Brand new Seb 21 clone from Ali

How do you like it so far? I love this knife but could never fork over $400 for a knife! I would be terrified I would lose it.

Well, I always loved the design but would never spend 400$ on a knife so I went for the clone.
I love it.

Pros :

Came razor sharp, literally
Really good finish, not a scratch out the box
True Titanium

Cons:

“CR” logo, I would have preferred an “homage” rather than a “counterfeinting” (no “Idaho made” marking though)
The screws can’t be held behind when screwed by the front (back screws don’t have print)
The clip is flimsy, it bends on thick jeans (I made a new one with thick piano wire for deep pocket carry)

For that price, you can’t go wrong !

KutKhemist,
The Reate Horizon D is a clone with multi roll bearing, Ti handle and D2 blade…$50 from DHGate.

The real thing comes with Ti handle and M390 blade for around $400.

Damn have you got a link for that?

Here you go Wrathbringer27,

Noticed the price has gone done under $46.

Some people spend too much time in their cars, I spend too much time modding my knives

How did you round-off the edges of the CF scales?

How did you round-off the edges of the CF scales?

I’ve ground the edges with a rotary tool on a belt grinder with 150 grit sandpaper, sanded the surface 400~~800~~>1200 grit and then I sanded the whole scale with a 1500 grid scotchpad under running water. To make the G10’s grain a bit more visible I used an old scotchpad and some metal polish to remove some of the epoxy but leave the glass fibers intact.

Reate Horizon D clone

How come yours look a bit darker than grey for the handle scales?

The picture of the Reate is lighter than actual.

Hi Paul,

My Small Sebenza clone has also arrived from Aliexpress. Feels good in hand, only a little stiff at first.

I’m checking out Mnandi (sometimes misspelled as Minandi) clones on DHGate, not sure which seller to buy from though. Any recommendation?

I^ve got a Mnandi from AliExpress like 3 years ago for around $40-50, not sure anymore.
It was gritty at first, I had to disassemble it and remove a burr from the lockface.

The wood was a bit fat and not polished very well, I removed and sanded it (1.000 grit) and put it back with thin adhesive tape.
After anodizing the Ti and heat coloring the steel pocket clip to bronze I like it even more and now it’s in my wifes bag as and edc or apple knife

I think I wouldn’t buy this style again:

dhgate.com

Wholesale Cheap Auto Camps - Buy in Bulk on DHgate.com

Buy cheap custom auto camps in bulk here at Dhgate.com. Including sale design mens long sleeve crew neck shirt and golfer t shirts at wholesale prices from auto camps manufacturers. Source discount and high quality products in hundreds of categories...

but rather this new version with the screws on the backside and only a small logo (I’d like a clean one).

dhgate.com

knife-DHgate.com

Bulk wholesale knife from china , discover knife suppliers in the range of quality knife at lowest price.

I’d only buy another one with a titanium clip, the milled steel clip is very firm and not springy like a Ti clip would be, so it’s wise to ask the seller about it.

About which one to buy I’d go for user ratings, 10+ or more are recommended (hard to find at the moment).

Oh, and the knife might be smaller than you think, like a SRM 702 if you have that, definitely smaller thand the SRM 710.
