Two Sun Knives

[Chronovore]

Not sure about their knives but I just got this sweet Twosun Ti frag prybar. It’s pretty nice.

I have a bunch of TwoSun knives and a bunch of their pry tools, including the excellent one quoted above. At least some of the pry tools and pens are actually made for them by Pioneer EDC. (Both companies also do stuff for SixLeaf, RIHE Design and YJGDCN.) I've been picking up TwoSun knives for several years now, since at least their 100 series. Most are reasonably well made. They get a lot of cool designs and work with a lot of different designers.

My main complaint is that TwoSun doesn't always make sure that blades are fully protected when the folders are closed. Several companies seem to have internal checks on that sort of thing but at the same time, I've seen this issue on very expensive, high-end, or mid-tech knives too; including Chavez, Shirogorov, and Biryukov. If you don't know what I mean, it's blade edges, heels, or tips being exposed or very close to the edge of the scales when closed. So for instance, running your finger along the outer edge of the knife when closed could lead to a bite. It doesn't happen on every model but it's common enough that I have to mention it.

These are some of my favorites from TwoSun. I don't recall the model numbers (another common complaint). Coincidentally, the three folders are all examples of affordably priced full-sized blades in ingot steels with titanium bodies. That's something I wish more companies would do. The first two are running 14C28N. The third is 10Cr15CoMoV (the Chinese analog of VG-10). The third has actually seen multiple releases under those different brands. Coincidentally, the pry tool and pen in that third shot are also from that group of brands. The tiny fixed blade is interesting in that it uses TwoSun's proprietary spray-form steel, YJ01-V1. AFAIK, that might be the best or most advanced blade steel produced in China.

Ok so I get it looks cool, and I’ve seen them for sale from makers on this site…what’s the hype? What makes these things cool? Uses? I’m being serious…if there’s a market for them, I can start making some.

Its simply a real beefy and thick pry bar with cool frag milling. Its also cheap compared to many prybars. There is a bigger market than you think for these types of prybars. Check out Zach Wood's site. He makes and sells high end prybars out of titanium and various steels. They go for hundreds on the secondary market. This Twosun is just a neat looking, affordable, beater prybar.

I should note that their Titanium Pens,Pry Bars and Tools can be found under the Hamans Brand on Amazon. Wish I knew this sooner I would of returned one of their weird pens.

I LOVE Two Sun knives and have to close to 100 of them. I only received one bad one that had something wrong with the detent but the EBay seller took it back. I continue to be really impressed with the quality of them. I can always count on them to be solid, with great action, centered blades, sharp and with perfect grinds. I have a few $150 Two Suns that will rival $500 knives from other companies.

Might be a good time to post an update now that I’ve had some time with it. Still love the little knife - actually more so after correcting some niggling issues that weren’t immediately apparent without extensive use.

I rounded many of the corners around the edges of the scales and pocket clip that would create hot spots when gripping the knife during extended periods of use.

The pocket clip itself sits pretty high towards the back and is pointed in the front. It was obviously designed simply for aesthetics, but is not comfortable at all to use. After rounding everything out- scales and clip - the knife is now much more functional.
