I have a few of these knives, Bayonet, Chieftain, and and the Fox. All look like good knives. But I've been looking for a write up for a long time and sure enough I wasn't surprised with the outcome only because the company's claims versus the price sounded too good to be true. These are not the Randall Made Knives of Russia. These knives are hit or miss depending on what was being done right or wrong on the day your knife was manufactured. Typical Russian manufacturing. Nothing new. In fact, I did a google map on the Rosarms USA mailing address and it appears to be an apartment complex in the Chicago suburbs. Like I mentioned before my knives look like good knives. But I may have paid too much for them. I'm going to start abusing them and see what happens. Apparently, just keeping one sharp may be abuse. We'll see.
