Part 2: Best Buy Budget Knives Online

Let me cut through the chase, just recently I found videos on Youtube regarding CLONE KNIVES! What are they? Well, they are copies or replicas of some notable or popular knives on the market. Where do they come from? CHINA! Hmmm, do I sound suspicious to you? Well let me say this, I've watched video reviews on Youtube, and I suggest that you do it as well, and I was surprised by the good feed backs, well some I guess, about these so called clone knives. What really drawn my attention into these knives was the price point. So where will you find them? ALIEXPRESS! Hmmm... This blog sounds more like advertising now than just opinions on the blade that I have. Well in fact it is, I am promoting these knives for the reasons I will later on elaborate.

Now, this is not the original fallkniven f1 knife, this is the Chinese clone of the knife. The biggest difference with this knife is not the specs but the price. Yes I heard you, also the steel. I viewed the price of the original knife on amazon fetched around 123 USD, while this knife is about 11.9 - 34.3 USD on Aliexpress. Logically I can buy 3 clone knives for the original knife at the price of 34 USD. Now the question is, how well will this clone knife perform? You can of course browse Youtube for videos about this clone knife, there are a lot. I do recommend you watched those videos if you are planning to buy this one. To be fair. What is my take on this one? Will I buy this? Yes! from my stand point, based on my opinion, experience and most importantly my budget, I do believe it is worth the purchase. For me, the price itself tells what might be the quality of this knife. So for the price, you know you might break it, but at least I am not going to be disappointed like if I break 123 USD knife, which is more disappointing? I want to buy this knife because I do want to trash it or use it ruggedly and do everything I want without worrying about the price. To be honest to you, just my opinion, having a pricey knife makes you hold back into using it. It makes you just want to keep it for collection and do not use it all. I don't want to scratch an expensive knife. I do want functional knife with a budget friendly option.

Oh look it's another clone knife, well it is gerber de facto knife real photo. The clone looks pretty much the same. Click the link above to view the image, to see the clone and read more about the specs.

A bit of info about the use of this knife, it is a back up for self defense. The price on the original is about 100+ plus USD. The original blade has S30V stainless steel. Knife reviews on Gerber de facto are on Youtube for your reference. Well, to tell you honestly, I'm somehow hype selling these knives that I came across Aliexpress for the main reason of affordability. It occurs to me an idea that I want to purchase the clone first and maybe thru it I can asses if I want the original version so in return I will not directly spend or waste money and then realized I don't want it for that price. Did I make any sense to you? Well that's just my thought.

These products were never meant to replace the original ones but rather an option in terms of affordability. You can always buy the original if you have enough money.

The Quality of these knives are often the target of criticism because they were made in China, but have you never noticed the fact that most products right now are made in China? With their fast growing economy and fast phase production, quality control for these products have been upgraded to meet the expectations of foreign buyers and in return played a great role for their success on the global market.

On the next part of this BUDGET KNIVES BLOG adventure, I will add more items you might be interested in. I will discuss some views points on why I might downgrade from entry level big company knives that I have right now to purchasing clone knives.

Please do comment and suggest! Thank you for your time.

Stay sharp and safe everyone!
