Hokc Knives

Post by Diver43 »

I looked at a few in a Russian store in Pensacola today.
The Gentleman said it is a Russian design scales made in China, blade is D2 Steele.
I liked how it felt in the hand, but know absolutely nothing about knives. I have a couple Kershaw and Spyderco knives and have made do with them. This knife is a bit larger than a Leak but weighs the same.
Anybody know if them?

They are available on eBay and Ali Express.
Translation: hot Chinese garbage.
Not saying all Chinese knives are bad, but these have an air of stank about them.

Noted. They did not feel cheap at all. Seemed study, but before I throw a Benjamin down, I like to know

$100?!
Yeah. That’s a hard no. The ones I’m seeing range from $15-$60, with $15 being straight from Ho-Chee Min.
Someone is reselling that crap.

What was the store in Pensacola?
I only use ( trust) the known brands and even them are leery. You can get a very good familiar brand for $100

I'm finding the same thing. Wondered why some were 30 bucks and others 99. They definitely felt different.
The dry meat sticks are excellent anyways

Never heard of these things till reading this thread.

Now my YouTube feed is full of a bunch of reviews saying that they are absolute garbage.
