Hi Guys,
Does anyone know anything about these knives? A friend of mine gave this to me. The back story is that he got it from an Uncle who lives in Pakistan. I had been telling him how I was interested in "switchblade" type knives and he surprised me with this. I couldn't find anything on this forum or a few others I frequent about Zhaohao knives. Internet searches have turned up very little. I'm curious what the value of this knife might be as well. I'm guessing between $50 to $100 bucks but who knows...
The blade is VERY sharp!
Knife has a built in LED that you can see turned on in this picture.
Knife also has a built in butane lighter... pretty cool idea
I can see this being useful for camping / hunting etc...
Thanks for anyone's help.
Mo

Re: Zhaohao??
It's been a few years since I had similar items but when I did, I SOLD them at the Flea for $20-$30 and made a profit. So the $50-$100 is "optimistic"
Re: Zhaohao??
Thanks Vagrant... I'm not looking to sell it necessarily, just curious. Were the ones you had the same brand? I'm guessing no since you said "similar items".
Thanks,
Mo

Re: Zhaohao??
I'm sure they were a different bran or unbranded but numerous VERY similar items were [almost] "a dime a dozen" a couple years ago. [The "branding" was often an importers additition.
I stopped selling the real cheapos so no longer pay any attention to them - they may still be "a dime a dozen"
A QUICK review didn't find any with the lighter but LEDs and clocks are still available.

Re: Zhaohao??
Bladeplay.com carries a lot of knives like yours. Here are a couple similar to yours that have LED flashlights instead of lighters, though Bladeplay carries knives with built-in lighters, too.

Some folks call it a sling blade, I call it a Kaiser blade.
