I can't get over these SanRenMu knives;.like many of my fellow BBer's, I've grown accustomed to parting with large sums of money for quality knives. Thinking that one or two hundred pounds is par for the course for a quality folder.
Now, don't get me wrong; I'm not about to say that the new generation of Chinese folders coming into the country are going to replace your Shings, Sebbies and Fallknivens at less than 1/20th of the cost, BUT these knives pound for pound are impossible to fault.
Take for instance the humble SRM 939 (NOT a small knife!), available from Jon HatethatGiraffe for a mere £10ish (Some of us have paid that for a skull bead, or a lanyard)
Pic shamelessly plagiarised from a more talented individual...
It's made from 8Cr13MoV, blade steel of Spyderco Tenacious and Persistance fame (and a host of other brands). The fit and finish are the equal, if not superior to, folders costing MANY times more.
3mm flat ground blade with perfectly matched bevels and no blade play, these come to you shaving sharp. And what's more; because they're cheap as chips - You can play with them fearlessly! ;)
Drop point, reinforced tip:
KenOnion-leekalike:
Now, I must have lavished an average of 5 minutes of my life on each of these knives, and that includes making good with some 400 grit on the spine so you can't tell it's been 'fettled'.
These mods are pretty subtle and not time consuming and just might turn an inexpensive folder in just what you're looking for, the uppermost is a handy food prep knife in a camp enviroment and the 'Leekielikey' is about as grand a knife as you could want for paunching rabbits; use it, then wash it in a pudldle...
Go ahead and have a go, at these prices it would be rude not to. How about a 'Pimp my SRM league'?
;)
Incidentally; My thanks to Jon for being such a gent in going the whole 9 yards to get knives posted off ASAP, and The prices.... lol
