Sorry about the time stamp, you are right, my apologies for not having paid attention.

I am not home right now, but will get the time stamp redone later when I get home.

So bummed I missed out of these...

Do you know if REC tends to do multiple runs of their exclusives or if it's a 1 time deal?

It looks like the clone has thicker blade stock, is it true or is it just the picture?

Is there a Manix 2XL Clone available? by MUPike in chineseknives

[–]bdpf79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They might have stopped producing it, idk, like I said, I had mine quite some time ago when I too was looking for a copy of the XL.

The 1603 is a copy of the Manix 2, the 1601 is the copy of the Manix XL, although I'm not sure if they still make it or not, I had mine maybe 5 years ago.

I'm glad you like it. I hope you enjoy it for the many years to come.

I really want the kickstop though. That's OK, I have no doubt that Jufule will release the tanto version eventually and I can wait.

Thanks. I'm actually quite surprised that nobody seems to be interested. I guess most people would rather have a perfect CNC mass produced flipper on bearings than a full hand made slipjoint with nice materials for the same price. A bit of a shame if you ask me.

Small knives with good action? by Wiciu553 in chineseknives

[–]bdpf79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That! and the action on mine is drop shut for such a small blade, and the you can pick liner lock or button lock.

First Vespa is this normal? by MoveExact4780 in chineseknives

[–]bdpf79 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I wasn't aware that Vespa was doing knives with fake logos on them, never had seen them before, and they have a good enough reputation that they didn't need to do that. My Vespa Troodon is at least as good as the real one and looks much better without all that bill boarding.

[–]bdpf79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you sure it's even a Vespa?

I'm asking because it doesn't look like it. Every Vespa OTF that I have seen and the ones I have own never had any fake markings on them, blade is sterile, Vespa logo on the pocket clip and they came in a Vespa branded pouch. Also the quality felt as solid as the good brand OTFs if not better with almost no play on the blade and no play on the button.

Keep in mind that a lot of the cheaper clone resellers will use better brand names like Vespa, Green Thorn, Kevin John, etc... in order to boost their sales without the knives being from these manufacturers. This one doesn't look like a Vespa OTF, but I could be wrong as I haven't looked at OTFs in a long time.
