ALL THINGS BUDGET KNIVES

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.

Gearbest has currently flash sales on those

Those knives are a bargain at these prices.

Thanks bdpf79, now I’ll spend few bucks more and buy both 9104 and 910+ :person_facepalming: I’m cutting things quite often due to my job requirements, so more than 1 knife will be good investment

It’s always a pleasure to get other people to spend their money :smiley:
You won’t regret it, those are great knives worth 3 times their price (I have all 3).
Let us know what you think of them once you get them.

The 910 range are superb value for money. Just really nice production tolerances, finishing (rounded blade spine etc). Whether you prefer framelock or linerlock will come down to personal preference. I prefer the framelock (9103/9104), it’s heavier but thinner and has a very solid feel.

Harnds Talisman is my favourite budget knife right now but it costs a few bucks more. Sometimes it goes under $20

My knife I ordered from gearbest is taking a world tour without me!

Tracking shows it passed Kazakhstan, Russia, Belarus and now Poland. :laughing:

Maybe its going by train? :stuck_out_tongue:
Which shipping method did you choose?

I dont know what I had chosen but it now says: “Shipping method: Sweden surface mail”. That explains it… :person_facepalming:
So it might be indeed going by train :smiley:

Weird but funny :laughing: .

I tried it. Everything I have tried lately gets denied immediately. Im going to contact my bank

Received 2 knives today, didnt think they had made it through Aussie customs, but, to my surprise they rocked up today
PA83 Browning on the left and CIMA M831 on the right

That cima would be interesting with a better steel. I do not know why they used 5cr…

I might be a bit late to the party but I am very happy with all the OTF’s I bought from these 2 sellers:

https://www.aliexpress.com/store/all-wholesale-products/2337261.html?spm=2114.12010108.0.0.2c0a1fe5eGYQcD

Got these 2 Microtech clones from DHGate, really pleased with them.
Minimal blade play in both directions and great fire action with 100% lock.
I wish I could find a third right in between the dimensions (the UTX70 clone is great to play with but too small for anything serious, and the Ultratech clone is a bit big to be EDCed…)
I found an UTX85 clone but they made it bigger (handle) than th original so it’s nearly as big as my Ultratech clone…

X3, Do you have a link for the little one? It looks so cute

i m searching for a neon/flashy yellow ou green knife.

ystart jin02? but i already have it in black
