Kershaw camshaft with D2 blade is the latest EDC. I will try to post a pic of it and its companions later.
What is the most recent knife you bought?

Finally arrived! Been hunting for these for about nine months!
Spartan Blades Harsey Folders in Nichols stainless damascus and S45VN, respectively, with the 2020 Plague Doctor coronavirus engraving and anodizing.
I am actually not a huge fan of the Harsey Folder, but this one I kinda had to have just as a souvenir for 2020.

Picked these two up at a local gunshow last weekend. The larger knife is a Western Cutlery G46-6 Shark thought to have been produced just after WW II. Great feeling handle on this. The blade profile I like as well. The other is an Olcut made by KABAR. In very good condition with a Kabar sheath. Just couldn't leave it on the table.

Just stopped at SMKW Monday and bought an Opinel #9, a Damascus sharp finger with horn handle a Schrade folding knife with a hoof pick for my equestrian granddaughter, and a machete for my grandson to use trimming the 4 wheeler trails on our hunting property. Hadn’t been there in 30 years and was overwhelmed by the new bass pro sized new building. Spent several hours just looking around.

A clone? So this is an illegitimate copy of a Microtech? Is that correct?

I have a weakness for non-typical/non-common branded items. Not for collecting... just because I have an irrational draw to them.
These are from Cresent Tools. I got these on sale at Lowes for cheap. It looks like Home Depot has the same things but the steels are reversed.
Both ball bearing flippers with liner locks.
The plastic handle one is 3.25" 5Cr15MoV. Some compare it to 420HC but I dunno about that. I think I'm going to learn that Bucks 420HC is a lot better. My expection isnt high but my hope is. CRKT Gerber and some of the others use it, fwiw. It's used in a lot im mid tier kitchen knives, cleavers and even scissors too from what the interweb says. High corrosion resistant and easy to sharpen and apparently resistant to rolling the edge.
The aluminium handled one is 3.5" D2 steel.
The aluminium handled D2 is noticeably beefier feeling/handling than the extra .25" in blade length would hint at.
I've never had a D2 steel knife or a ball bearing knife and ive bewn wanting to try both and since they were uncommon Cresent branded... I decided to break my quasi no China rule.
These were in clam packs so i didnt get to touchy-feely 1st. I tightened the pivot on the aluminium one just a tad to get rid of a minor wiggle. Both are pretty smooth and lock good. For the money, seem pretty good.

The theft of intellectual property is a real shame that sincerely hurts legitimate companies and business. And productions of fakes and knockoffs are an endless source of consumers being scammed out of their money when shady vendors try to sell cheap coppies as the genuine article.
I'm glad you were informed when you purchased.

Ka-Bar USMC with a leather sheath. I got it at the Army-Navy store in town which has been closed for a few years so it’s been a while. It has the partially serrated blade.
people paying $700 for a piece of steel seems more like theft to me. By that logic I can assume you will only drive a Ford. Do you only take Uber because lift stole their idea? Also you can't go to burger king or Wendy's. They stole McDonald's idea. It's a free market. If microtech can't stay competitive they don't deserve the money.
If another company copies an other's product it is intellectual theft. Burgers are not a McDonalds concept. Cars are not a Ford concept. It is intellectually dishonest to equate copying another product down to the markings with competing in the same genre. Defending the theft of trademarks and designs is supporting theft of intellectual property.

Which Cold Steel knife?
