love Looking for some knife advice


Help!! I really wants these knives but I have heard before that some things can not come into the states from another country if it may be a copy of something else. The price is great, they are only $0.78 each delivered (not sure how they can do that). Does this knife look ok 100's Of Knives Wholesale Online Ordering Shipped Direct From China its the knife with the little red tassel. If that link don't work then try 1000's Of Chinese Wholesale Items Shipped Direct From China ToYourDoor and click on knives. Has any one brought knives to the states from China before. I want to order these but I don't want to waste time and money.

Be leery of these knives. I have ordered some from other companies and they are cheap replicas made out of aluminum aloy that can not be sharpened.

So if all you ever wanted is some alufoil that LOOKS like a knife but isn't and cannot cut anything, this is what you like.

No, this is not what I like. I have stopped buying knives/weapons over the internet or out of mail order books. I have to see what I'm buying now.

Those knives on that web site are like the samurai practice swords made out of aluminum alloy. I bet that guy that posted about those knives will think twice before asking peoples oppinions.....LOL

Buck knife are good. Also The Edge makes some pretty descent knives (they make some crapy ones too). The edge makes good Tanto knives and butterfly knives as well as a few hunting knives. Swords by the edge are ma ma hu hu (or in English....so, so).

I look at my cold steel knives as cheap and functional but ugly.
Dunno where you live, but i'd probably get a lady something like this,

Kershaw Rainbow Leek 1660VIB

or depending on the lady, one of these...

BLACKHAWK ! *Ayoob Razorback

First one is smooth, pretty and easy to open. Second one is stiff, solid and relatively compact....
...like i said, depends on the lady.


Paging Aqira...

There are several good to great brands. It's less about brand, and more about how much are you willing to spend ?

I went for Kershaw, not because I think they are the best on earth, but because they are a nice middle ground of quality/price.

There are some really nice Cold Steel ones, but the ones I like the most are damn pricey.

This is the shop I go to for supplies. They have a huge selection of most major brands, and information for every knife. Might help you choose something. Just click their "knifes" section on the left. Sharp Edge - Home
