Sobata-799

I hadn’t heard anything about this knife but I stumbled across it and was intrigued with the blade material. I didn’t have much expectation for the build or action, but it is surprisingly really well done from a company who makes pots and tent stakes. The detent is very nice with a clean break and a satisfying metallic lockup. The fundamental build quality is pretty well done. The action is very smooth and with a drop of oil, the blade floats down nicely, especially for the light weight of the sintered titanium blade. I really like this knife and it seems to maintain a toothy edge for a long time so far. Worth the buy and definitely fills a gap that most enthusiast consumers don’t even know they have in their collection. I’m happy I bought this!
