Clip the steel beats knife,
The aluminum metal alloy burns a Zhu haft,
The good product of trip open air

This is what I get from it.
All grow 43 CM, Overall Length 16.9"
The handle grow 12.5 CM, Handle length 4.9"
We tend to say blade length instead. So 12"
The degree of hardness is big in 63, High Hardness (RC?) 63
Heavy 500 grams. Overall weight 1.10lb
Clip the steel beats knife, unsure maybe forged, but just guessing
The aluminum metal alloy burns a Zhu haft, unsure
The good product of trip open air Maybe "Good for overall carry" again just guessing

It looks like it is inspired by the WWII cast aluminum handle Murphy knives.
An example of a Murphy is #28 in this photo.http://www.nwknives.com/Investment/BACK%20COVER.gif
I do like the size and shape. I especially like the mounting method to the car seat. Clever!
The aluminum metal alloy burns a Zhu haft Probably means the aluminum handle was cast onto the tang of the knife (like the Murphys were).
RC 63 would be very hard for a chopper like that blade. lovegbt, are you using the rockwell hardness scale for degree of hardness?
What is the alloy of the blade? Is it forged?

I don't think any insult was meant from Vonderek, love. Your posts are not very easy to understand, but that makes them interesting. :)
And I really like the look of this knife. It is hard to believe it has a Rockwell hardness of 63. Is that really what you meant?
What will the price be in U.S. dollars, and from where could we buy it?

I also like the mounting system.

No disrespect intended. I do like the unusual way the words are put together...it exercises my brain in an enjoyable way. And I admire your efforts at communicating in a language foreign to you.
Back to the knife...looking at the first picture, is that solder beaded around the knife where the blade joins the handle?

lovegbt, your english is funny but your ideas are pretty cool. And you're always welcome here, making fun of you means we like you!
Now, that is one horrendous knife. Were it legal to strap one into my car, I'd probably do it though.

I'm pretty sure that Chinese, not English is the OP's first language. I think we need to keep that in mind when reading his posts.
The good product of trip open air
Yeah- I bet he's just using a literal translation for outdoors. IN many languages they have funky translations for compound words. In Spanish, the term for outdoors is aire libre- literally free air- but when taken in context you would understand what that menas.
That does look like an interesting blade profile on that knife. That's for sure. Hopefully it will be decent quality, but affordable.

Yeah but I like the way he says it better. I'm taking the trip open air. It's zen.
lovegbt, watch your legs on that draw. If the top side of the blade is sharp you could cut yourself very badly.

Camping.
A trip in the "open air" (outdoors) = trip in the outdoors = camping.
Alternatively hiking.
Makes perfect sense as a camping knife.

Hi,
Are you sure you are talking 63 & 67 on the rockwell scale?
By all i know that would mean it would crack like glass
once used on a trip open air.
Yes i am enjoying too.
But the actual steel composition, hardness and price
would be of some interest too :)
Cheers from Germany to China.

Personally I dislike aluminium handles. Cold to touch in cold weather. Slippery when wet? No grooves or knurling (if you can knurl a non-round object) so it might even slip when wet.

I still think "trip open air" sounds cooler that "outdoor."
That's a nive knife.

In Chinese, "trip open air" means taking an outdoor adventure. In English, it reminds me of Timothy Leary.

I hope its a braze or a weld, and not a JB weld.
Man, If I had that mounted in my truck that way thats like 10 years in prison in cali! LOL
I got mine behind the seat, still accessible though.
Pretty cool stuff you guys have in China, I think I'll take a visit, been wanting to drive one of those Chery cars.

The profile of the blades like very nice to me.
I would like to make a suggestion about marketing the knives. Since they are being advertized as outdoor/camping knives, it would be a good diea to show pictures of them in a camping environment. Showing large knives in cars that are easy to reach turns a few people (and police) off.
Are you sure you are talking 63 & 67 on the rockwell scale?
By all i know that would mean it would crack like glass once used on a trip open air.
And a chore to sharpen.
