Cesare Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Ok since no one seems to want to play recognition game; the models were CRKT m21 Kit Carson design Emerson CQC-4K Kershaw OSO sweet M21 is really sturdy for a folder even though the safety lever lockup takes some getting used to had to loosen and then loctite the pivotscrew for a smooth opening The CQC is just a really good folder w the patented Emerson WAVE opening it is fast deployed The OSO sweet is a cheap little bugger with lightning fast opening that I could play with the whole day Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Got Wood? Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Where are you getting these clones? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Chinese sites sell them. Alieexpress, dx.com (I think they still do), exduct. Basically, huge wholesalers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cesare Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Besides the Medford which is lesser quality all are high quality steel well built midtech folders. I mainly bought mine from Samier a well reputed clone maker from Hong Kong. But DHgate or AliExpress or Hong Kong knives on FB all have lots of knives But there is also a shi*^%load of c%#p out there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cesare Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Spydies First one a clone the rest are the real McCoy. 1 Spyderco Rubicon clone Actually not really a clone but a Chinese domestic design with a lot smoother action than the real one which is quite different 2 Spyderco Tenacious Strong workhorse which you don't have to worry about when you use it 3 Spyderco paramilitary black A classic tactical folder 4 Spyderco civilian A ferocious scary folder which require a lot of getting use too before wielding it about. Developed from the Matriarch model especially for LA plain clothes detectives that needed a backup knife. It can be used to grapple, hook cut and slice in the same movement a d is quite a deterrent.

Got Wood? Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Awesome. Never had any knives shipping in from abroad. Is there ever a customs problem? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cesare Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Don't know mate since I live in Sweden : ) What are the laws on knives and sharp objects is in the UK? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
j3T Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 (edited) I once bought a clone from there. Was labeled and sold as S35VN (with matching pricetag). I'm pretty sure it was 9cr13mov or some ######. Definitely didn't hold an edge like it should. So yeah, like all chinese products: what they claim the steel to be is also a huge maybe, maybe not. The Kevin John stuff is decent though. Edited June 16, 2017 by j3T Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shmook Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 (edited) Awesome. Never had any knives shipping in from abroad. Is there ever a customs problem?I've not had any issues in the UK. I also have a matriarch, a clone though. It's a very scary blade. As said, be wary of steels, they are definitely not what they claimed be...

Got Wood? Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 The temptation for an original Ka-Bar is big... but I don't really have any justification for such a large box opener in this office Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cesare Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Justification? It is a beautiful ornament for any garage or toolbox I have a real U.S. M6 bayonet from the Korean War that sits flush on my Marushin m2 carbine. I also could not resist the SOG Agency tribute to CIA operatives in Vietnam series MaCv-sog knives. The black DLC coating is a breath taker. Always liked the traditional fighting knives but if I had a lot of money I would get a Randall model 1 the original fighter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 (edited) Get a ka bar! Or, Ontario knives make a similar model with rubber grip, the SP1 I think. Not that I've looked into it a lot or anything.. Edited for speelz Edited June 16, 2017 by shmook Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Got Wood? Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Bit expensive also considering I don't work outdoors or spend much time out there apart from Airsoft. A glock boot knife is a lot more cost efficient though... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cesare Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 You could buy a knife for coolness factor alone. Or at least I do. But if you need a knife you usually don't need to spend a lot to get a good one. Is it for outdoors use? Fishing hunting camping carpenting? Just bushcraft? I am assuming it is not EDC or self Defense. Best allround knife all categories imho is the Mora knife you just cannot beat that quality for that sum. I am not that fond of the Glock knife. Is it perhaps a knife for a impression in airsoft? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shmook Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Just buy knives. No reason needed. Buy knives. Like a picture of a knife? Buy it. Think you may use a knife once in your whole life? Buy it. Think if you'll buy a knife and never end up using it? Buy it anyway. Knives are awesome and everyone should buy as many as possible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cesare Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Ok Gonna keep bombing this thread until someone asks me to stop Next up are pocketpals These can ride in any pocket and are so light you want know they are there Mil-Tec Necklace Neck knife Got it for free and have never found any use for it it is truly a miniature knife barely larger than my thumb SOG Blink Light ergonomic faster than a auto knife with the assisted opening perfect as a money clip Beretta Bascula Gentleman 2-1/4" Satin Blade, Engraved Cocobolo Wood Onlay Handles A weird slide frame opening knife with nice hand fit Sheffield works Beak folder from turn of the century owned by a friends grandfather who was a sailor Quote Link to post Share on other sites
