it's not going to happen. And in the same thought, if the price of the knife doesn't reflect the materials it's made of. A $250 knife made of 440a is a big maybe. And past experience with the maker. If the last knife of theirs I purchased I had to send back will have an impact on how I feel about buying another one. Thanks Good list
china made...price...any damascus blade...ease of carry, I love Buck knives but HATE their leather sheaths - I'm talking 119, 120, 124, etc fixed blade stuff...the 113 skinner sheath and the 192 Vanguard are great...the 110 is ok, but prefer an aftermarket made in the USA. BTW, I own 20+ Buck knives....so, js 🙂. Enjoyed the talk, honesty is what counts. 👍
If I purchase a knife and there’s any issues , especially sharpness , it goes back . And as far as the China deal. 90 percent of us buy Chinese knives so…. 😂kershaw “USA” made knives are assembled by Chinese machines 😂😂😂

Perhaps. I can't read minds so I don't speculate. Thanks for watching, man!👍
I’m the same.
There’s really only one actual deal breaker for me….price.
If it costs too much, I won’t buy it.
End of story.
Cost is the great decider 😂

Very true... But I disagree about the dragon knife 😂

Oh yeah, a stiff detent can ruin an otherwise great design. Thanks for watching, man!
Bend the lock bar back a little

Ease of carry is actually huge! If I ever redo this video, I'm going to include that. Thanks for watching, man!
