ALL THINGS BUDGET KNIVES

Maybe also the Terävä Jääkäripuukko, from varusteleka.com.

Solid budget (scandi) knife, available (when in stock!) in 110mm (4.33in) or 140mm (5.5in) blade size, carbon steel or stainless, with sheath or without!

I consider to buy CH3531 cleaver www.aliexpress.com/item/4000252615421.html
Can the specified hardness HRC60 be trusted? Someone here that knows its real HRC?

Check LuvThemKnives YouTube vlog spreadsheet where he test the Rockwell hardness and if the advertised steel are as they say.

Thank you people.
Lots of lovely choices.
Biggest problem is dealers that will… deliver to AUst.
USA freight is usually more than items costs.

I like the Martiini straight Spine, 4+ mm blades mainly.
A great working blade at that size.
But could be a little deeper.(1 1\4 ish inch)
You CAN’T really control a Blade over 6in MAX.
Unless you got grip. Wrists like Garth. Too much leverage.

Over that size I have been using axe. hand forged
around 60yrs ago
Looking at Modern not Gurkha blades. (they great for fighting.)
They have thinner blades. I may get one of them too, with 3 to 4ish mm
blade thickness,
Moulded handle. A good intermediate.
On to dealers hey.

OH.
I’ve got Folders. 2 in, up to 4in.
It’s my fixed one.

Sheath worn out. Knife still gud.
just got wear on blade
Thought I might like a change.

But. Really. If I could get a sheath to suit.
There’s nothing with much improvement,
for what it is/does.
None of those (thank you all) are really. More betterer.
It’s done everything I’ve put it’s blade too. Efficiently. (cutting)
in around 50 yrs.
I carry a 6in, 600grit, Diamond flat pencil steel
for touching up everything I use.
It’s a mini flat blade Butchers steel.
Donkeys yrs old. worn nice and smooth.
Gives great edge to everything it touches…

I have a Buck folding fillet knife. The blade is over 6”. Wickedly sharp right from the factory.

I ordered a CH3504 folding knife on Knives Online Store Suddenly the knife has disappeared from the store and they have deleted all the products. What is going on?

Don’t worry your purchase protection is still valid.

Seller closed their store.

Hey Edgy folk -
I’m on a mini/micro folder kick. Specifically, knives like the Kershaw Pub and Cinder, or the Canku C22 Mini Folding Knife D2. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Vendor Model Description
Canku C09 Mini Droppoint
Canku C10 Mini Droppoint
Canku C11 AL Mini Cleaver
Canku C22 AL Mini Cleaver
Kershaw Cinder
Kershaw Pub
Samior CDT20 Rosewood Mini Cleaver

PS - Gotta love the keyword stuffing. A knife with a 1.2” blade is a “tactical Camping Outdoor EDC Tool Knife”.

I have a handful of them :slight_smile:

More the question, what don’t you have? :slight_smile:

I’m getting ready for the forthcoming post apocalyptic times where the only currency will be folders & fixed blades. :wink:

In that case my future is golden! :smiley:

Isti - thanks. Searching “canku” on your blog doesn’t bring up anything. I’m working my way through the results after searching for “mini”.

Thanks for finding the best new stuff for us :wink:

Edit: This FURA from your blog is a clone of the Kershaw Cinder, with better steel, at a lower price.

This one looks nice, however I can’t see if this is a “true” scandi grind, it seems a bit of a hollow-scandi grind. Maybe if someone has this knife already, could confirm?

I have more than a few of THESE Great little mini knife. Built like a tank. I take the clip off, it just rides in my britches. The damn clips is so tight you can barely get it to clip on your pocket then, good luck getting it off when you want to. Not for heavy duty use. Non locking knife that small is for me super light duty only.

You’re welcome! :slight_smile:
These mini friction folders were released at least 2 years ago on Ali . Canku is just a newcomer rebrander.
You can find them on my blog here

Do you know about a good Aliexpress Store etc. that sells premium kitchen knives with at least D2 steel and HRC over 60?
