I’ve never had any problems with my Inron knives, that said I have indeed heard bad things when it comes to QC. If the QC was good then it would definitely be well worth that and much more.
How about this one, it’s basically a Spyderco, 440C steel. I believe it’s something like a mix between two different Spydercos. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a scrapped Spyderco design seeing as some Spydies are made in the same Chinese factories as Enlan, SRM, etc.

I do feel like this one could be cheaper, to around $15, but the quality on it is great. Absolutely no blade play for me, sharpest out of the box knife I’ve gotten, and the heat treatment was fine. It’s just a matter of whether or not you want something that looks like a knock-off Spydie, even if it’s not a direct copy of any current models.
There’s also the latest Enlan EL06, it comes with a new steel, 9cr13mov or 440C just with slightly worse corrosion resistance, it looks like it comes with a pretty sweet stonewash finish.

I also saw these recently, they’re Rockstead clones. They’re made with 8cr13mov and are quite large, $18.99 seems like a pretty good price too. I don’t tend to like Chinese knives that copy everything, including the brand name. But Rockstead are super high end knives so I doubt anyone is going to be fooled, at least I hope not:

Finally I’m quite interested in this knife, I can’t find any other information on it but it looks really nice. It’s a huge knife too:

I wish I knew more about that last one, it looks very pretty. :c
