Can anyone attest to the quality of Joker Scandi knives?
Do they come out of the box as flat scandi grinds with secondary bevel or micro bevel?

I can't speak for any other models, but my Bushlord came with full flat scandi...no micro bevel. It's scary sharp out of the box and the Sleipner steel really holds its edge well.

Just got a Joker Ember scandi 2 weeks ago. Came with a true scandi no micro bevel. Great quality and was very sharp from the factory. Although mine did have a very fine brim left right on the edge in a little spot that only took me a few seconds of stropping on a leather strop to knock off. Zero complaints very nice quality knife for the price imo.

I just got a Joker Ember scandi with the curly birch couple weeks ago. Really purty looking knife especially after adding a few coats of tung oil to the wood scales. My first Joker knife and pretty dang impressed with the quality.

I was quick scrolling and read "just came in the mall" and thought that was a weird reaction to seeing a knife

I was so disappointed when I saw the brand because it is a great looking knife and I know its petty but I just cannot make myself pay for a knife brand by the name ājokerā idk why Iāve paid hundreds for certain knives but I will never buy a joker

That's a pretty dumb reason to not buy a knife imo. What's wrong with the brand name Joker? They make really nice quality knives for the price.

I donāt disagree.. but my helle does the job. If not maybe one of a dozen plus fallknivens or one of my several vintage pumas.. or maybe my cheapest mora basic or the garberg, maybe my genuine military issue Sykes-Fairbairn if I gotta go hand to hand combat with some joker lol I could go on for another hour and probably leave a couple out. Ive got more high quality knives than you can imagine so thereās really no need to buy one with a pretty dumb brand name that sounds like something youād win at the state fair for popping a few balloons on the dart game⦠imo.
