Alternative knive shops to AE, Gearbest, Fasttech ...

Sounds like a responsive vendor. :slight_smile:

I want to get a Kershaw Amplitude 3.25 3871 & a Kershaw Volt SS 3655.

These are available for purchase on DHgate.com

(I'm providing Amazon links because I know they're real on Amazon.)

Amplitude on Amazon

Volt on Amazon

Volt on DHgate

On DHgate, are they real, or are they fake?

Fake ones
Regarding the price, you should buy an OEM Amplitude

That's a shame. I thought I found a real bargain.

racoon, those Kershaws are made in China and there is no reason to believe they are not out of the same factory. I think if they were fake they would be a lot cheaper than that.
I bought a CRKT M21 on AE and I am absolutely positive that it is the same knife i would have bought from any “reputable” dealer for 18$ more.

Thanks, Lobster!

Okay, I ordered the Amplitude from DHgate.

(I'll get the Volt some other day.)

And the prices of the two knives that I provided links for have gone up sharply since the time of my order!

Has anyone ordered from sh0142-hk.com ?
If yes - everything OK so far?

I have 5 Knifes in sight :stuck_out_tongue:

Still waiting for delivery

I just received a mail from vendor

What kind of problem do you think it can be ? With Chinese customs or european customs ?

Chinese customs.
European customs would send a notice to the addressee.

I received my order from HengSheng today (ordered on 3/30/2016):

                                                                      ![](http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk107/golfrt1/IMG_3074%202%202448%20x%201836.jpg)

Gerber 342, 65mm blade, 3cr13mov steel, steel handle, quick opening, frame lock
Kershaw 1730ss, 76mm blade, 8cr17mov steel, bead blast steel handle, SpeedSafe assist, frame lock
Kershaw 3800 Shuffle, 53mm blade, 3cr13 steel, nylon fiber handle, liner lock

Comments:

Gerber 342: http://www.sh0142-hk.com/gerber-342-steel-shank-quick-opening-match-color-box-p-589.html
Nice, pocketable folding knife. Spring-assisted opening. Sharp, shaved the hairs off the back of my hand when I tested it. Frame lock took a bit of effort on my part to close, somewhat stiff - but manageable with one hand.

Kershaw 1730ss: http://www.sh0142-hk.com/kershaw-1730ss-8cr17mov-allsteel-titanize-oem-p-822.html
Very nice, 76mm blade hits my sweet spot. I like knives 75 to 80mm. Spring-assisted opening, well-balanced, fits my hand well. It came sharp (I lost enough hairs testing my Gerber, so I didn’t repeat that test). Good looking knife, I like it a lot. Negatives: pocket clip is “vise-grips tight” and almost impossible to use. And the frame lock is extraordinarily difficult to open with one hand. Even with two hands, it takes a bit of effort to pry open.

Kershaw 3800 Shuffle: http://www.sh0142-hk.com/kershaw-3800-3cr13-gray-titanium-nylon-fiber-white-box-p-823.html
A small knife with only a 53mm blade, light-weight, very EDC-able. Delivered equally sharp as the others. But I cannot recommend it because it doesn’t lock. The liner lock mechanism is a hair too long (maybe as little as 1 mil too long) to lock in the blade. I’ll have to disassemble the knife and file down the liner lock to get it to work right.

EDIT: Filed down the liner lock, just took a hair off the inside edge of the lock. The Kershaw 3800 Shuffle now works perfectly. Easy, one-hand action to open and close. :slight_smile:

3 bucks? O_o

My thoughts exactly! An assisted knife for 3$ :beer: !

Apparently I do need 6 Knifes now…
Nice to see that this shop actually ships.

Shipping is about $4 per knife where I live. Still pretty good deals though.

Hi guys

I received my Kershaw Amplitude 3.25 3871 from DHgate yesterday.

Shipping took quite a while, and packaging wasn't done very well...

but it's the real deal!

I really like this knife.

That’s lovely RC - what did it cost you?

$18.94
