Introduction
And we continue with party titanium...
This time i want to present a small folder knife with an
air of greatness. Although my tastes are more by big knives, i must recognize
that sometimes don't want or need hold too much weight and not know if you will
have to use a knife, in that case you can take one like this without you
realize, as in a kit survival, for example.
Let's see offered by this piece, with some surprises...

Introduction
Not long ago we were reviewing the great Y-Start LK5011. Well ... it turns
out it has a sister, identical to it but with another blade morphology, and
equally aggressive... do we see it?
Welcome to the titanium festival...

We are going to do the review bearing in mind the previous revision of the
LK5011, a knife with TC4 titanium handle, ceramic ball bearing, flipper and an
"american tanto" blade that scared.

Review Y-Start LK5011
Introduction
Throughout
more than two years of work in this blog we have seen many wonderful knives at
a fairly low price. Now is the time to see what Chinese brands offer us in
premium low-cost ranges.
Let's
start a series of product reviews with titanium, bigger words. We all know the
brand Y-Start, has had some of the most resounding successes of recent times
with models Jin01 and Jin02 for example, very well made folder knives with an
incredible price carrying steel D2 and with a magnificent design and finishes.
Today we are going to see one of its newest models of its high end, ceramic
bearings, titanium... the Y-Start LK5011.
Welcome
to the titanium party...
Exterior design and appearance
The
folder knife is visually different from what we usually see, it's like seeing a
costume from a famous fashion designer, you know you're looking at something
else and it's not the one you usually buy at the mall. It really has a simple
design but that attracts without being able to avoid it, is based on the
japanese kwaiken knife, which was a small dagger that carried the samurai class
hidden under the kimono, for example for self-defense. Hence the small width of
the blade and handle occupying very little space, as well as a rather
intimidating blade.

Review Y-Start Jin02
Review Y-Start Jin02
Introduction
Of these last months, undoubtedly
one of the folder knives that more popularity has reached, even more than some
of the new models of Ganzo, is the model that i bring you today.
Y-Start is a brand that, having
very few models available in stores lets say "standard" (because it
has more models that for some reason do not arrive and we have to resort to
third-party vendors to get them) is slowly breaking through.
I think the Jin01 model has been
a turning point in the brand, not yet very well known, but with the Jin02 model
seems to have reached great heights of popularity.
Today we will check whether this
huge sudden fame of the Y-Start Jin02 is deserved or not...
Exterior design and appearance
The folder knife enters through
the eyes, that's how it is. It has a classic but very elegant style,
emphasizing a specially designed design. It is not a “tactical” knife obvious
at first sight but it is also not suffering from anything to not be...

Introduction
When we reviewed the knife
Y-Start Lk5800 was a phrase that said:
“The Jin01 model on D2 steel from Y-Start also seems an
excellent model to be analyzed.”
I think the time has come…
There are knives that are
authentic tanks, very strong, very thick blades and strong tips for wood and
bushcraft tasks as the Ganzo G720 or G722, others more for self-defense, not as
robust but much more penetrating and with thin tips for piercing as the GanzoG712 or the own Y-start LK5008, brand sister. However, there are other types of
knives, not many as it seems, than are knives with a more classic style,
elegant, and are not designed (initially) for bushcraft or for self-defense. There
are situations that we want a knife that do not call much attention and that
will not scare people in a social time or any other susceptible to these issues
(camping, birthdays in the field in which not all people know us, walking with
friends...). Each type of knife is for a function, task and time ...
Exterior design and appearance
We continue with the talk in the
introduction, it is that the appearance of this knife is what we might call a
gentleman knife. It is a type of knife with classic touches, which does not
attract attention in excess of people, which is not offensive, intimidating or
aggressive,

Review Y-Start LK5008
Introduction
Today i bring you a very special
knife from the Y-Start brand. We started talking about this company, it takes
many years on the market but for some reason is not known really, not like Sanrenmu,
Enlan, Ganzo… A few years ago it has several models of fixed knives that can
still be found, as “knife with wooden handle old style”, or “swordfish”, both
with AUS-8ª steel, also a copy of Baileys S4 on ATS-34 steel and several models.
But it has also made knives for other manufacturers who have put their brand. In
this I want to clarify something about the difference between copying a model
and make a model for another company and then out you with your brand:
Imagine two knives of two
different companies but are equal in design. Companies are called A and B.
It can take two things (among
many others):
1) That
the knife is original from A but B copies its design and puts its brand.
2) That
the knife is original from A but B copies its design and puts the A Brand
(fake).
3) That
the knife is original from A but it offers to B and B put its brand name. But A
puts this model in the market too with its brand (A).
For some of the more quality
knives from Y-Start have gone through the process 3). For example with its
model Jin01, which it is identical to model of Steelclaw and to the Bokër
magnum b&b. The Jin01 model on D2 steel from Y-Start also seems an
excellent model to be analyzed.
A brand through the point 3) usually
very good because it indicates that you have enough quality to other well-known
brands rebrand with its name, for example Enlan also offers some of its models
for Böker, like the EL01 and the EL17, that we can find rebranded.
But today we get the model Y-Start
LK5008, I think it will not leave anyone indifferent, let's see...
Exterior design and appearance
As i said, its appearance does not leave anyone
indifferent, has a fearsome appearance by a little width blade, with a
spectacular back edge, very sharp and long. In general it has a fairly
aggressive look so be careful where you use it to avoid causing fear in people.
