I am the guy that will buy anything that looks "nice".
Soooo I just bought this Two Sun "flipper" for 21.00 on the Flea. I only bought it because I have a friend that likes flippers, and it was 1/2 the price it sells on the big river seller.
The reason I am posting this is because the knife looks solid but the Am-river sellers images seem to show a LOT of swarf on the knife.
I am curious if Two Sun is a popular China made brand? Is anyone familiar with them? Are they worth a few dollars to try?
They sell for a lot more than Sanrenmu or Ganzo on retail sites so I am wondering what I will receive.
I do get the fact that this is a forum for collectible knives (mainly) but there are enough Chinese collectors that I feel comfortable asking about Two Sun... They are new to me.

Re: Two Sun knife questions...
Thanks Mike!
I'll take a look...
Edit:
Mostly what I expected as far as opinions but no one said it was plain junk. I guess I'll post up an opinion when I get it.
Thanks again Mike...

Re: Two Sun knife questions...
I have several of the TWO SUN knives. the Chinese are really stepping up the game with the quality of these knives. My favorite TS knives are the Night Morning Designs. check out the TS-18 reverse Tanto D2 steel blade option. super nice CNC knife the mill work is awesome. you really have to shop around to get the best value. eBay takes a lot of fiddling with other bidders to get a good price, ya know other knife people are starting to catch on to the quality of these knives so the price keeps going up. see attached photo

Re: Two Sun knife questions...
Look on youtube for a channel called Luvthemknives. He reviews tons of the Chinese knives, including TwoSun, Ganzo, Sanrenmu, Kevin John, CH, Bestech and many others.
Some of these knives are an AMAZING value. Of course, not every Chinese knife is excellent, and there are also cheap copies and counterfeits. But the good ones are really excellent and beautiful knives with butter smooth operation and excellent blade steel.
Oh, and if you want the best deal on Chinese knives and don't mind waiting weeks or months to get the knife, check out fasttech.com and gearbest.com

Re: Two Sun knife questions...
I have aquired a few TwoSun knives and have found them to be of good quality. Here is a pic of my favorite.
