[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 2371241, member: 229"] Sorry, posting from a phone so my posts aren't as detailed as usual. Technically, ESEE doesn't make any knives. They have used several manufacturing companies over the years (TOPS, Rowen, Ontario, BRK, etc.). The Zancudo is a $30 budget folder made in the same factory as the RAT-1 (according to Blade Forums), so quality should be about the same. I hear complaints on both folders about lack of grippy texture, but other than that, they are both top notch budget folders. I'd probably look at the Kershaw injection and Spyderco Tenacious/Persistence first, but if you want another quality budget folder in the mix, the RAT-1 and Zancudo are both supposed to be high-value folders. Oh, and as to the Izula Folder, yeah - I've been waiting a long time on that knife. I can't wait for it. [B][I]Edited:[/I][/B] I was hauling downed tree limbs earlier and didn't have time to realize what you were saying. I just looked it up on the ESEE website and I don't see the Zancudo anywhere, but oddly enough - stamped on the side of the blade is: [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/images.knifecenter.com_thumb_1500x1500_knifecenter_ratknives_images_RCBRKR1DC.jpg[/IMG] Isn't that a hidden E-S-EE in there? Now I'm curious about this - I could swear I saw it listed as an ESEE somewhere (though online retailers miss state things all the time), but the ESEE Knives site is silent on the Zancudo. I know it's listed as being designed by both Mike Perrin and Jeff Randal, but that doesn't necessarily make it a Randal's Adventure Training / ESEE knife - still, the logo then throws me. I'll probably buy the Orange and Digi-Cam one. [/QUOTE]
