It's looks inspired by Kikuo Matsuda's designs. Well, if there's ever a Chinese made knife I'm getting next, it'll be that one. Do you know what model name/number that is?

I see. Are they done in small runs, or are they done by individual special order only?

Is the blade ferric chloride/acid etched, or was the pattern applied by some other method?

I found this Kershaw Folding knife w/ sheath and blister package(1090GHX printed on the package) but 1090GH on the blade.
Any one can confirm it is an original one or just a copy.
the handle work is very good.
thank you advance

I really like the looks of this thing. How thick is the blade? I wish the top of the blade wasn't taperd, it would be better for batoning.

I'm going to sand out those awful ridges in the micarta and strip the cheezy pattern off the blade. That's gonna be my new camp buddy without the mall accouterments. ;^) The blade/handle shape looks like it would make for an excellent small chopper, and it has some nice jimping too. I'm a sucker for black micarta. though it may need to be dyed after I sand out the ridges. ATS-34 ain't too shabby, and the kydex sheath is very nice.

That Y start is one beautiful blade. I would buy one in two seconds.

I eye-balled that knife for a while ,kind of afraid it might not actually be ats-34 ?? almost to good to be true,
.There is also a Bear Grylls Bayley copy with ats-34 same dilemma

I think this is the real deal. They have a picture of it on a Rockwell and it's reading 62.5. I suppose it could be faked. I dunno, seems like going to a lot of trouble if it wasn't accurate.

I actually have one of those Y-Start neckers and was impress with the FF. My only issue is with the shallow HG. It doesn't make for a very good slicer.

I carry my Enlan el-01 more than almost any other knife.

 

[lolgm213]

A Sanrenmu 710 and a Navy K602. Both very smooth.

I also have a Cold Steel Kudu which is also made in China. All 3 are excellent knives.

I love this company, I've been EDCing an Ares A for a few months before I start distributing for them and have not been more shocked and happy with a Chinese brand knife. Totally changed my view on Chinese owned knife companies and have since ordered a couple of Enlan and SRM knives and can't wait to get my hands on them. If you go with a Chinese knife, make sure its from a Chinese knife company and not some shit cloning company.
