The market here in Asia is flush with knockoffs since original US Brands cost pretty significant. I couldn’t say that for the ACE. I like it grippy. I like its blade thickness. I like it’s balance. I like the cut groove on. The sheath.
I received my Ace through my monthly subscription box (bespoke) roughly 4 months ago. It's been in my EDC setup ever since. Perfect for utility and very lightweight. Belt clip still has perfect retention and the knife shows no signs of failing. I highly recommend this knife to anyone looking for a budget friendly workhorse.
When I bought it I figured it would be a piece of junk. I’ve used it to cut down a few tree about as thick as my leg to see if it would break, I used a rock to baton the trees with the knife. It held its edge through all 4. I’ve butchered ducks, chickens, pigeons, rabbits, and a turkey. It’s got SOG quality and it’s affordable. I dare you to give one to your kid and try to break it with reasonable use. They can’t. Sharpened twice in like a 2 year period
I've had this knife for several months now and it has been amazing. It held a great edge and worked well for EDC as well as a work knife. I made a sheath for it because the one it came with didn't work well for left handed application. Unfortunately while I was hiking I fell on my hip and the blade snapped from the handle. I don't blame the knife because i don't think many knifes could have held up. Overall a great Knife.
