Yep, and if they go on to become well known with a following you get to shock the fanbois with your examples and stories of "I knew them when...".

I decided to try one of these inexpensive Rough Ryder slipjoints. This Blue Mule sunfish was only eleven bucks. No one gets excited about 440 steel these days, but it was once thought to be good stuff.

A tribute to my service dog I lost last month. Picked it up from my knife guy today.
The Raindrop Damascus has 120 layers each of 1084, 52100, & 15N20.
Handle is Torrefied Curly Maple, and he cast the guard and pommel of Nordic Gold.
Brandy... RIP old girl.
Her 5 month old successor, Sophie (born on Independence Day) has much to learn.

I keep buying Ted Frizzell made knives. All 5160 steel differentially hardened up to 60 C on edge one piece full tangs canvas micarta handled. This one was $175 shipped .It has a Hammon under the heavy Parkerizing and a rounded handle with 4"x1 1/2"x3/16" blade. The upsweep and sizing makes it a perfect field dressing and skinning blade very sharp and holds an edge but touches up better than anything I had before. It is spring steel ! This one is flat ground with a convex edge. I used it to butcher pack up a small 130 pound buck a grandson took two weeks ago and we hung it in a cold room . I just resharpened on a 600 grit diamond stone and its as good as new. I am not carrying my pretty and expensive stuff regularly anymore using . Mineral Mountain Hatchet Works

And two months ago got this which I have been EDC ing , it is 4 1/2" of 3/16th 5160 , very handy blade configuration carries like a dream and has a glass breaker point handle . Nicely Kydex sheathed $125 shipped a super bargain IMHO
Depends on which 440. C, certainly (and it still is). A, not so much.
I was looking at byxco (Baryonyx Knife Co.) and this little 2-7/8" full flat grind 1095/58RC Grimalkin caught my eye at $34 (that's with the sheath).
Looked like it would be comfortable and everything is made in the US and the 2019 write up on it convinced me so why not.
It should be in my hands this weekend.

I'm pretty sure it's 440A, but for eleven bucks what can you expect. We all have beaters.

Got lucky and snagged this Koenig Mini Arius from USA Made Blade on the same day I struck out at DLT on Vehement Knives's Christmas release. Here with my new DLT mug and a CRK Umnumzaan for scale. The Koenig Arius is to my mind the finest US-made production flipper, but it is unmistakably large in the pocket. The Minis have been leaking out here and there and are a much better size for carry. Carrying an $800 folder is still a level beyond me right now, although the Umnumzaan is in my pocket as I type. Bottom knife is a REK Knives Ember 2.5, which is the sharpest little fixed blade I've ever held in my life. It's as sharp as a disposable scalpel blade.

Interesting design. Aside from the pivot there’s no exposed hardware. There are tabs on the scales that fit into the back spacer and screws that hold it together internally. You can see them in the last pic. Came with all the needed tools for disassembly.

It feels a little nuts the first few times you do it doesn’t it? I pretty much only carry my knives in that price range in the office or in the city.
And chance of banging around the yard or going to the woods that day, and a ZT goes in the pocket.
