ALL THINGS BUDGET KNIVES

[Wrathbringer27]

I was playinh around with my Ganzo G712 and I found out that you can whip the blade out without using the thumb studs!

[cabfrank]

Maybe they are different, and one is smaller?

@beam0

Anyone know why Gearbest has this in 2 seperate listings with 2 different prices? (for the less expensive one the specs show a very slightly shorter blade length)

Ganzo G719-B $13.26

Ganzo G719-B $17.13

Ganzo only shows one version on their site: (same specs of the Gearbest less expensive/shorter blade)

Saw this come up and looks to be a good deal.

Interesting blade. I have experience with Chinese 9CR steel in CRKT knives. I liked the performance.

I’ve found that sometimes Gearbest will list identical items, the only difference being the more expensive listing comes with a pouch or sheath. Hunt for the “Package Contents” section of the item listing, and compare.

@Gunslinger686

Not sure if it’s been mentioned yet or not I haven’t went though all the post ,companies name is SVORD The knife is called a mini peasant , $15-$20 on the bay Black carbon steel the blade is in pretty rough shape when i receive it but after convexing with a mouse pad and some paper then leather strap to a mirror polish incredibly sharp.

In the UK the Svord Peasant is very popular with the Bushcraft community as it is a good sized blade that to an extent at least be used like a fixed blade and is still UK legal (provided you grind off a tiny bit of the pivot end of the blade) Svord use good steel but it is true that they leave a lot of the finishing off to the customer. The mini version like you have also seems to be popular. I have one of the larger ones and at one time carried it as a neck knife.

Yeha I have both,love’em!

If you want a cheap Delica equivalent, try the Byrd Meadowlark. Basically the same knife but with 8Cr13MoV.

Take a look at some of the stores on eBay. Many of the Aliexpress storefronts are on eBay, too.

Store1
Store2

Also, try a search on 9cr18mov. That steel is used almost exclusively by Chinese manufacturers.

Hi guys

http://www.gearbest.com/pocket-knives-and-folding-knives/pp_238101.html

Gearbest have the wood scaled EL-01 (a lovely hard use knife) for just £7.11 delivered ($10.81). They have the black G10 plain edge and combo edge variants for the same price.

Bargain eh?

Oh, forgot to mention, top tip from 8steve88, use a drill chuck to tighten the pivot instead of the very expensive proprietary pivot tool.

Nooooo….since a week ago Fasttech was the only one carrying the 01AB (half serrated), It even costed 35% more ….and I bought it, because i was unable to find it elsewhere…now GB sells them at this super discounted price…. I even got several issues because they told me there where no shipping methods to ship it to my country, and i begged their customer care… :weary: :weary:

Sanrenmu WA751-A1 Multi Functional Army Knife Folding Knife

same as BÖKER Plus Tech-Tool City 4 ?

[bikenber73]

I like it, but for that price I would get a real SAK . Any idea why it is so expensive?

I thought the same thing. The price is way to close to SAK territory.

[bikenber73]

I think it new and few stores carry it, when 20 stores on Alli Express have it in stock then the price should drop.

Thanks for the ‘heads up’, I bought one each of the wood handle and the black handle - couldn’t resist that price for something I’ve only been price watching. Never expected the price boost so soon.

The SanRenMu uses the 12C27 knife steel, a stain resistant alloy (see ZKNIVES Knife Steel FAQ )
The SAK’s X50CrMo is a kitchen knife steel, which also is stain resistant (meaning low rust maintenance and more work on sharpening, see ZKNIVES Kitchen Knife Steel FAQ )
