Each to their own, but I have a different take.

I have two RAT 1 knives, one in AUS 8 and one in D2. Even though D2 is often considered to be a "better" steel, in everyday use I see little difference between the two.

When I'm sharpening I can tell that the D2 is harder and the blade stays sharp slightly longer, but in every day use there isn't much difference between them for me other than the D2 being more prone to rust.

It is good to know, but it can also be misleading, especially to those who don't know the difference between different knife steel options. D2 does have better edge retention than budget offerings like AUS8 and 8Cr13MoV, but edge retention isn't the only important factor to consider: It's also more prone to rust, is more brittle, and is more difficult to sharpen. For a budget EDC knife, rust resistance, durability, and ease of sharpening would all be huge benefits, especially to someone buying their first knife, or who didn't know the difference.

Squid is 15.99 also

Both great but the PIET is lighter while the squid is heavier duty and more stout.

I bought one of these on the last sale. It's a cheap, good looking knife but it was in my pocket, the carry clip got caught on something, bent and twisted it, rendering it unusable! I cannot bend and twist the clip back into shape and it's essentially meant I have to throw away the knife. Really disappointing.

Blade is 2.63" in length. It is literally in the product title. Not sure why OP decided to go with the total length on a folding knife since that's mostly irrelevant for state legality. Blade length is much more common and understood for cross-shopping.

Dunno why you got downvoted, it's good to know tidbits like this for people looking for stuff that may be higher quality or have more longevity. That said, I barely use my Benchmade knife that was like $150 lol

In addition to the other excellent response, it's not very easy at all to find a knife with D2 steel made by a respected knife manufacturer in a popular style. Blade steel is important, but people prioritize it so much that they forget about other features that are far more important.

In this case, this knife is made by a good manufacturer, looks good, is very practical, and has a good reviews. That's more important than the blade steel.

Finally, comments like the one we are responding to make it seem like it's easy to find do you two knives for $20 shipped. It's not. The Kubey knife deal had knives with due to steal but they are $25. That's 25% more.

People love to act like nice experts by stating impossible demands. This is a great knife and the only reason to shit on the deal is ego.

oooh a FP Deal... I feel soooo proud...

about the steel which is 8cr13mov i believe... no its not unobtanium but it still decent and also the heat treating plays a part in the hardness of steel plus the softer steel is easier to sharpen, no it wont stay as sharp as long but it also is less prone to chipping and such.. point being there are pros and cons to many things steel included.
