ALL THINGS BUDGET KNIVES

I do. But I like to try different shapes and sizes instead of saving on the grail knife which then wouldn’t satisfy me.

My first expensive (and still the most expensive) knife was a CRK TiLock clone for $140. I use it sometimes but not on a daily basis.

With wife and 2 little kids I prefer a great SRM Land 910+ with selfmade cf scales instead of expensive cutlery.
I just sharpened it and it’s scary how sharp their Sandvik is getting and impressive how well it holds an edge. I paid $11 iirc.

What budget sharpening system is everyone using for their budget knives?

Let us know what knives you ordered

I have not had any problems with standard one handed opening with lock pocket knives with blades up to 4 inches. May have problems with flippers unless pivot tightened to stop flipper working. Self opening/flick will get seized.

I am very happy with fake Edge Pro, fake Wicked Edge and fake Lansky from Aliexpress all with some pros and some cons for different knives - use them on all of my fake clone knives to achieve perfectly satisfying sharpness. :innocent:

I use a clamp and a piece of thick leather to fix the knife on the table with the blade hanging over the edge.
Then I use a medium diamond file followed by a Victorinox Sharpening file.
The knife rest is useful for cooking knives, I plan to upgrade it with rare earth magnets.



After that I use a leather strop with chromium oxide. This setup is enough to sharpen a knife that can whittle hair.

Sorry guys, I do not understand why in daily deals page on GB, the Ganzo G727M-W1 – COLORFUL/wood handle – is on flash sale for the faboulus price of 9,99$ (50% off), but when I click on it, it give me 12,99$ on my cart, so another price…

At 9,99$ I will give it a try.

Same thing here. I don’t know… maybe a glitch

Or maybe thay have forget to put the discount code on the image.
I saw many other knives in offert; they all have a code.

Usually the code is the item code, like S7010LUC-SA for that Sanrenu.

There’s an existing code “G727M-W1” but the system said it’s expired.

I’d say though if you like the knife and want to try it, get it for $13 and remember how easily you spend $30 in your supermarket, not to mention $3

Also be happy that they don’t ask for $7 shipping to your country (which at least is holding me back from ordering too many knives).

These are what I am waiting on arrival

John.

Has it the blazer a weak lock up even with the double lock as i ear?.

Has anybody ordered and received from Gearbest this Sanrenmu Land 910 version with SRM Chinese Logo on blade, three small clip holes, silver thumbstuds, plain lanyard hole, and longer hollow grind? It looks like the older Mingren version but Gearbest does not include the photos of the other side of the blade (intentionally?). :question:

I haven`t heard about that. Mine has a solid lock-up. The liners / liner-lock are quite thick + there`s the “LAWKS” safety feature.

Beautiful and sharp:

Which one is your favourite? :slight_smile:

Difficult question :slight_smile:
For use it is 910 because it slides less in hand.

For viewing hmmm black?
