TwoSun knives.
I’ve purchased both the TS27-BK and TS16-G10. Both were purchased for for about a Jackson. They are made in Yangjiang, China.
First things first...these aren’t your normal gas station Chinese knives. In my opinion the price/quality ratio is off the charts. My initial impressions are very favorable. I’ve spent a whole lot more money on knives that were not made half as well as these.
I received the 27 first. The detent is medium, not weak and not too stiff. The KVT ball bearing action is fast and smooth. The design is comfortable in hand and in use. Lock up is about 40% and the blade is centered. No blade play. The pocket clip is tight and works well, I just wish it rode lower in the pocket. The knife arrived dull and I had to sharpen it. I’ve not used it enough to see if the “D2” holds an edge.
I then received the 16. The detent is very stiff. The KVT ball bearing action is quick and smooth. The design is comfortable and reminds me of the Benchmade 940, but a little bit bigger. The machined G-10 scales are attractive, however the machining on the G-10 and the tight pocket clip makes it kind of a pain going in and out of the pocket. Same style clip as the 27. Lockup is about 33% and the blade is centered. No blade play. The knife arrived sharp.
Both knives have polished SS liners which is a nice touch.
Both knives are Night Morning Designs for whatever that’s worth.
Both knives were shipped in a tight plastic wrap with a lot of oil in a very basic, no frills box with the manufacturers name.
Keep in mind I have not given the “D2” steel a proper testing, but I feel that a knife of this quality, if made in the USA, would run around $150-$300. And that’s me being honest. These knives are definitely quality made.
Being as both of these G-10 knives ran about $20, I figured I’d give one of their TC4 titanium models a go. I have the TS07 on the way and I’ll post here once received.
So...anybody else want to post their thoughts on these knives?
