Well, it's good to see this thread is still alive. Anyway, I'm not really a knife collector, but I do have some interest in knife as I'm often going for outdoor activities such as camping, fishing (casting) and bowhunting (compound bow).

I do have bowie knife that I bought from local shop with 6-7 inches blade length but I'm not really fancy about that blade as I found out it's not really practical at some situation. So for the last few days I started to lurk around Ebay and Aliexpress to look for good and affordable EDC neck knife. I also watch some review in Youtube to decide which is the best for my use.

my first choice is ESEE IZULA neck knife, but the price is quite stiff for my wallet. There are also fake version of ESEE IZULA in aliexpress at the price of usd8 but youtube review say it's low quality finishing.

So I keep lurking around and found this SCHRADE SCHF16, at about usd15. I did search the company background, it's USA origin and manufacturing their product in China, so chance for me to get fake version is slim as it's cheap and widely available. Good review in Youtube as well

Checked in Mudah.my and the price they sale is way more than I get from Aliexpress, so I place my order from Aliexpress and hoping my rm61 will not burnt (pray for kastam to release my package..huhu). I am Ebay & Aliexpress regular customer, usually I ordered compound bow, broadhead, arrows, fishing rod & reel, camping equipments, motorcycle parts & apparels, electronic stuffs.... and this is my 1st time ordering/purchasing knife from abroad.

below is the picture from seller page, package should be here within 2-3 weeks if everything goes smooth.

received my schrade on May 31st, I like it as the blade is thick and solid. sharp out of the box. Knife weight just felt right when I hung on my neck. also come  with walley knife as free gift

My EDC is a CS Recon Tanto San Mai, its time to put it a home as it to big to carry around in a bag

ooohh spydie

what do you have in mind

one of the knives that is on the way is a spyderco byrd tern i ordered 2 days ago

next time do bulk order la.
i feel like wanting to get 1 or 2 of the spyderco bugs without having to also paying rm200++ from ogm here.

getting bulk is an issue, the custom always will tax over 500 ringgit. thats y sometimes i rather pay more at ogm

just GST only right?
considering ogm marks up around 30-40%...i say that 6% is ok.

Anyone know where else can we get ESEE locally other than OGM?

Anyone know where else can we get ESEE locally other than OGM?

I am a frequent customer of OGM. Ever since they shifted, their price has dramatically increase maybe due to the currency exchange rate. IMO they are way over price even when the tax is implemented into the price compare to other sources out there. Sometimes I despise the business practice in Malaysia, just because u carry a certain goods, it doesn't give you the right to price item at your own desire. Malaysian Boleh

i kinda agree that their price are higher now

but have you seen skl diy

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy overpriced
