Thank you, very good pointers. I will try that.
Does anyone still sell the little Sanrenmu 605?
Folks, I tried to look for Ganzo auto knives at Gearbest but couldn't find any. Where can I order some online?
I linked a couple of them here and here .
I finished my review about the Fura titanium razor flipper:
extremely helpful! big thanks! will read your articles also :)

Gonna be difficult and expensive I assume…
Thanks, Adahn.
Too bad — the Sanrenmu 605 was one of the best little knives made.
There is a ton of little knife models by Sanrenmu.
What is the best axis lock knife under $20? I like Ganzo FB7603, is it a good knife for this price or is there better one?
Best depends on what kind of knife you want and what you’ll be doing with it.
If by best, you mean good quality and smooth, then for regular EDC tasks, I would say that the Ganzo FB760x and the Y-Start JIN02 are probably some of the best axis locks under $20.
They are both well built and both are very smooth thanks to their bearings.
Thanks bdpf79
By best I mean exactly what you wrote. Ordered Ganzo FB7601, looks a tad nicer to my taste with blue accent and CF scales.
I have the same one. It’s a nice one, you’ll like it.
For me definitively SanRenMu 7063. Best budget axis lock ever :+1:
It’s nice for sure but I wouldn’t consider it the best.
Plus, with a knife this size, I actually find using the axis lock kind of awkward.
I have both the axis and liner lock versions of the 7063 and I actually prefer the liner lock on this one.
I also prefer the liner lock of 7063 but only because I really like its orange color :partying_face: Of all Chinese knives I used, SanRenMu 7063 has most razor like, thin blade, extremely good slicer.
I prefer its big brother, the 9063 (also known as the Real Steel E963) 
You’ll ,not regret to buy the FB7601 for sure
For 20 bucks you’ve got :
- useful blad geomerty with a nice belly
- good steel (it seems, I know nothing about that)
- razor sharp out of the box
- good symmetry of the grinding
- ball bearings !
- great axis lock
- no blade play
- color choice for the G10 scales
- lighten body thanks to the big holes
I use mine daily at work
what are the benefits of axis lock? i have one axis lock knife but prefer one without.
I don’t think that there is any real life benefit to an axis lock, I think it’s more a preference of opening/closing method.
I personally prefer frame locks in general.
