Just bought one online.
They only had green, though I would have liked black.

Errrr. FUCK AUS8 steel. It needs constant maintenance. I have a SOG spec-elite II, and it needs to be sharpened constantly. Before that, a kershaw para-knife. Same deal.
Stick with S30V, or 154CM. They are the best you can get at the moment. |

CRKT makes pretty decent knives. I have quite a few in my collection. However I agree with KOS...the edge holding capability of AUS8 steel could be better.

AUS8 is definitely a good steel for a knife. Most of my pocket knives I use pretty hard at work are AUS8a, and they hold an edge pretty well and they are easy to sharpen. You wont have to be leaving over a block sharpening all day.
It's a good mid to high end steel. But S30v, 154cm and VG-10 are better but more expensive. |

440C, and AUS8a seem to be very good low-budget knives, but the S30Vs, and 154CMs are becoming cheap very quickly.. so, I'd keep an eye out. |
