So having withdrawals of no packages to look forward to I found myself scouring ALi again. I have bought some 'Nike' roshe trainers for the gym, I have an overpronounced gait ( my feet point outwards when I run) , I get special stability trainers for cardio so these are strictly for the weights. They have an modified Nike tick logo on the Ali page but a link takes you to the proper pictures and all looks good so I'm willing to risk it for ~20 bucks. I also have a Hermes iPhone case coming - thanks [MENTION=52234]Ruski91[/MENTION] for the heads up on that.

I was looking to see if they had scale models. I'm into 1/8th Die cast car models. A sex doll thing came up. Very pretty but a little over $1,000 US. Must be a dang good one. I've ordered some stuff this week, watches car leaning etc.. How log does it usually take? I think I'll buy more but we are planning a big surprise gift for my daughter. She will be 24. Time for her first play toy car. She loves the Transformer movies especially the first one whit the 70's style Bumble Bee. We created it except for a few bits like better 60's small black Chevy. and and Edebrock 4 barrel. Not fast but sounds and looks great.

You make a fair point about gen VS rep knives.

However let me ask you a question (you're probably qualified to answer as you seem to know a bit about knives).
What do you think the difference is between a $20 Ganzo G704 and a replica spyderco?

I ask because I've seen a video review of the Ganzo G704 in HARD conditions and it seemed to perform extremely well. And I probably will never use it to THAT extent.
I've read some very good reviews of that particular knife, so I can say that it seems to be a great budget buy. I do not know anything of the quality control with them, though. That is where I would gave skepticism. Like another person said, go with brands you trust.

I look at steel used (for sharpening and what can hold an edge well) as well as verified craftsmanship and quality control. These are things established brands will prove to you. They are not making designer knives but a higher quality piece. Yes, there is some price inflation for branding, but they make some quality stuff.

Damn, I might need to pick up one of those G704's though. Just to see it for myself.

Do not use Betty Xuan seller. Does not ship MB pens. I missed out of the deadline by a few hours to dispute so I couldn't do anything about it.

Sorry to hear that. What a bummer. Not only did you lose the money, but you lost all of this time waiting for something that never showed up. You could have received something else by now. Grrr![emoji34]

Ordered the Ganzo a couple of days ago, so will let you know how it does.

My black belt came today , it's of much better quality than the other one I ordered , I will post pics later .

This is my other one that is of poor quality, quite stiff and wrong logo (10 quid)

This is the Ali picture of my new one that has black with silver buckle. They come in a standard large length and you cut it to correct size. It's supple and the buckle is of better quality. (15 quid) . Cost seems to be relative to quality in my experience .
