ALL THINGS BUDGET KNIVES

A large slip joint is always a grin raiser when you open it up.
I have a Boker Magnum Majestic .
Blade Length (cm): 16.2
Blade Thickness (cm): 0.31
Closed Length (cm): 20.30
Overall Length (cm): 36.5
Weight (g): 487g



Not cheap at $43 but a lot of very sharp knife.

I have the G10 version. After a little fine-tuning/tinkering it became one of my favourites.
I’ll try to shoot a couple of pics at the weekend.

Thanks, Beam. That is helpful.

Hoping that many of you on this thread recognize the Kizer (Chinese) brand of knives. Typical arguments aside, they appear to be a producer of high-value products (S35VN steel and bearing pivots in some) at mid-market prices. I'll forego the discussions about whether they are "budget" or not - only you can decide. I own one, finding it to be the best overall valued knife in my collection. Suggest that you check out their products, even if just to get to know of them.

I sent an email to Kizer inquiring into their sketchy website and whether or not any of their unnamed models contained bearing pivots. Wanted to pass along their brief replies: 1.) We are a growing company, undergoing growing pains. The website will definitely be upgraded. 2.) Models KI4455 and KI4431 are just two of the models with the bearing systems.

Thank you. I know HH because I’ve buy some knives in the past. It was better to buy them in Uk than in Italy, that’s absurd! :~

One of our knife stores (probably the best) in the U.K. stocks them Heinnie Haynes a bit over my budget but you didn’t state low budget or higher budget. :bigsmile:
I have to agree that they are very good value, probably more so in the U.S.A., our import duty and taxes put the price up.
I like the anodized or flame coloured titanium and the G10 models as well. Given the number of Chinese knife companies upping the stakes in materials and price, like the knives isti reviews, the Damm, Tiger stripe, K.O., Kevin John as well as Real Steel with their S series, from the full titanium version of the E963 - the S963 at $150 to the Exorsist at $410. also the much more “budget” oriented E and M series at $30 to $35 it’s a rather good time to be a collector of budget knives. :slight_smile:

Hi all, I’m looking for a (budget) pocketable folding knife that has flick mechanism. Basically it should have a latch or something and you release it and the blade would flick out, extending into a full knife.

Would anyone point me into a right direction?

Unless you live in an area where the automatic or switchblade knife is legal, no we can’t.

There are not a lot of manufacturers who make them, and generally they’re quite expensive for what you get.

Companies like Kershaw make a variety of assisted opening knives which assists your opening with a conventional thumbstud or flipper mechanism.

Check bladeplay.com… The Boker Kalashnikov is one of the better budget automatics.

A number of us have a Ganzo G707 .

Thanks Freman, adnj, and jacktheclipper for your help :slight_smile:

My small collection of budget knives.

Small collection but all good models!

A nice selection there, I have a few of those. I didn’t know if I could get on with the SRM 7046 but after a couple of days I began to see that it is a very useful alternative to the more normal drop point, just about every angle and edge is very sharp. Easy to sharpen as well with being all straight edges.
Good wave job on the EL-01.

Probably just my feeble mind, letting stuff flow freely through it like water through a sieve, but I really don't recall encountering this seller on this or the other blade forums.

DoubleKnife.com http://www.doubleknife.com/ WARNING: Clone haters should not visit this site! Seriously!

I enjoyed seeing many different models - shapes, sizes, scales, colors, etc.. Different models than those on AliExpress and FastTech.

Yeh, call me crazy, but I put some knife money at risk and placed an order for several knives, all non-Browning. Suspiciously, my Order # was 61. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Time will tell all!

I’m looking forward to hearing back about your order.

I don’t know if it’s been mentioned before but Exduct have -

In the special limited products for $7.99, a little cheaper than FastTech. At just over £5 I’ve ordered a couple.
Excellent value and a great knife.
