ALL THINGS BUDGET KNIVES

Do you see the new fixed knives from Hx outdoors?. I wonder why their new knives are using 440 steel instead of their usual 440C…

I find their knives ugly :confounded: (except 2 or 3 models)

I see GB has listed a $tr0ngärm clone

440C they say :crown: Could be anything from 3Cr13 to 9Cr18…

Now they have made some new models, all with tactic style, a pair are not bad. But with 440 and not 440C.

That knife who knows… i do not buy knives without a brand.

Just searching around on Amazon. Found a Kershaw Chill on sale for $16.95. Not sure if it’s a good deal or not but, it looks like a decent little flipper.

That's the lowest price I could find brand new.

If I didn't only go for knives with metal handles, I'd get a Kershaw Chill.

For that price you must try it!

In my opinion it’s one of the best flippers with standard washers, I only wish they’d make a batch with better steel.

Two new Honey Badger Flippers watching carefully over my two Zebras!

Sanrenmu has finally released large models, it’s about time! I leave you my review of one of those models:

Does anyone know where you can sell your clones, most forums don’t allow the sale of them.
(I apologize if this question has already been addressed somewhere in this thread but it was a little long for me to spend the time searching.)

You can sell clones on BLF.

I assume that would be on the ‘Want to Sell’ forum? I thought that was for lights only.

I have dozens of knives for sale on BLF.

Check out my enormous signature.

It's kinda hard to miss.

Thanks

Important video on Chinese steel knifes.

Big thanks for this video :slight_smile:

Yeah, that goes pretty much in line with what I always though, brands like CH, TwoSun are legit, well known cloners that price their knives accordingly like Green Thorn (and probably Dicoria, Bear Claw, Lovocco, etc…) are legit, cheap $20/$30 clones claiming D2, S35VN, etc… are BS (I still buy them, but not for the steel claimed). It’s common sense if you ask me, but now there is proof.

Usually on the $20 clones with D2 the seller says that in reality its 9Cr18MoV. But I’m surprised that even the heat treatment is perfect on many cheap knifes.
The Ganzo new D2 steel is also real with a amazing 62 rockwell hardness and its very cheap.

Does anyone have a coupon code for a HX OUTDOORS TD-01 … I need a few for Christmas gifts. Great knife.

Just saw the new BROTHER F001 and F002 fixed blades on gearbest… both look good on paper : “440C”, micarta handle slabs, kydex sheath… for ~25$
