Alternative knive shops to AE, Gearbest, Fasttech ...

Has anyone heard of the site? I can’t find any reviews.

Drooling all over my keyboard- a GREAT find! Thanks Pelic.

Ditto, no records of anything at all about this website.

Website was created in August 2015.


Interestingly, the proprietor, John Li has been selling knives on Aliexpress for the last four years: “[link]”:Shop406444 Store - Amazing products with exclusive discounts on AliExpress

The Aliexpress store is now just a front. He no longer is selling any merchandise there. Instead, he seems to have opened this new store, Hengsheng, and he offers Aliexpress as one of the options for payment.

I suppose this is to provide some measure of buyer assurance to the customer.

DHgate.com has still a good selection of knives and has the same buyer protection like AE

Paypal offers also a buyer protection.

Hi,

Test of this shop in progress :wink:

Ordered last night those knives (shipping to FR : $9.83).
Will soon be processed as i already got this morning a POSTNL tracking number :beer:



some good prices there - thanks

I took the gamble and purchased the following items:


$3.05 - Gerber 342, 65mm blade, 3cr13mov steel, color: dark gray, steel handle, QuickOpening assist, liner lock


$5.33 - Kershaw 3800 folding knife, 53mm blade, 3cr13 steel, nylon fiber handle, liner lock


$8.77 - Kershaw 1730ss, 76mm blade, 8cr17mov steel, bead blast steel handle, SpeedSafe assist, frame lock

+ $7.05 shipping

=

Total: $24.20

I figure on saving over 50% when compared to the next lowest vendor, even after including shipping. :slight_smile:

Now the long wait …

Note: The risk in this deal isn’t non-delivery. Such loss would be covered by Paypal or my AmEx credit card. The risk is that the product delivered is of woefully poor quality. I’m not sure how Paypal or AmEx would treat that situation, because the seller’s terms expressly states that they will reimburse a maximum of 20% of the purchase price in such an instance.

I’m wondering if - on the clone knife “market” - for a specificated clone knife, there can be several manufacturers or one manufacturer/factory that will make all the copies of a specificated knife ?

Good question.

But I really have to go to sleep now…. :weary:

At least the seller is honest about selling counterfeits, and the fact they might get seized at customs

“The knives are mostly imitations, but the quality
is good. If buyers do not like fake goods,
please don’t buy and thus avoid unnecessary disputes.

The seller is not responsible for import customs clearance. If the goods is detained,
the buyer and the seller shall each bear half of the cost”

Took a gamble too. Ordered 3 all on the biggish side. Doubt they have the advertized steels, but I don't think the site is false advertising. Actually, the site seems refreshingly honest about the steels. I just think they have limited info on these. Would be very cool if they were actually as advertised.:

EDIT: I just got an email from the vendor informing me that I have been refunded in full because the Venom was not in stock. Paypal verified that I have been refunded the full amount.

Sounds like a responsive vendor. :slight_smile:

I want to get a Kershaw Amplitude 3.25 3871 & a Kershaw Volt SS 3655.

These are available for purchase on DHgate.com

(I'm providing Amazon links because I know they're real on Amazon.)

Volt on Amazon

Volt on DHgate

On DHgate, are they real, or are they fake?

Fake ones
Regarding the price, you should buy an OEM Amplitude

That's a shame. I thought I found a real bargain.

racoon, those Kershaws are made in China and there is no reason to believe they are not out of the same factory. I think if they were fake they would be a lot cheaper than that.
I bought a CRKT M21 on AE and I am absolutely positive that it is the same knife i would have bought from any “reputable” dealer for 18$ more.

Thanks, Lobster!

Okay, I ordered the Amplitude from DHgate.

(I'll get the Volt some other day.)

And the prices of the two knives that I provided links for have gone up sharply since the time of my order!

Has anyone ordered from sh0142-hk.com ?
If yes - everything OK so far?

I have 5 Knifes in sight :stuck_out_tongue:
