Cudeman Classic Knife Review. A cheap but good slipjoint for $30

If you're an old timey pocket knife fan, how about checking out the Cudeman Classic slip joint in Olive wood. It was invented well before pocket knifves had clips, I think. And even if it wasn't, it still is pretty cool. The knife was manufactured in Spain by fine artisans, I think, and features a 420 stainless steel blade made for cutting stuff. If you think this knife is something you might need in your life, you can buy it off Amazon, where I did. Looks like the price went up by $10 though.

This knife makes total sense if you see it through the eyes of a old timer. The steel makes total sense because the old timers did not give two shits about super steels and the price makes total sense because old timers did not care enough about knives to pay the astronomical prices we pay today. The old timers would buy a knife like this and use it for at least 40 years always sharpening the knife on cheap stones. No need for fancy locks, fancy clips or fancy one hand operation.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Yep. Knives are too fucking expensive nowadays! You know what they say- there's a super steel fan born every minute.

[@ozzlayer]

Your knife reviews are the best and most honest in the web. I Love your channel....bro!

[@renaissanceman18133]

I love knives and knife reviews. I’m sketchy about subscribing to any ‘ol review video channel. But when I saw this video, I paused it to instantly subscribe to your channel. So funny but also informative mang 👍

[@YesterdayMeetsToday]

When my ex left, she said it was because I was unsafely stiff. Rock on Knife Bro!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Hey yo!

[@joshuaritzheimer1382]

Thank you for showing your batoning test. Now I know I can fully trust this knife. Also, it doesn't matter what my next knife is, I'm requesting Narwal horn scales!

[@joeszabo7618]

Batoning cardboard , possibly the greatest troll ever .

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I think I did that once a long time ago- but this was a better attempt!

[@matthill8382]

I was just about to buy this. Thanks for the review!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Hope it helped!

[@chef_nick3022]

You resisted a 420 joke man... you're stronger than a triad lock.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

They should do a proof test on me.

[@danmichell7516]

don t need any more slip joints still had to get a laugh and watch it all the way threw ty bro

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Thanks man!

[@thechugdude]

I really like the aesthetics

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Someone already didn't. Maybe it was the ball sack.

[@thechugdude]

Advanced Knife Bro speaking of, did you know Chuck Norris doesn't teabag people. He potato sacks them.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

How have I missed that one all these years???

[@13bravoredleg18]

Cudeman makes some very nice knives! I have a collection of older discontinued models.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Yeah there’s a few others that look interesting... might pick up some more in the future

[@kenfair8178]

Ok I have to admit that I spit soda all over the place when you started batoning the cardboard heart. Lmao nice Lilly-livered review AKB. Thanks

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I learned my insults from Yosemite Sam!

[@I0nlyRunFactory]

I'm dieing.

[@chrismariani9690]

Love your videos

[@CommonCentsOutdoorsman]

Thanks for the shout out Bro!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

No problem!

[@michaelmackey976]

i thought slip joints was something you did at a concert

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

That too!

[@justpettet3506]

hahahhaha

[@Mrplacedcookie]

Thanks for the review ! I have ordered a PM2 in S110V.... ;D

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Love my blurple!

[@andyliciuse]

i subscribed to your channel bc for some ridiculous reason i like to spend money on knives ill never use. I just bought this exact knife (havent received it yet) knowing full well that ill probably like it, never use it and treat it like absolute dog shit if ever do. Not sure why im writing this , probably bc im procrastinating on studying the stock market course i paid a shit ton of money on. In fact i shouldnt of even of bought the fucking course bc i make terrible decisions when it comes to buying pieces of sharp metal attached to some sort of rounded material. any to the ways keep up the good work your my favorite youtuber at the moment and also i own a benchmade mini grip which i use for construction work and its held up pretty well, probably because ive decided to try and treat it like a knife not like a sharpened piece of rebar i found in the alley behind my old high school i let you know how well i havent used the cudeman once i get it

[@david.69]

Enhorabuena ,Cudeman es una excelente marca española

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Gracias!

[@chuckles470s9]

Found this video while searching for how to baton cardboard. Thx

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

There’s a video for everything isn’t there!

[@josemariaaguascaribot8904]

Nice the specific style of where is it inspired, but almost nothing else.

[@nebulamask81]

LOL that "batoning"

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I knew people would ask for it.

[@Phil-S8]

I really like these slipjoint knives & reviews ... No srsly

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I think I may do a future review of the other older slip joints I have laying around.

[@joekasperek1086]

Had one like that when I was a kid of ten which I got from my foster father{stole} that I used to make stick forts by sharpening a point on one end and pounding it into ground good times. Good review bro

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Did you cut yourself often?

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

That sounds like I was meaning... were you depressed... but I meant- did you actually cut yourself. I didn’t carry a pocket knife a whole lot when I was a kid- so I don’t remember even carving anything. I probably would have cut myself a lot.

[@joekasperek1086]

Nope never cut myself or would have got my ass beat for cutting myself and having a blade

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

That makes sense!

[@hermankaljo3275]

Hahahh enjoyed this one, thanks bro

[@charlescollier7217]

Cudeman? You da man!

[@FreedomFox1]

The Cudeman looks like it is made in the same factory as the Spanish “olive wood Joker knives” on Amazon. (Search without “olive wood” and you get the “Joker Why so serious? knife.”) I got one and it’s exactly as you describe the Cudeman, only with a more traditional shape and some additional finishing details. It also comes in this goofy box with the logo of a Joker (who looks happy to be in the circus), with the sun setting dramatically behind a 9 point buck in the background (consistent with their “sporting cutlery” branding). The box is just so weird... but that’s what you get when you go looking for olive wood knives on Amazon.

[@maxsinventions8913]

Pretty sure they make another one that is like super light.

[@christopher_lp]

I too require very deliberate hard pushes to "get it to close" without my hand slipping.

[@Mr_Tovarish]

Baton like the best of them bro

[@thegreatwhitehope77]

Ahh Cudeman, my favorite Pokemon and was pretty hard to catch Bro's.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Whatever happened to Pokemon Go????

[@Stahlwerk88]

Advanced Knife Bro it went.

[@pcarmical]

I would like to see you baton with a SOG Flash 2.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

It's got that Arc lock!

[@LDmagnum]

I lost it when you said ballsack🤣🤣

[@astrazenica7783]

Who da man -- cu de man I love the handle shape -- Corsican peasant knife style. I find them really comfortable.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Yeah the handle is pretty nice.

[@I0nlyRunFactory]

Baton cardboard by hitting a slipjoint with a stick... You sir have won all the internet.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

It needed to be done. Now the world can explode in peace.

[@chasechenoweth7112]

You’ve got a 12-17 here. You convinced me to get a pm2. It’s great for fidgeting but would be a good replacement for spinners should they be allowed in schools. I’m curious to know two things- the aperture you shoot your close ups at and can I use my external camera mic to record voiceovers? Do you set your mic levels manually?

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

My voiceovers are accomplished at my computer desk with a professional XLR podium mic (Shure MX 418), with my mouth no more than 8-12 inches away. I use an M Audio XLR interface. I do voicevers because I can read from a script and not use a lot of fillers words... plus I have a hard time remembering what to say. If you want good audio you need either a lavalier mic or record into a professional mic. Camera mics suck. Aperture. I have three lenses I use. A Nikkor 50mm 1.4, a SLR magic 25mm .95, and a 10.5mm .95 Voightlander. My frame rate is always set to 24, my shutter speed to 1/50 (1/48 would work too), and my iris is set to 1.4-2.8. I use a Tiffen 77mm variable neutral density filter to keep my aperture set wide. I use adapters to easily swap it back and forth between my three lenses. When I see my EF meter moving away from zero I just twist my ND filter to get it back in the middle. Sometimes I overlook that though and I'll get some under exposed and over exposed shots. Hope this helps.

[@chasechenoweth7112]

Advanced Knife Bro thanks dude. I’m on a low budget but have a canon 80d with a 18-135 mm and an old 100-300 mm telephoto. I have the kit videomic somethingorother. Does 24 FPS actually look more cinematic, and is it that important to get a shutter speed 2x the frame rate? I know it gets that movie sorta motion blur going but I haven’t experimented too much

[@ce53]

You're a funny dude, I like your video.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

And I like your comment!

[@christopherh2352]

420 Slip joint Got it!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

This guy totally gets it!!!

[@justpettet3506]

so fuggin pretty

[@daveglarner2138]

I need more tactical frolicking, Bro!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Tha tactical prance!

[@BornIn1500]

Are lily-livered hands good for giving (or receiving?) a stranger?

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Giving... make sure you use the Jergens though.

[@marshalllaw123]

Double thumbs up for cardboard batoning!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I needed to get it out of my system.

[@49giants3]

This cudeman looks pretty good, but I gotta get a sod buster. Thanks for all the funnies AKB. Your videos are funny as fuck!!! If fucks are funny lol

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Bro fucks are funny, especially between clowns AND giraffes. RIP Toys R Us.

[@KNEXBUILDER19]

How do you like that s110V PM2?

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Love it, one of my top 5 knives.

[@jasonchatham4170]

AKB is always looking for ways to tell people he loves them. 05:35

[@ebosspt]

This is kind of meta, but I'd love to see a total dollar comparison between this comparison and the Spyderco comparison. Tang. Drink. (Am I just binge watching or are you on a video dropping roll? Both?)

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

So my spyderco video Saturday was pushed back because I couldn’t finish it last Tuesday... so then I got two done- and then another short video tomorrow too- not a review but a gear update. That’s 4 in 5 days!

[@ebosspt]

Advanced Knife Bro just when I thought my life couldn't get any better... Thanks man! You keep making them, I'll keep liking them... that's fair, right?

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Sounds good to me!

[@joseoso1]

batoning cardboard and a douk douk cameo ... classic bro.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

The Douk Douk has been... around.

[@tonycanniffe2360]

Have you done the Svord peasant? It's from New Zealand, where they have more sheep than people.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Yep... I think if you search for it it’ll come up- did it a few months ago

[@tonycanniffe2360]

Advanced Knife Bro Thanks AKB. I had seen it.

[@TheCosmicTeapot]

Also, the only place that sells the limited edition lambs wool fleshlight. The more you know. ;)

[@kayok07]

I have this same knife but they do offer a ram or bull horn one on their site with the same product number but different letters I ended up with the olive wood cause like my news I just skim read the shit.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Good to know!

[@AntOfEgypt]

Duuuuude, ya didn’t do the tactical broccoli cut test...[shakes head]

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

NEXT SLIP JOINT REVIEW

[@Fangsinurface]

Hahahahaaa ballsack classic. Bro love your vids man!!

[@ConcreteTurtle]

Cardboard batoning, accept no substitute!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I could go for batoning some cake right now.

[@KilaFusion]

Do you think batoning a beef jerky stick would have more real world applications? I would recommend that for a future review.

[@marshalllaw123]

2:22 that's what she said

[@mitchelldelmar9682]

Did you switch up mic's? Something's different. Same excellent content and all that, but the voice over has a different quality.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Two things... the last few days I have been recording my voiceovers on a different computer and two different mics. Also I was using a shure USB XLR interface. I think it was mainly my gain levels that were different. Plus I'm still getting over this cold I've had for over 2 weeks now, so my voice is a bit scratchy. I have recorded voiceovers in the past on a different computer and different mics... but not with the shure USB interface. Wow... TMI I think.

[@mitchelldelmar9682]

No, I Grok. Have an audio recording setup myself. Knew sumpin' was up.

[@steffenmutter]

I don't share your opinion, that you should have a plastic handle if you're not a fish. Wood is the best material for knife handles in the world. Let me explain, how you preserve wood easily and last it (nearly) forever, if you treat it right. Due to the fact the edge of your knife needs to be sharpened sometimes, it is not really too much effort to take care of the handle as well. All you need is a good 'hardening' oil like linseed- or tungoil. For a very good experience you may mix oil with bee- and/or carnaubawax and get a perfect balm: rub it gently into the wood and apply it on the mechanics: you will never get into trouble with water and it will open and close smoothly . If you've cleaned your knife with soapy water, just give it a wipe with the mixture after drying. You seem to be a great fan of stainless steel blades, too. Let me have a word about that, too; knife is a tool which needs some attention, and I really love knives. I build them on my own and carbon steel is easier to sharpen and the edge is much sharper, the best blades are made of a mixture and inlays of different steel types - damast or even better wootz steel - which is very hard to create - but the strength of these knives is unbelievable. Just do me a favour and try the oil - if it works like I told you here, try to rub some bees wax into the surface of the wood. You will be amazed by the different feeling, when you touch the knife. Thanks for the review, I really appreciate that you like European knives - maybe you should try out some German knives from the city Solingen...

[@midamort]

Honestly just not a fan of the ballsack classic. It doesn’t quite fill the hand like the shaft classic does.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I think you’re being a little hardon it

[@TheCosmicTeapot]

I prefer a more modern, tactical ballsack. It fits better with my SpecOps shaft with its top swedge and prybar tip. If I wanted a ballsack like my Grandpa used to carry, I'd dig the old codger up and and use his as a change purse.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Ok you grossed me out!

[@usernameisusername]

Advanced Vocab Bro. I come here to learn a new fancy word or two.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Ball sack... is that one or two?

[@mr.morris2907]

I need more batoning of cardboard

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Noted!

[@thewaleb55]

Dude where's the Douk Douk?

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Bro. It’s here. It’s finally... here...

[@rodrigoteresa7944]

Looks like a Laguiolle

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Yep... but a little less ornate

[@justinv4036]

"Thaaa... slipjoint's connected to the... Ballsac?" I should change my profile bday so I don't wreck the demographic curve.

[@paul8158]

Laguiolle, the one for the good paid intellectual art lover type of guy. Cudeman looks better and cleaner, 420 AISI doing the job.

[@LTT.Official]

Christ, I lost my shit when you batoned through the cardboard.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Someone had to do it!

[@christamu2]

I think it's pronounced cootie man.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Awww fuck...

[@TheCosmicTeapot]

The name isn't pronounced at all as all of the letters are silent. When saying the brand name, you should just sigh, to express your opinion of people who argue about pronunciation on a murder blade review.

[@christamu2]

TheCosmicTeapot That sounds right. Fk it's gonna be hard to say bad words if U's and C's are silent.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Ffffkkkkkk

[@cletusawreetusawrightus1491]

well, if I were to grade it scientifically, on the Elvis Scale: it's only slightly above In The Ghetto, hovering just under Teddy Bear. thankyaverymuch.

[@warpedone2]

Not my kinda blade, btw decent review anyway

[@michaelmackey976]

2nd

[@justababka]

[@MrSATism]

You know what? I dated a chick who would be against having knife handles made out of animal parts. But then she broke my heart... What do these two have to do with each other? Nothing

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

This one would be ok because it's wood. But if you'd still like to make her mad tell her you skinned a rat with it.

[@MrSATism]

As a Virginian (that lives in the suburbs) I am offended! I would skin a squirrel thank you very much

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Tree rat!

[@40belowful]

that's what she said:) unsafely stiff:) haha

[@Outpost_76]

Just when I thought you had done everything with a knife you baton cardboard. Nice move.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Don’t forget the valentine!

[@Outpost_76]

Loves the heart, nice touch. Showing off your softer side.

[@ryandelehanty8368]

first

[@cromulon3081]

ryan delehanty wow

[@Pew7070]

For future endeavors into knife denominations or other language debacles I suggest what western medicine did: raise from the dead an ancient language that no one remembers how to pronounce and start naming every knife with it while creating an international catalog. This work is guaranteed to bring one’s name to either the annals of history or to annals of ridicule. At lest it seems a good way to kill time. For sure better than developing carpal tunnel writing nonsensical comments on KZbin. 😝🤣😂😋

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Man tell me about it. My wrists are killing me! Wait what’s the dead guys word for that?

[@Pew7070]

No idea. I’m not at that level in the game yet. I’ll try to score “resurrection powers” as soon as I can. Damn carpal tunnel syndrome!

[@eastman1379]

I sexually identify as the guy who commented first. My preferred pronoun is "420 stainless"

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Will 420SL work?

[@acostamarcelo298]

I never say this...in fact, I always try to be positive...but dude...do you live in a bubble?????

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Are you saying I look like John Travolta?

[@CVNOU]

“Lying sack of shit Amazon product descriptions”. Lol.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

And that's the truth.

[@estima8tor1]

I have two Cudeman knives and they are pretty good - unlike this review ....... humor fail!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Awesome man! Glad you’re one of the few who didn’t like it!

[@belzebub2352]

This man is mad funny
