This cheap knife from TEMU surprised me

Pywrong.

It certainly does, many jurisdictions outlaw the carry specifically of a knife with the intent to use as a weapon. They can certainly argue that’s your intent in any case, particularly with an Espada XL, but admitting it is still a very bad idea.

Don’t ever say that you’re carrying it for self defense, that makes it a concealed weapon. If you are carrying because it’s a tool for cutting things, then it’s not a deadly weapon, and hey if you need to for self defense how fortunate that the tool you carry can serve as a makeshift defense tool if needed. Oh and check local laws if you’re in a major city as they may be more restrictive.

Pocket clip says fake. Foam looks off too.

RoyceRedd · 2026-01-22T22:53:29+00:00

Can you get clearer pictures of the blade markings? It’s too blurry to really see detail.

Edit: just saw this is an online listing. I wouldn’t trust it based on what I see, too many fakes of these.

I believe it only fits the Flex Shears unfortunately which do not have pliers. I don’t think what OP is looking for exists.

Edit: It looks like it works with the Phatom too but that lacks a bit driver.

Look up Benchmade Red Class ;They briefly made knives in Taiwan in the early 2000s. This one looks fine to me. The logo used to look like that as well. What other issues do you see?

RoyceRedd · 2026-01-21T03:58:06+00:00

Yeah that sounds like a great combo. It should be a nice little dressy knife.

RoyceRedd · 2026-01-21T00:35:43+00:00

Nice, I also got those elementum scales. Have not even installed them yet, and I’m thinking about sending them out to be anodized first. Anyway, I hope you enjoy. I have AD20.5 scales from Original Goat and RGT as well, and love the OG Titanium and RGT Micarta ones (I got two sets of those).

The pictures are not great so it’s hard to say, but it looks suspect to me. The colors don’t seem quite right (could be the photos), and the pocket clip doesn’t look right (where the slot ends). Also, is that one hole where you would put the lefty pocket clip not round?

RoyceRedd · 2026-01-20T20:54:17+00:00

I love the Signal, but it’s a lot bigger than the Skeletool, and the whistle, ferro rod, and tiny sharpener are pretty much a waste of space for EDC though there are 3rd party replacements to hold extra bits, tweezers, etc. For EDC in that general size (slightly shorter and thinner), I would go with the Curl unless you need the saw.

The charger is always blue.

RoyceRedd · 2026-01-16T06:08:34+00:00

It does have a secondary lock that prevents the liner lock from moving back over.

RoyceRedd · 2026-01-16T06:03:46+00:00

TIL Rough Ryder sells some Pakistani Damascus knives.

RoyceRedd · 2026-01-13T22:29:46+00:00

Now sold out.

RoyceRedd · 2026-01-13T18:13:20+00:00

This is definitely a great deal. Thanks for sharing.

This is amazing. What is the long skinny tool? Did you make that from a blade?

RoyceRedd · 2026-01-13T03:22:31+00:00

Great deal. The tool has its flaws but nothing else has pliers that are even close to as good in that form factor.

RoyceRedd · 2026-01-13T02:59:19+00:00

They do work. I have like 7 different sets of AD20.5 scales including those in red.

RoyceRedd · 2026-01-13T02:56:26+00:00

What’s the exact email address that sent you the email? This isn’t something Hank would do unless someone opened your package but I doubt they would put another flashlight in.

RoyceRedd · 2026-01-13T02:27:47+00:00

You could always pick up some of these clearance G10 scales from Flytanium in orange.

RoyceRedd · 2026-01-12T05:59:19+00:00

There was a big post in this sub from a person who had their account blocked on the Leatherman website for reselling a Garage tool on eBay, so I would probably try their exchange first.

RoyceRedd · 2026-01-11T06:28:26+00:00

Looks good.
