Great lookin' knives gentlemen!

Here's a low budget folder that qualifies as "tactical"....I guess. I did not know that RAT/ESEE was making knives in China but here ya go. Call me uninformed. This is a RAT/ESEE Churp Liner-lock folder. It's 3 1/2" closed with a 2 5/8" D2 steel blade, blue G10 handles and stainless hardware. Fit and finish are good, blade is perfectly centered, action is smooth, and lock-up is solid with no play or wobble. On the down side, this knife offers no possibility of one handed opening. Overall it appears to be a tough and useful little knife. This one might wind up in my tackle bag.

No, I don't think so. I found this article after I got it: https://knifenews.com/new-esee-designed ... ble-churp/

Many moons ago, someone lost the following pocket knife.
Many moons ago, I found the following pocket knife........

It is a SOG flash II, one blade (half straight edge, half serrated edge), two blade etches, 4 1/2" closed, thumb studs, two blade locks, a pocket or belt clip, all metal, pocket knife. The main blade front etch says, "SOG flash (flash is written) TM II" The main blade back etch says, "Pat. Pend." The shield, on both sides says, "SOG - SPECIALTY - KNIVES" There is NO country of origin marked or stamped, anywhere on this pocket knife. This pocket knife is in EXCELLENT condition. I have NEVER cleaned it. I have enjoyed carrying it over the years, and I look forward to carrying it many more years.
