ok that would be great! im been looking at getting a shcrade 9, schrade 10, and the 42d. are those frowned upon here. the guy that designed the 9 and 42d has been posting on my other thread(im new here if you hadnt noticed lol). anyway are there similar items to those with like a sabre grind with good steel for maybe a little less money?
 
marcinek the answer to your question is i would...if i needed a item and someone else made it cheaper ...yes i would buy it.
 
danbot: if i see a stolen knife design or any other stolen design(which is a item or a material thing)...tv,car,truck,chainsaw..etc....and someone has posted a review on youtube or some where else and it seems like a chance i want to take to save money then i will do it.

Oh, okay.:rolleyes: I won't. One reason is that I have had my things stolen before and things I paid a lot of money for were then sold off to people like you for mere pennies on the dollar. That feeling sucks.

so i took a chance. spent 17 bucks or so on a knife that looks like a strongarm from aliexpress. wasnt expecting much. but i had saw a video where a guy reviewed one on youtube. he started using it had a puzzled look on his face. he started thinking it was real because it was doing so well. so he asked viewers if they had ever seen this before.

well i had it now for like a week. and i been beating the hell out of it. it hasn't broke. it hasn't bent. heck the coating isn't even coming off yet. i been stabbing it in trees, batoning. tip testing. light prying with it. digging a little. de-limbing a oak tree. (im in ga. and we had two trees fall in our yard from michael. no damage to home but dont have any power. running a generator)

does anyone happen to have any info on this knife? the site gives some specs. says its made from 12c27 steel.(like is this chinese made steel or made else where?) it gives all the dims also. the sheath seems nice and durable. i never owned a real strongarm and probably never will unless they take it back down to like 40 bucks. so nothing to compare it to.

thanks,scott

For the record I have almost never seen a genuine knife on aliexpress or dhgate.

There are a few exceptions but these are Chinese companies like Maxace and Airosu but with all the fakes even ordering one of these you will have no way of knowing you got a real one.
 
yea i just wanted to know more about the knife. and just being honest i was shocked at how tough it seems to be. i figured this being a knife forum and all someone may have first hand knowledge maybe. i never dreamed i would be attacked for what i do with my own money. i think i am starting to understand though; these people here have plenty of money and can buy expensive knives on a whim. some of these guys are talking from a moral high horse of superiority. im just a simple country boy from ga that just went through michael and still has no power. i thought i could ask questions like a adult and actually get answers. i dont make alot of money and what i do have i have to stretch it out. thanks lapedog for atleast trying to answer.

We do get quite a few trolls here that will post things to get a rise out of people and clones is a surefire way to do it. We also get returning trolls who sign up again and within a few posts are stirring the pot again. Its good to take some time and read here for awhile before posting.
 
well...i entered it in the search engine....the only thing that came up is when i mentioned it in my first and only other thread. i am not a troll or trying to advertise stealing of others property. and also i wasnt trying to be rude if anything i said came out that way. is it in the rules not to discuss this?i guess ill go try to find them and read through them all this time....

This being a knife forum and all, you shouldn’t be surprised that people here care about protecting and supporting those companies and makers who provide us with fantastic, original designs and NOT those companies who shamelessly rip them off.
