Six years out on orders? Wow!

I've been lax in my knife purchase of late. What do you think of AR-RPM9 that's been growing in use on the $50-$100 Chinese made folders?

I have a ZT 0562CF with a 204P blade. I like it. Reprofiles easily with diamonds, touches up easily on ceramic rods. Very good edge retention and corrosion resistance. Not as chip resistant as some other steels, but not as brittle as some reports on the web would indicate either.

Spyderco Native 5 Salt with Magnacut blade. Already pre-ordered. Just waiting for my card to get charged and for it to ship when the dealer gets them from Spyderco. Have you considered the aforementioned Native 5? It's becoming a de facto folding mule with all the steels that are already...

Enough of the dead horse beating.

I'm sorry, but that's not even an apples to oranges comparison*. Here's a closer comparison. That CJRB Feldspar with the 3.5" blade is $40 from Blade HQ (not fake knife riddled Amazon). Then Tit's $50 to get the 3.5" Feldspar with a black coated blade, or $80 to get the BHQ exclusive with a...

$200 Gets you S90V with carbon fiber from Benchmade, and steels like S110V and Maxamet with G10 handles from Spyderco. Where are you seeing Chines knives with those steels for $40?
