They are a ripoff of Extrema Ratio blades. Kind of a joke among knife guys because of their ridiculous ad campaigns. Go over to bladeforums and do a search.
Stick with the original Extrema Ratio blades. I have an M.P.C. folder and you can't go wrong. Believed by many to be the toughest folding knife in the world. Here are a few threads from bladeforums I found during a quick search, www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=401760&highlight=Dark+Ops www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=384860&highlight=Dark+Ops www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=364405&highlight=Dark+Ops www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=361688&highlight=Dark+Ops ETA Here is Dark Ops ridiculous website, Dork Ops Some of these product descriptions crack me up. Here is the best one, Paul Basal "Shadow" |

They look a lot like those novelty fantasy knives. Even many of Gil Hibbons designs look more practical than some of those.

We all know you can't buy the dark ops knives unless you have an ultra top secret clearance with the Mall ninjas!!
A guy got one before we had gone to Iraq and after a month of using it and braking the blade he went and bought a Ka-bar from the PX. He also spent about $300 on the knife . |

Interesting. Do you know how he broke the blade? |

Hmm, maybe he should have bought a crowbar. Knifes are for cutting not prying. |
