Good afternoon everyone! I am new here, but already know that people don't like Eafengrow knives because they tend to be clones/knockoffs of higher quality knives. I have a Benchmade 940 that I love, but was looking for something a little chunkier for work.

That being said, I recently picked up an EF931 from amazon for $27, and was curious what, if any, knife it was based on. I love the design, but would like to give the actual creator/actual knife a shot if it exists... I just can't find it.

I've looked around and can't seem to find anything, and was curious if anyone out here could point out what knife it was a clone of, so I could purchase the real thing. It looks somewhat like a ZT knife, but I couldn't find anything similar on their current lineup. I also checked Spyderco and Benchmade and couldn't find anything that matched.

Link has been removed, as I misread the rules and posted an amazon link. Thank you Lodd for pointing out my error.


Thanks for the help!

Welcome to the forum ETCetera. Please read the rules. Links and referrals to non-supporting dealers, such as amazon, are not allowed.

As for your question, I couldn't answer it. Handle contours kinda remind me of the proper, but that's a slipjoint.
 
Link removed from original post. Blade looks like straight razor meets sheepsfoot, and the handle looks like a mix of the Proper and a ZT 0450.

Thank you for the help and setting my path straight.
 
I don't recognize the profile from an existing production knife. It's possible this company makes its own original designs in addition to clones.
 
I don’t think it’s a clone the closest thing to it I can think of is the Red Horse Hell razor and it’s an expensive mid tech like $550
 
There are a bunch of these 'cleaver' folders made by artisan cutlery - (the company that is often accused of a swastika-like logo, which imho does not look like one)

I think they copied the 'cleaver' folder ideal from some instagram makers, but they didn't do exact copies...
I'm still surprized this design got popular at all, tbh, it seems unwieldy

here is the artisan cutlery tomahawk - (around $60 for this one on sale)
