WE Saakshi vs Ferrum Forge Stinger - Small Details Review and Comparison
Published: 2 years ago
Today we're going to take a small-details look at the WE Saakshi and compare it to the knife that obviously inspired it, the Ferrum Forge Stinger. We'll walk through all the little ways these knives are similar, how they're different, and whether or not those differences might matter to you. It's also a fun chance to see what happens when you make essentially the same design at two different price points and catering to two (slightly) different audiences!
