ALL THINGS BUDGET KNIVES

Notice the plaster on my pinkie. I did that less than a minute after unboxing this very sharp little knife……

A real classic(k)! :wink:

If that is a clone, link please! Sorry about the finger, but if it was a liner lock, your thumb might have been shorter….

I like me a hawksbill or even a wharncliff blade…

I got it from here

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free-shipping-New-C08S-folding-knife-9cr18mov-blade-material-Handle-material-stainless-steel-outdoor-camping-hand/32549686484.html

About $28 when I bought it, it is a bit cheaper now.

You can also just search for C08S on AliExpress (use a few browsers, on Edge I get only one hit and that isn’t the one I bought but on Chrome I get seven hits including mine - as ever with AE I don’t always go by the price, I also check to see which is the most reputable dealer)

Good luck.

Thanks for site and help.

Wow, I was sure that was a real Harpy. It looks very nice. How is the quality/blade play/centering?

cabfrank - it is a beautiful knife and seems very, very well made. The blade is like a work of art and the rest of the knife is gorgeous. There is not the slightest hint of blade play at all. Nothing. There is no lock-rock at all. It is very tight. In terms of centering, yes it is quite well centred - off to the right a fraction, but I’m not sure if that is just to offer some protection for the assymetrical blade (chisel grind). Anyway, I’m not too troubled by centering in any event.

For £17-18 or so it is just a superb, classy knife and very sharp.

Very good to hear. Thanks for the info.

Not in my budget, but Mmmmmmmmm……

Lionsteely and Spydercompany had a love child…

“Spider Lionspy” LOL!! Looks badass tho, but I don’t understand such massive folders.

Someone tried the Shirogorov Kannabis clone? http://www.aliexpress.com/item/NEWEST-RUSSA-knife-95-made-ceramic-ball-bearing-washer-folding-knife-D2-steel-with-titanium-and/32516589612.html
I like the micarta handle and the general shape. There is a little review on reddit. Reddit - Dive into anything

It’s a Long night, the mind races. You Think about your Knife, the only friend who hasn’t betrayed you. The only friend that won’t be dead before sunup.

Eddie Sherman from Seinfeld!! That was hilarious!!
