50% off 15.89 i have civivi,sencut, petrified fish,kubey,flissa and other's
I can't tell any difference in quality
From any of them
The 10.00 knives are just as smooth and well built as the 50.00 knives
Shhht!
I'm done buying knives for awhile!😁

Most companies use questionable steel, soft T6 screws & don't have a stellar reputation for heat treating like Civivi/Sencut does.
Civivi uses hardened T8 stainless screws & their QC is head & shoulders above cheaper knives.
They are just the brand I concentrate on.
Personal preference thing & I've never been disappointed.

Got this one yesterday.
Frigging BEAST!
1/4" thick steel.
Wasn't the sharpest but a few swipes on the crock sticks it will shave ball hair now (want pics? Lol)!

$44/shipped ($60 on Amazon), I wanted it because it is DC53 steel (D3) which holds a edge equal to or better than D2 & is much tougher!
Comparable to Cruwear steel.
That rounded G10 handle is extremely comfortable!
Ive looked it over with a fine tooth comb & it is a EXCELLENT quality build, the sheath is fantastic (snaps in w/authority & zero rattle)!

I like the Kubey's pretty well.
Beefy liner, excellent lockup, great pocket clip, smooth as silk ball bearings, great centering, good heat treat & priced right compared to other brands.

I only own 1, but I'm part of a circle of local hunters who are into knovrs & they all like theirs also.

Just a little too thinck in the handle for me & not as thin/refined in the pocket as Civivi & Sencut.

In usage, I think Civivi & Sencut has the edge in heat treat.
I haven't met a Civivi or Sencut I didn't LOVE (I have 4)!
Sencuts D2 is some of the best I've ever used & I've owned 12 Bob Dozier D2 knives.
Not that they are better than his, but they do offer easier sharpening & hold 95% the edge his does (similar Rockwell Hardness), not as "Toothy" & more refined on the edge, Sencut gets a much keener edge.

Good morning knife connoisseurs. I have lost my edc pocket knife and was hoping I could gain some insight on what to look for in my next knife. I previously had an Ontario RAT 2 with D2 blade and I really liked it a lot but want to see if there is anything out there that I might like more. I have to admit that I am ridiculously hard on my pocket knives. They are used as scrapers, prybars, chisels, screwdrivers and sometimes I actually use them to cut stuff. I realize that nothing will hold up well to the abuse that I throw out but the RAT worked better than anything previously. So here are my questions: is there a better type of blade to look for? I had bought the RAT from bladehq.com, is there a better place to order from? Are there any specific brands I should look for or stay away from? Thanks in advance for any help!

Just a good sturdy liner lock flipper
I like the blade design for working
It's not a stabber it's a slicer.

I picked up one of these, it's a pretty nice knife. The deployment is smooth, it was plenty sharp and so far it's holding an edge cutting house wrap and cutting open building supplies.
I've bought a couple dozen different china knives from 8-50.00
I couldn't tell you any difference in any of them
The no name seems just as well built and centered and smooth operating as my civivi and sencut
Some are d2 some are 690 absolutely no difference to me
They all hold a good edge and are easily sharpened
My buck knives are a different story very difficult to resharpen and don't hold an edge like my vintage bucks do.

My bunta came inIMG_20240929_141205.jpgpegriciedIMG_20240929_141224.jpg
My favorite petrified fish
It cuts just like a Japanese santoku kitchen knife
Very comfortable grip with a big thick flat ground slicing blade i cut meat or oranges and tomatoes just like a kitchen knife would
Amazon had a flash sale 20.00 shipped so i sent one to my brother.
