Eafengrow is well known for copying the designs of other knife makers. To their credit, the quality is fairly decent. But those in the knife community who care about such things won't buy them anyway.

I can’t with them cause liner lock but they look goodThe Ontario RAT folders are really good knives for the money. The fit and finish is usually incredibly high and they heat treat them properly.
Since there's a large range of stainless there will be some that this fits for, but AUS 8 is used so often because it is a bit tougher than 440C, but 440C has slightly better corrosion resistance and has a bit more carbon. You can almost think of AUS 8 as 440B with some vanadium. The vanadium in AUS 8 helps with the toughness. The economics dictate why manufacturers use AUS8. From a metallurgical standpoint AUS8 and D2 aren't close enough to really be comparable since D2 will make a better blade if properly heat treated, but it isn't really a stainless (nearly, but not quite there).
