Lionsteel KUR Clone EDC Flipper Knife - Awesome EDC blade with 4 G10 color options!

A great new offering from the Chinese clonemakers  - the Lionsteel KUR clone.
While they (still) didn't make a copy of the color-changing aluminum handle, they did produce the more budget 4 color G10 alternative, which will give you  taste of the great Lionsteel design.
The knife features a liner-lock, ball bearings in the pivot, a flipper tab as the primary deployment method, mystery steel on the blade (probably 9Cr18) and a deep carry wire clip.
At the price point of ~$40 this could serve as an awesome budget EDC blade.

Newest Spyderco Clones - Lightning Strike CF Military and budget G10 Mamba style knives!

There have been a real wave of clones lately, almost every day a new model emerges, sometimes more. I suspect it has something to do with the holidays and our inner desire to buy ourselves or our loved ones something nice.
The wave didn't pass on one of the most loved companies - Spyderco Knives, and now there are 2 new models available:

1. Budget Mamba clone: a G10 version of the very interesting Brend/Pirela design, one that you won't be afraid to really use. Features liner lock and bearings in the pivot.
Genuine can be found here: Spyderco C196CFTIP Mamba



2. Lightning strike CF Military: I suspect this to be a CF+G10 Ganzo style laminate, but still this looks pretty good in the pictures. RAT 1 with the same materials can be also found in this store.
