What is that, some sort of Ruike P801 clone?

Sanrenmu is the budget line for Ruike or Real steel (forgot already) , but visually they look not worse than Ruike, even quality controle is much better than with other Chinese knives . I bought about 15 Sanrenmu knives in the last 2 years and only 1 knife (older model) has blade not in the centre when you fold it, but it was not drastically off centred.

And no is not copy of P801 , it is smaller and weights less than P801 also minor differences in design

Yes i understand, but i mean that if you pay more money for more quality (no matter car ,clothes or knife) i find it ok , but in many aspects of our life companies ask extra money just for name of their products. For example im sure that 300$ shoos gonna be better quality than 20$ shoos , but i do not think there is big difference in quality between 300$ shoos and 5000$ shoos , you just pay 4700$ for the sake of name , just because its made for rich people and poor people can not afford it, but you can and you show it.

On otherhand with knifes its little bit other story , shoos are things you wear out, but knife can be with you years and for some people it can be worth to pay 500$ just because this knife is made by his favorite knife maker.

$5000 SHOES are very rare and a terrible example.

I have $300 SHOES and boots I have had for 15-20 years and still wear them. Can’t say the same for cheap ones. I have expensive footwear besause they last and are quality products, not to “show it”. Nobody thinks I am “rich people” and impressed with my $300 Red Wing boots.

BTW, clone knives are highly frowned upon here and you shouldn’t post photos or info about them.

What the hell are you talking about? Sanrenmu rips off other manufacturers and makes clones. They are not any respected manufacturer’s “budget line”. Educate yourself.

Agree, thats why i told that there is quality difference between 20$ shoes and 300$ ones.

Its not clone , it has its brand name "Sanrenmu" , if its Chinese it do not mean it must be clone ))) Maybe they did steal design, but if they do not name it as Original it does not count as clone. Correct me if im wrong please . And yes it is not respected i know, but i bought that knife not for collection , but as all around knife.

Btw i like it very much, it weights only 55gramms , 16cm full length and 6.5cm blade length. I did not see a knife that is not skeleton that weight less than this with the same size.

Sanrenmu builds the Ruike p801 as well as tons of knives for other companies. They build all the Real Steel knives. There are knives in their line up that are clones, just like there are knives in Wayeah (WE knives parent company) that are clones. This isn’t probably the best place to discuss it.

Personally I don’t see a problem with non clone Sanrenmu knives. The Ruike p801 is a Sanrenmu product.

I just got this ZT 0920 this week and I’m really liking it quite a bit. It’s a real joy to watch such a large blade flip open so smoothly.View attachment 1029640 View attachment 1029641

I just perceived the same knife via USPS. It is extremely well built. The blade does open effortlessly and yes it is large and easy to handle. Had a great time opening and the lock up is one of the best I own. Being a veteran and the fact it is US made is the icing on the cake for me. Ya hoo.

It’s really a great blade indeed! The price was also a really good deal in my opinion also. The titanium scales are a thing of beauty as is the blade shape,and the cpm20cv steel is an added bonus for sure. I find the large size(for a folder) is quite satisfying in hand,overall I love it! Enjoy yours.
