Is THIS ONE the ‘Land’ you are referring to Blackbeard? I have one of these that should be here tomorrow.
LAND 910 Plus Liner Lock
It says it has a 12C27 stainless steel blade and G10 handles.
12C27 is a Swedish stainless by Sandvik. It is a decent steel too.
Does yours hold an edge pretty good??
I have not seen the ’Ruike P801’ you mentioned… I’ll have to find it & check it out.
Yeah thats the one, it’s a little heavy, but has great action and very sharp, seems to be holding it’s edge pretty good, thumb stud open. The Ruike is a bit more money and is a flipper(Fenix owns Ruike but I think Sanrenmu makes all these)
@ Blackbeard. … Thanks for the mention of Ruike Knives, I checked out their Web Site & they have some interesting knives.
I did find this info on the website interesting. It seems for inquiries & service support the email address is Fenix Light…. see below, copied from Ruike website & pasted here:
I have this Ganzo and its a very good knife with axis lock but the fit and finish is rough, good for the money and the design (stolen from Ontario Rat) but far behind the Sanrenmu Land.
The Land 9103 is easily the best budget knife for the money! This knife is just perfect with excellent steel and should worth much more.
Gocomma knifes I don’t have any but they look like random noname cheap knifes and I really don’t like the design of them.
Sanrenmu = Land = Ruike = Real Steel = OEM for big knife brands
@ Omega_17 … Spend $9.99 on one of the GoCommas we are talking about & I bet you will change your mind real quick.
The fit n’ finish is much better than any of the Ganzos I have & as I have said before…. equal to any of my Benchmades & better than a few of them I am sad to say. Sad because I love my Benchmades… but it is what it is.
There is nothing cheap looking about the GoComma when you are holding it in your hand.
The only thing about the SRM Land 910+ and 9104 that I didn’t like was its weight so I just made cf scales for the 910+ and a single cf front scale for the 9104.
Never gonna do that again, countersinking ball bearings and washers on the inside and the screw head on the outside and then allign all the other holes was way too much work
I wish they’d do a G10 version with a fat G10 front scale though, tough enough for most jobs and much lighter than 2 steel liners, even when skelletonized.
I have a couple of Land 910+'s and I love them. and yes I can see what others have said about the weight but I don't mind it ...I'm never left wondering which pocket it's in !
The go,comma might be worth having a crack at.
I believe flippers aren't the problem for AU customs, the issue might be that it's 'assisted'. It'd be nice if the sellers could disable the feature for us to just re-enable it when they arrive.
I don’t have one, but I have heard the Spyderco is very good.
I have stones, but I rarely use them now.
I have some crock sticks similar to these…
They work well & were relatively cheap compared to the Spyderco.
I have a couple of Lansky kits that I use if I need to reprofile an edge. It works well if you take it slow & pay attention to what your doing.
You can check out YouTube & see some how some people use finer grits of wet/dry sandpaper with great results. I have used this and it also works well.
You will probably laugh, but when I just need to touch up an edge; I just grap a dinner plate that has an unglazed edge on the bottom & use that.
If your not familiar with sharpening, whatever system you choose; the main thing is practice. Get an old kitchen knife & practice with it. Practice holding your chosen angle correctly. Practice until you can make that bad boy hair popping sharp. Then… graduate to your better knives.
Sooner or later you’ll be able to use the bottom edge of a dinner plate to bring back a hair popping edge on any knife.
