Gocomma assisted & manual flipper knives

I received my Gocomma knife today!

It's the one with a 7.7cm D2 blade and a G10 handle that was on sale for $9.99

It is the fourth non-assisted flipper that I have owned, and it flips much better than the other three.

My main issue is that the clip is so tight, it's unusable as is.

I might be able to bend it so that it becomes usable.

My other complaint is that the handle is G10, and I prefer metal handles, but I knew this when I ordered it.

Unless I can fix the clip, I cannot carry it.

Overall it is a very good knife for the money.

I wish all non-assisted flippers opened as well as this knife.

EDIT: I bent the clip a little bit with pliers.

Now the clip is usable, but it's not perfect.

It's kinda difficult to clip the knife to my shorts pocket, but I think I will carry this knife anyways.

Great, now I bent the clip too far and it's barely holding onto my shorts pocket!

Is it real D2, as far as you can tell? Also, what kind of lock does it have, the description says “mechanical lock” - whatever that means?

Thanks.

Waiting for a few knives to go off sale so I can use my points.

I would guess that it is a liner lock, but I'm not sure.

I do not know if it is really D2, and I haven't cut anything with it yet.

It’s a liner lock. :+1:

As far as ‘real D2’… not sure. But…. it holds a great edge. I have cut at least 200 feet of various thickness cardboard, hacked on a dry hickory stick, hacked on a pine 2 x 4, cut some rope, cut a bit of meat & fruits, & done some whittling…. it is still shaving sharp & has not been sharpened yet. I’m waiting to see what it takes to dull it. ;).

So at this point, for me; I don’t care what the steel is. It holds a great edge & will cut. :+1:

For $9.99 I still can’t believe this knife…… :open_mouth::slight_smile:

Thanks, teacher - according to your experiences with this steel it is at least a stronger variant than other China steels. I am a recovering knife-hobby enthusiast (I have not had a knife purchase in 2 months now), the cheaper steels I have do not hold the edge as well and, with regular use, need to be sharpened almost weekly.

My pleasure M3CSL. :+1: l
Yep, I had been in “knife collecting recovery” for quite some time until I discovered these Chinese knives (thanks raccoon city… :money_mouth_face: ) in this very thread. For years I bought Benchmade, Case, CRK (Chris Reeve), ESEE, you name it. Along with Customs by Scott Cook, Ed Caffrey, Robert Dark, Wayne Hendrix, Ray Laconico, Michael Morris, Charles Ochs III (Oxs Forge), & Eddie White… to name a few.

Then one day, with an empty wallet & eating Beenie Weenies; I realized I was out of control. :person_facepalming: :person_facepalming: :person_facepalming: yep, triple “facepalm” I was so bad

Anyway… I went cold turkey & did not buy a knife for a few years. I found these Chinese knives, as mentioned; and started getting a few. “So far”… keeping the urge under control. :smiley:

I am frankly amazed by the quality of many of these Chinese knives…. :+1:

And yeah… ’even if’ the steel of this one is not D2, it is a darn good steel. :slight_smile:

Oh, just shut up, alla youse, or else I’m just going to have to buy a few more “spares”…

If the Gocomma knife that has a 8.9cm D2 blade and a G10 handle drops in price to $16 or less, I'll buy it.

(But I don't want to spend $19.)

And Gocomma should come up with model names for their knives!

:+1: . :slight_smile:

“Mr Slicey”.

A sharp knife is easy.
All my pocket knives do that. I use diamond plates.
Normally freehand.
Japanese Kitchen knives I use a sharpener kit with Diamond plates Then Diamond and Ceramic Steels.
Just stand Tomato then press blade on it. NO slicing.
They’ll usually all slide through. Top to bottom.
It’s only practice mate.
as long as you buy 440c steel upwards.
I use a lot of 440c along with D2 for general blades.
With basically VG10 Laminates for all my Kitchen blades.
MY skills don’t call for anything better.
Apart from a coupla Aogami drool blades I bought for perving on.

Buy one of those Blade angle guides from Hocho or others.
It’ll give your arm a memory of the angle to hold for best results after a while.
Then you’ll only need it. and the sharpeners for longer blades.
You tend to drop the angle at tip end on them (longer)if you don’t concentrate.

Have fun.

Thanks Macka17
I have been collecting and sharpening knives for a few years now, but the sharpness level I end up with is typically arm hair popping or cutting paper vertically.
All my steels are indeed 440c or up (except for a few cheap Enlans I have just for fun). Most of my sharpened blades can create circles in paper, even white pages or telephone book paper.

What I have used so far:
whetstones large, freehand
self-made Wicked Edge clone (oil/whetstone)
Lansky
Lansky clone (better IMO)
1K compound
3K compound
6-10K diamond sprays

they can slice tomatoes top to bottom, but not horizontally (no hand holding tomato)

Has anyone here ordered this knife yet?

It has good reviews on Gearbest, and I'd like to know if it "quick opens" like the knives with D2 blades:

It has a 9.6cm 420 blade and a plastic handle:

Somewhere I saw someone saying that Go comma is made by Sanrenmu

M3CSL.

We all sharpen differently.

I stoned mine. water. and oil soaked round axe stone for 50 yrs.
My knives are sharp (even then.) When you can peel a layer of skin off the soft sides of your finger tips.
That included my Puma Prince. Hunters Pal, and Saw blade skinners.
I also taper my cutting edge on working blades.
Tip to 2\3rds down blade I taper angle from around 10\12deg to 20ish. angling out to around 30deg at back 1\3rd to1\4 of cutting edge, for stronger rear working edge without chipping.
Plus had/have a 6in 600grit Diamond steel in belt with a 3in (Oil soaked) Fine. Round Axe stone for touching up in field.

We’d often skin\Dress up to 30 foxes. 20 to 50 rabbits and a goat or two on a night hunt, walking the hills.
When fox were worth money.
Prince and skinner did all night with just a wipe on steel usually.
Roo’s we left. Stinking worm riddled things. or an ear when culling.

Gocomma is a brand and they order products from various OEMs. Some of their knives are clearly manufactured by Sanrenmu.
I would guess they use a variety of knife OEMs. The mall ninja crap above does not look like it was made by SRM.

I’m not a real knife “aficionado” like lots of youse are, but I really do like that 10buk go,comma one.

My one’n’only edc was a small Sanremu, really nice, so it doesn’t surprise me that one replaced the other. :smiley:

I like it a lot too Lightbringer. It holds it’s own against knives costing 20 to 25 times as much too.

It was a BIG WIN finding it…. :+1:

I have this knife. Opening is really fast.
