I apologize in advance for my English. This is not my native language.
"The dark side is taking over me more and more. Goodbye Anakin Skywalker, hello Darth Vader."
In fact, after buying a flipper from Sencut,
one thought haunted me. For $ 50, the Chinese can offer almost perfect quality in processing and assembling a knife. What can they offer for $ 200-300? And I decided to look again at my favorite shop near Sennaya Square.
With the help of my friend, the administrator of this store, I reviewed about twenty Chinese folding knives in the indicated price range. I came to the conclusion that the price is rising not because of the increase in the quality of the knife, but because of the materials used and the names on the blades.
I was about to leave, I began to say goodbye, and then my friend said: 'Wait, we have new items arrived' It would be better if I left without saying goodbye!
I examined three or four more knives with a rather ridiculous design. Then he came out of the box. And I couldn't give it back.
Blade 90 mm with double finish, longitudinal satin and very fine tumbling, butt 4 mm. Excellent factory edge.
Front flipper. Handle titanium, 120 mm. Frame lock with steel insert, ceramic bearing. And with all these details, the knife weighs 15 grams less than my Sebenza 25.
Very cool handle texture.
It seems to be angular, but there is not a single hot spot in the hand. Even the clip fits very comfortably in the palm of your hand.
The clip is the only disappointment with this knife. Though disappointment is too strong a word. The knife hooks into the pocket quite comfortably, but to remove it, you need to make a noticeable effort.
And the cherry on top of the cake:
After returning home from the store, the knife was sent for a walk with the dog.
And cut some wood.
It penetrates the tree confidently, but in a peculiar way. It deepens by two or three millimeters, and then goes parallel to the wood fibers. Across is also not bad. I stuck the blade into a dried tree for 5-7 mm and broke it to the side, the blade without consequences.
The dog sits and thinks: "Master, when will you play enough with your knives and will we go home?"
At home, the knife went to work in the kitchen.
Carrot:
Onion:
Smoked lard for frying:
Not a kitchen knife, of course, but I didn’t hear the sound of splitting root crops either. The best part is that after all these actions, the knife continued to confidently shave the hair on the forearm.
At the end, two photos with famous knives:
Here is such a raccoon dog from China.
The question remained open, what kind of brand on the blade. And I need to get to the workshop, fix the clip. It will be a good urban crowbar, with an armor-piercing blade tip and a good cutting function.
I will be happy to answer any additional questions.
Max.
