A little too long for some bushcrafting tasks, but its an absolute beast for 40$.

@@vashonmart but you thought you might need a knife larger than a pocket knife ? The weight savings are voided by the extra work and less efficiency of using the wrong tool for the job. Pack the hatchet

[@jotarokujo3603]

@@vashonmart ngl that situation sounds like being ill prepared. That or something has gone horribly wrong. Honestly if you feel the need to bring a knife that big and tough you're probably better off just bringing a hatchet. That said my main point is that this isn't a very good test of a knife's value because this isn't what you buy a knife for. Most knives aren't this tough because they don't need to be and it's significantly harder to maintain a knife that tough once it starts to dull. For example professional kitchen knives tend to be quite brittle but maintain a very thin edge incredibly well. These are fantastic knives but would be absolutely destroyed in a test like this.

So essentially he is grading on a curve and the cheaper the knife the lower grade it gets for the most part because of fabrication cost cutting that allowed for integrity loss.

@@calebz1448 I get that, but I think that that knife performed very well for its price. It's a knife though, and isn't supposed to be ever treated like this. If you want to have a knife thatcan withstand these conditions, then get something with a chunky blade an a bigger angle edge geometry, it'll still be plenty sharp. The crappiest knife experience I've ever had was with a knock-off Gerber that I got as a present lol. The blade was fine enough, but the tang, which was disguised as a full tang, broke out of the handle when I was butchering a chicken. Needless to say I think that you should keep your eyes open for such things. But in general, not all cheap knives are bad, especially if they are just used as dayly carry.

[@calebz1448]

@@sirflamedrop6165 I agree that it is an unrealistic torture test but since he is doing the unrealistic testing we can know that butchering a chicken will be easy work for this cheap knife is my point. If he just butchers chickens though we may miss the truly well rounded blades because so many would pass the test with flying colors undistinguished from the other competitors. Easy tests are for lower performing tools. Complex tests are for professional grade tools when it comes to knives as well as tools of trades.

To all the people in the comments he’s not showing that it can be used as an ax or a hatchet. He’s showing the temper of the blade and the connecting points integrity. He does this to every knife he reviews so I’d say it’s a qualifying test. And equal across-the-board to find out if you want to buy a cheap knife or a little bit better one. 🤷‍♀️ With all the fake advertising poor reviews on the Internet, this is a welcome site to see especially with countries selling cheap crap and lying about what it is. Not to mention they’re quick and to the point you don’t have to go through a 20 minute history of each knife

Can you review the SOG seal strike

[@lonewolf286]

A lot of people cannot afford to buy a two or $300 knife to go hunting or camping. $30 will take a big bite even out of the grocery money and the case don't fit. Just get a new case for it and get one for about 5 bucks

What’s a good price for a budget knife? And what are the best budget knives?

[@bullridermusic2054]

Great video, I have to say this though, that knife failed due to the handle and sheath it came with. The foundation itself, meaning the steel, was actually solid and did its work by bending and not breaking, I'm guessing a softer steel such as 1055 or 1075.

This dude out there trying to build a log cabin with a pocket knife

[@huskiegaming4957]

morakniv is $10 and is somehow much better than a ton of knive companies. funny thing is i snapped the blade on a benchmade fixed blade and then i use a my morakniv for the same task of splitting some small sticks and it didn’t break. a $200 knife broke and a cheap $10 knife did the same task and didn’t break

Cheap knives out of the box are surprisingly sharp. My dad bought me a cheap W33 folding knife, doesn't have a lock, so sharp that it nearly cut part of my thumb off accidentally 😅, but the blade not very strong

Question, what would you recommend for around 50-75 buck's. I just need a decent camping, backpacking knife. I probably would not be too hard on it, but want something that will last and worth money

[@lumpyzx2645]

There are 2 cheap knives that are worth buying. Cold steel SRK and Glock Field Knife. Honorable mentions are any cheap Morakniv and a lot of the cheap Cold Steel knives as well

[@burnheretic3950]

there are all sorts of great inexpensive knives from Morakniv to BPS knives (have been really impressed with them, come with a really well made leather sheath.).

One of these videos you’re going to see a guy in the background with a metal detector

[@fredjackson8408]

I dont buy folding knives anymore. Luckily i have a local knife maker who doesnt charge absurd amounts, and they make insanely high quality pieces. Fixed blade, full tang. Thats what you need for a good knife that’ll last a lifetime.

[@novicebladesman2835]

Some people in the comments don't seem to know what destructive testing is and what it's purpose is. When you test something, you shouldn't just test it once and call it good. You test it far outside its typical use cases, and typically keep doing it until you destroy it. That way you know the limits of your tool and how well it compares to other tools. The average person won't beat the hell out of the knife like this, but when it matters what would you prefer? A knife that has undergone rigorous testing and came out unscathed; or a knife that was tested with paper, thrown against a tree, used to strike a ferro rod once and called "good enough"?

I got a winchester buck knife for 30 dollars. Had it for 2 years,got it at Tractor Supply

[@Main-ng1bw]

Can you do Spyderco bow river or enuff 2 please and thank you

[@shanelefever7704]

Just bought a 135 dollar custom knife for the bush 14 inch overall length 1095 carbon steel so it should do well in the bush being a full tank knife

[@kenny228s]

Most people carry small knives like this because they can’t carry guns or they carry both exclusively for protection.

Cold Steel SRK in the SK5 steel

[@jedediahcoulbourne1791]

Do you have a knife graveyard? If so I'd love to see a line up of the failures

[@rumfilleddrunkard]

See to me a $30 - 50 folding knife is for me to carry everyday for work. So when I drop it, it gets lost, breaks it doesn't matter. And when camping I always have a couple cheap knives in my pack and an expensive fixed blade.

[@kraagnjilwulf1413]

I'm curious what you think of Kizlyar knives. Especially the Korshun and Voron models.

[@ryandubs7826]

You can find a lot of D2 steel knives for $30. QSP Penguin, Petrified Fish Loco...you get the idea - though I suppose it's hard to find a good $30 FIXED blade.
