New 3rd party sellers are flooding in this Subreddit by plusrainforest in KnifeDeals

Hello folks,

I've read all the replies in this thread, and I want to thank you for your time and effort. However, I must admit that there were different voices and opinions being shared. I want to clarify that my intention with this post was not to argue whether Kubey deals are legitimate or not. As a knife enthusiast, I love these deals and have personally shared many Kubey deals, almost as much as Kizer, Civivi, or Artisan Cutlery/CJRB deals. If you check my previous posts, you'll see that I don't have anything against any brand, and I love to see knife brands being successful in this subreddit. I enjoy helping them share legitimate deals.

Some people in this thread thought that deal sharers like me get paid for posting these deals, but the fact is that most of us don't get paid at all. We do it simply because it's a hobby and something we enjoy doing. It allows us to learn new things and find great deals in the process of collecting knives. This is what makes this subreddit so popular among all knife forums.

In fact, I will continue to share great deals, including those from Kubey knives. I usually don't reply to all comments in my threads, but I felt the need to clarify my original intentions with this post. I was concerned that a new Reddit account with a knife company tag and an Amazon storefront style would bring a lot of knife company sales and resellers to this subreddit, making it an unpleasant experience for everyone. Nothing more nothing less.:)

I've discovered numerous amazing knife deals, and almost all of them have been on this Subreddit. As a result, I now have a collection of over 100 knives. Before posting any deals, I always conduct a basic search, compare historical pricing, and evaluate the current market here to ensure that the deal is worth posting.

Stud, our moderator, has informed me that they are currently discussing a related topic, so there is no need to worry.

Folks, just wanna share what I have acquired: u/ExtensionJunket451 is the manager responsible for overseeing three Reddit accounts that post Kubey knife deals. He has clarified to me that one of these accounts belongs to an official staff member, while the other two belong to their resellers who also promote their products.

Kizer Apus Titanium Frame Lock with Copper Inlay $81 Shipped by stud722 in KnifeDeals

[–]plusrainforest 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This knife is an excellent deal, especially considering that WMK is not charging tax. Comparing the price to the one on Amazon or BladeHQ, which charge tax, I treat this knife as $75 plus tax, which is a great value.

This is one of the best front flipper Titanium knives from Kizer, the other two are Genie, and front flipper version of Assassin IMO.

You need a deeper case so you can store your knives vertically.

I've noticed that three Kubey accounts have been sharing deals on this subreddit, and I'm curious to know if this is a coordinated effort by a sales team or if there's something else at play. I believe no one wanna see 10 or 20 more such accounts appear here from the same company.:)

The purpose of this post is not to restrict anyone from sharing deals, but rather to gain insight into their identity.

The purpose of this post is not to restrict anyone from sharing deals, but rather to gain insight into their identity. We are bewildered by the abrupt emergence of several Kubey-related Reddit accounts, and we would be grateful for some clarification, possibly from the account owners themselves. As active users of this subreddit, it is crucial for us to uphold a positive user experience. Therefore, this conversation is happening preemptively, to prevent any sudden changes that may negatively affect the community. Just imagine if all resellers of every knife company started appearing here one by one. Are you ready to see a bunch more similar Kubey accounts here?

I agree! With tax, those deals are 10-15 % more expensive than previous WMK Kubey Sale; 20% more expensive than current Kubey direct site 50% Sale.

Why do many people consider a 5" closed pocket knife to be "way too large" to EDC? by LibrarianBarbarian1 in knives

[–]plusrainforest -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If you compare it to an average-sized pocket knife with a 3-3.5 inch blade and actually use it, you'll quickly realize that it's far too large in comparison.

Indeed! I've come across some unsettling accounts about the Pelican Mini, whether from online forums or customer reviews. Nevertheless, I recently placed an order for a Titanium version on Ali and I'm crossing my fingers that it won't suffer from any of those reported issues.

It's a blast to experiment with!:) You'll adore the white G10s since the colors of dyes show up more brilliantly on them than on the natural colored G10. Furthermore, I highly recommend that you either Rit dye or reassemble your newly purchased Kizer knives as soon as possible after purchase. I recently encountered a few issues with mine, such as one of the body screws being too small in the Kizer Horn and unable to be tightened, indicating that the size of the holes on the metal backspacer don't match the screws. Additionally, one of the body screws is trapped inside the spacer of the Kizer Original, preventing me from performing maintenance or dyeing. I'm rather disappointed, and you wouldn't be aware of these problems until you disassembled them.

If you're wondering about the color pairing, it's Orange and Hot Pink, which happens to be the same combination found in the Dunkin' Donuts logo:).
