Hello All,
today I picked up a knife form a rather unknown (to me) knife maker. Fit and finish is pleasing, so I thought this might be of interest to the community.
Maker: Trivisa / Yangijang / PR China
Pattern: Aquarius-02
Covers: White smooth bone, attached by screws.
Liners and Bolsters: Titanium
Blade: Böhler M390, 7.8 cm, no blade play.
Folded length: 9.7 cm
Weight: 62 g
Walk & Talk was a bit rough, this improved after applying mineral oil and opening + closing a good number of times, now is fine. Blade pull is about 5/10.
Comment: Was ordered from China. Delivery time: 40 days. Had to be picked up in person at the Customs Office, for paying import duty.

How has it broken in so far? I've seen a few of their models while browsing some big sites but not much talk about them. Really great blade steel, some pleasing designs, just wasn't sure about biting the bullet. This one in particular:

Apparently their Gemini-02 model. 3" blade, 3.74" closed, 0.07" blade thickness. Don't see many slipjoints with M390 so it really grabbed my attention. Filework on the spine, fluted bolsters, grinds look nice, might have to try one out.

At the moment the knife sits in a drawer in the bedside table. I'm waiting for the white bone to oxidize a bit, get more of a yellow tinge.
It is a nice knife, no complaints about that, but for the time being it has been replaced in EDC by one of these three:

I'm using a honing set (Lansky) to touch up the blades every now and then, so blade steel isn't of too much of a concern to me.
