That was me. Overall, really good bag. The first one I ordered was this one:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Hers...p-Backpack-Herschel-Backpack/32296006879.html
Although it was great, it was a bit smaller than I anticipated. You can notice that the front pocket doesn't have a flap. It's just a slip that holds very few items. My fiance loved it though and claimed it for herself. The build quality is fantastic, and it looks almost identical to the gen, however the straps are made of PU leather and not real leather. Not sure if the gen uses real or not. We took it with us on a trip overseas and got a lot of compliments from family and friends that we were visiting. It's a Canadian brand that is making an impact globally so that's cool...
Since she took that bag, I got a new one for myself, but I opted for the larger size:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Hers...ack-Laptop-Backpack-Herschel/32364303361.html
This one here has a larger sized front pocket, and the build quality is the same as the other one, with PU leather straps as well. When I received this one, the chemical/plastic odour was incredibly strong at first but it dissipated quickly. Great weekend bag for sure.
After some confusion as to why Canada Post stopped tracking my aliexpress orders, I went to their twitter account and noticed somebody having a conversation with them about it. This was Canada Post's reply:
So looks like there is absolutely no more tracking on international inbound registered items which means no more e-mail alerts on changes to delivery status. Really sucks. I started shipping things direct to my local post office to save the delivery guy trouble for days when nobody is there to receive the package, and they lost their ability to e-mail me when my packages arrive now too. A postal worker had to call my cell phone to let me know about some inbound packages as their system has fallen apart from their latest update.

Very nice this card holders posted, but in AE the 90% is polyurethane, not leather..

Agreed! In fact, I've had a few dealers shop these out for me in China and ship with a watch. Still alive and kicking to this day. lol Another really good source for these plums are the Hawaiian ones on Amazon.

Two knives came in I thought I would share. I purchased these from the Ali seller "bladeart". Typical air mail hkpost turnaround time, otherwise all smooth.
The Benchmade Vex is a knife I always liked but felt I was being disloyal to Spyderco by purchasing a BM with a Spyder hole. The days of blind allegiance are over and I'm much happier trying and collection a variety. This is coming from the same factory that made the gen when BM produced it. The knife model is 10750 and also is available in a very handsome tanto grind also, model 10751. I will be ordering another one of these along with a tanto version. Not because this knife really excels in any catagory, mostly because I like it, I like tanto tip grinds, and I can see myself EDC'ing them. I've sold off most of my knife collection... Lots of nice blades that just sat around being box queens isn't fun.
G10 is alright, the knife is as I said pretty much the same as the OEM Vex, although the maker did change the grind angle on the 10750. The knife only allows for tip down carry. The blade ergonomics make for fairly easy deployment ala the spyderco-like hole (which I prefer to thumb studs) and comes shaving sharp out of the box. The action is pretty rough which was a complaint with the original retail Vex also. I disassembled the pivot, polished the metal washer, lubricated and reassembled. Now deploying the blade is very smooth. Note that the blade rides on one metal washer and one nylon/teflon. The jimping is rounded and useless. The black blade finish is not rugged and scratches easily. The steel is fairly soft compared to boutique steels, but it's functional and strong. Most likely it is the 8cr14mov just like the original production run, an inexpensive but reliable, capable steel many compare to AUS-8. I did some pretty rough testing on the blade and was able to ding the edge a few times battoning it against rocks. I did this for my own interest, I wanted to know how this knife will hold up before I ordered more for EDC rotation. Overall it's not the best but it's a lot of knife for the money. It is what Benchmade intended it to be, a handsome budget knife made to compete against the Spyderco Tenacious. Overally, I really like it. For $13, it's a steal. Considering BM no longer makes the Vex and they hardly ever show up for sale online anymore, I was more than excited when I saw them available on Ali.
BM Vex on left.
The other knife is the RAT-1 AUS8 from the same seller. This is a large knife that reminds me of Ontario sitting down and trying to make something like the Spyderco Military. The story of this knife is that it is slightly larger than the genuine version although it's not determined why the maker did that as they more than likely are the OEM. Improvement over the original? Maybe. It's a big knife. Thick heavy steel liners that should've been skeletonized for weight reduction. Beefy G10 digi-camo scales. Thick Aus8 blade. The blade is perfectly ground and was razor sharp out of the box. Everything is finished beautifully and overall the knife is well made and stout. I have several aus8 knives and am confident this is aus8 or comparable 440. It's holding a good edge, looks well made, and IMO it wouldn't be worth the trouble trying to source something cheaper when they are ordering/stocking/using a particular steel in the factory 24/7. They are going to use what they have, they know, and they are calibrated for.
The pocket clip is a joke. So thin I just bent it upward then took it off. I have a replacement on the way from Ontario. four position carry, so however you like it you can wear it. Again, this is a full size beast so if that's not comfortable for you, then be warned. Brass washers on both sides, smooth deployment, perfectly centered blade with great lockup. Another successful Ali purchase, If you're looking for a beefy pocket folder or your a fan of the RAT series definitely check it out. Before you do, keep in mind you can buy a "gen" one from a reputable dealer for little expense so this may not be the smartest Ali knife purchase cost% wise. Gen's can be had for $27 on Amazon, this knife was $19 on Ali. I was more interested in trying the Ali version due to the larger size and to investigate if it is in fact from the same maker. I cannot determine that, but it's a rock solid knife I would purchase again.
Here's some pics of the RAT1. I have two more knives coming that I will take some pics and post impressions of when they arrive. The Spyderco Vallatton and Spyderco Military should be here anytime.
