    That's not a knife. That's a knife!

    • sure it is :)

    What are you trying (and failing) to chop? And how is that relevant to anything?

    • -1

      its a metal wire being chopped. just a quick demo.

      • +4

        If I wanted to cut a wire, I would use snips or a wire cutter.

        What grade is the SS?

        • +2

          That must be the stupidest knife demo I have ever seen and doesn't give me any confidence in the seller.

          Why ruin the knife edge doing a demo of something it's not meant to?

          • @roddy84: The edge didn't get ruined…that was the point I guess.

  • -1

    as mentioned in the description…the stainless steel is salvaged from large ball bearings…so it is either 440 or 316 grade. As I have found them easy to sharpen and the polishing came out good so I would say it is more likely 316.

      I quote "Handmade in Pakistan by skilled artisans"

      Really?

      • -1

        Yes

    • +1

      Why would you make a semi-expensive knife out of 316? Seems wasteful. A generic production knife, sure…but a bit iffy for $100?

      • sorry…do you mean it is too expensive?

        • +1

          316 is just a very cheap steel, that's not a great choice for a knife.

          • @incipient: This knife looks pretty decent…it holds the sharpness well and is not that hard to sharpen as D2.

    • Or 304.
      Or it could be Chrome Steel - which is very common in ball bearings.
      Hopefully it's not 440, as it has pretty poor corrosion resistance for something like a knife.

      • Doesn't looks like 440. Sharpening is not hard…

        • +4

          I didn't neg this deal till now. Your lack of understanding about hardness and corrosion resistance of different steels shows you don't have a clue about what you are peddling.

          Stainless is popular for knives because of the corrosion resistance. The corrosion resistance is the trade off for sharpness. 304 and 316 don't hold an edge because the chromium makes them much softer. HRC 32-35 for Chromium Steels. Stainless is HARD to sharpen well because you really can't get a good edge on it before it folds over.

          Go back and ask your artisans to make them out of 15N20. Then you can charge a premium and tell us how good they are.

    • +3

      I have been a mechanical engineer in manufacturing and maintenance for over 30 years and I don't remember seeing a decent sized bearing with austenitic (304, 316, non-magnetic etc) balls - ever. Austenitic SS is just too soft for either bearing balls or most knives. Even kitchen cutlery, pots etc are rarely made from austenitic SS - it is almost always a magnetic grade (usually 400 series).

      The listed hardness of 440 (around 58 HRC) sounds OK for a blade, but that is the hardened state of a ball bearing - melting the balls down to make a blade destroys that heat treatment.

      I would never buy a blade made from a motley selection of random ball bearings - there would be zero quality control or repeatability because there is such a large variety of materials used for balls.

      This whole thing just smells really bad.

      And, of course, the demo of using a finely sharpened blade (assuming it is finely sharpened) to hack through a piece of wire is just ludicrous - no-one in their right mind would every do that unless they were desperate. And then to claim that the blade was undamaged after doing it is just plain silly - I doubt that there is ANY finely sharpened blade of any price in the world that could hack through wire unscathed.

        Please have a look at this YouTube Video.

        This not the workshop we use but in this video you will get some idea how it is done using the outer cosre of ball bearing not the molten balls.

        In our demo video we haven't done any camera tricks. It can be seen that the blade is sharp enough and maintains the edge after chopping metal wires.

    we have a team of craftsmen that work from their workshops….if you confusing the term artisans with artists then please refer here:

      Once you resort to dictionary definitions, you have lost.

      Pakistan is a wonderful country, but they are not known for making good quality knives.

      You are sourcing cheap shiny recycled blades, using emotive words like 'artisan', and are charging way more than they are worth and are trying to pass them off as high quality.

      I don't like that style of advertising. It's misleading and doesn't help the underpaid 'artisans' that make these…..

        You are entitled to share your opinion here but our knives are decent quality and we are not doing cheap imports via Alibaba using unknown exporter from Pakistan. We have strong links and on ground presence in Pakistan. Since we started this business of selling handmade knives not even one single knife has been returned for quality issues. Please feel free to call us on 0469777784 and discuss in person.

        I hope you appreciate that we are a Brisbane based small business and negative voting on mere suspision may not be the best way to go.

          Wow… reads like a poorly veiled threat?

          You gonna bash him at little lunch behind the bike shed?

          • @Tuba: seems more like he's trotting out the "imma small business; don't be mean" card as an excuse to avoid accountability. why should we have to call them to "discuss in private" when it's an issue other potential buyers need to be aware of?

      • Once you resort to dictionary definitions, you have lost.

        the irony is If your assertion was true, he wins. No word can be misused if we can make it all up as we go.

  • Not ragging on anyone, but I thought hunting knives were suppose to look tough, like Rambo’s one?

    • Yes we are working on that type too.

    Pretty sure this place used to be known as Budget Computer Repairs run by a bloke named Wali.

    You still do computer repairs right?

      You just searched my ABN I guess :)

    I can't believe I'm spending time writing this comment. But I have a soft spot for knife makers..
    To the OP. some suggestions.

    1. If you spent 5 mins on OzBargain you might notice that popular bargains consist of Victorinox knives on sale or even possible commercial knives such as Furi or global when HEAVILY discounted. OzBargainers would sooner own kiwi knives (like I do) than $100+ hunting knives.

    2. $100+ "hand made" knives would probably best of being advertised on platforms such as Instagram or going to knife makers shows or markets.

    3. How is this a bargain? what sale is on? what is the original price. It's kinda starting to get annoying businesses using OZB as an advertising platform. That's why you have received so much hate.

    4. I've never owned one of Ur knives or met u so can't speak for quality or customer service. But your kinda wasting Ur time here…… come to think of it, so I am…. peace ✌️

    • +3

      Quality knives are a niche product, but that doesn't mean that there aren't people who frequent OzBargain who want them and will buy them.

      I have a few quality knives, one of which I got from a good sale on here. If this seller wants to advertise GOOD knives at a good price, then he will probably get some love.

      • i've got as many knives as i probably do with eneloops and what i'm looking for in a knife - especially an expensive one - is brand history, where it's made and info on the knife so i can decide why it's worth what they're asking. not gimmicky videos like cutting through wire.

        might as well go with this made in Sweden, 12c27 Mora knife for $40: https://www.amazon.com.au/Morakniv-Companion-Outdoor-Stainle…

    The sheath is wrong for the knife. It will allow the blade to move exposing it. You will slice your hand just taking it out.

  • +1

    No bargain, just advertising of a mass import.

  • +2

    There are quite a few knife enthusiasts on ozbargain. Don't make the mistake that people won't call you out if it smells fishy.

    If you want to charge 100+ (200 rrp??) for a knife you're going to need to share details like hardness, steel type, treatment, etc.

    At 200 I'd hope you're selling me a semi stainless steel knife with those dimensions
