I have bought these 4 models and I am totally amazed by the quality. The 2 stainless steel ones are chunky, heavy but very solid blades. I sent the dealer on AE a message and asked about the drop point blade, he said no problem, I ordered 2 tantos and received one each, worked like a charm. The drop point is another hefty knife but is well made for just under 20$. Even has ball bearings and flips like a champ. And that slim tanto is just an incredible knife for under 40$! Titanium handles, ball bearing, very pretty design, i really dig it. I'll post reviews of them at some point. Anyway, check them out, i sure will look for more of the Twosun goodness!

I've been eyeballin' this brand. They seem to be nice looking and inexpensive folders. I just dont like that they have these little glitches like no lockbar insert in some of their titanium framelocks. Some of them have it jut not all. I think that titanium always should have a lockbar insert for preventing lock rock.

Agree, but expecting an insert at 40$ is stretching it a bit. I have not had a chance to use mine so far, i'll do a review once i had a chance to get it through its paces.

Got a green thorn cf/ti hati clone from AE when they had the 11.11 sale for 54$. Dual line bearings and 115 grams.. Insert ofc. That knife is a work of art. Have been solely carrying it since it arrived. I just convexed the bevel and gave the bevel a mirror finish. Love it to bits!

I have been eyeing the Two Sun TC4 with D2 blade and Ti handle. How is the quality of TS compared to other Chinese knives like Elan, Ganzo or Sanrenmu.
I would be interested how members rank the quality of each makers.

I would be interested how members rank the quality of each makers. I have only good things to say about the 4 Twosun knives i own. They are original designs and built to a very high standard. They look and feel even more value for money than the Ganzos I own. Which one is it you are referring to as TC4?

Looking at the TS 21. easily my most favorite knife! Stunning fit & finish, beautiful original design. And i was lucky to get it from AE for under 40$. but I would pay double that and still be happy with what i get!

Does anyone know if there is a website that lists all the TwoSun models? Or a contact email that I could use?
The reason I'm asking is because while I was browsing Ebay for the TS20, I came across the TS401 and TS402 which seem to be the same knife but with different blade shapes. I placed a couple of bids and won the TS401 model. Only after winning did I notice that those 2 models didn't have the TwoSun logo on the blade like they typically do. I contacted the seller. He replied that the first batch of the TS401 didn't have the logo but the ones that he has in stock now from the 2nd batch do have it. As for the TS402, he says that they still come without logo.
I find this a bit odd as all the TwoSun I've seen do have the logo. And why would they release those without?
Is it possible that those are copies trying to sell as TwoSuns without actually being TwoSun knives? What do you guys think?

Unfortunately, the AE shop where I bought mine has gone offline and I haven't been able to find another dealer that has any decent selection of Two Suns. As for the Logo, only two of the four i have do actually have the Two Sub logo on them.

Good to know about the logo. All the ones I remembered seeing had it and that's why I was a bit suspicious. The are a couple of guys on Ebay selling TwoSuns right now so it's worth to check it out if you're looking for some more. There are a few different models that I'm considering. Thanks again.

Please post a link if you have a good shop so that I can put it in the buyer's guide.

I have been looking at the TwoSun Brand of Knives for awhile now and decided to get a TS-30.I notice that the pivot screw is different from most others they offer.Kind of looks like the Enlan type but concave rather than convex. Does anyone know if the Enlan Tool would work with this knive or have a solution to be able to loosen the pivot screw to take the knive apart to clean or have the ability to adjust it? All replies will be DEEPLY APPRECIATED.
Thanks in Advance PackN

I doubt that the Enlan tool will work, I cannot see how it would be able to grip that pivot screw. It looks a lot like the Microtech pivot screw and I have successfully used either a flat screwdriver or a larger torx bit to get it moving.
