New Rite Edge congress
Posted: Mon Jun 24, 2019 2:11 am
I picked up a Rite Edge knife for $8 yesterday.
It appears to have decent quality stainless blades, though the bone had a few small chips near the liner on two corners. I believe that it was a factory second at that price. It is a tight little knife with good snap, and it just feels good in the hand and in the pocket. In the store it reminded me of an old Boker knife that my late Father-in-Law had given me, though it is larger. Now I far and away prefer USA-made knives, especially used, old American knives. But for an EDC use-it-and-abuse-it knife, some Chinese-made knives are hard to beat.
