Return to fixed blade knives. MKC worth it?

Why anyone would buy a knife from them at the prices they are charging is beyond me, but that is what great marketing will do for you. I am a knife junkie. My hunting knives are customs by Rick Menefee and Clint Chisan a Canadian maker. I know some of you guys may be reluctant to order a knife from Canada, but his waits are three months not three years, and his quality is outstanding. I have seen examples of piss poor workmanship sent out of MKC, and most often people will say it’s a one-off and that anything can sneak through. I say BS. I have seen videos of people on the QC line doing what QC does, but wonder what they are doing when so many complaints are online about shoddy finishing. Simply unacceptable for the price. Add on the relatively few drop point designs, and the para cord wrapped handles, and it is simply a no go for me.

It seems many on Rokslide are fans of the Canadian Belt Knife design. Here is a Canadian maker’s take on the Canadian Belt Knife. being Canadian and having grown up around them, Clint Chisan is really nailing them, is using thin stock Magnacut, and his finish work is impeccable. Finally, the exchange rate on our dollar makes it a helluva good deal for you fellas in the US.

Some say a guy who wants a custom knife is a knife snob. Not really. Why wouldn’t someone want to be able to choose every aspect of their knife at the same or lesser price than a knife from MKC?

If I were getting one, it would be like one of these.

Looks awesome, how do you order one? Quick google search and all I see is instagram, which I’m not getting one for just to order a knife.
couldn’t even find a phone number.

Where is the store going to be in Zootown? Im curious how they will have enough stock on hand for a retail store.

If you’re driving in from the west it’s on the south side of 90 by Wye. Sounds like it should have some level of stock on hand according to a buddy that works there. You will also be able to go in and get your knife sharpened there rather than shipping it. For the interim, the RMEF center carries a certain number of their knives on hand if you were looking to handle one in person. That’s where my dad and I got ours.
