Hi guys, where is the best place to buy these clones?

MicroTech, Benchmade and others….

Thanks

DHGate seems to have the biggest selection - millions of them. I wish OTF were allowed in my country.

Fasttech have some.

Any quality ones recommendations? Most MT I saw were so-so.

Any links to any reputable good sellers?

Also, what is the process of signing up with DHgate?
Does dh take paypal?

6

Check reviews to establish for yourself who the best sellers/products may be. No, PayPal not used.

7

The Vespa and the BAT made versions are considered pretty good ones.

Thanks. Can you suggest best Infidel 3300 versions please?

I wish I could found an affordable UTX 85 clone, I love the look of Microtech minis

For OTF”s I can recommend the seller called allvin,just enter the name into the search box.

DHgate have a good buyer protection very similar to PayPal.
Open an account and sign up for the DHpay option. Use your bank account to transfer cash into your DHpay account via TT. When you want to make a purchase, chose that payment option. It’s the fastest way.

dhgate have some decent OTFs. Avoid the knives in the $1 - $40 category. The handle is made from some crap pot metal/zinc casting with a bit of machining. Very heavy and plenty of blade play.

Probably the best double action one you can get is the Vespa. About $130. Excellent. Photo of mine below. Not a single misfire after several months. http://www.dhgate.com/product/high-quality-vespa-knife-microtech-black/268896823.html#s1-0-1b;searl\|1169292528
Similar to the Combat Troodon. It is a large knife so make sure you are happy with size if for EDC. Search youtube for vespa troodon reviews or something similar.

For about $52 you can get quite a variety of good quality OTFs with aluminium handles. A good single action OTF is the one in the photo below. Search for Halo iv Marfione. It is great. Nice size and light weight. Plenty of suppliers. Typical link: http://www.dhgate.com/product/vespa-marfione-custom-microtech-halo-iv-prototype/375248047.html#s1-2-7b;searl\|0917772833
There is also one apparently made by Ganzo. Search for Ganzo Halo iv. I do not have the Ganzo. The youtube review of the Ganzo pointed out some minor issues. From the photos it also appears to have some holes down the length of the handle. Not a great idea as OTFs can be sensitive to dirt.

If you want something huge, you can get the Halo v clones. These come in three “levels” of quality. There is the Vespa for about $125. The one a step down from that is about $54 and apparently not really much different from the $125 one. I do not have the $125 one. Typical link http://www.dhgate.com/product/microtech-halo-v-tanto-knife-4-6-quot-satin/270423103.html#s1-0-1b;searl\|1972542498
A small step down from that is the one that goes for about $50. If you look at the photos/descriptions the “lower quality” one normally comes with a little tool to open the knife.

Other very decent double action OTFs typical link: http://www.dhgate.com/product/microtech-ultratech-style-double-action-knives/382992398.html#s1-0-1b;searl\|2413364731
I have the “champagne” color one. Very good. Nice size/weight for EDC.

I do not have many Benchmade clones. Only a $30 one and it is rubbish.
