This happens when the people who make laws have to much time on their hands. I dont know if there has been some research why they ban these dangerous products but i think most people get stabbed by kitchen type knives…
Nice but at these prices, they could have at least upgraded to 14C28N like they use on their Real Steel or use D2 or something.
At least the 7010 got upgraded a bit but still, quite expensive for what it is.
Hopefully, places like Gearbest or Fasttech would get them at a much more reasonable price but I wouldn’t hold my breath, this might be an exclusive to them, just like the previous 910 exclusive they have.

I’m pretty impressed by the Sandvik steel on my 910+, now need for an update if a Ti version would appear on gb or ft.
I doubt though that it would be lighter as my 96g cf version 
The 7010 Ti would be interesting with a tip-up clip but I guess they’ll never do that…
Hi John.,
The “EU regs” label is to do with shipping, not inspection. The Chinese sellers basically send a large parcel with many orders to, say, the Netherlands and then the individual orders are sent out from there.
Regards,
Paul
Thank`s for the information.
John.
Yes prices are high but note that they charge €28 for an ordinary Land 9103. Same knife is regularly under €14 on Gearbest.
Therefore we can assume the Ti versions would be approx 2x cheaper if an Asian store like GB/FT could stock them.
It will be unfortunate if these are Europe-only exclusives. I would have thought that Chinese manufacturers don’t really respect exclusivity deals anyway, they sell to whoever pays.
Anybody know how to suggest to Gearbest that they try to stock these? (ie that they contact their supplier and inquire about it). I tried once with another knife but due to language barrier they had no idea what I was asking.
Where is the best place to buy otf double action knifes?
Yes, you can try what John just suggested above. I did that in the past for the Sanrenmu 9047 and they never got it.
You can also try to open a ticket and ask there.
On Fasttech, it’s a bit easier as they have a section dedicated to product requests.
The reason I mentioned that we might never see them as they might be European exclusives is because I did this on both FT and GB for their 910 exclusive a couple of months ago and they never got them, but it wouldn’t hurt to try.
Aliexpress, DHGate
Usually their search engine is kinda crap.
If you know the name of the clone you’re looking for, you might have a better chance to find them, like for example Troodon
They also tend to often put random names so it makes it harder for the original manufacturers to find them, so random searches usually lead to goof finds.
Here’s a cheap one that I found by entering another model “Scarab”

I know Fasttech has a couple as well
I bought these 2 from them a couple of years ago and they are quite good, they might have more now, you’ll need to search

You can see my video of both of these knives here
I'll be "praying" for you, Canada. Knives are actually my primary hobby and side-job, so this news about my poor Canadian brothers being misgoverned really upset me. We have a number of talented knifemakers and hobbyists whose small corner of the world contributes nothing to crime statistics and little financial impact; why any large gov't body has the time to fiddle with this amongst war and politics is beyond me.
In the meantime, my hope is that this import restriction will light the needed fire under some Canadian butts to start making knives!!! Whether CNC or manual, there is still plenty of room left in this industry, especially in Canada. Pay the good Canadian men and women who make them, and nevermind importation laws.

Thanks for your support Jake.
Thankfully, this will not affect the knife industry in general, whether it be Canadian custom knife makers like Grimsmo or Production manufacturers like Spyderco or Benchmade as the knives ARE legal and can be purchased at any Canadian retail store without issues.
Who this will affect is the average Joe that wants to import the knife from outside Canada in order to save a buck and that will be stopped by these bureaucrats under some ridiculous interpretations of the actual law.
Thank you bdpf79 I will check these out . I really enjoyed your video also .
I’ve done the ticket thing before and they couldn’t understand what I was asking. They kept asking for a link to the product page on Gearbest.
There must be someone who is in charge of making purchasing/stock decisions and this person would presumably have a direct contact to Sanrenmu factory or distributor. But I think there is too many layers and language barriers to forward a stock suggestion to this person(s).
I am located in CONUS. How is everyone paying for your orders on dhgate and aliexpress. I want to use PayPal, but its not an option. I have only had one order go through using privacy.com with a burner card. I have 8 orders that I can’t complete until I find a safer option to pay.
Yeah, AE and DHG don’t take PP.
I think at one point they were taking Escrow and AliPay (similar to PP) but not sure if they still do it.
I have placed many orders on both these websites using CC and never had an issue. These are well-known and strong suppliers, especially AE.
If you’re still not comfortable, you could still use services like Entropay to create a virtual Visa card and use that. Pretty sure the service is free.
I would say even if a seller takes PayPal, just use another payment method. I tried to buy a T12 soldering station kit and used PayPal and the order was cancelled by Aliexpress for some reason having to do with the new member coupon. The seller didn’t seem to understand the situation and I had to open a PayPal dispute since the money went directly to the seller and they have not issued a refund.
Agree, if you go outside of their methods of payment, AE or DHG will do nothing (nor will Ebay), but otherwise, they have very good buyer’s protection (very similar to Ebay).
Hi people. I’ve been visiting this forum for some time. It has been very helpful with budget EDC flashlights. Now I’m in search for some budget EDC knife/knives. What do you think about these 3 knives: Sanrenmu c97, Sanrenmu 7010 and Sanrenmu LAND 910 Plus? I love 7010, but I’m lefty, I guess it will feel a bit awkward holding it in left hand because pocket clip can’t be mounted on the opposite side, that’s why I stumbled across LAND 910 Plus which has option for moving pocket clip on the opposite side, but i see that 910 Plus is using different type of blade steel (12C27) than the 7010 and c97…Should I buy 910 Plus, is it good knife? Will 7010 be awkward to hold in left hand? This is my first time I’m interested in EDC knives, so I don’t know much about them…I’ll be using these knives for cutting paper, plastic, ropes, etc…nothing really abusive…
I think that pretty much everyone here will agree that the Sanrenmu Land 910 +, 9103 and 9104 are the best budget knives you can buy in this price range,
I personally prefer the 9103 and 9104 as they are slimmer due to being frame locks but the 910+ has G10 handles and will be grippier.
They run on ball bearings and 12C27 steel is much better than the 8CR13MOV found on the 7010.
