I've been looking at some Kershaw knives on Aliexpress but I'm gussing as I believe they're made in the US I'm guessing these are copies as they're so much cheaper,
Unless they're actually made in China so just cheaper to buy direct?

This is just one example


If anybody knows would much appreciated before I go and buy something with a blade as strong as Swiss cheese 😁

I pulled this from the learning English website, it may be of use.


Why would anyone do something as pointless as beating a dead animal? Well, that is how we use the expression: to describe something that is a useless thing to do. You are just wasting your time. It is not productive. There is no point.

Merriam-Webster’s online dictionary says this expression comes from the mid-19th century. Back then, some people may have beaten horses to make them go faster. At the time, this was often thought of as an acceptable practice.

But beating a dead horse would be pointless – because it’s dead. No amount of beating will change that fact. We often use this expression in the negative. We say things like “I don’t want to beat horse …” or “Not to beat a dead horse…”

Now, if you are a horse lover and don’t want to talk about beating one, please do not worry. We have many other expressions and idioms that have a similar meaning.

Let’s say your friend talks about the same problem. They do not take your advice and they do not seem to want to accept any solution. If you don’t want to say to them, “Now you’re just beating a dead horse,” you can say, “Look, we’ve gone over the same ground and nothing has changed. So, can we please change the topic?”

When you go over the same ground, you talk about the same thing over and over again.

I understand it is a bit of joke when the price is "too good to be true", but I've been disturbed lately by the apparent clones and fakes being offered at competitive prices, sometimes with legit looking packaging. On the big auction site Ive seen Benchmade clones being sold at 2/3 of retail price, saw an obviously fake Chris Reeve Mnandi asking full retail price, and even the big river site has whole stores of clones like huaao . Even if the price is near retail, it really looks like you are taking a risk any time you're not going through an authorized dealer.
 
Cheers all and I totally get the tongue in cheek comments, I asked because I thought it was too good to be true.

Generally though I buy quite a bit from AliExpress because so many companies manufacture out there but I'm selective about the sellers I buy from and over the years have saved a heap of money buying quality stuff like torches / batteries etc. at less than 50% of the UK cost.

people are buying cheap clones from aliexpress and then putting them up for sale on ebay as real, ebay is full of listings for fake benchmades, fake spydercos, and tons of fake kershaws like the kershaw blur

A guy I know once ordered a drone for $20 from Wish. After waiting 6 months he sent an email asking for his money back as he assumed it was lost. Refund issued, the drone showed up the following week, and then 2 months later he received another drone.
 
using Ali express for anything seems like a bad idear...

I love saving money too, but not at the almost guaranteed risk of getting junk.......

even low cost but real deal chinese brands are being faked on ali express....
