- TL;DR if you really can't afford the original, you'll get better than the original via one of these clones, and you will almost certainly find it to be a truly fantastic blade.
OK, so if you want to know absolutely everything about the EMP EDC Relative clones on AliExpress , read this amazing review by none other than the chineseknives's resident boffin, / iqh1pzxxjk : / loeaf7xgzi . Major props to him.
He also noted here ( / fknzyvqhvl ) that the QC on the clone relatives is very good (he bought 6 (SIX!) of them to compare notes!)
is the knife still available on AliExpress? do you have a link?
Don't do it. They are absolute trash compared to the real thing.
@@JasonLarkin-bx9wv That is simply not true. See the video description for ample evidence.
RashOne - Just search ali for Beketen Overlord Dinosaur (!??!?) or go to www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805389367052.html .
Nope just some Chinese Ali express seller promoting there BS. It is not a comparison of the clone vs the real thing. But sure promote theft
Nah man, nowhere near the level of the real deal. Sorry they never quite get it right. Not to mention you are supporting the theft of someones hard work by promoting these. EMPEDC is a small business that puts out some amazing designs. The guy has had a huge impact on the knife world. If you have never tried a real EMPEDC knife, you should.
Hi Jason, Thanks for the feedback. I agree that they are thieving from a small company and that I lined the pockets of a thief. And that's a shitty thing to do. For example, there are clones of the DCC Magblade! which, considering that was a Kickstarter project, is too much for me. They may die cos of such clones. However in the real World, I simply cannot afford a $300+ Relative and I wanted to try one. What am I to do?
Anyway, if you cared to read my video's description, I link to an unbelievably detailed comparison of the OG and the clone by a vastly experienced Redditor who concluded that the clone is superior and due to his vast experience, I am inclined to trust his word.
And as you recommend, if I come into some money, I will look for a real EMP EDC on knife_swap for sure. Cheers.
All I see in the link is a guy talking about clones and showing 0 side by side. This leads me to find the whole thing as suspicious, in that it's a schill for AliExpress if not the clone seller themselves. Buying the clone is bad enough, promoting it as better than the original is really insulting to the Designer and those of us that do own them. And it's just incorrect, from the skinny out of proportion clip, to the missing jimping, and poorly chamfered edges, and texture transition, and that is just what I can see straight away, I am sure they messed it up more up than just that.
I get it we don't all have endless EDC funds, and I'm sure you are a good guy that wants to justify a crappy purchase.
