Dang, I like that one better. Looks like I have to give one as a gift.

That Enlan Bee EL-17HT is 90% lovely but the end of it just does not look quite right. I may still have to buy one though

It was references earlier this year in the forum thread 37766 :exmark:
Someone remarked “that handle design looks like the grips I have on my 1911” :evil:

I usually avoid tanto, but this knife passed my radar :cowboy_hat_face:

If you are looking for an assisted blade, the Kershaw Speed Bump 1595G10 is very tough to beat. It will open flipper only or wrist only. It was USA made with Sandvik steel (this is my preferred version and I still carry one years later) blades but is now made in China with a blade made of 8cr13mov and it’s still under $30 delivered.

The best big budget folders that I own are the Lansky Responder, Boker Uolcos and Spyderco Resilience . All are 4 inches or more. All will open with just a flick.

Good knives!

I have a dumb question. What is a “flax” handle made from? I can’t find a lot of info about it. This knife uses it- which I recently got in the mail.

So it’s literally made from Flax fiber huh. When I googled about the only other info I found was a bullet point or two in an Amazon product description. It feels a little like G10, but denser and a bit smoother to the touch. But yeah it looks like it might be micarta made from flax. Thanks!

Just took delivery of two Ganzo G726M Knives. Craftsmanship on both knives are very good. The blade shape is almost identical to the BM Bone Collector. Visually it appears that the 726 ships with PB pivot washers (sure wish my 720’s had them). It also looks like Ganzo got their Axis-type lock right, as it’s not as hard to operate as with the 720. The edge on both knives still need to be touched up but all in all a very good knife.

At FastTech it seems like knives are not available for free shipping to Sweden/Europe
Only option I had on a $9.56 knife was EMS shipping for $24.30
Temporary change/error?

Same thing with me in France… Hopefully I have already quite a collection of Chinese knifes. Look at gearbest instead, they have more and more of them and its even cheaper usually.

Great! $7.53 was a better deal :money_mouth_face:
I also had some GearBest bonus points to pick up and ended up a smarter consumer paying $5.29

[presterjohn]

I posted this on here a day or so ago. It must have been on another thread. It is the same for us in the UK. Postage is around £15.00 now which is over double the price of the average knife they sell. It is a shame as they have the best range generally speaking. Exduct are more expensive and Gearbest still have a pretty small range to choose from. Looks like my hunt for a cheap Enlan Bee EL-04 MCT will have to go on.

Yes I noticed that one. It is sadly considerable more expensive than the Fasttech version. I guess I may have to wait for a sale or something.

Italy too :~ :_(

I really hope it’s just a silly software/web problem.

I solved buying from Gearbest (2 knives) !!

Fasttech, I really hope you will change your shipping cost…

[Freman]

Yes. I noticed that myself. They may be having problems with their postal suppliers.
