I like Fox knives a lot. They are like a less expensive and less tacky Extrema ratio. For hundreds of years the Eye Ti's have been making the worlds finest blades. There best blades were far better than anything the Japs ever made. They were just as strong and sharp but would bend rather than break like katana's do and the fit and finish and craftsmanship was just as good. Many of the designs were superior fighting weapons as well.

Fox makes the Woodlander and several other knives for Spyderco as well. It is a great way to break into the tough north american market.
