    Default C-mon: Monkhouse v. Peter Michel

    Is there any generalized difference between the monkhous and michel c-mons? Is one better than the other? Do they have any different styles? Are they really "handmade"?

    What I have noticed is that the JPM's have the fancier model's with nicer scales... But blade-wise I think you would be hard pressed to tell a true difference... This is of course my own personal experience and opinion with absolutely no proof whatsoever

    I found something online that suggested monkhouse made them and michels imported them to the US but then monkhouse moved here and at some point didn't use michaels anymore. But what you say is consistent with what I was noticing on the bay - the nicer looking ones always seem to be the michaels ones.

    Something to also note is "Carl Monkhouse" and "C-Mon" is not a coincidence
