I stumbled upon these:

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.
That’s a shame, most bushcraft blades are in carbon steel :laughing:
Besides, they often have a coating.
Maybe you got a lemon. The 2 Furas I handled were made well. Thick blade stock indeed but this model is the closest to a slicer the Furas got so far.
Check out post 15. One of the best bang for your buck bush-craft knives on the market.
Thanks! Just bought it, as it looks perfect.
I took those photos in my backyard on a rather dark, cloudy day. It looked like that. Light conditions aren’t perfect all the time you just have to live with that.
In a studio environment you could achive better, uniform results but I don’t believe in studio photos because there’s almost zero chance that you will ever see your folder in those perfect artificial light conditions again.
By the way I also ordered another one in grey because I consider this flipper such a good deal. Both of them arrived without any scratches and they flip perfectly. Just my two cents.
They look quite serious in carbon! :+1:
I’m planning to grab a 110mm one in carbon with leather sheath but all of them are out of stock at the moment…
Do they sell these puukkos elsewhere too?
No, they are only sold on varusteleka.com since it’s their custom brand
Just subscribe to the “restock notification” so you know when it’s back in stock (should be a few weeks) 
I picked-up a couple of new budget folders over the last 2 weeks, and I am really impressed with both of them. The top is a Ganzo Firebird F720, and the bottom is a Harnds Talisman. The Ganzo is a large folder with 440c blade steel and an Axis style lock. The Talisman is a large flipper with AUS-8 steel and a liner lock. Both knives came nicely sharpened with solid lock-ups. I am really impressed with the quality of these knives, especially at their price points.
