Pic of scarab configuration I’m looking for. Total of native 5 build comes out to a little over 170: Base(clone blade and back lock) $30, AWT Scales $100, Screws since the clone ones didn’t fit the scales $10, Lynch Clip $30.
Not looking to sell and not looking for the 154cm version only the m390 version.
Sorry if this is super specific but this is what I’m looking for.
Pics and video of native linked in comments
And placed an order from OK Knives, figured I've wasted more money than this already on nickel and dime NFL parley bets this year so I guess I'll get to see for myself in a few weeks if it was worth it.
Looking for a micarta flipper that has decent edge retention. Definitely plan on carrying it so steel needs to be decent.
No preference on locking systems, or blade shape. Would prefer deep carry clip but wouldn't mind an over-engineered chunky clip. No preference on rep, clone or Chinese design.
$40-80 shipped. Let's see what you got.
$41.00 NOT $80 Fire deal for killer edc. https://a.ali express.com/_mMm9qXA

Prices include shipping.
$30- Protech Godfather clone from Jufule. Used/carried twice to open letters. First owner.
$35- Vosteed Raccoon bought from knife swap. Believe I’m the second or third owner. Carried once and not used.
$15- Microtech clone bought from another user here. Misfires occasionally and unsure the original store/manufacturer. Recently sharpened and put away.
$15- Benchmade infidel clone bought from another user here. Old, has some wear, but fires every time and better than the Microtech clone. Recently sharpened and put away.
I’ll add the clones for $8 each if you purchase the Protech clone or Vosteed
Dear Chinese Redditors, Tomorrow I'm visiting Shanghai for a week. Could you please suggest any offline shop to buy Remette, Reate and Maxace knives? Best Regards, Zaza
Kizer Bulldog micarta/154cm
Does anyone have a good XM-18 clone for sell in the US?
I got the timascus backspacer for the Eklipse in last night. There aren't any artifacts in the timascus from poor cleaning, but it's not very even, so it will be refinished.
I wasn't out of the woods yet. I went to check fitment and it turns out that they didn't complete the threading and none of the show side screws would start. Luckily, I had the right sized tap and I finished the job for them. To be clear, it wasn't just a little crap in the threads, they stopped threading before they got out of the taper of the tap.
If anyone orders one of these and runs into the same problem, I will fix it for free if you cover shipping.
You can see the poor finishing on the edge of the show scale in this pic. That will be refinished as well.
FYI he had Rosie locked for orders until all existing orders had been shipped. He didn't want people to cancel their unshipped full price orders and then reorder with the $10 choice day coupon. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256807803397382.html
action is really nice only a little lock stick but not that bad. no blade play and shaving sharp. surprised by how solid it felt. awesome beater for €22
From this post:
I am a copycat of factor. My main occupation is not making knives. Making knives is just my hobby and side job...
I like all original products very much, but my financial conditions do not allow it. There are many friends like me, so I chose imitation, but I know this is wrong...
I have also been promoting all original products on my Chinese social media, so that more friends will like original products, and more friends with financial strength will go to the original official website to buy...
The imitation products I make do not have original trademark symbols on them, and some places are specially changed so that customers can recognize the difference from the original ones at a glance...
As for the profit margin of my product, the original author should know better than me. Such small batches actually have extremely slim profits when using real materials. I imitate them just to make more friends like this structure. , learn more about originality, and buy original products when you have the financial strength in the future...
Here I just hope that the original author can be more generous, so that friends who currently do not have the financial conditions to buy original products can also play products with such a structure. My imitation will only let more friends know the original and like the original...
我就是factor的仿制者,我的主要职业不是制作刀具,制作刀具只是我的业余爱好和副业……
我非常喜欢原创的所有产品,但我的经济条件不允许,和我一样的朋友有很多,所以我选择了仿制,但我知道这是不对的……
我在我中国的社交媒体也一直在宣传原创的所有产品,让更多的朋友喜欢上原创产品,让更多有经济实力的朋友去原创官网购买……
我制作的仿制产品上面没有原创的商标符号,而且有的地方特意改变,让客户能一眼识别和原创的区别……
至于我的产品到底有多大的利润空间,原创作者应该比我更清楚,这样的小批量在真材实料的情况下其实利润极其微薄,仿制只是为了能让更多的朋友喜欢上这样的结构,更多的了解原创,以后有经济实力了去购买原创产品……
在这我只是希望原创作者能大度一些,让目前还没有经济条件购买原创产品的朋友也能玩上这样结构的产品,我的仿制只会让更多的朋友知道原创喜欢上原创……
eBay’s good sometimes
Offloading some knives so i can buy more knives. Will post on swap later today. Paypal f&f with no notes please. US only. All knives have factory edges besides shaman
Boker kalashnikov- Aus8 steel aluminum handle. Rust spots on the blade and a small chip on the edge. Second owner. Carried but not used by me. Small amount of play that seems to be normal for kalashnikovs. $35
Boker strike- D2 steel brass scales. Carried and opened a handful of boxes. Small chip on the edge. Centering can be fixed but stiffens the action a lot. Minimal play. $40
Okknives chavez clone- Has been carried but never cut with. Detent is light and the lockbar can be pushed over while locked up. Guillotine drop. The washers for the kickstop are thin and dont sit flush with the scales so some rattling can be heard when the blade is halfway out. It doesn’t seem to affect the function. $50
Microtech dessert warrior- Purchased from Okknives. Has been carried and used for opening boxes and shrink wrap. The paint is cheap and comes off easily so there is some wear. The spring/switch seems to be on the stiffer side but I haven’t owned many otfs so it might just be me. $40
Okknives sage- Ti scales. Has been used for opening boxes and cutting shrink wrap. Some scratches on blade and clip area. Centering slightly off and theres play tightening doesn’t seem to fix. $35
Shaman clone- Purchased off a random ali store a few years ago. The tip of the blade doesn’t sit fully in the handle when folded so it has unintentionally acted as a wave a few times. This was user for me and has been sharpened a few times. Slight play when fully tightened but has never failed on me. Selling $5 as an add on only.
Added some Ti Connect thumb studs and sharpened the blade.
Both pretty amazing builds for the prices. They both punch well above their weight.
This one must have been made after hours in the Kershaw factory. It feels almost better than my buddies real one. It’s super sharp right out the box. $15 with free shipping that took a week. AliExpress is knocking it out the park with these clones.
