I've bought from there, it's legit

Amazon had it for $7 more so ended up doing that

I looked at my account, and what I had ordered.

I got a pair of Kershaw Comeback (2055) knives, $20 apiece. Lowest I see them on Amazon is $37. They're great knives.

I also got a couple of the Nightstick TWM-30 Tactical Mounted Light, 1200 Lumens, $50 apiece. Lowest I see that on Amazon is $139.

When you ask "why so cheap?", it's important to note that both of those particular models are discontinued by their manufacturers. So, that doesn't mean they're bad, but they're discontinued.

I think Bereli gets ahold of closeout deals, and that's where the insane price comes from.

In evaluation of both products-
My son has a legit Microtech blade, I got a couple so-so knives from Academy (including Gerber), and before Covid I had picked up some higher-quality Chinese clones from DHGate (A "Microtech" Scarab, and a "Benchmade" Infidel; both under $50).
If that Kershaw is a clone, it's got better steel blade than the Microtech and Benchmade clones. I think it's better than the Gerber, and definitely better than the $20 knives from Academy.

Regarding the Nightstick light, I also picked up a Crimson Trace light/laser from PSA, also on clearance for $50. That is rated for something like 500 lumens, and in testing in my backyard at night, the Nightstick DEFINITELY is far brighter. And far brighter than the Dewalt, Ryobi and other LED lights I got from tool combos. The Crimson Trace is plenty nice, I mounted it into an angled foregrip on an AR to have a light/laser combo (heck, I got the FDE version, which matched that build , so it looks good as well as functions), but for sheer brightness that Nightstick blows it away.

I also got a case of Blazer Aluminum 9mm ammo, for $289, back in May 2022. At the time, that was the cheapest you could find.

The ammo and the Kershaw were ordered in 2022, no tax, free shipping. The Knightstick order was in 2023, they did put tax, still free shipping.
