I share your sentiments, although I'm still young

BTW, does anyone here know where to find custom SAK scales locally?

i think knife and edc is still a niche hobby in malaysia not to mention the legal predicament that comes with it. the safest way to edc a blade in my opinion is still by multitool. that's why i've come to accept that i would have to stop buying anymore folder if im not going to use it much and just carry sak with me all the time.

and thus, if we want to carry any blades, be discreet, smart and sensible

once I took out my multitool and open a package to examine it in front of the deliverer, they said :"wah dah siap ready pisau ni, bahaya ni"
maybe they're slightly intimidated by my one-hand opening action (it's a Wave)

really smh my hotel trivago

I'm still a student (postgraduate), and my multitools certainly don't see any use except for opening package and maybe using the screw bits, but since i like to edc, maybe i'll invest in a SAK in the future as a "bukan perompak carry"


back to the issue, I think the factor also accounts to:

1. less and less things needed to buy as you've acquired more gears and gadgets and gained experience
2. limited purchasing power compared to some countries
3. limited availability and significantly higher prices like most things sold in Malaysia (looking at you, MREs)
4. relatively conservative mentality of Asian community as a whole regarding EDC, but China seems to have a growing community

if knive and edc community in malaysia are already a niche, I couldn't even imagine the scale of a prep community (BoB, INCHB, etc) here, even doubting its existence since the most devastating natural disaster here is probably flood

none that I'm aware of, or at least none that the international community talks about.

usually SAK just buy at store, with variety of shape type (price based lah)
but i still thinking of getting a kerambit, but somehow still hesitate should i order one from oversea or not.... maybe kastam block then burnt my money

local custom made kerambit feels so "traditional look" not really into tat ori look though

I'm attracted by a Ka-bar knife at 11 street as well but I'm not sure it can reach me or not since the seller is an oversea seller......

Guys, is there a marketplace for local knifenuts to buy, sell and trade their stuff?
I am looking to thin down my collection of mostly folders and a few fixed blades.

Finally able to get a Ka-Bar knife, love the black colored blade tho...

Nice! how much damage? Looking for one too

Bought it with RM600 at shopee. A bit expensive but as long it can reach me safely......

Thanks Radioactive Infused Cola

Anyone know how to import blades from China in small quantity for own use?

Only 2pcs 😅 basically found the perfect one to bring along while Travelling to cut fruit. But can't seem to find any agent that is willing to help bring it in

what's this 'perfect one'? nothing similar u can find locally?

Hahaha been scouring the internet for a few weeks and only nothing similar I can find in Malaysia though.

Seller not willing to ship to Malaysia?

yeaaa, basically taobao doesn't even allow us to purchase if shipping address is in malaysia.
found a few agents that can help ship, but the charges are like double the price of the product itself

Bought many items from Taobao directly including blades. Probably is just your seller. Are there any other sellers selling the same item?

well got pic of what it looks like?
