@s3bbe thats a really ugly knife

but it reminds me of those ball bearing ZT replica/fakes

thats just a ganzo isnt it

not worth 18 bucks...unless you really want D2 over 440c

Hinderer designed two knives for ZT

but if you re after D2 you can go full ZT fake https://www.aliexpress.com/item/knoife/32744554074.html

Which are pretty much just gimped versions of the original design which is extremely good to use

half g2 half steel handle

straight into the garbage it belongs

What do you expect from a framelock

full steel?

a $7 can do it

It's heavy as it is

shoulda went with liners then

He offers titanium scale instead of G10 on the real ones

gross

Liner lock is garbage

liner lock is just fine, frame is probably better

of course compression and axis locks are much more fun

Liner lock is fine for very light tasks, but for that back lock (or better yet, spydercos modified back lock) is better, smaller and lighter but gets mucky and on lower end chink knives break easily and/or quickly in my experience

what up knifeheads. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5JK8okJJdM thats the knife you posted, right?

also, in my opinion: back liner lock > frame lock > ordinary liner lock

It seems to be an xm-18 and emerson cqc 7.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqEa1vWeGBY does he have small hands or are those ganzo axis-lock knfies huge?

@s3bbe yeah, I just remembered the first video, because I saw your link. I knew I saw the knife at some point before, so I searched frenetically

I am now watching knife reviews since at least an hour

I've had a chink emerson and while the liner was pretty thick I think I managed to bend it

Also got dirty behind the liner and was so stiff it took effort to lock it for several months. It was the best liner lock knife I've handled.

only good liner I encountered so far are the spyderco ones

Haven't tried those, I'm sure someone somewhere has made an okay liner lock, but on average - specially low end chink ones, I am strongly for other options

the byrd spyderco meadowlark 2 i bought my dad had a nice backlock

compression lock

really

yes that is the name

are there ganzo/sanrenmu compression ones?

i doubt it

make sure you have Torx bits if you get a ganzo axis lock

its probably going to be too tight

guys I'm enjoying disgusting coffee :WaveBOYE:
