Somewhere the other day we were talking about benchmade folding knives. I said That one of my favorite folders is the benchmade Vex, a Chinese made blade. It doesn't hold the edge of some of my other benchmades, but I have had MUCH success with it and have no complaints about it at all. Well I also have a Taiwan made blade, the benchmade 10300 monochrome. It is made of N690 steel and it also is one of my favorites. Holds a good edge and is easy to sharpen.

To each their own, but in my experience if you have a Chinese made blade from one of the larger/reputable companies, and IF they have a good QC you will get a good working blade at a lesser price.
