Beware Halo3 Clones

Post by JerrBear »

Some dealers on BladeAuction are selling Halo3 Clones. Prices usually range from $15 - $24.
DON'T BUY ONE!
I recently purchased one and it fell apart in short order. The blade retracting bar (or whatever you call it) is made of cheap plastic and tends to break and pull right out of the knife without a lot of force being applied. They are inherently defective and cannot be repaired!
I realize I shouldn't expect much for $15 - $24 but this thing is nothing but JUNK!

JerrBear,

Did the HALO clone you bought have imitation horn scales by any chance? :lol:

one for $11 a few months ago and it's never failed me yet.It's the

Bought also a halo clone from Knifezilla a couple of months back and no problems with it, a great clone. Probably just unlucky and got an automatic lemon.

Hmmmmm on a unrelated note: Razor your image needs to be on a server on the net say an Image sever not your hard drive and very few free hosted sites allow you to post an image off site anymore, I'd be happy to let you have a little bit of my space to post your image.
