ULTRA BUDGET Sanrenmu 7065 Pocket Knife - Full Review

The Sanrenmu 7065 is the budget gentleman's pocket knife that is legal in most countries around the world. It has the classic styling of the old school pocket knives that your grandfather used to carry, and yet it also has modern refinements as well.

This is great for me, I have a Ganzo slipjoint and I'm from London, UK so this will be a good knife to carry with me, thanks as I own several sanrenmu knives :)

[@CanadianCuttingEdge]

I like Ganzo but the best part of Sanrenmu is that most of their knives are original designs. So I always wish them well.

Hi Jake! I might take a handful of these for christmas for gifts! Plain and simple pen knives are very popular here in France. Peolpe-friendly look, very functionnal pocket knife. You wouldn't know it is chinese until you look at the markings on the blade.

[@CanadianCuttingEdge]

The same is true here, at least in Alberta. The classic style of folding knife is still very popular.

[@stanislawmarczak4787]

One of my edc knives. Very sharp and holds the edge. Recently used it to cut retractable radio antenna. I was surprised how little sharpness it lost during the process. I was expecting the blade to be completely damaged. Highly recommended, especially with this price tag.

[@CanadianCuttingEdge]

Thanks for sharing. They used a steel on this model that they don't often use, I am a little surprised it held up that well for you.

[@stanislawmarczak4787]

@@CanadianCuttingEdge I was rather surprised as well. Saying that, the retractable aerials are really just thin tubes. I've cut several times around the piece I needed and it broke off evenly. Still, the knife did a good job and didn't really suffer that much 🙂

[@waldmeisterbrehm]

great review on that gentlemans knife. greetings from cologne, germany arthur 😉

[@CanadianCuttingEdge]

THANKS

[@billlansdell7225]

I have three of these, it's the perfect pocket knife for the UK, and cheap enough not to worry about losing. FYI, the laws in the UK changed in 1988; before that only flick knifes were banned, although a copper could nick you for anything they decided looked like an offensive weapon. The point being is that "pen knifes" were the knife of choice long before everything else was banned. I had a Mikov fish (and still do) when i was a kid, but a Swiss army knife was the thing to have for us youngsters, all the old gentlemen carried gentlemen's knifes or fruit knifes, often with Sheffield steel and silver scales. Occasionally you might see an Opinel in a potting shed or a Boy Scout with a Buck knife but they weren't too common. Why would you need a lock if you are using a knife for cutting? I have never had a slip joint close on my fingers and I would suggest that anybody who has was using their pen knife for a job better suited to an awl or spear. I am always bemused by Americans and Canadians who say they don't trust slip joints.

[@CanadianCuttingEdge]

I agree with you Bill. So many guys who have grown up in North America and are under 35 years old now don't remember when slip joint knives were 80% of the knives out there. I think every person should learn to use a slip joint knife safely, and that will keep them safe with ANY knife, even if the lock fails.

[@markkincaid5]

Love your in-depth reviews. I feel like I know what I'll be getting after watching one. Maybe you should do some separate "rant" videos on your favorite knife topics. You could call it "CCE Goes Over the Edge"!!! I think they could be very popular and I for one would appreciate learning from your experience. Ordered this through your link. Thanks!

[@CanadianCuttingEdge]

I have done a few sort of educational videos - where I talk about various knife related topics. I have ideas for more, I just need to get off my butt and do more of them.

[@stuartduke999]

Hi Jake , I hope you are bearing up in difficult circumstances . UK knife laws are awful ! I personally would have a locking blade over a folder every time . They are stronger and safer ! You have to be very careful with a folder and cannot give it any rough use or you risk serious injury . That's why we all have Moras over here lol ! Thank you for a great review , I ordered two of these from Gearbest on the strength of your earlier quick video on this folder . Best wishes to your Mum . Thinking of you all !

[@CanadianCuttingEdge]

I am standing tall (and round too, but tall indeed). Yeah, slip joint folders always have to be used carefully. There were a couple of generations around the world when folders first started becoming popular who had to learn that lesson, and some learned it the hard way I am sorry to say. Locking blades are safer but any lock can fail so the lessons one learns from using slip joints are good to apply to folding knives with locks too. Yes, fixed blades are the best, and that is why I am carrying small fixed blade knives more and more frequently myself.

[@syafiq271]

what a handsome knife! definitely suits an office dweller like me!

[@CanadianCuttingEdge]

Yeah, there are more and more office folks all the time, and we need more small elegant knives for those places.

[@tonypatey5669]

Nice knife, great explanation, good price. Thanks. Tony

[@CanadianCuttingEdge]

Thanks for watching Tony, it's good to see your name in the comments section so often.

[@stevenagustianus3237]

Great review. Definitely will buy this one, just got the smaller version (4056RUC-SA), great little knife.

[@CanadianCuttingEdge]

Ahh the 4056, that is a very nice knife I think. I don't have that exact model, but Sanrenmu has several all steel knives in the 4xxx series and I have a few of them. all good.

[@stevenagustianus3237]

fasttech still has the 4056 if you're interested.

[@CanadianCuttingEdge]

I might. I have had so many bad experiences with FastTech that I generally don't buy from them.

[@dalecarpenter8828]

Got the jiaheng jh02 .all 4 pocket clip screw heads are stripped .can't take a few pounds off the lock spring .they are far to heavy.

[@CanadianCuttingEdge]

Well if I get the jiaheng I will be prepared for a piece of garbage...

[@johnbarker3372]

Very nice small knife.

[@CanadianCuttingEdge]

Indeed. It is on my keychain or in the bottom of my pocket most of the time lately. That means that the bolsters are getting scratched up but I don't mind, it is just too nice to not use it.

[@clusterguard]

a handy, gentleman's knife.

[@CanadianCuttingEdge]

Indeed. Thanks for watching clusterguard.

[@francescomotolese4644]

I have same model and i love for 5 euro its Super

[@CanadianCuttingEdge]

Thanks for watching. It is indeed a very nice knife and worth a fair bit more than they charge for it.

[@kidbach]

mmmm...bolsters. nice knife. is the spine 90°? welcome back to CCE super secret hq.

[@CanadianCuttingEdge]

Yes, the spine is at 90. I make it a point to say when they are not 90, but I guess I should make sure I just say it each time. There are so many specs to cover - it's challenging to cover them all without the video becoming a list of boring facts.

[@kidbach]

Canadian Cutting Edge your facts could never be bor...zzzzzzzzzzz

[@jasonhoyt8232]

This a great people-friendly knife. A person would have to be very mentally ill to be afraid if how this looks. I only carry knives that don't look "scary " (whatever that means). That can be just as important as whether it is technically legal or not.

[@CanadianCuttingEdge]

That is almost MORE important than if a knife is technically legal or not, since most countries have laws where the police can take a knife away if it seems threatening to the officer, even if it is technically legal. I tend to carry knives that are socially acceptable where I live too. It is important.

[@jasonhoyt8232]

Canadian Cutting Edge indeed. I only carry one modern locking knife: the CRKT Squid. It's very harmless looking. The rest are traditional folding knives (SAK, U. S. Military Scout-style, Imperial Congress). I even carry a large Rough Rider Elephant toenail knife. But it's spear point blades are very non-threatening.

[@pureheroin9902]

The the people in the UK who cry about "deadly knives" this thing still looks like a bloody machete lol My girlfriend's dad thinks every knife I have is ILLEGAL as soon as I leave the property. He even questions if it's legal to have it in my garage lol.

[@jasonhoyt8232]

Pure Heroine Showing him the actual law (which is clear) doesn't help your case?

[@pureheroin9902]

Budding Survivalist I've told him and he knows now what's legal, but he thinks they ALL should be illegal! When I question him about kitchen knives, he just brushes it off as if that makes no sense. It's sad to say but I think the majority of people here think like him.

[@francescomotolese4644]

But my have Micro lateral blade play

[@CanadianCuttingEdge]

It is hard to keep this style of pivot snug. Over time they all develop lateral blade play - I should have mentioned that in the video but I didn't think of it until I saw your comment just now.

[@kacatriku]

15$ in AliExpress now...

[@CanadianCuttingEdge]

still a decent price

[@kacatriku]

@@CanadianCuttingEdge it means around $25 - $30 in amazon... which doesn't make it a decent price. There are mtech usa knives for $10 with a decent steel..or $30 can have a decent multi tool.

[@TheUgly88]

Just bought one from AliExpress for 7 USD.

[@kacatriku]

@@TheUgly88 2 years ago, the link in the description for this knife was with a ridiculous high price...now the link doesn't open or exists. Even AliExpress have different prices that depends on delivery time or different sellers.
