Review Tekut LK5050 Dapper

Review Tekut LK5050 Dapper


Introduction

Tekut is a fairly old brand, has spent years among us, but for some reason, i don’t see they've been too successfuly in dealing with other brands. They have small models but, in my opinion, have never been able to compete with Sanrenmu, and have larger models but i do not see that have been competition for brands like Enlan or Ganzo. Is Tekut a quality brand then? yes, it is, but competition is fierce with many quality chinese brands, and also more and more.

There are some especially interesting model as the Tekut ares model, which exists in version "folder knife" and version "fixed knife". In the case of the version fixed knife it is hard to find, and it's a shame because it has as a good tactical looking (full tang, “tanto tip” ...), but by distribution issue or any other issue it is not possible to find in the usual shops. And in fixed knives chinese brands just take anything and is an area in which Tekut could highlight over other brands.

Exterior design and appearance

What about this little model? Well, the overall look when you have it in the hand is that almost looks like a toy, very small, colorful rainbow… but if we stop of see the knife with innocent eyes and we have abstraction capacity, we can see further and see a very very pointy knife and with "framelock" locking system, actually it features a tactical knife, but for its small size and color that feature is hidden at first view. What I mean by this is that if this knife is made to a large scale would be quite scary.
