Sanrenmu 710 vs ESEE Candiru Fixed Blade Neck

My only recommendation is to loc-tite the retaining screws as they tend to fall out after a few years. That being said, the frame still holds together even with all of the lockplate screws having fallen out, which is totally wild. Blade lockup is still fantastic and the steel quality is such that it retains an admirable edge with some effort. For the money, this is one of the best knives I've owned and put it up against the Kershaw Chill for value

The belt clip is excellent, and will not come off without a degree of force. I am not going to use that three letter anagram, but you know what I'm talking about when I say that this is the perfect knife to keep on you at all times.

It's just a tad bit on the heavy side in comparison to my Spyderco Native but the clip tension is just right. I had a CRKT Drifter once and although I liked the size, the clip was horrible. It was too tight and kept messing up both jeans and slack pocket. I thought I'd first carry this everyday since I wouldn't want to lose my Spydercos and Benchmades that cost up to $50 and above

I thought it would be better with the optional micarta handles. They do make a big difference but not length wise. The high quality manufacturing is there and the knife is made really well but after spending $60 on the knife and scales and still not having enough grip, I decided that this wasn't for me. It's too heavy for neck carry and too small as a belt knife
