@ Man Without Shadow …. What knife is that please? Link appreciated if you have one. 
You’re welcome! At this price there’s nothing to complain about.
I have the G10 version of this Zieba style front flipper:
A new Brother 1609g knife is listed on gearbest.
I don't know what Spyderco model it is a look-alike of, if any.

It reminds me of the D’ALLARA 3.
Hey,
I have this knife too, and it’s very hard to open!
I think it’s because of the very small flipper tab.
Does yours have the same issue?
Hello
I’ve had the same issue but I was reading about it before I’ve bought it on the bay for $43
The trick is to keep your fingers away from the lockbar. That happens with some framelock folders, the SRM 9103/4 is such an example.
When the finger is out of the way mine flips like a dream, even better after I disassembled it and cleaned out the grease.
The biggest issue I have with it is the clip though, it should be closer to the back of the handle instead if laying over the framelock relief.
This way it’s a real seam catcher which makes it difficult to draw. I’ve sanded away a bit but afterwards I couldn’t get such a nice anodisation.
Maybe it will get a rock pattern someday, right after my SRM 813 has its carbon fiber scale 
It’s a replica of replica of Michael Zieba Gentleman’s G-2 knife With very soft steel.

I have replica from CH Outdoors, named as ZiebR (Zieba Replica) with HSS steel 1.3343 (not ZDP 189, but so close), 62 HRC:

CH Outdoors 3504 Titan Blue S35VN
Swap the blades

Not exactly budget but, a nice knife on Massdrop. Brad Zinker Dogtooth, multiple handle materials available. Lefty version too. $119 and up.
I think I got the affiliate type link removed from the address.
That is a well-built knife!
O rings that’s interesting.
THESE are on sale again at GearBest.
I got one of these several weeks ago & then they sold out. GB just listed them again. I’m hoping they are the same quality as my first one.
In 25+ years of buying knives, this is probably the best deal I have ever run across. This little jewel is one heck of a knife.
The only con is a clip that must be bent in a couple of strategic places to allow it fo function properly. No big deal at all though.
You lose if you miss this one…… .

Thank you. Grabbed a couple. One to keep and one for a gift.
Your welcome. :+1: … I got enough this time to have gifts covered for a while.
Can you show before/after on the bends please?
Thanks!
I grabbed a couple, thanks. If they are as good as the kwaiken version I’ll be more than pleased.
