ALL THINGS BUDGET KNIVES

Good. Much grippier.
After brushing I polished it on a buffing wheel with white compond for plastic materials.
Without buffing it’s as grippy as aggressive sand blasting (which I dislike).
Also anodizing doesn’t get smudges as quickly as before.
Maybe a new trend soon as it’s really easy to apply.

A co-worker asked me if I wanna do this to all of my Ti knives.
Not too soon but maybe I’ll do it to my TiLock.

Thanks for the heads up on this deal. Your right, E-packet was the only shipping choice at $1.32 for one knife. (I don’t remember how it compares to other orders. But I’ll take your word that it is double. :wink: )

But…. if you add a second knife, the same shipping drops to $0.24. :+1:

I’ve been looking at Giant Mouse Iona and some Civivi knives. Those are my budget knives I really want. Today I carried an Arcform Catalyst and later I carried a Spyderco Tenacious Sprint run.

Hey guys can you link some budget knife (folders and fixed) YouTubers….thanks

Is there a version of this knife that comes with a G10 handle?

There is the 910 Plus . It is slightly larger… The blade is 85mm compared to 82mm for the 9103. Blade steel is advertised the same.

It does have G-10 scales.
.

Thanks!

Sure thing…… :beer:

Ahm, well. The knives have the exact same dimensions, at least the 6 that I had in hands so far.
That means you can interchange the blades from the G10 and the all steel versions with no problems.
But different people are measuring differently.

The G10 version is a bit wider and grippier, better for hard work. The framelock version is slimmer and carries better in the pocket.
The best one, of course, is my 9103CF follow by the 910+CF :wink:

Thanks for that info Adahn!! :+1: . I do not have the 9103’s yet & was only going from the descriptions from GearBest.

If you have them both, I quickly yeild to your in hand observations as being correct. :smiley: . :beer:

Just received Ganzo F759M Delica/Meadowlark clone, took a little over 1 week from GB, that’s gotta be a new record…It is so sharp you almost can’t hear the paper being cut when testing :+1:

I am such a newbie - instead of hoping for a price drop, I should’ve just bought the Land 9103. It has now been discontinued at Gearbest and most other shops. :person_facepalming: :frowning:

No need to have the sad look upon your face like Han, acab! ;-)

I just talked to Gearbest customer service as my order has not been shipped yet.

They were very kind and helpful. They told me the Land 9103 is expected to be restocked again by June 30, 2019.

Ugh, I was going to order it as well, ya snooze ya lose :frowning:

Thanks for this bit of information. But they have told me that many times and the item was never restocked.

In fact, the entire item page has disappeared now.

Several SRM models have been discontinued, not just this one. I guess I am too late. There is a slim chance they may relist 9103 under a different SKU, but who knows…

Oh that's bad! :-( At least I hope they keep their promise this time, so everyone who was lucky enough to order it when it was available to order will eventually get it. Fortunately, June 30 is not too far away to wait but if turns out they lied to me I won't be waiting for any further sorry excuses. I experienced something similar with an Imalent RT35 that was never shipped even though I waited for two months and shipping date was shifted again and again.

Since we're talking about late or no shipping. Has anyone recently ordered these two knives?

I paid for them almost 4 weeks ago but their availability date is being postponed again and again.

I have ordered the M07 a while ago (about 8 weeks?) and received it quickly. This was before they changed shipping contracts and/or options. (It was either free or very cheap shipping, but tracked).

The Enlan M07 is one of the better compact knives out there, very smooth blade movement and no play at all. Nice, secure liner lock. It is a small knife but one of my favorites and it even has G10 handles. I believe after points I paid only a small amount, 4.30 $?

re: SRM
It was common knowledge that SRM has stopped distributing several models. The 9103 was one of them. I should’ve just bought them last week instead of waiting around. Even fasttech won’t stock this one anymore.

Sanrenmu still offers the Land 9103 on their own shop but their price is quite a bit above the Gearbest price.

Apparently, the same happened to the Sanrenmu 4059...

I paid shameless 19 Euros for this little gadget on Amazon DE but I really had to buy it. :-D

I got a bunch of Land 910s and 9103/4 for like €12 shipped back in 2017. :smiley:

I heard from some reps that Sanrenmu’s OEM customers applied pressure to them…. asked them to stop selling such knives as Land 9103

The reason is that a 9103 for €15 makes a Ruike P801 look like bad value. This made Ruike (or similar companies…I do not know exactly who complained) unhappy.

Just what I heard.

Glad you like it. It has been my favorite buy of the year so far.
