ALL THINGS BUDGET KNIVES

Been carrying the Mordax for 2 weeks. Very fast break in period. Been in front pocket with my phone which has caused some ano to rub off. Ano is weak, but the this knife is the shit! Very happy with it! :sunglasses:

The black one is on the way to me! :slight_smile:

Hello friends. What are your opinion about the new models from SRM (new Sanrenmu)?.

Some of the latest models are overpriced but the quality is very good. The 9202 is similar to a paramilitary 2 with superb quality but I still prefer the Land 155 with ball bearings.

I like more the 1168 model, a bit like a tenacious?. Well, the little 7228 seems me a beauty, it is like a happy folding knife and make me feel happy too.

I hope SRM make new fixed knife too.

Battery Junction had the Ruike 801 on sale during it's black friday sale for 21$ and I had a pair in my cart but got disgusted with Black friday after spending about an hour trying to buy about150$ worth of lights from Armytek who apparently doesn't ship to the United States . Shut my computer off and gave up on the idea of spending anything . totally forgot about the knives .

Now i'm kicking myself ..So dum .

I got one of the newer SRM models. Its the new g10 slipjoint with 12c27 steel. Quality is incredible.

some of the newer srm knives are to high in price but their d2 seems very good.

I don't know about new SRM offerings but I have two Land 910+ knives and have been very impressed ...still going strong

Land is the old brand for big folders from Sanrenmu, but now has another brand, SRM.

SRM has old models from sanrenmu rebranded to SRM but they have new models too never seen until now, with d2 steel some of them…

I like SRM and i will be looking with attention its models.

I got one of Terävä Skrama’s few weeks ago. Fell in love last year when a friend gave me one to try out… awesome tool, cuts like a scalpel and has great balance.

I also got this bad boy in the mail, Master Hunter 3V

Chinese D2 is definitely better than 8Cr13Mov but average edge retention doesn’t live up to the hype. Their Sandvik steels cut nicely, are easy to sharpen, and are more stainless. I’d love to see more 12C27 and 14C28N moving forward.

This store is making nice custom handles in brass, copper or titanium.

Is that for engraving service or to purchase ready-to-install custom scales for a Sanrenmu Land 910?

Just put this on order, should be interesting.

CIVIVI Pintail CPM-S35VN Mircata

I’d say you get the scales for that price when I see that you can pic either titanium or copper.

With the copper being more expensive. Strange world.

Still you can ask the seller, usually they reply quickly-

I tried the srm d2 and I feel that it outperforms the srm 14c28n on edge retention. But I did not do a rope cut test or anything.

I am subscribed to a bunch of gun sites, and EDC sites. This popped up as a special sale one day. Kershaw Grid….$17!

It’s not a bad knife. Not the best blade profile, but it serves my needs.
And what? I’m NOT going to buy it? It was $17 for cryin’ out loud! lol

Eventually I’m going to copper plate the scales, and do a shipwreck patina on them.

So I got my Master Hunter in 3V and it’s a hell of a knife… fully processed 130kg wild boar and it’s still sharp. Not shaving sharp but sharp enough. Seems to loose its initial sharpness and then hold an enge for a long time. The boar was covered in mud and had his winter coat on so I’m really happy with it. Not hard to sharpen either.

Civivi Pintail arrived.

Pintail

Interesting knife. Shorter handle than my beloved para3 and smaller in the pocket but longer blade edge. Surprisingly lightweight, party due to the thin blade stock, which is my only gripe, the tip looks like it could be a tad fine and dainty and the top blade bevel is not quite even on both sides. I want to like this, it feels good, we’ll see how it holds up.

This store is not making scales. I just tried to order. It turns out this is only an engraving service for the scales, which they do not have.
