ALL THINGS BUDGET KNIVES

The Ganzo G7491 and G7492 also comes with a deep carry pocket clip (the middle one):

I also like my Tekut Zero:

I finally gifted me a nice RAT 2 (aus8), pictured below the (counterfeit) RAT 1 (unknown blade steel) that I got before.

The RAT 2 is very lightweight. No surprise here, nice fit & finish, smooth action. The liner lock is thin though :stuck_out_tongue:

i bought a sanrenmu 71010 and the blade doesnt center in the gap when folded.
can i adjust this by screwing or unscrewing the pivot torx screw? (i dont have torx that small yet)

Yes, most of the time this can be adjusted by adjusting the pivot screw.
Make sure the movement of blade stays smooth.

Has anyone from Australia had troubles getting knives from Gearbest into the country?

I know customs can be difficult sometimes and just purchased 2 knives without thinking about whether they might be seized.

Cheers

Hello Guys,

I have been into Cutlery long time mainly in japanese swords which I make.

AISI 1086V
I never though you could buy affordable usable knives for 10 USD, lol this made me start my own collection.

I bought these
Sanrenmu LAND 9103 14USD
HX OUTDOORS ZD004 15USD
GANZO Firebird F7611 13USD
HARNDS CK7006A Blazer 20USD
—————————————————————————

Next ones to buy:
Enlan EL01
INRON NY801
Enlan EL-12

Wow, nice blades you have there! :+1:
How long does it take to finish a sword like that?

If you`re interested in budget folders than you should have a look at the Ganzo FB7601 / FB7603 line too. Axis-lock with ball bearings is a good combo. :slight_smile:

Since i only work on them limited time its not my main job, its a project in the years of making .

I dont like the ganzo so much in terms of appearence,they all look so similar, dont judge me :stuck_out_tongue:
But thanks for the info.

Don’t forget the Ganzo G-753M if you want something slightly smaller

I bought a fixed morakniv companion on amazon for $8. I have no idea what to do with it haha.

Keep it handy for the next zombie invasion!

I find my Moras to be very effective at peeling kiwis :laughing:

Welcome to the new year.
I have a question, is there any post with only coupons for knives?
Thanks and best regards.

Received today, 3 SanRenMu’s (from GB, took 3 weeks to arrive)

  • the tiny 7129 : very thin & lightweight, thumbstuds are tiny so a bit harder to flick open. Looks like a tiny version of the Ruike P801.
  • the beefy Land 9046 : blade is chisel grind (with secondary bevel on the main edge), looks a bit tactical for a utility knife but I like it. Also less heavy than I thought.
  • the small fixed blade 7130 : good too, sheath is plastic but very good retention, absolutely no rattling. In picture I have it compared to the Izula clone (supposedly D2 blade steel but I doubt it :slight_smile: ) which is a little bit thicker, with kydex sheath but bit of rattle inside.

All bevels are good, superb fit & finish as (nearly) always with SRM

I’m also waiting for the Little Dragon (why didn’t they name it that way?).

I’m wondering if the animal will grow on me or if I’ll make a scale for it, carbon fiber maybe to make a featherweight knife.

So after my post in this thread a page or two back I got to wondering where my pocket knife is. I seem to have lost it.
So I after researching blade steel I want to try something with CPM-M4. Any suggestions for a budget knife with that?

“CPM-M4” and “budget knife” are usually not in the same sentence :wink:

If budget knife means $150 then you should get some Benchmade knives for that price.
With free shipping within CONUS.

Lucky basterds, in Europe knives are twice as expensive, that’s why clones work so well around here.

Yea, that’s what Google said too. :smiley:
But I figured if it existed, the people following this thread would know about it.
