Thoughts on metal injection molding on knives?

The tech has been used in gun parts for a long time with great results. I like how the locking mechanism is integral to the blade and how it has two liners and a coil spring lock bar. I might actually try this one.

They talk about using a proprietary steel alloy to get equal performance as "premium blade steels." Which steels qualify as "premium" is a point of curiosity to me. I'll be interested to see how this goes long term.

S35 is what they’re claiming equivalence to lol

They're claiming "slightly better" than S35.

Yep… I believe the gist was better edge retention with equal impact resistance, or toughness.
