A Knife From Temu That Looks Like A Miller Bros T-1 Custom

[@TaïńtȚiçkler-b5j]

I appreciate your videos and your delivery as well. Keep up the good work!!!

[@BladesOnABudget]

Thanks man! 👍

[@mrmouse-ol9pw]

Pocket clip is nuts

[@BladesOnABudget]

Seriously!! Makes no sense! 😂

[@SaveAmerica-TRUMP2024]

that knife looks like it belongs to hell boy...lol

[@BladesOnABudget]

😈 😂

Chopping isn't as hard as batoning on a knife. I took my Elmax PM2 with a Krein regrind to 0.005" bte and used it to chop through an inch and a half branch (took about 4-5 minutes with a sub 4 oz folder). I wanted to see how an edge that thin would hold up to rougher tasks and it was still shaving sharp after i was done. Only folding knife i own right now that I'd feel ok batoning with is my Cold Steel Rajah 2. 6 inch 0.200" blade of aus10 and a triad lock give you confidence. And it chops great too (much more weight, great handle with solid ergos and a kukri-esc shape help)

[@BladesOnABudget]

Yeah I agree. I wouldn't recommend any serious batoning with any folding knife. Even this big monster. Maybe with the big Cold Steels with the triad lock... Maybe... But that .005" grind? That's serious business! 👍

[@MFD00MTR33]

@BladesOnABudget it cuts like a dream. I have a custom paring knife in Aeb-l at 63hrc. It's 0.050" stock and has a FFG, slight convex zero grind with just a micro level (0.001-0.002" bte at most I'm guessing. Not something you can measure with regular tools). Even when it's completely dull, it cuts veggies and cardboard better than most sharp knives.

[@DixieNormus-6969]

My buddy Scotch n Things owns 2 T1s and shows them on his channel often

[@BladesOnABudget]

I saw those. I think his were the only real videos I could find. Kinda sad as these knives really are stunning works of art.

[@razorbackss]

I tested an Izula 2 along side a temu BM clone. Clone came in at 58hrc, izula was well under 50...

[@BladesOnABudget]

like a REAL Izula?? That's pretty disappointing! 😂

[@aarondelaney8029]

I paid alittle over 100.00, this is one nice knife, I will probably get the darker 10in version.

[@BladesOnABudget]

They're pretty surprising. I wouldn't carry it. But pretty cool for the collection! 👍

[@michaelwalker4456]

I think you could easily laser etch the cross feature.

[@BladesOnABudget]

It probably doesn't come thru well on video, but that cross feature is deeply raised/embossed. It's way more than just etching. There's a good millimeter or two of depth to it. I don't know how good those lasers are, but it would be a lot of material for a laser to remove. And then to make it this smooth on top of it all... (like it was hand polished or something) I'm sure it could be done. But it can't be cheap? 🤷‍♂️ Crazy stuff!

[@1ohmwrecker]

I've seen those a million times on Ali lol. Thing is beefy!

[@spicydragon3881]

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and in this case, any real collector willing to spend the kind of $$$ it takes to get into a genuine one of these will *never* ever even consider buying something like this. But if you're looking to cosplay as Hellboy or MadMax you're ready to go.

[@BladesOnABudget]

😂 MadMax for halloween! 🤘

[@williamsipe1151]

I have been searching temu like crazy trying to find one of these. How did you find this? I love massive knives like this.

[@BladesOnABudget]

try searching for "titanium folding knife". I guess I see so many because I've clicked on them before & added them to my cart.

[@Aviation_Professional]

Can't find it either. I give up

[@williamsipe1151]

@BladesOnABudget , I've not used used temu much and my searches generally yield really poor results. It almost exclusively shows me sub-$40 knives. I found it on Ali, but at $230

[@nameless-yd6ko]

@@williamsipe1151 I just bought one there, for that. I don't regret it at all! Temu has em until I sign in and try to pay and they are all sold out. I guess that just keep checking back. Good luck! If you like the biguns, try a District 9 Catastrophe! IF you can find one. Beard of Doom does some reviews.

[@ThreeFortySeven]

This particular design is sold out by several sellers. There is another one with a tanto blade and bronze washers. Has a nice Steampunk look to it.

[@D2G10]

That cross is not handmade. CNC machine can easily do this using proper vector files.

[@BladesOnABudget]

👍 Thanks. I figured they couldn't be hand finished at this price. Still pretty amazing though.

[@nameless-yd6ko]

So, from what you are saying, this knife is too excellent in all areas, probably surpassing the original in some, and one would have to be out of his mind to pay $3,000. for, essentially, the same thing!!!

[@BladesOnABudget]

It's really good. But I don't really think this version would surpass an original in any way. Maybe "as good as" in some ways. But this is a little different because each of the real knives is truly one-of-a-kind and unique from any other knife. It's like getting a unique piece of art from the artist himself. If it was a Spyderco or Benchmade, then yeah, the replica makes a lot more sense.

[@nameless-yd6ko]

@@BladesOnABudget For instance, I've seen the difference between good Chinese 'copies' of USA switchblades and, yes, they are superior in many ways. Some are, at least. If looking for form and function rather than bragging rights. Waving around the overly expensive versions is not touting wonderful art, most often it is just touting how much money you have. And the previous purchase can never fill the hole, there will always be a next..

[@rTz187]

Drop link ' u bought it why cant we ?

[@BladesOnABudget]

😂 LOL. 1) I'm not promoting this knife in any way. Just sharing my experience. 2) They're all over Temu, but it seems that a lot of people can't see them for some reason and I have no idea why. The vendors that sell these things close down almost weekly & open back up under a different name. So any links seem to be dead within a week or less. I'm still seeing the other variations of this knife (no cross on it) all over my Temu feed right now. Maybe try searching for "titanium folding knife". Or add "high quality" to that search - they all seem to say that. Not sure if I can share a screenshot of my Temu page but trying here - jmp.sh/a1pMsoPD

[@rTz187]

@@BladesOnABudget ? you made a video on it ' you are promoting this knife by putting it on line !

[@joelu3230]

Some retailer claim the steel on this knife to be VG10. Take it as a grain of salt.

[@wesb123]

That wouldn't surprise me as VG-10 is soft and outdated (cheap) .

[@BladesOnABudget]

Interesting. Thanks for sharing. The Chinese do a lot of 10CR15CoMoV, which is their version of VG-10. So I guess that would certainly be possible. And it would make this knife even more shocking! 😂

[@Aviation_Professional]

$200+ ok Ok... they can keep it.

[@BladesOnABudget]

yeah, OKK has crazy prices on these for some reason. Temu is WAY cheaper on them.

[@donnzorz]

That knife is easily $150 in machining time alone without any material cost. I don't understand it.

[@BladesOnABudget]

Yep. Me either. 🤷‍♂️

[@masy8525]

Perhaps in China, manufacturing is also subsidized by the government. Protecting one's own industry is not a bad thing.

[@southside1975]

CCP has to feed all it's people so they make up jobs for them to do instead of them doing nothing. They only go after USA company's think about why.

[@SteelAddicted]

Titanium and crap steel r plentiful and super cheap over in china and I’m sure this is made by one of the oem shop owners as a side hustle just like jufule uses srm to manufacture his knives. U can look at this like a wall hanger katana it looks cool but it want hold up like a real katana would. I can’t even find what steel this is using so u can guarantee it’s garbage. Some fakes r worth buying this isn’t one of them imo. Jufule lemifshe and green thorn r the only 3 I’ll spend my money on.

[@rumtata]

150? Way more

[@wbwills2]

Who buys the real ones and why are they made in the first place?

[@wesb123]

For people who like the looks and like being able to use their knife as a weapon, as a pry, a shovel or a hammer. If this one wasn't a clone then I would love to have it.

[@BladesOnABudget]

This thing is like a serious piece of custom metal artwork. Definitely only for people with a lot of money who really love custom knives. But they are really cool.

[@KinKnives]

The Art of it.

[@nameless-yd6ko]

The original can't be worth 30 times the price!

[@BladesOnABudget]

Yeah, if you're only looking at the raw materials and hard costs then definitely not. But if you're a serious collector who wants a one-of-a-kind custom knife that was hand crafted by the original artist himself, then it makes a little more sense. I'd guess that the cost of Picasso's canvas and paints didn't add up to a million dollars. But there are a lot of people who would pay a million to get one of his paintings. Just trying to be fair & see both sides. If we were talking about a Spyderco knife made in a factory by the thousands, then that would be quite different. 🤷‍♂️

[@nameless-yd6ko]

@@BladesOnABudget Understood! But one can hardly compare Millers Bros Blades with Picasso, but you do make a point. There are many with too much money!

[@BladesOnABudget]

😂 LOL! True! It's definitely not a Picasso. I WISH I had that kind of money!

[@nameless-yd6ko]

@@BladesOnABudget Be careful for what you wish, my friend! ;) Besides if you or I had that sort of scratch, imagine all that so many others would have to go without, considering the planet's limited resources! Parenthetically, ever see the movie "Highway 60"? There was a scene where there was a museum of art fakes. Everyone came and pointed out the flaws, the strokes that Picasso never used, etc... The only problem was that all the artwork was authentic, painted by the masters. And anyone could have bought one for $300. as a fake. No one did. Peace

[@watson722]

If anyone has this model for sale, hit me up. All gone on Temu.

[@BladesOnABudget]

How strange. I still see a ton of them on Temu right now. I know that everyone sees different results based on your search history. But there are a LOT for sale in my view right now (10pm EST 12/27/24). 🤷‍♂️

[@watson722]

​@@BladesOnABudgetI'm seeing several similar ones, but not the one with the cross on it.

[@nameless-yd6ko]

@@BladesOnABudget I just tried, they were many there but when I signed in and tried to buy, they ALL disappeared. Aliexpress has had some, but more expensive.

[@WAFFENAMT1]

Looks like it weighs a Ton, not my cup of Tea, A large beefy knife needs to have very sleek lines for me to consider it...

[@BladesOnABudget]

A ton and a half to be exact! 😂

[@ThreeFortySeven]

It’s AMAZING! But don’t buy it.

Chinese Government funds these slave labor jobs profits aren't the purpose undermining USA Company's is.

[@wezlydog]

Why are you comparing a paperweight useless knife to every day useful knives?

[@wesb123]

It's only useless from your personal perspective. Bruiser knives have a purpose in the trades plus there's the pride in ownership and huge self defence factor.

[@BladesOnABudget]

I just like sharp & pointy things & thought this was pretty badass looking. I know its not for everyone. But nothing ever is. 🤷‍♂️

[@KinKnives]

I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of that paper weight

[@KinKnives]

Do you ask this same question to sword videos 😂

[@TCCBLADES]

You still buying fakes, I have the real one of those.

[@BladesOnABudget]

Nice! How do you like it?

[@wesb123]

Dude that is awesome 😎

[@wayneanderson991]

Maybe you could do a comparison Real vs clone for the fun of it.

[@KinKnives]

For most people, a $2000 dollar knife is not practical, affordable or a responsible way to spend money(unless you scalp knives for a profit. To me as bad as counterfeiting). So a clone makes perfect sense

[@nameless-yd6ko]

I was smart enough to buy one of these which, I'd bet, is easily as well made as yours and you paid $3,000.! Who's the chump?
