ALL THINGS BUDGET KNIVES

Well, order 2 of these little fellas to my address (when they are on sale if you like) and get one back with a cf scale.
I could even include a (simple) pattern and fill it up with gidt epoxy.

Just made some shopping cart coinless keys and included a smiley one one and alien eyes on the other one.
Of course I forgot to take pics before gifting it to my sister and my b-i-law.

The skull didn’t work out so well but I guess I’ll try another one.

wow, yes I see what you mean there. I only have a few frame locks (I’m not really fond of them) but none of mine have a cutout on the other side of the handle like that. That is definitely design flaw IMO. Looks like a high chance of it closing up on you when you grip the handle, pushing the lock bar back off.

On the ones I have gripping it would move the lock bar further in, thus locking even tighter.

And yes he called it a “Front Flipper” !

I think i could manage with the “design flaw” on the 5009 but the knife im looking for is for my 11yr old son so i wouldnt dare give him that.
He is already flicking my 7010 fully with his thumb :smiley:

Still mising a Ganzo 7511 that im wating to arrive. I discovered that I fancy more flippers knives ,especially with ball bearings or roller berings like the ruike.

do you put the spine of the blade on the bottom thing or just hold the knife in midair?

you hold knife midair, its something smaller portable and cheaper then this ones

Hi guys does Aliexpress have any BM Infidel Clones?

Thanks

I stumbled upon these:
Black
Black2

The stock photos are heavily photoshopped so ask for a real one.

Finally got my Ganzo auto. I'm one happy puppy! :D

Anyone know why Gearbest shows “Buy 1 get 1 free” on their current “Outdoor Knives” promotion?
I don’t see how to BoGo anything…

“Haha, made ya look!!”, maybe?

Unno, I didn’t find anything, either.

(Damn, they got me, too.)

Yeah, I figured a bogo deal would make up for their high shipping costs on knives.

The first knife shown in the promo doesn’t even work (GANZO G803 - GY) - it’s full price!

Anyone know of a clone of this? (Boker Lancer)



It’s a “Front Flipper” Reminded me of the Y-START Mini LK5009 that was discussed a few pages back.

Check on Dhgate. More to choose from. 3300, 3350, different blade styles and colours.

A bit like the y-start lk5009 but bigger.

Hi all. My son does some basic hiking and camping. I would like to buy him a full tang fixed blade budget knife. I do not know much about fixed blade knifes, so can anyone provide a few suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Hi, lots of options, depending on your budget, blade length, stainless or not, USA made or not, etc…

On a budget for a very good outdoor knife?

Have a look at the Terävä Jääkäripuukko (made in Finland), available in carbon or stainless, 110mm or 140mm blade length, with leather sheath (or no sheath!)

(may be temporarily out of stock until the next batch is made)

Lots of (good) reviews on Youtube

Good points AgentSteel. I guess budget would be around $30-$40. Blade length 4” - 5”. Stainless steel. Can be manufactured anywhere. Thanks!

I have one. I don’t recommend it particularly.

It has poor ergonomics and doesn’t flip very well. Blade way too thick. Anodizing is thin, was already full of scratches when I got it. The photo above is photoshopped to make color seem amazing … the knife in real life looks nothing like this.
