Looking at the picture, I can see similarities between the FH41 and Shamwari. It isn’t a direct copy. There is a point at which I’d call foul but this doesn’t quite make it. There is an argument that all knives borrow from other knives and there is nothing new under the sun. Still, I’ve got to put that in the “inspired by” category.
As far as the Liong Mah Warrior; I’ve got to rate that a miss (pictured below).
I was just regurgitating what a reviewer had said when I was checking out different FH reviews, it was Metal Complex on youtube, I dont think I could ever afford one of those custom knives lol, and yeah I dont see too much similarity.
I know a lot of people hate on Ganzo and don’t give their stuff a chance, but they are missing out while holding their nose in the air.
I recently found an article about knife steel. Learned a lot! Based on that, I bought a full sized Ka-bar that’s high carbon steel. It doesn’t hold the edge as well as M390 but man… when it’s sharp there is nothing like it
I agree, I have the BK14 - my first “real knife” when i started the knife journey 18 months ago. Its only 1095steel, but it is probably my shaprest blade! (ive put some time into sharpening it though). shocking considering its a coated black blade. shocked me at least. it cuts as well as my .10” thick blades and it is .25” a the spine!
I prefer multitool than a folder. Since pandemic started, I did not go out that often, so I started to carry Victorinox Compact, because I think it’s most simple one. The scissors and large blade are the most used tools for many things around the house. Usually, I carried Victorinox Fieldmaster plus Gerber Suspension to support my daily activities.
