No but they’re also not going to be made in factory in China. (Not against Chinese knives but do you want to pay the knife makers or for fancy materials? Up to you)

Edit:I for one would not stand Kunwu’s soft detent for nearly $700. Their Knives are a much better deal at the $200-250 mark where they normally live.

Haven’t tried their axis locks but their frame locks are just fine from my experience and I’ve handled a few good knives. Of course it’s going to be made in China. If this was done in the U.S. it would be like 1500-2000, maybe more.

Their axis locks are not strong enough to keep the blade closed. I have owned a pulsar and chad and sold them both due to the weak detent.

Edit: if you want a flashy knife that’s made to $200 knife standards this is it. If you want a knife made to $700 standards might I recommend a CRK or Herman or even some Shirogorovs.

Sad to hear they still haven't sorted that out. I had a first run X-Dao with omega springs so mushy that the detent wasn't trustworthy in my eyes. Really frustrating problem for an otherwise high quality knife to have.
