iKnife Collector

The online community of knife collectors, A Knife Family Forged in Steel

Rostfrei / China Stainless (Unbranded and little known "global" brands)

We've got Steel Warrior/Frost and now Taylor S&W. What about all of those unknown brands and Unbranded knives out there. Many say China Stainless, or just Stainless, Rostfrei, Inox, or nothing at all. Or maybe you have a knife with a brand name you're not sure of and would like to know who actually owns the TM and is the brand worth the money (Rite Edge, Fury, Maxam, etc.) We all got 'em, lets see some of them and hear what you think about them.

How good are the M-Techs? Are they made by Master Cutlery?

Toby, they are made by Master Cutlery, and I find them to be decent knives. Most of the ones I have operate nicely. I have some with wood handles that I will post pictures of later.

Here are some M-tech linerlocks that I picked up as a set of 10. These really look nice and operate smoothly.

Here is a little guy I found while looking at some containers I have of knives today.I don't have a clue who made this knife. I bought it from someone who needed some money and I was trying to help them out.

I've got a couple of the US Classic whittlers myself. I see that the wharncliffe whittler is a dead ringer for the Steel Warrior wharnie.

Never knew that they were supposed to have been designed in Kentucky though.

My US Classic (user) is a dead ringer for my MasterCraft Humpback whittler (keeper).

Different handle materials of course, but I like the nail nicks on the US Classic better...

Someone asked me about this knife probably about 6-9 months ago. I think I started the conversation here. I really didn't have much info on it as someone had given it to me. It is has been a reliable beater knife for about a year now. If you're looking for a junk drawer special, or a rope knife for the boat that you don't have to worry about falling overboard; this knife might fit the bill. I've been very happy with it. It is called "The Claw" and is made by Fury (Joy Enterprises) Current models feature a fully serrated blade.
