What knife did you get today?

! !

Got this guy today. Haven’t tested yet but feel better in hand than I thought.
4mm thick, 538g without holster.

Nice! :+1:
What’s about the sheath? Do you like that too?

Is that a ganzo parang? I didn’t know they made those. Do they make Khukri’s?

I guess that’s their version of a kukri. I bet it chops.

It’s Ganzo kukri. They has it in their official site but can’t find where to buy so easily, just like ganzo axe that I saw them but miss my chance to buy.

Yeah, I quit like it. Considered it’s budget price.
Sheath is fine. Nylon sheath with mian strap, leg strap and small pouch with diamond sharpener(I don’t think I’ll use it for this kukri) and ferro rod. The nylon strap is quite thin for my liking but should be usable.

My new knife is a

Enso SG2 5.5" Prep Knife

Super lightweight at 3.1 oz.... wicked sharp

That’s one unique looking blade, Boaz!

Thanks for pointing me to this thread.

Here are a couple of my recent arrivals.

Ganzo FH21:

Got a green CJRB Briar today. It gets less attention than the other CJRB knives but for me it is by far the best looking one of the series sofar.

It is bigger than I thought and that makes it a bit too intimidating to carry around as an EDC knife, and even when camping I would hesitate to use it when there is other people around. Still I love the size it has, it feels good in the hand and gives the impression that it can handle tough jobs.

I finished my own knife today. Not too shabby for my first puukko.


I bought the steel, so technically you can’t sue me over posting here :smiley:

Nice job Robin!

Thanks Djozz! Btw I do like the slim profile of the CJRB Briar you bought, it just screams sharp

Tops Fieldcraft 154CM and it’s gorgeous, it’s what I’d call my first proper blade.

Looks nice!

I got my first proper blade in 2008.

Before then, I bought very small junk knives on eBay for just a few dollars a piece.

What was your ‘first’ Raccoon?

A Kershaw Mini Cyclone 1635.

It has been discontinued for a while now so they're tough to find anymore.

Sanrenmu/Land 913 stonewash /w blue accents

This is my first ever knife with ball bearings, loved it out of the box. very smooth, did an initial cleaning and it is even better now.
I highly recommend owning this knife, it comes razor sharp, nothing to improve atm. The weight is far better than expected.

(The opinel was just for opening the package)

If anyone is interested, the knife can be purchased on Aliexpress here:


I think only the metal scales have a frame lock, so please PM the seller or ask other users here before purchasing.

Different color 淘宝网 - 淘!我喜欢

I like the design and the size (a bit on the big side though) but I didn’t like the weight.

30g less is feeling like a different knife to me




The steel front scale is for reference only, I shouldn’t have put it on the picture.

Done another one, too (and gifted it away), I’m wondering why SRM isn’t doing sprint runs like this:



While I don’t love that the design is copied without permission, these are excellent knives at an exceptional value. I have one in G-10 with 12C27. I’ve subjected it to hard use. Sparing any praise that belongs with the original design, fit and finish is on par with knives that cost more than twice as much. The action is very good. Edge retention suggests a decent heat treatment. This knife can easily cut circles around similarly priced knives in 8Cr13Mov.

While this model is reliable and fairly durable, I did end up damaging mine. The clip uses a single screw to attach into a recessed portion of the G-10. I caught it on something hard and bent the clip sideways. It took a chip out of the sidewall of the recess. It still works and keeping the screw tight helps but it can get pushed in that direction with enough force.

Sanrenmu 9201. Rather than build a collection I tried to just get one good knife if possible. Canadian Cutting Edge had this in a top knives of 2020 video.

Technically this isn’t my first knife purchase as I bundled a cheap stainless steel Xanes knife with a Banggood order several months ago.

I was disappointed with a crappy machette that I bought some time ago…

so I got myself the real deal… Tramontina :+1:
