ALL THINGS BUDGET KNIVES

:laughing:

i tried to quote 2 posts at the same time and failed, my bad

i asked for the f111 size, wait and see

When I want to quote twice I make my first quote, copy it, press “back”, quote the other post and copy in the first quote.
A bit complicated but it’s working.

the answer from the seller for f111 sizes :
Full length: 22.1cm
Blade length: 9.2cm
Handle length: 13cm

too big for me…

…even though I think with this one it’s better to buy the grey one and anodized it yourself…

I’ve got a similar model with a sheepsfoot blade. Don’t know if the steel is real, but it’s a handy little knife that rides unnoticed in my coin/zippo/pocket watch pocket. Too bad it’s a blatant knockoff with the SP logo though.

Mine arrived hair shaving sharp.The best pizza slicing knife I’ve used,the cleaver,I suppose.It was checked,and passed by superviser,in security check in Nice airport as hand luggage,London also.UK legal.

Bought a morakniv companion fixed blade last month because it was on sale for $8. I honestly have no idea what I’ll ever use it for.

I snapped a couple of side by side photos about my growing budget kwaiken collection :

It’s a wonderful knife that you’ll never have to baby. I’ve used my Moras for kitchen tasks, camping, bushcraft, fire-making, yard work, whittling…it just works well. It’s also surprisingly light for a full-sized fixed blade.

Looks great! Almost bought the green one. But decided to get another one first (https://m.gearbest.com/pocket-knives-and-folding-knives/pp_1045265.html?wid=21)
That green one will be my first next knife.

How is the quality? And how does it feel in your hand?

If you mean my copper colored Fura kwaiken (at the bottom) that`s an excellent flipper with a nice fit & finish, it also feels comfortable in my hand. The blade is quite thick (4 mm) considering its width so it`s not my best slicer but I can live with that. I also like the green version. :slight_smile:

I got such a green Fura for my job student. It feels great in the hand, the surface is smooth (bead blasted?) and the green anodization is very even and same on both slabs.
The blade is way too thick though, I’m thinking about asking a knifemaking friend to put a hollow grind on it, even though that would have been easier with the tanto version (hollow straight edge, flat tip).
The new owner likes it but for me the flipping action feels rather portly than solid, the blade is just a bit too heavy for its length.
Some folks may like that though and for less than $30 it’s worth to try.

I would however strongly suggest to right away disassemble the knife to remove titanlium splinters and other dirt.
Especially the grease must go as it just slows down the action.
I’ve added a drop of mineral oil but I assume it runs same well when dry just like my SRM Land 910+.

Oh, is this a copper color? :person_facepalming: :smiley:

I saw the green version on gearbest and assumed that this was the green version.

The copper color looks much better.

Sounds like a great knife!

I’d say the green one looks in real life like the copper on thos pictures.

Here`s another pic which shows the copper color slightly better:

I can only say they do a damn fine job with bead blasting and anodizing on these FURAs.
And I’ve played with that stuff a bit, sometimes it’s not easy to get the same color on both of the slabs.

The blade is thick and heavy but the surface treatment is top notch!

The G10 version of the small fixed blade Sanrenmu. Gorgeous in black with orange G10.

And a new bigger Sanrenmu fixed blade.

The kwaiken böker is beautiful, even the color.
By the way, the kwaiken green fura is with tanto tip too but with other colors. It is an interesting knife for its simplicity in design.

I`m afraid the tanto version of that Fura kwaiken will appear in my collection sooner or later. :slight_smile:
