ALL THINGS BUDGET KNIVES

Basic model Mora´s are here anywhere betreen under 5$ to maybe some 15$.
This one under 5

what they are asking from these in the US? Just curious :slight_smile:

The one in your photo is about $10 on Amazon.

I think I paid $9 for the slightly larger Companion one, but people were getting them as low as $6 when on sale.

That allround multi-purpose I posted above was $23.

From the land of Sandvik steel, very cool. Morakniv knives look very nice.

Thanks for the heads up on the discount, I got the medium black wharnie, fast shipping, very nice action open & close

Added a little color to some of my titanium knives. The clip on the kershaw leek I made out of a titanium sheet with lots of grinding for shape, sanding and diamond paste polishing.

What are the top 2?

Very nice! I love the colors and shapes.

the honey badger was a little gritty when closing, but dissassembled easily, you only need 1 Torx for pivot despite there being a double sided Torx pivot, the shaft is D shaped thankfully(T8 for pivot T6 for body and clip screws) and cleaned up nicely.

Nice, thanks!

The first one is a Twosun TS21.
The second one is a QSP Woodpecker.
The Woodpecker is hefty chunk of a knife.

Wonderful!

I’d looked at the TS21, but that flipper tab sort of annoys me. Looks a bit “hot” like it would be a poker in the pocket. Are the edges of it chamfered? Btw, nice work on those clips! :+1: :beer:

Its slightly rounded, I dont notice it all in my pocket.

Here’s the Woodpecker if someone is interested.

For less than $50 bucks with titanium handles and a D2 blade on ball bearings the TS21 is hard to beat.
Very well made from what I have observed with the machining.

For anyone interested there are two version’s of the QSP Woodpecker. I think the second version has a few things that might have been tweaked from customer feedback.
I’m not sure as to why the second version, but from some of what I read and youtube that is my guess.
Version 1 is on sale at Whitemountainknives, they also have a 10% off coupon that’s not hard to find with free shipping.

Thanks! That’s an excellent photo—you can really see the detail and it looks like there’s a sufficient chamfer on the edging to keep it from being a hot spot.

The QSP Woodpecker looks sweet! Hopefully I can treat myself to one, someday.

I had caught my eye on the Yon Xanadu brand. They make some interesting knife designs. There’s an YX-650 model very comparable to the TwoSun TS21… However, the one major contrast I noticed was the TS21 weighing 3.9oz while the YX-650 weighs 2oz more! Not good.

If WMK doesn’t sell out of stock of version 1, I’m guessing they will probably discount them even further.
That seems to be the pattern at WMK anyways. If they do and I catch it in time I’ll give everyone a heads up.

TwoSun TS 21:

Overall Length: 202 mm
Blade Thickness: 4 mm
Blade Length: 87 mm

Yon Xanadu YX-650:

Total length: 222mm
Blade thickness: 4.1mm
Blade length: 95mm

To me it’s quite obvious that a longer knife with a wider blade and handle weighs more. It’s just more material…

Received the green CJRB Kicker today. Took me about a dozen attempts before I got a hang of the recoil closing system. I’ll say that I like it more than an Axis style lock that I have tried on a Benchmade, and a Ganzo knife.
