Hi all,

I'm sorry if this is not the appropriate sub forum to post. I'm a interested would be new collector. I saw this listing on Ebay: HERE

Anyway, care to comment whats good and bad about this knife? Please kindly elaborate your views abit. I appreciate it alot, thank you

P.S: if anyone bought from this seller before, please tell me your experience too. That would help alot.
 
The grind is pretty low on the blade which makes it pretty steep for a 1/4 thick blade. Notice the clip is ground deeper - which makes the blade grind offset. This is the look most cheap imports get when the maker doesn't want to take the time to do a good job. Look at the majority of high priced fisxed blades and you'll see most have grind lines above the center - where the pro's know they have to be to make a sharp blade. This is just a high carbon pry bar at best.

For the price, you can find better imports in stainless cheaper, and get a nylon sheath that would certainly look more photogenic than the leather sheath not in the picture. Then you would have a combo that wouldn't rust as much if left out wet in the back of the truck, which this style of knife invites.

Check a kit knife website, you might find what you want for less, and get real grips, too.
 
Thanxs for the input. Actually I do agree on the grind line thing. I just wanted some confirmation.
