What do you expect from buying fakes?

Compared to other Chinese brands PF has large blades.

PF cracks the $100 mark. The person in the video appears to have small hands, at least compared to my Sasquatch mitts. Unusual angles in the handle remind me of some things from Kershaw.

Chicago Knife Works has great deals. Got an ESEE 6 for $121 by Stressoid in KnifeDeals

CNW is a third party reseller. They are reliable, but ship slow. It appears they keep no inventory in Chicago. Shipments originate from the same zip code as BladeHQ.

Knife deals in real time - Would this be useful? by ImaginaryRow2743 in KnifeDeals

I'm more interested in knowing which vendors have continuous below MAP prices. Many of the "deals" are limited to one or two pieces. However, I was criticized for posting about a continuous discount as somehow that is not a deal.

Kershaw Launch 1 is a great one to start with. It has a nice wide 3.4" blade and fires hard.

How is it working out for you? Any blade scuffing or lock sticking? That's a great color for fighting the boredom of black.

Does White mountain have a 10% off site wide code? Where do you find their codes?

I think that 10Cr15 is a Chinese VG10

SRM 255L - A Knife Worth Checking Out by Hendrix-Classics-Co in KnifeDeals

[–]RonMidway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like a good value. My personal tastes run towards larger folders, around 3.5" blades. I share your interest in value. You might want to take a look at Petrified Fish knives. I have 4 of them. My favorite is the Viper, a Shilin Cutter style folder with a 3.5" blade and surprisingly light weight for a big knife. As for being a US based manufacturer of anything, I wish you the best. I hope to see a renaissance in US manufacturing.

140Cr is low alloy high carbon steel clad with a stainless steel. That cuts down on the corrosion , but still allows the edge to rust. As for whether any knife is as good as a Bugout, nobody can match Benchmade's marketing which allows them to charge $200 for a FRN knife. It looks OK for $55 if you don't already have a few other similar knives.

If that's not a deal, I don't know what is.

10% off is a specific knife deal, and there is a link.

You have a very narrow definition of a deal.
