7OT looks excellent. Can you post another pic 365 days from now showing it used and give a brief description of how it performed ?

365 days is one full year. I'm interested to know how well a China made 7OT stands up to repeated use, My guess is that they are as good as the USA Schrades. I'm basing this on other China made knives which i have used and assuming the China Schrade is of similar quality & steel.

Ok ::tu:: I did read that test,I'm always a bit suspicious that some tools are pushed harder than others :( plus I've only ever broke one knife in 36 years and that was my fault,I generally look after my knives and never abuse them so I'm guessing this knife will be fine in a year's time ::tu::

I have carried a China 60T most day for six years on the farm .There could be better knives to carry but at the price and punishment this knife has taken I could not be happier.
I was told they were a load of rubbishing when I purchased the knife but in my eyes time and punishment this knife has taken has proved them wrong.
