ALL THINGS BUDGET KNIVES

Beam0, ya, that HX axe really ticks all the boxes. And it is around 745g, not too heavy. I can only buy one axe as toy, i picked it although it’s shorter axe.

Thanks for your link for that tactical axe. HX version has a soil digger. Should be more useful for camping. But it’s more expensive.

I am interested with that HX AHTNTEPPOP knife too. It is a long knife that i don’t have yet.

Thanks! Now it makes sense!

I see Gearbest also sells that one but a much higher price!

I see Gearbest has another version scissor-knife… “Dogfish” Tactical Scissors:

GJ - 05 DOGFISH D2 Steel Scissors Knife

Thanks, I see that one has the storage place for the pin but on the “Tiger Teeth” folder I posted I can’t see anywhere where the pin is stored.
Yeah I thought it was you that posted that Bastard Halibut before, I see it’s a much better price at Gearbest too.

I really like that Bastard Halibut but I fear of loosing the pin/wrench if you accidentally drop while inserting it, especially out in woods or grass. Is there only one pin with it or does it come with an extra?

I have one knife with a lock pin, a clone of the Extrema Ratio 185° RAO, (ridiculously large heavy duty folder!) The pin is attached to the laynyard.

The pin is threaded on the end and screwed into place, the lanyard is a stretchy elastic material that also serves as a retention strap when pinned open.

I might sell that one and get the RAO II clone that’s out now:

The “Tiger Teeth” doesn’t come with a locking pin.

The Halibut comes with one pin / torx tool. In case you loose it you can easily replace it with a bent nail for example.

That RAO II looks nice and its blade shape seems more practical than its predecessor.

Any ideas for a ball bearing small folder i can sit&flick with? I rather stay under 6” total length of knife. As “budgety” as possible please.
Frame or liner lock.

!!

Sanrenmu 7076. No bearings(im no fan of bearings… washers can be just as smooth and stay longer that way. This one had good steel, flips like a dream, and overall good construction.

If you prefer something more fancy than that Sanrenmu you should have a look at these Fura mini cleavers (S35VN blade, titanium frame-lock with ball bearings). I have one of these and it flips like a charm.

I need a knife or knives with deep pocket clip like Ganzo FB7601 has, but knife must be smaller, blade size like 2 or 2 1/2 inches cuz apparently I’m living in a place with pile of hardcore rednecks who see knife as a nuclear weapon and it can maybe cause me some trouble because of those rednecks. Need to be budget knife, no more than $20 price, elegant looking, no lock. Steel type must be 8cr13(14)mov, 12c27 or 440c. I really like my Sanrenmu 7112, I carry it always with me wherever I go, great gentleman knife but pocketclip is not deep carry so knife sticks out a bit, wish they did it with deep carry clip…

I thought rednecks loved knives, guns and beer… :open_mouth:

Lol, you called us all rednecks. Just kidding. I love beer :laughing: . Knife here is called weapon by stupid people, even if you use it for a job…Sheeple are just ignoring a fact that knife is a tool, not a weapon, so every time I carry it in a pocket with pocket clip, it draws much attention, some of them know I carry a knife, some of them asks what that is, then after I tell them it’s a knife, they freak out. Yeah I’m just carrying small 3 inch folding knife to stab some people and then cut some apples afterwards to satisfy my hunger for killing and eating healthy :person_facepalming: I don’t like knife tumbling around in my pocket, pocket clip keeps it at the side of the pocket. Nice, snug and clean…

Today is my lucky day. I receive two beautiful knives(SR and CTSmart) and BLF GT.

For self-defense a better flashlight than a knife :smiley:

Ya, she is so big and dark, might be able to scare some thieves away. :smiley:

I came to this thread tonight to search the CTSmart CT …and your post was my first unread!

How do you like it?

I like it a lot. Simple design, straight shape, very easy to open. CTsmart knife always surprises me. This one seems to be using plastic scale though.

Will be very thankful if someone can recommend me a quality torx bits for these budget knives, don’t wanna strip heads. I will be making my own wooden scales on Sanrenmu knives for some customers. Is this good kit? Can be from any site that is shipping worldwide (GB, Aliexpress, dhgate, etc…)

The Xiaomi Wiha is a good set and is on sale right now.

That is a good brand & set, but this particular set is a specialty screw set, and lacking selection of more Torx sizes for knives. A lot of knives I have use T6 thru T8.

Indeed, and this set has them.
TR6 and TR8 are the same as T6 and T8 but with an extra hole in the middle of the bit. They work just fine on regular torx screws.
