So it begins (tomorrow is my first day carrying a totally different style of knife)

I guess China, probably the same factory or a similar one, but the "branding and labeling" of the original piece makes it 4x as expensive

That's what I figured, I wondered because nobody ever says anything when someone mentions the cheaper copy's.
 
I bought the cheaper copy. It took forever to get here and I really was not impressed with it.
 
Quick upate: really happy with the awl so far!

Boss man is out of town on a family emergency so Ive been to busy to write a longer reply. Details coming soon...


On the way to work edit: I forgot to get it in my pocket today

On a popular Auction site one can find copies of these clips made by different Chinese companies

They are 1/4th of the price of a real P7 or less, and IMO just as nice for light use and normal EDC

I use them on lights, SAKs and other stuff, they work just fine for me

just search for "EDC" clip on that website's search bar


I have a few P7's and have had the Chinese copies too. What I noticed was fit and finish was nicer on the P7, if that means anything to most people on such a small simple item like this, and I also noticed that the P7 steel seems a bit more "springy" and the copy was stiffer, IIRC. Easier to slide in and out of the pocket. YMMV.
