thanks to Chines manufacturers know you can buy knife like CAMO DEFENDER made by Boker for USD 19.95 only.

personally I'm not much into designers knives, it is beautiful art great thing to collect (if you have enough $$$) but when it come to real world use I think best knives made in collaboration with army people

look at this Bayonet System 2005 used by NATO forces,



it can cut wires under 1000 Volt. AC-DC and has Blade flexibility break point: 30 degrees plus until fracture. One of the best bayonets in the world.

Agree, and replicas of almost all brands. China does not recognize any external trademark or patent until it is registered in China, so there is nothing anyone can do. But at that price-point, you cannot beat the quality. I own one SRM knife, and it has a very good fit and finish.

BTW, http://www.exduct.com/ is the site where you can buy these knives. Though most other items have to be bought "wholesale", knives can be purchased in 1 or 1+ quantities.

You nailed it Moin. Jay fisher is one of the best knife makers in the world today and when he makes a knife he makes it a piece of art. When I first found this website I also found it to be very informative.

Yes, they copy everything and all the research and money spent by other companies simply goes waste and they can make some money out of it. This is not the case simply with knives. They do it with everything and are good with it.

I have experience with Chinese and Taiwanese machinery and its not bad.

The only thing I can say is that there is a difference but at this price you cannot go wrong.

They dump their goods in the rest of the world and we cannot resist.

This is not fair competition. Copying things, reduction in material quality and quantity, everything machine made as they mostly take up a limited number of models with large quantities, govt subsidies, raw materials provided cheaper than the actual cost, state owned factories, drawbacks, strict state control on labour, compromise on the quality in some cases etc.

Well !

Lets put it this way:

"Inspired By Greatness"

Sanrenmu GB 910


Chris Reeve's Sebenza, probably the best known folder among knife lovers



Chris Reeve's Umnumzaan : see Pivot



GB 910 "inspired by" the Sebenza

Cost cutting measures:

Liner lock Instead of the Frame lock

Handle material reduced to steel and G10 instead of Titanium

Blade material 8Cr13MoV instead of S30V

Needless to say that it can never match the Sebenza in fit or finish

But for this price who complains !
