May I know whether these online knife stores sells genuine or counterfeits? Seems like those CR and ZT knives are stupid cheap AF

Hi, any recomedations for a good pocket knive sharpener that don't cost a fortune?

budget from RM 40 to RM 100

I share your sentiments, although I'm still young

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

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
