ALL THINGS BUDGET KNIVES

Clones got cloned? This guy seems really upset about that, hehe. :slight_smile:
What an irony!
Most likely both came from same factory anyway :stuck_out_tongue:

I wouldn’t jump the gun on this information just yet.
If you read through the comments, you’ll find a few people that state that they had the original version of the SRM910+ before they sold them under the LAND brand and it looked like that, so this might just be old SRM stock (and let’s face it, if cloners want to clone a knife, better make a clone of an expensive knife).
While for the most part I do enjoy Jake’s reviews, I think in this particular case he shared his suspicions and wrongly describes them as facts.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he removes this video or make a new video about this in a few days when he’ll actually have the facts

Yes, wait & see, Gearbest’s answer about those supposedly fake knives.

That’s exactly what I was thinking too. It’s most likely still just Sanremu.
Even some more known brand knifemakers sometimes change some detail, material or something … through time.

Sanrenmu had a 910 Plus of this design several years ago. It was discontinued (due to blade length?) and then a ‘Ming Ren’ (?) 910 Plus of identical design appeared on the market.

Was the MingRen a clone? Was MingRen a SRM sub-brand? Or was it simply Sanrenmu continuing to make the same design for another brand since they were no longer interested in branding it themselves? I don’t know. Very hard to get to the bottom of stuff like this in Asia. For sure Sanrenmu make knives for tonnes of brands.

Maybe this is a clone. Maybe it is NOS (new old stock) if the discontinued original 910 Plus. The guy in the video should have gotten his facts together before definitely stating that it’s a clone.

Anyway it looks garbage. Stick to the Land 910+

They could be made at the same factory that makes knives for Ganzo, but I don’t think it’s implausible that they’re being made at a different factory altogether, they copy everything in China, even each others clones.

Good point about the weight reduction. And I also wished the G10 was on both sides too.

Also I think it would have been better if they would have followed the same pattern on the clip side as the button side, instead of making a “bolster” on the clip side…

So I was just thinking I wish they made it in G10 instead, the CF is pretty but I prefer the better “traction” of G10…

…and look what I came across just browsing knives:

Sometimes you get what you wish for! Gonna be hard to resist this at $21.00

Well, after you mentioned that with the bolster it makes the milk sour a bit.
At least they could have followed the line on the front side so that the bolster would have a steeper angle where it meets the G10.

Anyways, Autos are illegal over here so it’s easier to resist. Once I even tried to make CF scales for my G719 but the milling in 3 levels on the scale is too complicated to be worth it, not to mention a full cf front scale…

My next ppurchase will be either this front flipper: or this traditional Hungarian slipjoint:

But I still have this Y-Start LK5013D and this Sanrenmu 7129 Dragon Slayer in the mail…

less than 20$

Your first 3 links resulted in “page not found” but the Dragon Slayer link worked, thanks for sharing that one, I really like the milled G10 scales on it.

I fixed the first three links, however the first link may be infected.

I got a warning from my antivirus, Avast.

Sarcasm?? Maybe I missed something?

.

I have this one…
$22 back before they were discontinued

There’s one on ebay for $32 (last one)

Thanks, I clicked on the first one by accident :person_facepalming:

…but I have been on that site before

Yep, got mine for 10bux on Amazon, then got a few more.

Nice for hacking through melons or squash, mooshing garlic, you name it.

Something about a thickness:

Does somebody have this FURA model? Seems really good with titanium and d2.
If got another fura and i can say they use some serieus good steel on their knives.

If I were into non-assisted flippers, I would be tempted.

http://steelreviews.blogspot.com/2017/12/review-outstanding-fura-titanium.html

Looks nice, steel is nice, but very very thick blade - not very good slicer it seems, with such thickness behind the edge it is almost like an axe profile. All Fura I have seen were too thick IMHO.

Any recommendations on a good torx bit set. I have several and I don’t know if they are cheap or if the Chinese use metric or what but I can not seem to get the pocket clip off a Ganzo knife. Any help is appreciated.

I love my 7010-LUC knife, fun to flick open. I wouldnt mind a just a tad smaller knife (or same size) with assisted openers. Anyone have ideas? Budget please.
