got an email from lapolicegear about some new knives from mantis.  I'm curious what the knife guys think about the offerings from this company.  They look overly flashy/sci fi to me but I'm curious if their quality working knives for the price.

It came up over in the knife forums and apparently Mantis isn't (or hasn't) been entirely honest about the pedigree of its materials.

I don't own one, but there are better, more practical, and more reputable knives out there so I don't foresee ever trying one out.

They "are" on the level with other foreign made knives. I personally would take crkt, OCONUS Kershaw or OCONUS Spyderco before I would by a mantis.

Also the owner is this pretty boy reality tv person...

I dunno...

I do want an elvis one though.... Funny thing only design they have that I like and the "owner" dident design it "surprise!"
