I ended up ordering the Schrade. Decent little knife for $11. Opening it one handed with a thumb stud is a bit of a struggle, but closing it is much easier.
This guy LuvThemKnives has tested a lot of TwoSun knives and the HRC rating matches, if you browse his videos you might find the knife you are interested in.
I have a number of Two Suns and I have nothing but good things to say about them. Not exactly budget knives anymore (in my book) but well worth the coin.
Picked up the Pazoda 2. Pleasantly surprised with build quality for the price. Frame lock locks and unlocks nicely. Very sharp out of the box, too. It’s about the same weight as the Schrade (around 49 gram), but smaller.
That’s a Pilar. You can catch them on Amazon that cheap once in a while. Built like a tank. Good knife. Small and Large versions. Been quite a while since I seen it that cheap though.
Well, I like my TwoSun TS51 Curve but I call it TravelChef.
Not a cleaver but close to it. The clip made it a bit difficult to draw the knife so I rounded the edge of the lockbar relief and gave it a blue orange peel surface.
Much grippier now.
Btw, I love the detent ramp on the blade, makes playing with the knife more fun. But beware, the rather heavy blade runs so smooth that I managed twice to cut myself a bit
