ALL THINGS BUDGET KNIVES

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.

Great little backpack knife.

I like those, I’ll be having some of those next month when my finances recover from the FastTech sale.

I got a couple of those, really like them, useful for the nastier tasks like prying, scraping etc when you don’t want to damage the edge on a decent knife.
They arrive fairly blunt with steep angles . I didn’t bother to sharpen them.

thought i would post this deal.

At very long last, received my first "batch" (6 total) of Sanrenmu and Enlan blades from FastTech.

First impression: Really worth the money!!!

Pros: Exactly as pictured and measured on FastTech; Fit/finish much more than acceptable; Blades not dull out-of-the-box; Individually packaged in retail blister danglers which protected them from each other during shipping; No excessive oils/greases/gunks oozing out of them; Relatively clean surfaces; Mechanically operational; So far, lock-ups are perfectly stable and blades centered.

Cons: A few of them will be disassembled, cleaned and lighly lubed - actions around pivot are either gritty or a bit resistive; Perhaps a few internals may need stoned; May use a fine file or sandpaper to round just one or two sharp liner edges.

Neutral: Most will be sharpened before use.

Verdict: I can think of no "knife-based" reasons to not buy, use and gift these gems!!!!! Exceptional values!!!!!

Sweet. Just bought 2 of those little backpack knives. Kinda hard to think that Aliexpress is going to expand in US if they don’t take paypal :frowning:

I have emailed some of the venders and they have given me some PayPal accounts to pay to after they sent me a bill. not often but it does happen.

They are too big to need PayPal.

Has anybody seen any reviews or feedback about these Chinese Ontario RAT-18868 Folding Knives? I think I want one for $19

I wouldn’t buy them personally. Not aus-8 steel, more like 3cr.

I ordered two after reading this.

That’s $6 less than Amazon. If it is genuine, it seems like a good deal.

Genuine/original and Aliexpress seems far to be right aka I think that Rat1 is not genuine or again, is veeeery difficoult find some things original on Aliexpress… :wink:

But…if you wanna try, I’ll wait for you report about Rat1 and than will decide if buy it or not from same vendor :bigsmile:

It’s an excellent heavy duty user knife for the money. I can’t certify wether the blade is made of AUS-8 or not but it easily performs at the same level like my 9Cr18MoV or 8Cr13MoV blades from Enlan. I grabbed both of mine HERE.

could probably be certain that they are not aus-8

I can’t comment that. I don’t want to achive the “keyboard metallurgist” title here. :smiley:

Certain sellers mark these ~$19 priced RAT folders as “little defect”. I wanted to be sure about the quality that’s why I ordered both of mine from a reliable seller.

Any reason to believe this seller isn’t selling the same knife as where you bought yours for $24? His is $19.

I wanted a bigger folder so recently ordered the Harnds Viper. It is sitting in my mailbox according to the tracking info. But I’m already having buyers regret because I didn’t get the exact color i wanted so thinking plan B is this $19 Rat1 clone.

I had plenty of pleasant deals with that seller I linked. I don’t know anything about this other cheaper seller.
