My CS knives have served me well. I sold my Trailmaster. Once I got the Dog Father, the Trailmaster was made obsolete. I still like their folders. I just wish they were American made. I prefer to buy American when I can. I drive Fords and Jeeps and Harleys. Sometimes the product I want just isn't made here. One day I'll get a Fallkniven. I have a Canadian Grohmann Survival on order, so at least it is North American made. I odered it with micarta scales and full flat grind. Steel is German 116 stainless (like CS uses}.
