I really like that TS128. Have had that on my watchlist for a few days now. That is a tough decision. I have a couple other TwoSun knives and they are very very nice. I don’t have any CH knives. I always stick with what I know to be good but, I like trying new stuff too. The struggles.
Anyone having problems ordering from Aliexpress. I have placed two orders now for the same 0456 Ti knife in two different stores and both were cancelled.
No explanation as to why but when I go back to look at the same knife from the same seller again it says can not ship to the US.
I’m using a $5 off coupon also, just wondering if anyone else is having this problem.
I grabbed this Amare knives knife on drop.com for 69USD + shipping 3.50USD. It’s a slip joint designed by Tashi Bharucha but as you may see, strongly inspired by the PPT designed by Fred Perrin, Philippe Perotti and Sacha Thiel.
I always liked my PPT and use it to prepare food when camping so I thought that a bigger version might be handy and more comfortable without a pocket clip
That’s a beauty! Really looks nice closed, too (PHOTO). I’ve been thinking about ease of kitchen utility tools and considering replacement of fixed handle knives with folders like this. It does away with having to have a sheath when drawer stored.
Any knives under 18cm that you guys recommend on Aliexpress? I have a old CRKT that has been my EDC, and I’d like to replace it with something similar in size. I almost bought the Petrified Fish 818, but it’s larger than I want.
How reliable is TwoSun with their blades being exactly what they say they are? I’m seeing S90V knives in the $60 range and it’s making me a little suspicious. Most other S90V knives would be twice that price or higher.
Often there are photoshopped pictures to hide the button or mechanism so it’s hard to tell.
The back spacer locks into the square cutout at the base of the spine of the blade and the side lever lifts the spacer out of the cutout to close the knife (The lock is kinda like that old AG Russel one-hand knife). I don’t see any particular way to manually open the knife (except the side lever might do it but I don’t see how). Maybe look for other listings of the same knife and scour the comments for more hints. Neat looking knife anyway.
Also, there’s a blurry look to the area just next to the lever in some of the pics which leads me to believe they did indeed photoshop the scale to his a button. Also the detent hole in the choil looks like one found on a bunch of Italian-style autos.
