J33 I seen one BF thread that hammered a CS kukri. I'm not sure what they did to break it, but they were all over about what junk CS is. I agree with you, everyone wants quality tools, ones you can count on in a pinch. I don't care for LT's attitude or propaganda, let's your product do the talking for you. CS does have some items I like and until other companies make them, I'm with JB, I'll pick them up when one cathes my eye. That's my take.
