New Knife from CH Knives - The CH3507 with M390 Blade!

Incoming!

Just a short update on a new model from CH Knives - the 3507 with M390 steel blade.

After the budget mini 3504 with AUS-8 steel, they decided to go premium, but to keep the price budget ($135), making it one of the most affordable knives with M390.

Other specs are similar to what we have got used to from CH - ti handle, single row ceramic bearings, 96mm (3.75") blade and 132g (4.65 oz) weight.

Looks pretty cool and I would like to get one, especially with that price for M390 steel.

Sinkevich Custom Koordinal Clone Titanium Framelock Flipper Knife - Another awesome design cloned!

Guess the Chinese makers really love Dmitri Sinkevich's designs.

Otherwise it will be hard to explain so many of his models being cloned lately with the best materials, including milled titanium, carbon fiber and M390 steel.

Ok, maybe not so hard to explain - everybody likes Sinkevich's designs.

He has made a long way from Belarus to the peak of knifemaking with the ZT collaboration.

Now there are 4 versions of clones of the design (all come without the logo):

1. The most premium version is the Vespa CF+Ti+M390, it is also the most expensive one.

2. Vespa Ti+M390 version, also has 3 row ceramic bearings.

3. Green Thorn Ti+D2 version - 4 color options and double row ceramic bearings.

4. Monkey G10+Steel linerlock version - the budget friendly version with steel bearings and 6 color options.

M390 S35VN Ti CF Tabargan 100NS Clone - Buy at your own risk!

This knife was promised by Ben a long time ago, but as it seems - it was worth the wait!
The new Shirogorov Tabargan 100NS clone comes in 2 variations (S35VN and the premium M390) and features milled Ti liners, full CF scales, real Axis lock, double row ceramic bearings in the pivot, ti pocket clip and the awesom Green Thorn fit and finish!
Don't know about you, but I like pretty much everything about this knife and definitely going to order it soon.

EDIT - As it seems, these knives are not made by Green Thorn (just branded as ones) and they have lots of quality issues, such as locktighted screws made from soft metal, that are very hard to unscrew, and lockstick on the axis.
This is a QC issue, so there are some of good quality and some have defects, so buy at your own risk.

New model from Kevin John has arrived!
This time it's an update to a current Ice Breaker Style model (genuine is made by Shirogorov), that comes with similar high quality levels, but with 2 major differences: the blade steel (real M390) and the finish on the handle (beautiful purple-blue ano), that shoot this model straight into the high-end segment.

Sinkevich Do / ZT 0427 Style Titanium Flipper EDC Knife with M390 Blade - A game changer!

A new knife comes to us from Ben's knife shops - the Do, based on the same name flipper, designed by Dmitri Sinkevich.
If you think that you saw a similar design before - you may have, as it is the same knife the limited edition ZT 0427 was based on (with a few slight differences).
It features all of the things, that we love the high end Chinese knives for - Ti handles, Ti backspacer, milled Ti pocket clip, ceramic ball bearings and a steel insert on the frame. It even comes with a tool for the proprietary triangular pivot screws. 
But what is really special about this blade is the blade steel - knife user's favorite M390.
Because it comes from Ben, we know that it is a legit M390 steel, that will cut and retain the edge well.

LW Knives Apachi AH-64 Integral M390 Knife - New level of Chinese manufacturing!

This is a new offering from LW knives, that has been around for a while, making mostly fixed blades.
There are 2 things that are special about this one:
1. It's an integral knife - this means the handle is milled from a single piece of titanium. Because of all the waste and the craftsmanship needed to make it well, it is often considered the most premium knife handle construction. Another advantage is the lack of extra bolts and added strength to the handle.
2. This knife has a real M390 blade - which is a favorite steel for many knife collectors. Because it keeps it's edge very well, but is pretty prone to corrosion it is considered a Super Steel. This is not the first time M390 is used in a Chinese knife, but it symbolizes a trend in the Chinese knife world and my guess is we will see this steel more and more on Chinese knives.
Other than that, the knife features single row ceramic bearings, steel insert on the frame, cool grind on the horizontal satin blade, interesting finish on the handle and custom pivot screw (comes with the designated key).
