ALL THINGS BUDGET KNIVES

Yeah, sure but I have seen a couple of “offical” Sanrenmu websites the previous years too…

I just know that if it was available on Gearbest, Fasttech etc, they would be ordering higher quantities and for that reason it would surely be a few bucks cheaper.
Plus we would eventually get some flash sales, or I could use some of my points.

It is what it is. If they want to keep the model exclusive to one store, that’s their prerogative. I just won’t buy :stuck_out_tongue:

I am too…

Blade Material: 12C27 Stainless Steel, Handle Material: Pure Copper, Weight: 4.9 oz. (144,5 g)
Very well done, with really good working blade and lock action. Just the optic/design of the clip could be a little better.

I’m new here; this is my well-loved, much-abused Sanrenmu 7010 alongside my BLF348.
I generally EDC this combo and I really like it. If only the 348 had a lower mode…



I bought the 7010 because I wanted a frame-locking folder that I wouldn’t mourn to much if it was broken or lost and it serves that need perfectly :slight_smile:

What a beauty … I just bought one from LLB.

Many Thanks for posting.

There will be no regrets.

:innocent:

Cheers!

Enlan EW148, the key chain folder of the year! :slight_smile: More pics here.

Next to the Sanrenmu 710 / 7010:

Sanrenmu Land 8103/8104 :wink:

@maba So what’s your impression of the 810 series?

Pricing seems to be a bit on the strange side considering that you can get the bigger 910 series with better steel and ball bearings (not always a plus in my book) for $12-$14 atm.

Looks a lot like the Ruike Hummingbird, even the engraving on the front scale.

Edit: it’s RIKE, not Ruike

Haha, I said nearly the same on Isti’s blog.

Maybe they came from the same factory :wink:

My new review, the D2 revolution of Ganzo:

Review: http://chinese-knives.blogspot.com/2018/10/review-ganzo-firebird-fh11-gb.html

Benchmade’s Axis lock patent is expired. Anyone can legally use this design now, however, many Chinese manufacturers were using it before the patent expired.

That’s a good news, I love the Axis Lock but would never pay some Benchmade price for a beater EDC knife
I’d like a better steel than my F753M1 though, even for third time the price

Thank you for that review. I have carried this knife daily for the last month. Found it on Amazon for $20.99 before they quickly went up to over $30. On of my favorite Ganzo’s so far.

That first version is hard to find. Now they’re selling the updated version with reversible pocket clip everywhere:

Gonna keep that under sight! Thanks for showing it :+1:

It’s interesting which companies are actually the “same”. I heard Rike manufactures for HX Outdoors.

Oh it’s RIKE, not Ruike.

I didn’t even realize there were two versions when I first got mine. I have the one without the reverse able clip for $21. After I used mine a bit I was going to order another one for my son as a gift and noticed the only ones I could find had the reversible clip option. I grabbed him a black one at $10 more than I paid from the same seller. Now that seller has the black one for $24 and the green one for $30. Both with the reverse able clip option. There are some other sellers that show the one sided clip knife but they are all over $30.
