Some knives are just bad there is no doubt about it. I heard about some Chinese cheap steel that can't be sharpened once it gets dull.I have a friend who brings these ridiculous huge cheap Chinese knives that get bent when he tries to cut anything harder than bread. It seems that everything I preach to him about steel and price isn't worth a thing.
That is a great attitude! I have some very old tools that I'm very fond of and that I wouldn't give up for the world. I think this attitude can be transferred to how you live your life.I have Case pocket knives my father handed down to me and I use them regularly. I sharpen and oil them as he did and they are still just as good as they were when he used them. On the other hand, I've bought knives that are supposed to be great and they didn't last a season. I have used one of those things you speak of, CozInCowTown, and they were a wonderous invention, even surpassing the butter knife I dig in the garden with.
BudK, Gill Hibben, Frost cutlery...if you're looking for something to hang on you wall, that's the place to go. If your life depends on it, stay the hell away!!!I would never carry anything from BudK(or that type) into the woods. It is beyond me why people believe advertising at times.

That knife sounds very interesting, mostly because of its price range. Not so many knives of such build are that cheap. So it's good you say?Get something sturdy and practical and keep the thing sharp.
My old Cold Steel SRK won't win any awards for beauty, but it does its job well.
The old Cold Steel SRK was like $50 or something. It was made of CarbonV. I've pried apart pallets, hammered it into wood, cut down saplings, split small logs (4" diameter), and skinned deer. With the exception of a little wear in the powder coating at the very tip it looks unused. I got it in 2002.That knife sounds very interesting, mostly because of its price range.
