Should I get this?

Man, does that thing look cheaply made. Looks like a ripoff of a Rekat hobbit or hobbit warrior (or something like that). I think Al Mar made one too, not sure which was first. Somebody will be along shortly with more concrete info, I'm sure.

Anyway, the Rekat and the Al Mar are no longer made, and will cost a pretty penny if you can find one. Even if you can't find one, or don't want to spend the money for one, the answer to your question is: no, you shouldn't buy that one in your picture. In fact, buy any other knife in the world rather than that one. :thumbup:
 
You know, unmarked knives like that have shown up on the bay regularly.

REKAT (Round Eye Knife And Tool), Al Mar, and I believe another company made quality versions.
 
Jensen Elite Blades makes a version. They're in Australia, and I think there's been a couple issues with delivery dates.

*huggles his Hobbit Warrior and Pocket Hobbit :p*

As long as it's cool with your parents for you to buy a knife, then... My advice is to take the $24 you were gonna spend on this, add about $6 to it and get a Buck 110 at Wal-Mart. It's not a fixed blade but that's about the best $30-ish knife you will find.

He got you off to a good start. :)

Look, for that kind of money, you aren't going to get much in the way of a big blade, not an honest working knife, anyway. A display piece, sure, but it would be dangerous to use, even playing at light cutting with it. Like a lot of what Knifezilla sells, that one is really a three-dimensional picture of what a knife looks like. It's a knife-shaped object.

What are you really looking for, display or use? There are some great knives close to that $24, that wouldn't take much more saving up to afford, that would be good for yard work or camping, but that do look a lot more utilitarian.

My psychic powers told me that you had one, but I wanted to annoy you with the suggestion anyway. :rolleyes:
 
What's up Chicken Pizza,
If you're looking for a reasonable priced fixed blade to compliment your 110 might I suggest checking out the Buck 119 or one of the Kabar USMC's? Perhaps you could work a deal with your folks to earn a little extra pocket cash and get yourself something with a good name behind it. Take it easy in the mean time.
