What do you think about this budget karambit?, i like a lot! AUS8A

If it’s Chinese made it won’t be AUS 8A. That’s a Japanese steel. It’s probably 8Cr13MoV, which is good as long as it has a good heat treatment.

But the y-start knives are aus8 too, i don’t think that all have a false steel.

It’s easier to print AUS-8A on a knife than to import a Japanese steel. Some more info from this Ebay auction, apparently 1200 made, each individually numbered, and 59 HRC. If you like it Xatu, why not get one?

Because i don’t know if it is a good budget knife or its quality is like a fake chinese knife. But it seems pretty sturdy, full tang and impressive blade.
And, i know that y-start is for fixed knives like enlan etc for folders and they made it with aus8.

I understand your caution. Even Jacky of Exduct said there are fake Sanrenmu etc.

It does look like a sturdy enough little knife.

Not too pricey either.

I just buy it :wink:

No comments, it seems that this karambit hasn’t success.

Did you get it? What are your thoughts?

It’s shipped but still it hasn’t come.
Over the paper it seems good enough. It isn’t a fake or copy from a company, it’s only a chinese product with good price. I hope a thing like Enlan folders and so.
