I expect it is still the same but anyone with current experience in either country I would like to hear from you. Thanks.
Is this for market research or your edification?

Additionally, Top Ten for what purpose. Stabbing, slashing, prying, multi-use, survival, etc.

Not being hostile, just curious as to the intent, and for a more refined response.

I carry a handful of knives, mostly Benchmade. PX knives from my experience are marketed towards cool, not function. FWIW

Best to you SGM and welcome to the board
