ALL THINGS BUDGET KNIVES

Big thanks for this video :slight_smile:

Yeah, that goes pretty much in line with what I always though, brands like CH, TwoSun are legit, well known cloners that price their knives accordingly like Green Thorn (and probably Dicoria, Bear Claw, Lovocco, etc…) are legit, cheap $20/$30 clones claiming D2, S35VN, etc… are BS (I still buy them, but not for the steel claimed). It’s common sense if you ask me, but now there is proof.

Usually on the $20 clones with D2 the seller says that in reality its 9Cr18MoV. But I’m surprised that even the heat treatment is perfect on many cheap knifes.
The Ganzo new D2 steel is also real with a amazing 62 rockwell hardness and its very cheap.

Does anyone have a coupon code for a HX OUTDOORS TD-01 … I need a few for Christmas gifts. Great knife.

Just saw the new BROTHER F001 and F002 fixed blades on gearbest… both look good on paper : “440C”, micarta handle slabs, kydex sheath… for ~25$

Hi

anyone tried this one ?
https://www.gearbest.com/pocket-knives-folding-knives/pp_009425635227.html?wid=1433363

native look with linerlock (i don’t like lock back)
any good ? compare to enlan/srm/ganzo in the same prize range

thanks

I’m sorry guys for the (stupid) question but…are you able to buy (again) knives from Gearbest ???
If I click the link or search knives on GB, it tell me “suspended”.
Have GB resolved his problems with knives? I remember it was some mess with the selling of knives…
Thank you!

The link works for me and i received my last GB knife order (a Land 9104) yesterday.

Btw anotherbot i do not understand why you say your link is liner lock as it is written "back lock" in the description and the pictures don't show the liner lock

I have found the answer by myself…Some others italian guys from a Facebook ’s group about Ganzo knives explain me there is a customs dispute between Gearbest and the italian custom….So, at this moment, no one from Italy (so not only me) can buy any kind of knives from GB!
Now we can buy only from DHGate (I do not like it) Aliexpress or Fasttech. But no one can beat GB prices/deals!!
:person_facepalming:

Sorry for you Italian guys, must be something serious so that they decide to block a whole country :person_facepalming:
Do you know any more details about it?

yes Kame Sennin, everything is hidden like the pictures from aliexpress

but you can see the linerlock in the video in comment

I decided to mod my Ganzo F7551 “Cleaver”:

and the result (more pics here):

Looks much better now :+1:

clean work. I love it.

Really cool mod!

CH, TwoSun, Dicoria, MG, and Lovocoo are very nice from solid sellers.

Thank you! :slight_smile:
I could try to give the blade a stone washed finish but I’m not sure about that. Probably I’ll leave this one as it is.

Isti, good job, it remembers me to the HX OUTDOORS ZD - 004 a bit.

As a BENCHMADE loyal customer and EDCer seeing these Axis lock clones is a bit disturbing…

Not a fan of value for money?
