ALL THINGS BUDGET KNIVES

Only have 1 Ganzo/Firebird so far, F7413a, its lightning quick to open with a tiny wrist and/or thumb flick. its a little big for edc but I really like the action, and the one handed closing with the axis lock is a lot of fun. Have a bunch of Kershaws with AO, but you dont really need or miss it with this model. the edge grind is not even on both sides and the centering is a hair off, but its not too bad:

This one looks good (no blue thumbs) :+1:

I have the 742 which is the frame-lock variant (so this 7413x one must be a tad lighter)

Only axis-lock on newer (non auto) Ganzo’s now? I tend to prefer a good old liner or frame lock.

not sure, but this locks up very solidly with a very tiny bit of blade play, also came with a pouch and whistle, very sharp as well. have a ontario rat clone on order also has axis lock.

I finished my review about the Tonife HKT3103 bird and trout knife:

Hello Isti! Thanx for the reviews :+1:
May can I ask you how is the Fallkniven F1 copy ? I have always thinked to buy one…
It’s a real full tang ?

Hi Manx,
The F1 copy is a decent knife for the money. It’s a robust full tang construction and it comes with a good quality sheath. I found the factory edge too obtuse for my taste so I resharpened it to ~40 degrees. That’s the only con I can mention.

I picked up this Ganzo G749. They seem hard to find at a decent price. Fasttech only had the black. Dhgate has all the colors, but they are over priced. I have to say, not only is this very smooth opening and sharp, it’s the most comfortable large folder to clip into my pocket I’ve ever owned. Don’t even know it’s there, and virtually invisible. Awesome knife.

edit… just as I say “fasttech only has the black”, they now have all the colors. I wanted to order the green, but it said discontinued. In stock now

Mine (same version) came from Gearbest. It’s an excellent flipper so I’m also planning to grab the stone washed version when it’s on sale.

Thank you very much, very helpfull :+1:

Please report any good Black Friday deals from sellers that post worldwide at less than insane delivery prices.

Hopefully i will not have spent-up by then.

Thanks.

Just saw this one, looks good to me, and it’s real D2 :slight_smile:

Which shop woukd you recommend to buy the Gerber Strongarm clone (need shipping to Germany)?

I got mine from Aliexpress, do a search with “Fixed Blade Knife” and you should see it in the results. They are around ~20-22€ now. (the store I bought from, does not have it anymore)

It’s not a bad thing to ask the seller to verify the product so they don’t send you one with defects.

Got another sanrenmu today. Perfect size.

Does anyone know where to find the sanrenmu 7010 with carbon fire?

In Adahn’s workshop? :wink:

You mean like this?

Yes that’s the one, thnx!

If they’d just add holes for tip-up carry or make it like the 9103/4 I’d order a 7010 right away.

7103/4 with ball bearings and tip-up would be awesome :wink:
