Nice! finally bit the bullet on the stretch XL PD1 myself since the K390 is taking forever to drop. Guess ill have to get both!

❤❤❤❤❤

I watched a video of someone who had cut cardboard with this for 6 hours. This is plenty knife for your average user who does nothing more than open packages, processes cardboard, or cuts some rope occasionally. I might buy one for curiosity sake. But that would be the only reason. But that’s because I like to collect and I’m (trying to be lol) a snob.

I had seen someone say 58hrc i believe which isn’t bad. I’m sure there’s variance between them considering it is only ten dollars.

cat saying hello @ 2:53

cuts cardboards with the center portion of the edge, then whittle hair with front portion of the edge that wasn't cutting cardboard; "the edge retention so good! it's still whittling hair". i'm not sure this is a correct assessment of reality my friend.

C'mon... it is less than a meal at 5 guys...

Why is everyone going OUT OF THEIR WAY to use a cheap 10 dollar knife...

I knew the people who spent to much on their knives, would immediately come out to justify their purchases; when this knife listed came out!!!!!!

You need to get a life. It's a 10 dollar knife.

Ozark Trail is nothing but garbage from Walmart.

The handles of those and the police 4 look like a turd

hello sir which one should i choose? cpm cruwear saten version or cpm magnacut dlc version? pm2 my coice i always clean my blades..

You're dissecting this $10 dollar knife like it's an overly expensive super premium knife! 😂....people it's $10 bucks. It's not going to be the best of anything. It has a great edge on it. It cuts stuff. It goes in your pocket. It has a handle. Voila....a knife.

Bought two and put one the tool box in the truck and one on my fishing box. For ten buck I don’t have to worry about breaking it or dropping in the lake. Good for what it is. Wouldn’t carry it every day in my pocket.

I took mine apart as soon as I got it home several weeks ago. Absolutely no threadlocker on any of the screws on mine. IMO, this is a nice blade attached to a POS handle. If the blade is off-center, you can apply pressure with your thumbs to the center of the side the blade tip is closest to, while applying pressure to the ends of the scales in the opposite direction ( kind of banana shaped pressure). That will center the blade. But that also demonstrates how flimsy this knife is. I'm tired of hearing "THIS IS AN AMAZING KNIFE, (for the price)." My $19 Ganzo G721 auto in 440c is immensely better, and sturdier, than this OT knife, IMO. It will be around long after this OT has failed.

My greatest concern…is SpaceX using those bearings.

Good video, first take apart I have seen. I have an assortment box of nylon washers, maybe I will ake one of mine apart and stick them in. Still on 1st edge. Froggy

So they saved 10c by not including a brass washers for the bearings....SIGH That'll definitely be plain glue, not thread locker 🫤

No issues with my knife. Use it in the kitchen (great slicer), for cardboard, string, yard tasks. The weight is good in my gym shorts. Still going strong and worth the $10 I paid for it. BTW, is the flashlight that you're holding from the Cabela's/Bass Pro boxed knife and flashlight set from last Xmas? Man, what a deal that was for $10. I picked up several of each color and knife blade type. I'm a sucker for good cheap knives.

Why would anyone cut brass or aluminum or any other metal with a pocket knife..wood i understand but the other stuff ,i dont understand.154cm is a awesome knife steel

It’s a $10 beater pocket knife. ‘Nuff said.

If someone were handy enough to put in a thicker pivot, then it'd be perfect.

What is the difference between cru wear and k390?

I think the solution would be to lose those bearings and add some good phosphor bronze washers. I'm not a fan of bearings on high end knives. On inexpensive knives it's just causing more failures and issues. PB washers for the win.

It's a 10 dollar knife🤷‍♂🙄

You go through alot to put down a $10 knife.. Everyone in the world likes to cry absolutely anything and everything your proof..

Any idea what size the screws are for the pocket clip.. one backed out.. trying to find replacement

It is a $10 knife people!

" a nickel ain't worth a dime anymore."

its 10 bucks people, cmon...

This is the first video I’ve seen of someone taking this overhyped pos apart, thank you 🙏

Finally, someone takes it apart! On the upside, it looks like those omega springs would be compatible with the Bugout, so that's nice for $10 and likely eventually easy to find at any Walmart. These could be a good source for mod parts, or a good platform to mod/test on.

I have a civivi elementum And a petrified fish 818. I like both. I carry the 818 every day. The civivi hangs out in the night stand.

Generally enjoy your content. Obviously you have a passion for knives. You've outdone yourself on this knife and what it means to folks that enjoy knives. First of all if you're not smart enough to fix it take it back and get your money back! Dude you're talking coated D2, bearings, contoured handles, razor thin geometry for $10 and all you can do is bitch, whine and complain. This knife absolutely outdoes anything ever offered at this price point period. Your persistence to advocate for over inflated companies ,and knife steels is at best incompetent. This knife kicks ass and in spite of your inclination to whine and complain you can take it back to Wal-Mart and get your $10 back.

Excellent information about why exactly it is so inexpensive. Also what to look for in future purchases of any brand. 👍👍😎

maybe a bad heat treat and control over quality. $10 for a knife just does not make sense. thanks for the time and effort for these reviews

People will go to great lengths to put down budget items to justify what they overpaid for. A $10 knife that holds a decent edge is more valuable than any $200 knife to me. A knife to me is a tool, the most abused tool I own. I will never go through enough $10 knives to justify a $200 knife. Lose a $10 knife, go buy another one, lose a $200 knife and spend all day looking for it. Being a bit gritty only affects people sitting around flipping it open, not real world users. The best knife I have ever carried, and still carry today, is a $15 Benchmade 940 Chinese knockoff.

Is there any preventative maintenance that can be done or any simple/cheap upgrades for this thing? You took it apart and didn't say anything about how to improve it.

My question is why do a video that is out of stock and has been for 3 weeks? It doesn't look like they are making anymore.

I was lucky enough to get one when this knife first went viral. I've carried it and used it basically as a fidget toy for the past 3 weeks, or so. I noticed the grittiness in the action. I tried super lube Grease, prolong and WD-40 silicone. What seemed to work best was all purpose wheel bearing Grease. I should have greased it up when I first got the knife to prevent the wear but I didn't because it had bearings.

Absolute Chinese garbage. Stop buying garbage. Enough of this knife. You get what you pay for.

its a good work knife for 11$Bucks, wont feel bad if it breaks

10 bucks.... Damn great value! 👍🏼

Thanks for doing this! As impressed as I've been by the performance I've gotten it's nice to get a peek under the skirt. Nothing here is too shocking, I still think it's the best burner knife on the market.

I’ve been trying to get one of these for a bit now but I think I would be better getting something like a Civivi or Kizer for an extra few bucks that would last a lot longer

Thanks for the teardown if I can find my little bits in this semitruck, I'll be opening mine to see what's under the skirts.

Also looking forward to seeing the Spyderco pd#1 updates and testing. I picked up a couple Police 4 models and an Endura in pd#1. Seem to have great factory edges,very sharp which leads me to believe like cruwear it will take a smoking edge when the time comes. Also waiting till Xmas for the Stretch 2 xl in pd#1 as It will be a gift from my daughter. Hopefully the blade will fit in the g10 version……I don’t see why not. But time will tell.

Thanks G, great to have you back 🎉look forward to more tests and extensive knowledge about knives,hrc and steel performance. Hope all is well. ✌🏼

nice
