Sanrenmu LAND 9046 vs. CRKT Folding Razel

So, I got Sanrenmu LAND 9046 folder few days ago, and well... It's quite similar to the CRKT Folding Razel:

Even to the point, that they copied the LAWKS lock system:

Both are beefy sons of smurfs:

I guess in both cases, the sturdy as smurf blade is the selling point:

The Sanrenmu knife also has a cord/belt cutter on the backside, liner locked like the main blade

Now, the CRKT Folding Razel cost me like 30e, the Sanrenmu knife... about 13e, not a bad deal

I have been looking at the different models of Sanrenmu quite a bit lately and just haven't pulled the trigger on any of them yet

Great side by side comparison Aleph

Looks very similar

Thanks Ponch!

Sorry for the smurfty pics though, the Oukitel K10k has crappy camera and the lighting isn't great at this time of year $:-\$

Anyways, one thing I noticed: Both knives can be opened easily, if you just push the OHO stud just a little and then flick the knife...

I guess it's the heavy smurf blade that makes it possible

It's the same way with my CRKT Crawford Kasper, it's big beefy blade opens so quick, you'd think it's spring assisted.

I would prefer the CRKT, simply because the blade is designed for use as a wood chisel. The Sanremu looks like it would be awkward to be used as such. However, it looks like the Sanremu would be a great, cheap, semi-disposable work knife you wouldn't care if it got broke, given away, or stolen.

I also like the scale cutouts on the SRM, they look nice and add a touch of versatility to it.
As for CRKT/chinese made knives, the company has most of their models made there sio it's likely that the model existed before CRKT bought it and engraved it, or just tweaked the design a bit and made their own branded model of this knife.

Much like the CRKT Ripple and Kershaw OSO Sweet, which are just rebranded Shuangrong knives
