Too much variety and most of them are ugly as heck. So many are made in China...meant to be a throw away, something you lose in the back of your truck wallowing in a wet sheath.
There's a lot of variation with even well known brands. I've got some Boker Plus knives with 440C or AUS-8 steel. Both pretty good but nothing super fancy. I think all the SOG stuff is AUS-8 and at least made in the US or Japan.
I've got a SOG Spec Elite that's not even a year old which is showing a bit of corrosion on the blade and it's hardly ever been used. Sure is fun to open and close though.
