Personally, assuming the quality is there, I don't think the price is outrageous. Not a screaming bargain, but depending on heat treat, fit and finish, etc. could be even a good deal. The design reminds me a bit of the Todd Begg Glimpse, which is well into crazy prices. I'm assuming this is made and assembled in China, but if not, I'd like to hear where it's made. I'm probably not going to be in on this, since I can't see this displacing my current EDC, the wonderfully solid ZT 0450.
salehonasiWoah, USA machined scales and blade and assembly? Assuming the quality is there and they get the steel heat treated properly, this is a solid bargain in my book.
enkiduI agree with your entire post.
I currently have about 12 US made folders in my edc rotation. Including a XM-18 and a Sebenza 21 large in carbon fiber along with 3 ZT's , 2 Benchmades ,2 Spydercos but my 0450cf is my favorite....the action , size, weight and blade steel damn near perfect!
enkidui have this blade, and the automatic version of this blade. And Jason Brous is a stickler for details. So i can tell you from personal use, this is a great price on this blade. I own 5 different Brous Blades, and there all high quality knives. I think his knives have some of the best heat treats. I can get any of his knives hair popping sharp by free handing them on a DMT stone. Im sure you wont be dissapointed in the knife, especially at that price point.
