I like smaller EDC folder but i would dream of a ganzo with a better steel for a higher price. D2 or VG10 or even s35vn or elmax i would pay like 30-40 dollar for such a ganzo
Navy knives factory is no more. I was buying a couple of K607’s from ExDuct.com and was writing back and forth about how many they had in stock. It turned out they only had one, and refunded me the difference, great service and communication with that store. There statement to me was that the Navy knife factory was closed and after they sold out of Navy knives, there would be no more. Had the same issue at fasttech too…
I like my Ganzos and other copies, but really like the K607 as it is one of the shorter blades with a great handle for bigger hands. More copies of 3” or less blades are what I would like.
There are a lot of enlan below 15$. One of the more expensive enlan of all time was the enlan el08 and it is about 22$ or so. See enlan el17, el10, el04, el01… All of them between 10$ and 16$ and they are the biggest size that enlan makes, the EL series.
There is 2 Enlan knives above $30 that I know, being the EL-01D and the EL-02D, both with 8Cr13MoV damascus blades fpr roughly $35-
Then there’s EL-08 for $23 and the rest is well below $15 and even $10.
At least on Geabest, that’s a good place to get them cheap but you can also pay $100 for it on the bay sometimes, usually that’s just a mistake when adding the price but you can still buy it for that price.
That is. The damascus steel knives from enlan are more expensive (but you can buy the non damascus version of each one for a lot less), but out of damascus, almost all are below of 16$. El08 is another exception, and has an impressive framelock, about 22 - 23$.
In genral you can buy for less than 16$ a lot of enlans.
By the way, for 30$ here in Europe you can not buy nothing, may be in Usa are very cheap brands like ontario, benchmade, cold steel, spyderco… Here is double price or so so.
True, I live in Switzerland, so I know that little fun fact
By the way, the OKC RAT 1’s MSRP was around €100/$100 when introduced, but without a reputation like Spyderco or Benchmade they couldn’t sell it for that price. Instead of making those assisted RAT1/2’s they should have a steel update.
I have about 4 enlan knives and 4 ganzos but i also have cold steel knives that where like 10 dollars extra i was just shocked to see the enlans going for so much lol. Fasttech usually have the best prices! I think when i bought the G704 it was like $17 dollars US but that was years ago and the aussie dollar was better then.
I was actually going to buy this knife the Cold Steel 20LT Tuff Lite Folding Knife its a good price.
But i got this cheaper and it looks cool. But of course its not a folder.
