Halo III Clone?
Has anyone had any experience with the Tactical Halo III clone? The one I ordered yesterday supposedly has a 3-7/8" black 154CM SS blade and internal cocking lever (9-1/4" overall length). It appears to look like the real thing in the pic, but looks (as we know) are often deceiving. Anyway, I'll report back when the thing arrives and let you know whether it's a reasonable purchase for less than 25% the price of the real deal or a POS.

Halo III Clone
Thanks much for the reply, Gonzo. I sus pected that the clones are probably not the greatest, but I am a glutton for punishment. The 400.00 sticker on the real Halo III was out of my league right now, so I guess I'll get something (a toy) remotely resembling my 80 bucks worth and chock it up to experience. If I am delightfully surprised (which I seriously doubt) I will let you guys know.

POS Clones
Thanks, Razor. Yes, I agree. I have several non-auto clones that are tolerable, but also have bought some junk I am ashamed to be seen with. Part of the dues for being a knife nut as I am, I guess.

i've purchased clones that i've been happy with, so don't get me wrong... there are definitely some out there that are much better than others.
Just curious, where did you find your halo 3?
please PM me with info, as i'd like to take a look at it. I'm also thinking of getting one of the same type.
The way i see it, you get a feel for a certain knife without blowing $400
A cheapass "Milano" got me started on autos, now i'm buying Damascus Microtechs, F. Beltrame picklocks, customized Mikovs, etc...
clones are sorta like the "Stepping-stone knife".. they lead to more expensive addictions

Repeat after me 100 times. The Chinese will stamp anything you ask them to on a blade. You will not I repeat will not get 154CM or for that matter ATS-34 the only thing you will get for your $10 clone is cheap steel with expensive stamps. Look at other production knives and customs that use those steels and look at the prices. Take the clones for what they are clones right down to the stampings.
