ALL THINGS BUDGET KNIVES

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:

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

Not as bright as the ones you have listed, but still, flashy enough for my taste LOL! + it’s a good knife.

How about this?

Cute is the right word, I can’t stop fidgetting with it !
I think I was lucky to find it, it’s no longer available on DHGate :-o
This was the sale page

i’m pretty shure this is orange, not yellow or green :laughing:

a green G704 why not, but also already have one in black (since a long time, it’s a good one)

anyone for F111 sold with different sizes ?
