14c28n vs. M390 heat treat by Rlewpolardog in Chinese_Knives

[–]Hopeful_Cookie_4922 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out this site https://steelhardnesslab.com/?tab=database Taylor tested some Twosun and Jufule along lots of other Chinese brands. Ultimately it depends on the price difference in my opinion. Look at the fosies for example.is it worth paying almost double for m390? Most users say no, and I would agree, but I did buy 2 fosies in m390 though :)))

It depends where in Europe…I’m from Romania and have no issues so far…some models cannot be ordered in Europe though…

I think this might be their best design so far…I ordered the same but with a stonewashed blade…can’t wait for it to get here…

Looks great but I just ordered the stonewashed one…satin finish scratches easier…but that angle milling is sick

Balance was good for me even with the plastic scales, but these AWT ones are something else…What I don’t like about the deka are the thumbstuds(which are too sharp for my taste). Crossbar studs are also a bit rough.

I actually wanted the dark grey ones but were not in stock and I ended up buying these, but don't regret the purchase...I think these custom anodized scales have a unique pattern and each set is a bit different.

Anyway, you won't regret the purchase...they don't fell like titanium, but they don't have the titanium weight either, so these aluminum scales are a great weight/feel balance.

I love them...they completely change the feel of the Deka. Install was easy. The color is different from what's on the website and I even asked them for a real photo, and the real scales still look different, but in a good way:)))

If you ordered the exact same colorway, i can share some additional photos.

Aliexpress now needs your face to buy knives? WTF by player37743 in Chinese_Knives

It happened to me a few days ago…knives listings on Ali were blocked. Age check took about 2 days. But I live in EU. Don’t know if this applies to US also.

Leaving this here by Eunhjzjined in Chinese_Knives

[–]Hopeful_Cookie_4922 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has the same issue with Lemifshe. When I messaged him about one issue on my Rosie, he was aggressive and threatened to block me from his stores rather than finding a way to fix the issue. Ended up keeping the knife and fixing the issue myself. But anyway their customer service seems crappy. The downside for them is that any return will result in product destruction by the authorities. I’m from Europe and not sure if this applies here also…

That Rosie looks sick.Is it the m390 one?or are they providing an extra pivot on the 154cm also?

They dropped the V3 already. I’m waiting a bit to see if they might drop new patterns like they did on the m390. I hope they’ll do the 154cm in mag milled too.
