Welcome to Bladeforums!

Who is Master Cutlery? Any links? Any models in particular?

The only Master Cutlery I'm familiar with is a primarily a purveyor of cheap knock-offs manufactured in mainland China. Is there another one?

I have ordered a knife made by them and I was wondering if anyone has tried them out

shite!

From the link: http://www.mastercutlery.com/

Master Cutlery, Inc. has always been a pioneer in the knife industry in product development. We have the newest and hottest products in the entire industry...

They have the newest and hottest products, all right, but they didn't develop them, they stole the designs from the original makers.

Never held one, but looks like cheap junk based on the catalog.... If you want a well-made inexpensive knife, try starting with a Byrd from Spyderco.

You can get some elegant inexpensive knives from Kershaw, too.

If you have trouble finding anything over there, try New Graham, they are good at shipping outside the US.

I'm going to move this from the General Knife Discussion to FEEDBACK.

i thought it looked good i have quite good collection already mostly cold steel

That's all they have on it? I wouldn't touch a knife without specs listed: blade and overall length, handle material, blade steel, at a minimum.

Check this out, the original knife that they ripped off: designed by Phil Boguszewski, a noted custom knife maker, and manufactured for Cold Steel for years now in several models: http://www.coldsteel.com/tilite.html (Yes, you can get much better prices from a dealer.)

Well like 4 hours after putting my order in for that knife I went and bought a Cold Steel Ti-Lite.

the master cutlery ... It was a total impulse buy which I might regret now it seems but for £12.50 not bad

The Ti-lites are good knives. The Master might make a beater. At least you didn't get killed on the price.
