Check out www.bladeforums.com for more detailed info. If you ask your question there, you will get a lot of response. CRKT knives are decent, but there are a lot of better options. One reason I like their folders as opposed to say Spyderco, is the use of screws instead of pins in the handle. Sometimes you do have to disassemble a knife to clean out all the crud and/or rust. I own 3 CRKT's, a small Mirage and 2 Stiff Kiss's. IMHO, CRKT falls in between Smith and Wesson and Spyderco or Benchmade as far as Quality. The price vs BM or Spyderco is relative, but for the same money as Smith and Wesson's junk, you get more knife. Buck knives are also offering some pretty decent stuff in their newer models.
