Need purchase advice

[ILoveAniceOpeningHole]

So,ive just been on [a web site] and found what looks like a bargain........the eden 108 pocket knife blackwashed finish with sandvic 12c27 blade steel on phos bron washers.....sounds like a bargain right? Good steel, decent pivot system,full steel framelock, all at just over £20 . Now in the uk thats a good looking offer.

My question is, whats the catch? Has anyone owned this knife? Or other products by eden? Are they a good brand? Hows the general fit and finish of theyre knives?

PLEASE HELP!

There's no catch, there's a lot of good knives with similar materials at that price point. Looks like a pretty decent knife for 25 bucks from what I can tell.

I'd never heard of Eden so I hit the ole Google machine. First result I got looks awful like a rebranded Chinese Sebenza clone to my inexpert eye.

Yeah maybe but in the uk we get ripped off so naturally im sceptical, have you handled any eden knives?

[that web site] isn't a supporting vendor (and they aren't the cheapest source, there is one in Finland you might want to check out that has good prices), so you might want to remove the link. The Eden Knives are Sebenza clones with more basic materials. I feel you on the price point, Europe overall isn't particularly cheap when it comes to buying knives. I'd check out:
- WE Knives Civivi Line
- Kizer Tangram Line
- Bestech
- Real Steel
for affordable readily available budget knives.

Not sure about importing to the UK from Europe but Courty & Fils in Paris is worth a look.

What's this website based in Finland?
