What knife did you get today?

I picked up this lil hunter from Mike Yurco, an Ohioan who sells some of his wares at the local knife shop. I needed a smaller hunter and was there shopping for a mid size Bark River but I’d looked at this particular blade about 4 months ago and was able to use that to talk them down a very good amount (>30% off the sticker price).

The pins are something I’ve never seen before, begging to be drilled out and have trits installed.

I got THESE TWO today. They are the first knives I have ever ordered from China and to tell the truth I was pleasantly surprised. Shocked really.

I still have to check the edge retention, scope them to see if they are really D2, and check the Rockwell on them…… but what I have seen so far I am impressed.

If they ‘check out’…. I’ll Really Be Impressed!! . :wink:

SanRenMu 710, blackwash version with the meteor/big cat thing. Pleasantly surprised, I thought it would be too heavy but could not let it pass for the price.

I have two of those (black and blackwash) and like them a lot!! :+1:

Might as well add it to both threads (got today & EDC today) since it fits both…

I’ve always disregarded it, I thought of it as knife I would never get because of the weight of the steel framelock. A few quirks aside, I’ve been carrying it more than my 910+, which I love by the way.

Good looking knife, what is it??

Looks to be Forge on Massdrop made by WE! With S35 and by WE a much better deal than usual on Massdrop.

Massdrop x Ferrum Forge Gent

Boro hit the highlights. Designed by FerrumForge & manufactured by WE.

Just under 3” blade, S35VN steel, titanium frame lock with G10 for $80. It really is one of the best deals in the knife world currently.

It’s a smaller knife meant for the EDC crowd. Pic is not mine but to give you an idea of the size vs a Mini-Grip.

Thanks for the info Boro & Kindle. :+1: … I really do like that. Perfect size too. Gotta get one…. :).

EDIT: Got one on the way!! Thanks for sharing guys…. :+1:

That’s funny! I thought it was a fixed blade. Nice and clean looking.

What is this one M W S??

Manly Peak in S90V

I also like mine! :+1:
It represents an incredible value for the money.

Wife……“Why do you need ANOTHER knife?”

Me……“because I’ma gonna kill dem f deer and you are going to gut them”.

Wife….“in your dreams”.

Why is it that woman can’t understand that a 7” Ka-bar is more useful then an 11” blade? :person_facepalming:

So tomorrow, I’m heading to SR knives to check out some 6-7 inch knives. After all, the last time I bought a good knife, I had 2 more inches of hair line……

Ain’t gonna bring those 2”s back. (nor those)

very good

I don’t have experience with gocomma or Gearbest but I have taken the mystery brand tour on Aliexpress. I tried some nice looking knives at that kind of price. Some had decent actions and came relatively sharp. The ones marked “D2” didn’t hold up as well as the known D2 on knives I’ve had from more widely known companies. Most looked good on the outside but upon taking them apart for cleaning and lubrication, a few showed their limitations. For instance, one was missing parts. One had super soft screws that stripped with the pressure of a light breeze. Another had a rusty crease in the steel liner where it meets the scale!

Products for bargain and premium brands are sometimes made in the same factories. Great deals can happen. However, do you expect to get real (and properly heat-treated) D2, 9Cr18Mov, or whatever for only ten bucks (with free international shipping)? Take the Ganzo FH11, which is a standout budget knife with real D2 and G10. It usually goes for $25-30. It’s not just their brand name or their spot on amazon that makes it cost more than twice as much.
