Coolina Knife Review...Are they worth it or just junk??

[@navagate1900]

Thanks cool looking set, but Made in China is all I really needed to know. There are many Made in the USA sets out there. I'll buy one of them.

[@TheStockwell]

Good for you! "Made in China" is an absolute deal killer for me. Shop locally and buy American. Period. Best wishes from Vermont 🍁

[@Rbhawk3rd]

Yeah. Made in America but getting the metal from China🤡🤡

[@Sophocles13]

Especially for almost $400 ! Total ripoff

[@TheStockwell]

@@Rbhawk3rd There are websites devoted to selling 100% made in America goods - including all the parts and materials. They're worth looking up. 🇺🇲

[@justuh5625]

You want a made a japan set. 😂

[@burnerloco4138]

i got 5 of these and have used them constantly(for a year) and love them i keep them sharp by using them only on a wood cutting board and run them over the stone that came with them every 3-4 months. I've never used any oil on them to keep them form rusting i just wash and dry them as soon as I'm done with them so it is not necessary to oil them. great knives

[@leonidkotkovskiy9097]

Please let me know where you can buy those knives for $95 and $80? I checked on their website sale - Lixy-$199 on sale. Promaja -$119. For Chinese steel it’s a rip off, my opinion

[@thomasgarrison3949]

Thanks for the video. I am also a 100% Disables American Veteran. I love my 60 year old Old Hickory carbon steel cleaver & knives, I can still get the same one @ many local hardware stores for US$40 or less. The only thing is you have to treat it, like you treat your cast iron pots & pans to keep it from rusting.

[@2008bronsonsgirl]

I have the full set and mine have smooth rivets in the handle, perfectly fitted smooth handle, and beautifully made blade. I’m a blacksmith and am very fussy about my steel. This was a gift and I absolutely love it.

[@macefamilyhomestead7848]

I am loving my set!!

Have had the promaja for a year and a half. Use it everyday. Fantastic knife.

I am using these and trying to find one that I am truly loving the best.

[@Tusk2001]

You said the one knife wasn’t very sharp. I’ve gotten many knives that came from the factory that were not sharp enough; so, I sharpened it. I n some cases I actually dull the knife, resharpen and then test it. Was hoping to see more of that knid of thing. However, thank you for doing this!

[@gungagalunga7761]

Appreciate your review. I think I need a few of their products in my arsenal!

I'm seeing this today, 11/25/2023. I just saw a commercial on KZbin then decide to look at the reviews and found you first. So how was there no videos when you posted this review??

[@jwainer4397]

Just got the same 2 knives. The butcher knife is dull as hell and the Promaja is sharp! Did Coolina give any feedback as to the out of the box dullness of the Lixy?

[@macefamilyhomestead7848]

They did they said it was for chopping

[@thorwaldjohanson2526]

Cheap mass produced junk from China that is heavily upmarked and dropshipped.

[@nickprague1481]

The fit and finish of Coolina knives is quite nice, but too costly fo made in China.

[@asherray4969]

Why would you want a knife that you have to keep constantly oiled? I’ve been using crappy knives my whole life with no problem and no maintenance, and now I’m looking to get some nice cooking knives, but it looks like such a headache.

would this be good for shaving wood and using it liek an axe to cut wood for fire during camping?

[@macefamilyhomestead7848]

The blade, Lixy, is not sharp so shaving wood? Probably not. But for hacking I would say yes.

[@ThadHyatt]

I was just about to buy this as a gift for my brother, who uses knives for a living. Sad to say I was sucked in by the ads. Glad i found your video

[@macefamilyhomestead7848]

Yeah me too.

[@macefamilyhomestead7848]

The knife set is nothing but junk. Arrived sharp but the instructions say to keep the knives oiled or they will rust. No matter what the commercials say about them they are junk. I bought 2 knives for what I needed for less than $20.

[@cvmitchell9368]

Thanks for saving me $300.00, also the Made in China was a turn off because I think literally hand made piece by piece.

[@KageNoTora74]

Straight from the box sharpness can be hit-or-miss unless sharpening service is requested at point of purchase with most vendors. request for the knife to be shipped sharp or touch the edge up yourself.

[@shawnmendrek3544]

ah gotcha ty

[@Glide-vd5we]

I just bought two of these knives and they are going back they don't look like they are worth the money looks like something I could make in my garage.

[@davedave7780]

3/8 knife is a chopper cleaver, it’s cutting power is in its spine and weight, it’s like saying an ax is “failed” because you can’t shave with it. Lol. You also need to cut on a weighted surface to absorb impact

[@3balam3]

USA ALL THE WAY

[@macefamilyhomestead7848]

Yeah I would have to agree

[@johntexan4165]

That cleaver is much like the one I purchased at an Asian market, just a little thinner. I like the heft of their blades and the larger size helps with slicing large cuts and chopping.

[@kangjhha]

there all from the asian market😅

[@Dagoth_Ur_Fr]

Does the knife have an Asian bevel? From the description of the blade, it sounds like an Asian bevel. Just want to double check before I possibly buy it

[@macefamilyhomestead7848]

When we got the boxes they were labeled Made in China. Although the ads say hand forged.

[@ncsEsper]

“Seems to be pretty straight.” Great insights!

[@erichelderman6380]

The ( knife ) that is dull or has no sharp edge is note perbsay a knifr, ir is a Cleaver made for chopping through bone for example chicken legs.

[@macefamilyhomestead7848]

If you want to buy them then so be it. I slaughter my own chickens and bought 2 knives for less than $20 to do a way better job than those made in China knives. There is no way they are “hand forged” unless it’s by a 6 year old

[@Len_M.]

These are junk, DO NOT BUY! The Paper test isn't worth anything, go look at knife competitions and you’ll see what Sharp is. This is a modern Ginsu knife (ie junk on TV 😂).

[@James-ke5sx]

Over 2,000 comments on Amazon for the second blade. Different name but same knife. Easy to sharpen the first one. I have one single 25+ year old Chinese kitchen butcher knife. Only been maintained on the 12'' steel bought the same day, still razor-sharp, original grind barely still showing. Chinese have been making knives for thousands of years

[@macefamilyhomestead7848]

That is true James. The boxes did say made in China but I didn’t let that sway me.

[@zancrus9629]

That is great and all...but a lot of crappy knives come out off china as well. I'd like to see a review on these knives after some use for say 6 months or so. I think the biggest issue I have is there are so many commercials on KZbin that are just for garbage/drop ship items/ or just plain scams so it makes me worry about if the product is worth it.

[@macefamilyhomestead7848]

@@zancrus9629 that’s what we plan on doing for these knives

[@James-ke5sx]

​@@zancrus9629 25+ Years ago I bought a 9'' Chinese made kitchen butcher knife, a cleaver and a 12'' steel sharpener. Till this day this is my only single butcher knife. Still razor-sharp and the original edge is still visible even though it is very small. Never needed to use a sharpening stone. I bought it where Chinese people buy their knives at a Chinese market and it says made in China in Chinese. What they sell to the west and what they keep for themselves as night and day . Western dealers would rather spend money on low end knives rather than high quality Chinese knives for profit. $1,000 will buy 1,000 items sold at $5@ or if you buy a $1,000 Chinese knife and sell it for $1,200 notice the difference in profit. 40 years ago I studied Japanese and Chinese wood joinery. $5,000US would get you a low end Shark tooth design saw. $10-15,000 for good quality made by a master. Kubey makes knives with steel from the USA, Germany and Japan and they are exactly the same quality as Coldsteel. I am a retired carpenter and I know tool quality very well and the Chinese are way ahead of USA made knives. Compare a $200 US made knife to a $200 Chinese made knife. No comparison not even in the same league. I have close to 300 knives, mostly Chinese high quality. Trust me they have better artistic design and every country on earth sends PHD level people to China to make high end everything like your iPhone. I sold half my tools about $20,000 worth after retiring, all made in china, all working perfectly after years of usage.

[@terradagon258]

[@gregoryvanek9038]

@@19stacymoore How do you know if they aren't forged?

[@19stacymoore]

@@gregoryvanek9038, well, to be honest I don’t. I do know that when someone claims forging it is assumed that the item is forged by hand. That being said the polishing is only on the blade with the rest of the knife looking like it came out of the fire (rough or authentic looking). These knives appear to be polished from toe to tip. Normally that isn’t the case if you are claiming authentic hand forged blades.

[@BeyondConventional]

Honest reviews tell me this is garbage from China.

[@chickenstripsnbbqsauce659]

The bigger knife is a cleaver and is used for splitting large bone and meat chopping. so it doesn't need to be surgical sharp.

are they made in China?

They always struck me as a gimmick that appeals to burly men who think it looks “badassed” but know nothing about knives.
