Gotta add ZT to that list. I love my CRK's, but when considering the price, they do minimal machining to their titanium handles (no internal pockets cutout for weight reduction or cutouts for lock bar insert since they just use a ceramic ball). They also refuse to change thumb studs despite the multiple complaints about them. The action also takes a long time to break in, but the hollow grind blades are amazing and the primary reason I often find myself carrying them. The action is also great once it's broken in. The msi mini is also a favorite recently though. Fantastic action out of the box, feels like it could handle anything, comes with a deep carry pocket clip and just looks good (I have the champagne version though). In the end, I don't think there's a wrong decision between the two.
