Sanrenmu 7010 Folding Pocket Knife EDC Knife 8Cr13mov Blade Frame Lock Stainless Steel Handle with Clip

This is a very well designed and well executed example of knife making. and If I were Buck, Kershaw, Benchmade or Spyderco, I would sit up and take notice.I have lots of folding knives and a couple of them are moderately expensive (approx. $100), but none of them are more useful than this $16 knife. Sure, the steel on those blades retains its edge, but, a few strokes from my pocket sharpener and this 8CR13MOV steel is back to razor-sharp.(One of the photos shows the clip removed with a T6 Torx bit, which was easy-peasy.)

Bought on Amazon in August of 2017 for $12. It sits on a small shelf in our kitchen and is used for opening mail and packages. I have many more expensive blades I carry, but in terms of value, this one has been my earliest and best buy. Nothing loose, reasonably sharp blade still, even without sharpening after 7 years. Impressed enough to return and leave a fresh review after all this time.

Great choice for a low budget edc. Bought a couple 5 years back, gave one to my Dad and still have the first one.The new ones from Land seem like the same build apart from a different logo.No frills, no bs pocket knife. Simple and has smooth operation.The thumb stud got loose after some years but I’ve been using this has a edc and giving it a beating.Easy to sharpen and holds an edge reasonably well all things considered.

I have heard of these knives for some time. Most everyone who had experience with it found it to be exceptional for the price and a very good knife overall. So I finally bought one and I agree, it's probably the best bargain knife available even though it now costs $13 (Amazon prices vary, so this may not be true when you read this).It's a "tribute" knife, copying the Chris Reeves Sebenza. The Sebenza has a reputation among the knife knowledgeable as something of the Holy Grail of blades. It's extremely expensive and very well made of premium materials. I finally bought a Small Sebenza and I can attest it is a fine little pocket knife, but the world is full of fine little knives. If function is the main criteria for buying a knife, the Sanrenmu will be sufficient. If pride in ownership and appreciation of material and workmanship and impressively close manufacturing tolerances is important, the Sebenza is the winner.The only thing I don't like about this knife is that the pocket clip is not changeable. You can only carry it tip down and my preference is tip up. It's not a deal breaker since it's small enough to carry in your pocket without using the clip.My knife has a good finish, smooth operation and as perfect fit as you could ask for. The frame lock snaps into place solidly. The blade is standard Chinese upper quality steel: 8Cr13MoV. Many knife lovers disparage this steel because it's not one of the super steels that sends them into effusive rapture. Personally, I figure if it works, it works. This steel works well. It's pretty easy to get a good edge and the edge holds okay--nothing spectacular but good enough for most of the tasks most of us will use it for. The SanRenMu came fairly sharp and a little time on the Sharpmaker with the fine and ultra fine stones got it in the razor category. The 8Cr steel is good to go.Overall, a great little knife. It's not a real Sebenza but it's a perfectly good little pocket knife and I like it.

Super solid, all stainless steel. Has some weighty heft to it for its size. No wiggle in the blade. A little slippery, as you might imagine with smooth polished steel, but not too bad. The frame lock works well, and the jimping on the back of the blade is effective – not too harsh, not too smooth and wimpy. In its solidity, it’s also a little sticky; flipping it open with your thumb is possible… sometimes. Closing will be a two-handed affair or a very careful and thoughtful one-handed technique. If you like this kind of knife, you might also seriously consider the Buck Mini Sovereign 743. It’s about the same size, all steel, hefty and solid. But it’s also a button lock with a free-swinging blade, which makes it super-fun to open and close. Fun-fidgety one-handed open/close. Visually, your preference just depends on your sense of style. The Buck knife is about $12 more.
