Tekto: Another wanna be Tactial EDC knife company :/

[P-Blade]

Found this on Instagram (of course) : Tekto Gear

Makes me think, who would buy this kinds of knives for $50-$100+

They look cheap, blade material supposedly 440c (but who really knows). To me they look like MTech knives but higher priced.

Do you know anything about them?

Do you know they are lying about their steel?

What are you basing your judgement on?

They don't look particularly different than anything else.

I've never seen the first model before, but the two OTFs are the same ones available from Chinese wholesalers. You'll find them sold under various brands at trade shows and flea markets. Beware knives sold by the dozen.

The OTFs do make decent little fidget toys and letter openers though.

Yeah, the two bottom knives look familiar...

Flea market junk.
It's like a Chinese version of the Pakistani Damascus knives, they sell those cheapo knives as " handmade customs " and these Chinese knives are basically being sold as midtechs.

looks like they are just copying styles that sell.

At $150ish for the OTF, thats quite an expensive fidget toy or letter opener.

I don't know that they are lying about their steel, sorry.

Just on looks, I guess.

Seems like there are a few people (or companies) that are buying OTFs in bulk from these chinese sites, then repaint them, sometimes slap a logo in them, then sell them for $75-$150, Cobratech comes to mind.

They're passing it off, or trying to, as a legitimate product. Same knife can be has elsewhere for much less.
