Thoughts on TwoSun knives

I've had a couple twosun knives. One was used quite a bit. Edge performed fine. No issues with rolling or chipping. Lock up is perfect, very smooth action. The machining on the titanium and g10 are done surprisingly well. They seem to be making good products at very low prices, I bet they will raise prices when they become more popular.
 
Hello all..please no hate!..
I have various taste and support American made knives..as of recent I have purchased 60 plus Twosun knives and use about ten regularly the others are for the pleasure of owning some exotic looking knives at a reasonable price compared to some USA brands..materials are as stated and tested to ensure claimed build specs..but they usually but not always perform as well as USA knives in performance test..Of the few that I do EDC I would put up against any knife of comparable cost or even 3-4 times that of a Twosun knife..they have matured as a company in there quality department. My favorite EDC is the ts64..its a beast..second is the ts168..both knives can be bought for less than 80 bucks.
 
View attachment 1247668 View attachment 1247669 View attachment 1247666 View attachment 1247667 I have a TwoSun TS 88. It is a marvel of close tolerances. There are no screws in the knife. It is held together by two pins. The blade pivot pin is secured by a dove tailed slide with a C clip at the end. The rear pin is secured by a C clip on a swinging spine. There is no adjustment in the knife. There is also no play. The ball bearing pivot is as smooth as glass. M 390 blade. What's not to like?

I intended to carry these knives and give you all my honest feedback.
Truth is, I carried both for about a week and put them back in their boxes.
I’d consider them a decent knife, but they didn’t knock my BM 940 or Spyderco Manix 2 and Para 2 out of my pocket.
 
Some of the YouTube reviewers have given them good reviews and they seem to be honest about their steel content.

There are bunch of Chinese companies making decent quality knives now. It's hard to get concrete data but it seems that a lot of them started out making knives for bigger-name companies, doing OEM work, etc. Eventually, they start creating sub-brands or making their own products.

There have been questions about some companies stealing designs or design elements, but intellectual property can be complicated in a global economy. For instance, let's say company X was making design Y for foreign company Z. Company X has leftovers or makes design Y or makes something based on or influenced by design Y as part of a different line to sell in a different market where Z didn't have regular distribution, etc. That line might continue and then eventually bleed over into a new market. Then we get people boycotting company X while unknowingly carrying X-made knives with a Z brand.

Also love my Spyderco IKUCHI..PM2..SMOCK..SHAMAN..
TROPEN AND MANIX 2..SHAMAN IS MY FAVORITE..
 
They are usually better than most of there competition in there price points.
They are a great place for a person to find out what they want/need from an EDC knife.
After a few you will have a pretty good idea what you are looking for in a EDC knife.
Which will help greatly when a person decides to step up to higher dollar offerings.
I have one that is a work of art to me.
TS21 Similar to this pattern.

Recently took the dive myself and currently have 2 on the way and from everything I've read and heard they are supposed to be legit. (regarding materials and heat treat)

If that's the case, these knives to me represent THE best value for modern folding knives out there currently considering what they can be had for on Ebay auctions. (I'll let you know more when they arrive)

Oh yeah, I got the TS139 and the TS127 coming, both with s90v steel at ridiculous prices considering materials used.

Yes, one folder and got rid of it soon. Few issues out of box - felt cheap and low quality, bought it out of conviction from my friend who claimed I just hate everything made in China (which is partially true) and I should give it a try as quality has gotten descent. Never again I shall make the mistake and betray my American knife brands. That's worse than cheating on your spouse. And I got served by karma! So for me TwoSun knives -> CCC = Cheap Chinese Crap

And anyone who pays over $100 on a Chinese made knife (including Reate and Kizer and others) is making a deadly financial and purchasing mistake! The only thing I am OK with made in China is my socks and underwear, because I can not find US manufactured socks and underwear.

P.S. Only once I an issue with US made knife (out of about 100 I own) - Benchmade Barrage and Benchmade was happy to replace it. Period.
