4/29/2023 0 Comments Fake strider knivesSmooth to the touch, very comfortable to hold with no hot spots, the ergonomics are perfect any way you grab the handle. The "concealed carry" handle is a heavy stonewashed stainless steel frame lock and a thick slab of contured G10. As far as I can tell it is not an accurate copy of an existing Strider but it is based upon the SnG model. These are usually the extra special inlaid knives and ones made on request (for mega $$$).Īlso even on my run of the mill (dealer exclusive CF small 21) a single person did the final assembly, hand sharpened it, hand tightened every screw and even hand signed its birth card.I bought this fake Strider in August 2015 on AE for 16$. They also offer much closer to custom knives where the blanks are still made in batches but from that point on a single person takes a single knife and does all the finish work and assembly. Have you watched the CRK shop tour video’s? A lot of the machines in Chris’ shop are handmade by him, he started out making tools, wasn’t till he retired he started making knives. My personal favorite makes is brad southard, price his knives and check his waiting list. They’re easily 5x a Sebenza (and can go much more). Have you priced a true hand made “custom”. They are “mid-tech” meaning they have more human input than an assembly line knife (the same person follows each batch of knives along the production process) but yes they are machined. That’s how it’s designed, that’s what the shape of the back of the scale is are NOT sold as custom’s. There are several fake Sebenza vids on YouTube I found, one guy had an issue with the blade being almost exposed along the handle when closed…so I think they are not that close to original.Ĭan you post a link, I EDC a Sebenza (second one I’ve owned) and the blade tip is exposed out the end of the handle any time it’s not fully closed. Thanks for the link…I was just wondering about the fakes for their design, materials, construction, not so much legitimate knives. I just hate when companies say ooooh looky what we made, sorry you can’t have it. They are giving people a choice.Īnyways sorry for the little rant. Just because some exec made the decision to not make any more, their are none, or the slimmy capitalists are reselling the units for quadruple the price. I really like and want what i like, enter the Chinese. Limited production, what a bunch of crap. I found microtech and matrix and zt 0777/0888. So I liked it so much I looked for something similar. So I bought my first $100+ knife, a zt0770cf. It is great, but heavy and a little thick. I have never spent more than 70$ on a knife. But take away the prstige that is factored into the price and it is a very different story. In some cases, more and more now days, the chinese are duplicating products, some times 1:1, and removing the pomp from the price.ĭon’t get me wrong, these “custom” production knives are fantastic. how much of that price is materials, “labor” and how much is from status, and ego. they are mass produced in medium sized batches, in the sense that they milled using automation and then assembled. One man or even a few men working 8 hours a day could not make all the sebenza’s that are available in stores. Some one has actually sweat to make that blade. Makers like cris reeves make knifes from scratch, they use the finest quality materials, and they have a reputation. I looked around and think I may buy this knife…it looks pretty nice actually, close to the same model you pictured and it says its same as OEM…for $10. CRKT-M21-pocket-knife-half-tooth- CRKT-knife-8CR13-material-58HRC-G10-handle-folding-knife-wholesale-wholesalers.html#feedback If you want a very good quality copy with excellent cutting on the G10, blade, prints etc….can try this CRKT M21 for just 7.20 shipped (just the flipper is a bit stiff but you can easily fix that). A $100 Chinese Sebenza could be a good knife. I have little doubt that a decent knife company in China could make a quality 1-1 Sebenza copy with good materials and 90% of the overall quality for 1/4 the price.
