I've been looking at various Chinese companies and some of their folding and fixed blade knives and I have to say they look pretty dang nice for the money. They also claim to use decent steels like D2 and 14c28n to name a few, which I like, but the prices just seem too good to be true ranging from $25 to $60 for most of them and that's honestly what's stopping me from seeing for myself.
Now I did read some of the people's reviews on some of the knives and they are mostly all positive and claim they have great fit and finish and look and feel better then what the pricetags suggest, but I also know people can do fake reviews just so people are suckered into buying the product. So that makes me kinda skeptical also.
Does anyone on here have any or tried any of these Chinese brand knives? If so do they seem to have good HT's or are they just decent steels that are run too soft? I'm willing to pull the trigger on one, but don't wanna go and waste my money without the total confidence in what I'm buying, so could these Chinese brand knives really be that good? Are they actually made to the high standards of more expensive knives made by more reputable companies or are they just the same old Chinese junk knives you find in gas stations? Thoughts and opinions?
