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