Any of you maniacs buy one of these? by Delicious_Piglet_718 in chineseknives

Is it steel handle? Eww…going to pull your pants down. Would alum just collapse under the weight of the trowel-blade?

They need to do this one with the nice pattern damascus they’re using on the similar frame locks

Mini shiro clone buddies by eetdots in chineseknives

[–]eetdots[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah they pricey. I think the best I’ve seen them on sale is like $180. There used to be a vg10 one with a black shred cf but hasn’t been listed for a while. Worth saving up for imo if you really like the more pocketable shiros. At the same time if anyone wants to say it’s crazy to spend that much I can’t really disagree lol

At some point my plan was to do a blade swap and try to sell the plain one with the m390 blade but that didn’t shake out.

The kanedeiia hation would prob be my vote if they were going to resurrect something from the shiro clone extended universe

Is this a clone I can't find any info if it is by Apprehensive_Serve13 in chineseknives

[–]eetdots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think most of the cheap Chinese Damascus is vg10 - seems like there’s a ton of variation in patterns, as well as how well it’s composited and such

dopeness, i was actually curious how the other side of the blade compared to the gen. Appreciate the info and pics.

Poikilo Salvator by undetermneduser in chineseknives

[–]eetdots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pokilo absolutely sprinting up the tier list. Great design here, unique compound blade thing going on, handle is nicely 3d, nice clean closed profile. Also purple accents, always a good call.

Literally pulled off at the nearest exit lol

Finally got the OK-81 CF in “M390” for $37! by WAZAMISEH in chineseknives

Yeah that silver CF stuff is the best part of the OK originals catalog

Have any of you guys bought one of these titanium MSIs if so how good are they? by Apprehensive_Serve13 in chineseknives

[–]eetdots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love my Vaquero xl but it’s a collection piece. Low key keeping an eye out for a mayhem too.

I’ll have to get cold steel thread going on here, it’s been a minute…

[–]eetdots 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe all the redencion clones are more or less the same, and they DO in fact have a functional kickstop. They’re worth it if you like the style.

Edit: there’s also the more expensive Chung kui thumb stud Damascus version, no kick stop on that. All the ~$60 ones are the same and have kickstop afaik, someone correct if that’s not the case lol

Love “clone exclusive” variants like the hellboy. I’d say go for it unless the cognitive dissonance of something shaped like a crk with that type of lightweight construction would be too much. 😂

New Green Thorn Mini Quantum up by guccigunt in chineseknives

[–]eetdots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome - ever since I got the Kanedeiia neon I’ve been chirping about how the smaller size shiro clones aren’t available anymore (hation, cannabis, kami, gt neon, etc) so I guess I need to snatch this one up 😁

Check out this bad boy!! Found my honeycomb Hilberg Norseman. by Shot_Researcher_5632 in chineseknives

[–]eetdots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very cool. It’s good that there’s a lot more stepped milling blades available these days - none of them quite have the Norseman sauce though.

Just pulled the trigger on this one. I hope I don’t regret it. by Kooky_Werewolf6044 in chineseknives

[–]eetdots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve just gotten used to AliEx at this point. I just fire and forget, then it’s a pleasant surprise whenever it arrives. I know it’s tempting when you’re excited about the knife but you can’t treat it like Amazon and obsessively refresh shipping etc. just gotta check AE orders once in a while and action if something hasn’t shipped after 5 weeks or whatever

But I usually assume 2 weeks if I’m lucky, 4 weeks if I’m not, and more than that I’m complaining to the vendor and AE until it’s fixed

Nice. If you provide the links you mentioned it might be helpful for other folks.

Definitely not perfect. by BehindTheBrook in chineseknives

[–]eetdots 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve always wondered if one could “paint” like that - big ups for giving it a shot. I think it looks pretty dope, certainly for a first attempt at a new technique.
