On my lunch break today I passed a shop that sells junky kinda stuff, porcelain dogs, cheap watches, essential street vendor stuff.
however they had an intersting looking all stainless chinese folding knife there. parang style blade . Junk i thought but i was curious so i checked it out and bought it for 7 euros.
It´s made by a brand called sanrenmu in guanxi china( so it says on the warrenty. I was surprised how well it was made for the price.
shaving sharp out of the box. made out of 4 parts, blade, scales and slipjoint backspring that extends into a lanjard hole.
blade is perfecty centered closed aswell as open. no space between the backspring and the scales. good fit and finish. I´m pleasently surprised. i´ll post how it performs. maybe lachine knows more about the brand...

I wish i had a digi cam. I´d post it in a minute. Internet search didn´t turn anything up. maybe lachine will jump in with some info.
i´ll keep you posted on the knife. edgeretention is good sofar. 150 draw and slash cuts on fir and pine and it´s still shaving sharp.
no word what kinda steel it is.

My guess is that it might have to do with the German keyboard schema he's using.
