Pocket Knives including some with Damascus steel knives
I'm sure you would need one of these in Damascus
Please don't bring a knife to a gun, rpg and tank fight kids!!!
Can I ask why you need these knives?
why do we need anything?
People use them for a number of things, Hunting, Fishing, outdoors (think camping).
Pocket Knifes some people like having around to cut open boxes, cut other parts off etc.
Stabbing, butchering corpses, zombies, whittling, making traps and stabbing ankles while others walk down stairs.
Don't really need one but the 17" bowie looks pretty good on my key chain. Useful for cutting up apples, trimming fingernails on the bus, as a toothpick, scratching love hearts into trees, really emphasising the points in presentations at work (like a laser pointer but people actually pay attention to where it's pointing) etc
Hi, when does the sale end?
Ah the 29th. Just saw the date haha
Im giving them a go. After i ordered i wasnt too happy to read up these were pakistani i was hoping i was supporting a local company. I didnt expect austrlalian steel as i used to work for an engineering company thay made leaf springs out of foreign steel but we made a high quality product out of it.
We would always steer clear of chinese and middle eastern steel as it had a ton of quality issues. So i guess will see how we go. Im guessing they are all just complete grey imports with no australian assembly?
17" (42CM) B NEW LARGE HUNTING KNIFE BUSH ALLIGATOR DUNDEE BOWIE RAMBO MACHETE
Was it Alligator Dundee that made you think these guys are Aussie?
When Google Translate reads a Pakistani label …
Hi unfortunately these do not have any australian assembly. If you do know of any australian companies still producing quality knives we would love to do business with them. :)
I kind of laugh when I hear people think that an Australian made knife would cost as little as $25. Come on.

I feel that $25 is very different to $295.
That's just me though….
You do realize that we produced offroad leafspring suspension for $22 pair out of $4 of material.
Sell it to retailers at $84 a pair where they would retail it at $480 plus.
Pairs of coils for holden cost us $8 to produce a pair wed sell them for $48 and stores would sell them at $180+
Not expexting it just imagine it would be assembled here from cheap import parts.
@Bullion Baron: Again you'd be incredibly surprised.
Part of the reason why our automotive industry got killed apart from the government is how reasonable quality items can be produced for next to nothing.
First engineering company I used to work for made springwashers, best quality ones in australia, in the 80's china started making them at a ridiculously low price that even though they cost the companyn ext to nothing to make, it was even less to import them.
So they literally bought a container load of spring washers and sold them as their own, no one was able to tell the difference, the quality was comparable, they figured after a year or two, the market would either settle out and they'd buy a ton of spring washers from them again before it happened and when it ran out they'd make them again.
After a few years they were shocked that it just kept getting cheaper…. and even more so that places in australia just would not buy the chinese spring washers, many companies would come to this one and tell them how they'd never touch that cheap chinese crap, yet they'd buy off our company.
It's not like we hid that they were imported, and they even said on the boxes packaged in australia and we'd still charge stupid amount for them.
At the same time as mentioned above, chinese imports killed the leaf spring industry here, we'd make a quality product out of imported quality steel, we'd not touch middle eastern steel at all.
You saw the numbers I quoted above? what if I told you that china was making spring kits for a tenth of the cost that we were, and unlike spring washers, they'd openly sell this stuff to the public and small business.
Got to a point the company got killed because self proclaimed automotive aficionado's and johnny off the street couldnt tell the difference between buying an imported spring kit from china.
Crazy thing was, from an engineering point of view they were good, ours were a ton better but for what they were, and their price, this stuff did the job and did it well, it was using middle eastern and mexican steel which we'd never ever touch and was lower quality, but with how they were producing it they knew people wouldnt buy it with the quality being crap and over the years we watched it improve like crazy until it got to a point where we were seeing our designs getting stolen and reproduced over in china and it took an engineer to tell them apart, the quality wasnt perfect but it was quite passable and did the job well.
You could still sit one next to ours and put it through tests and ours would come out on top, but we're not talking about it breaking or not performing as well by a huge margin, but we're talking about them keeping up with our gear, some slightly lower breaking points and slightly lower weight capabilities.
So you can see why im still intrigued by this….. if the quality is atleast dependable to some extent these could be useful.
If the thing can't cut crap, can't be sharpened and goes to shit quickly, i'll happily stand with you saying $25 wont buy you a quality knife, (or the 48 I paid for mine) was wasted haha.
To put things into another perspective though, should look at how much it costs to make knives for the military.
Here's a hint….. always made by the lowest tender.
It said " 440 STAINLESS STEEL BLADE". But what kind of 440? 440A or B or C
SAE UNS % Cr % Ni % C % Mn % Si % P % S % N Other
440A S44002 16–18 - 0.60–0.75 1 1 0.04 0.03 - 0.75 Mo
440B S44003 16–18 - 0.75–0.95 1 1 0.04 0.03 - 0.75 Mo
440C S44004 16–18 - 0.95–1.20 1 1 0.04 0.03 - 0.75 Mo
If it is professional, it must be clear. So a risk about quality.
At $48 delivered for a 17" BOWIE RAMBO MACHETE it will be the cheapest steel available.
yeah I mean the guy said its pakistani… you dont expect them to know what 440 it is
Shouldn't your title begin with "20% off"?
