Chinese Made Knives...Good or Bad?

[@brentthomas1969]

As a fellow American. Do I need to state why we should be supporting American knife companies with made in America workers? Take it with a grain of salt as I type this on my Chinese phone. I can only hope that we wake up to realities that we have sold out and are only a consumerism country now. It's a shame imho. Thanks for the vid.

[@bolsteredblades1463]

Brent from Kentucky I agree with you that we should try to support American companies!

[@bladeinsider8997]

One of the points I made in this video is how American companies are building cheap crap in China to sell back to Americans. That is something we need to pay more attention too.

Americans won't work their politicians have dumb down their education system to where they can barely read and write the simplest language on Earth. They corporized our mom and pop stores they corporized our school system under Obama they corporized our health care now they're using that against you with covid corporizing your Constitution America's long falling back when they took the ten commandments down they were in trouble now it's over they about to take the Constitution down.America's never going to wake up it's a strong delusion of falling away from Grace it's a spiritual thing and nobody understands it anymore cuz they don't understand spiritual things

People have got comfortable with 10 and 20 dollar garbage. They bitch about there wages then turn around and buy cheap slave labor items. The people who bitch about not being payed enough will force us all into being slaves. We are. Real close now.

[@stevewhilden1769]

@@shaunmcgowan827well said. Our politicians have sold us out and we’ll have to have slave labor here to be able to compete. Almost no one has spiritual discernment now and that includes regular church goers. Our nation is and has been on self suicide fora very long time and the god of this world (Satan) is quickly bringing about a one world government in which the Antichrist will rise up in. We are in very very serious trouble!

First time watching your video. With all due respect, I think the debate about Chinese knife quality was settled several years ago. There are $40 Sebenza clones that 99% of people can't tell from the real thing, and $20 Ganzos that are 97.8% as good as American knives costing 5-10 times as much. Meanwhile, the Bugout with Titanium scales I bought from SMKW got returned because of the poor action and a blade that was impossible to center. The array of excellent sub-$100 Chinese knives is incredible.

[@sjwiz5991]

Ty for ur insight! :) Where can we find these superb clones?

[@Rob_Fordd]

@@sjwiz5991 aliexpress has a lot. Petrified fish is a good budget Chinese knife company that does original designs.

[@cresenciocarreon8140]

We need more American made knives that will last longer.

[@richardkev3077]

Good or bad? Yes. They are. Both. My worst knife ever was an Eafengrow, made in China. It was supposed to be better than a cheap, gas station knife. It wasn’t. My best folder is probably a Kunwu. It’s my most expensive, $30 more than my Benchmade Bugout, but feels like it cost at least twice as much as the Bugout, if not more. OTH, I just ordered an Italian folder. We’ll see how that goes. I have no Chinese fixed blade knives, so I can’t comment on them. My best fixed blade is American, but I have some wonderful fixed blades from Spain, Sweden, and Finland.

Personally, I think buy something to be proud to pass down to your son or grandson or something that will be collectable in the future if you're an enthusiast.

[@Rob_Fordd]

It's been very impressive seeing the rise of mid and high end Chinese knife companies in the last decade, as well as budget tier ones of true worth like from PF.

[@cresenciocarreon8140]

When I was younger I had a bunch of Chinese made knives my Dad told me to quit buying cheap Chinese knives if you want a knife make sure it's American made it it doesn't say made in USA don't buy it.

[@dhavalbhoi3428]

Honestly, American knives are overpriced.

[@silverwiskers7371]

i'd rather pay extra for the MADE IN THE USA any day

[@dhavalbhoi3428]

@@silverwiskers7371 i will, when the prices won't look overpriced to me. 🙂 Agree on that.

[@pistolpaulie4871]

USA 🇺🇸 companies like Schrade, Remington, Buck or Winchester... are made cheaply by the Chinese at American request to keep value at low cost. Chinese manufacturing knives from your private designer from USA, Europe and China like kizer, Kubey, Ganzo, Civivi and much more... are made with high incredible manufacturing and there getting better and better!

[@pistolpaulie4871]

Also, my Chinese knives where sold to me by a American employee from a American business that it’s alive creates job to American by the sales of Chinese knifes. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@TheHeat55]

I'm old enough to remember that Japanese cars were considered cheaply made and a bad investment. The Chinese are taking over everything manufactured, knives included. Their production lines are extremely efficient and mistakes not tolerated.

did a video of this topic, TLDR: you get what you paid for. great content, subscribed!

You need to do more like this...me likey

[@jimbal4863]

I love this video. A topic I was always very curious about. How soon before the gas station lobby comes after you?

[@bladeinsider8997]

Good question!

[@mikeflamion7915]

the prc even owns we-best-tech-civivi-reat-every and all knife makers in china

[@mikeflamion7915]

i d.o not purchase knives from china because of the way the prc treats its people but hoback knives tricked me into doing so by not saying where hoback knives were made-where it said country of origin it use to say usa but they were made in china.hoback lied in omission

[@NikosKatsikanis]

tldr don’t buy these crappy knives, at least the bother f006

[@wizardofahhhs759]

Every Christmas I get a couple of China made knives and they go straight in the trashcan. Most people aren't knife people and don't know a quality blade.

[@jlborish]

If you get any of these "premium Chinese knives", please send them my way for proper and safe disposal. Thank You. Stay safe out there. JB

[@wizardofahhhs759]

@@jlborish That's an oxymoron, there's no such thing as a "premium Chinese" knife.

@@wizardofahhhs759 lol, true...but that's what they called them. 😆
