Manufacturing in Asia makes a huge difference in price. I doubt the warranty is the same on the folders so that helps the price too. But even with good steel, it is still just a sharpened piece of metal and are cheap to make in a factory that builds tons of knives everyday and they don't have to pay the guys sharpening the blades $30/hr.
Read up on it a little, you will hear about that factory in Taiwan. They make knoifes for different manufacturers but it is better quality stuff than you will get from any Chinese factory.
