I was about to post the deal here, but I see that scrumpypaul beat me to it long ago. Ive bought dozens of these through the years and have yet to spot or hear of a fake in this model. It still remains by far my favorite EDC knife in this price range and size. IMO, every blade enthusiast should own at least one.
The SRM multitool is forbidden to sale in europe and north america but of-course certain stores don’t care about this restriction. The basic SAK for the same price have lower quality in almost everything. We can trust SRM about the quality of their tools.
As a fan and collector of Victorinox and Wenger knives and the owner of half a dozen SRM knives I find all the above hard to swallow. What is your evidence for any of this?
If you say something like this in the italian knife forum (very I’m hated/mocked because I own a lot of chinese knife) probably you will be banned in a couple of minutes
Likewise - I ordered a G724 on 15/8/15 for delivery to the UK - I’m still waiting for it. I previously ordered a G720 which I received in 20 days. Fasttech and AE are much better with shipping.
Yes nostalgia bias but really the steel is the cheapest, so easy to bend it and break it. Weak lock and cheap plastic. But still very good for the price and quality for something made in swiss. Now higher ranges are different. I like alox serie.
You have Wayyyyyyy more patience than I. I would have canceled and asked for PayPal refund. Sometimes it's worth a little extra bucks to get it sooner. I've heard more and more slow shipping stories about GearBest and I honestly think it will affect MY future purchases from them. It's to the point of them selling stock they DO NOT HAVE... J)
Very pretty, but I do question the 61Rc spec on the description. 8CR13MoV is going to be hard to get that high without some inherent brittleness being left in the blade. Most likely they run 57-59Rc, if not you need to be careful about how you use it to avoid a chipped edge or cracked blade.
If it comes in at 59Rc and is well made I’d say you got a great knife for the money.
