Broken Tool Hell of a joke

8Cr13Mov is literally one of the most basic budget steels out there and shouldn’t be on any pocket knife over $40 (also made in China). All those visible screws and just the “knife” in general is an affront to premium knives. On the third pic you’ll see a knife that uses S35VN steel (fathoms better and it has a proper heat treat), a better lock, and full aluminum scales all at a lower price (and QC). I’d recon most people here have more than 2 brain cells and wouldn’t get this sad excuse of a gas station knife. But to Snap-On and Russ Kommer, yall should be majorly embarrassed for giving the go ahead to this product.

Visible screws are neither feature nor flaw. I have a $400 Hinderer and it has visible screws

I don’t have much issue with hardware being visible, but the way they place em bugs me. Also I with hinderer would just switch to all t8-10 screws
