Review Sanrenmu 710/7010

Review Sanrenmu 710 / 710LUC-SA

Introduction

Although quality Chinese companies take several years on the market, until today I think it may be true the following statement: if Enlan has as a icon its model EL01 and Ganzo the G704, the icon of Sanrenmu is the 710 (with permission of the 763 model, it also became an icon of the brand over time).

It is true that in recent times Sanrenmu It has renewed its models, its steel used, and even the logo and other details of their blades, but certainly the model 710 has been iconic and one of the reasons that people began to talk about Sanrenmu together with the dearest 763. This model is known as “Poor Man's Sebenza” for its resemblance to the model Chris Reeve sebenza.

Exterior design and appearance

The model presented is the original, the first produced, the classic model 710, but after the renewal of the brand it was renamed to 710LUC-SA, however the appearance is the same except in the print of the blade with the new logo and other text or symbols.

Review Enlan EL08

Review Enlan EL08

Introduction

We all know that in all brands of knives exist a model that is out of the normal due to sales, due for its quality, materials or for an indefinite number of factors.

These "stars" of each brand are sometimes superseded by other models, or can stay in that state of grace for years.

For many years the star quality Chinese brands could say were: Enlan with its model EL01, Sanrenmu with its model 710 (now 7010) and Ganzo with the G704 model. But there came a time when Enlan release its EL08, and the question is: is it the new star of Enlan?.

We try to answer that question throughout the analysis but first we answer another question: what is special about the model EL08 to be even considered for being the star of Enlan regarding the EL series? Well, when it came out it was the most expensive knife of Enlan and one of the most expensive of all quality Chinese brands, but over time other brands such as Ganzo has released some models of similar price, but the Price of the EL08 was higher than normal for the time. I must say I had some unique characteristics in the Brand such the type of locking system or a better steel used against to the normal used (along with the model EL06).

Exterior design and appearance

The design featured in this model is a big size knife (to normal in Chinese knives) with a blade made of 9cr13Mov steel with a “framelock” system very very rare to see in the brand Enlan and a stabilizing disc. The steel is specially good for the standard steel used normally in this category, but i can see a new version of the EL08 with more normal 8cr13Mov that it's a step down.

Review Ganzo G712

Review Ganzo G712 

Introduction

Definitely a knife that is not lost, that's the phrase i would define the model that today i invite you to know.

It is a model of the Ganzo, a copy/based design (not falsified) of the knife Benchmade 860 Bedlam, although unfortunately a bit more limited. As I said you will not be indifferent to its overall design and Persian style. A folder knife clearly aimed at self defense sector. Unlike model 860 having different versions (plain edge, mixed edge, coated blade and without it) Ganzo only makes a version of this model G712 today.

Exterior design and appearance

It is a knife that surprises in style by having a blade "Persian style" with a big upward curve and be extremely pointy, attached to a handle that necessarily must have an end curvature to fit inside that blade.

There is a (blunt) back edge on top of the blade to improve the penetration, ending the back edge in a thickness of about 4 mm for a blade with a total of 9.5 cm approx, and it can say that the top of the sheet have a jimping (with sharp edges) where we can make more force with your finger although it is a bit small for my taste and i prefer the jimping of the Ganzo G704, but it's better than nothing.

Review Sanrenmu GR5-605

Introducción

The knife that we will discuss today is reputed to be one of the highest quality Chinese brand now possibly, but before of validate this statement see what offers us ...

The Sanrenmu brand has experienced in the last year to two years ago some major changes, first have launched a large number of models, and changed the logo placed on the blade and no longer writes the steel they use, which seems to me a mistake. However, it has started using 8Cr14MoV Steel and 12C27 which are good news since before it was anchored in the 8CR13MoV, but even the latter is an acceptable steel and must take into account that the heat treatment is sometimes more important than the type of steel and Sanrenmu knows how to work with it well.

Exterior design and appearance

The first thing you notice is that this knife is small, very small, almost of being hooked to a key ring, but that does not mean that it hasn’t made with the normal standards of quality of Sanrenmu brand and you can appreciate the very good work like its big brothers.

Review Harnds CK6015 Viper

Review Harnds CK6015 Viper

Introduction

This time we bring you the latest surprise in the world of quality chinese knives of a relatively new brand: Harnds. This company came with their models "nyx", "knight", "pandora", "viper" and "blazer" in general the reviews of these models are good and the two higher-end models are "viper" models "blazer" in which G10 handle quality and improved steel makes its main stars. But surely the model "viper" is one that has had the greatest fame and number of sales, and it is what we will analyze.

Exterior design and appearance

There are two versions, the viper CK6015 classic and the viper CK6016 "black mamba" whose difference with the CK6015 is it brings black coated blade and handle with mixed edge. Its design is out of the ordinary, many say it has a classic design, and when I hear this "classic design" comes to my head the old knives, when there wasn’t "tactical" concept, wood or plastic handles, weak locks... i think even though at first glance may seem classic, if we look a little more closely we see that is a wolf in sheep's clothing and it could be well a tactical knife as I'll show below:

Review Sanrenmu 9063

Review Sanrenmu 9063

Introduction

Today we present one of the most interesting knife from Sanrenmu, and this is for these reasons:

Based on the acclaimed and famous 763/7063, the same aspect but smaller, this knife is the dream of many people, a super-muscled 763/7063. But if you look closely there isn’t a brand name on the blade, that is because with chinese laws is not possible overcome a certain blade length and to avoid legal problems this model is not marked at all. This is the theory and the information that is circulating. I can not affirm or deny it, but at least it looks like it is made for Sanremu brand.

Exterior design and appearance

As for his appearance, as mentioned before, It is a 763/7063 with a significant larger size. The difference in size is very significant both handle and blade. I really think a handle that you can get the whole hand is very important, so perhaps for it i don’t like very much small knives. The initial 763 model had only black G10 or black aluminum handle and "axis lock" locking system, but with new Sanrenmu changes of recent years it brought model 7063 with the same look of the 763 but with handles of different colors, “liner lock” and aluminum, while later and I guess by popular clamor, the 7063 model came with "axis lock" while not again be available the old model 763 black G10.
