Ive googled several times and cant come up with anything useful. Only speculation. I probably own every Sanrenmu knife Im interested in but this one. Hopefully this model didnt fall by the wayside when the 9 series folders went out of production.
My favorite type of budget fixed blade is a Mora .
I own two , a high carbon and a stainless .
Here is a picture of my High carbon Mora after I blowtorched the paint off , fileworked the handle and spine , dremeled a finger choil , and forced a patina with vinegar .
And here is a pic of the Mora clipper all around with my ITP SA2 .
Definitely looks full tang. I am interested in this as well. Gorgeous looking knife, and if it lives up to sanrenmu quality, than hot dang! ashuang0371 should be the one to talk to about it!
Ive read nothing but good things about Mora's. They are in the class of knives (like Sanrenmu) that get knife snobs upset and try to justify their much more expensive shelf queens... I mean knives.
