[@liamkisbee8117]

Bollocks, a proper knife like the American k-bar fighting knife should be able to cut steel bolts with a hammer and withstand bending and chipping because its made from 1095 high carbon steel and has a full tang. Terrible design, in a survival situation you would want the knife not 4 matches a button compass a bit of fishing wire and some hooks.

[@SureNot1622]

Nicely done. 😆

[@dalelaughman460]

"I don't know how much survival you are gonna do with this stuff" ...... I'm dying here!!!!😂😂😂 Thank you Jack for making my day! Thank you for showing what you actually get for cheap.

On Amazon I always check the negative/low star reviews first. That determines whether or not I'll even check the 5 stars.

Mat 👍 Saves a lot of time. Same thing I do on EBay too. There's too many "good" reviews that say "Fast shipping. " or "Looks good " Thanks, but how's the product and what minuses are there, if any.

[@hadmatter9240]

Good strategy ... for most products. You see, this knife has been marketed since _Rambo: First Blood_ was released -- in 1982. It was trash then, and it's _still_ trash. It's a gimmick, like Star Wars action figures. Buy it and put it away as a _cheap_ collector's item.

That blade looks more dangerous for the user than the possible survival situation.

[@rockfordberetta8414]

Dont worry, when the sheath fails it's not sharp enough to cut you... this is just all sorts of bad.

[@robbijohnson6983]

@@rockfordberetta8414 😂😂😂😂

[@hadmatter9240]

You're quite right about it being dangerous to its user, as it _always was_ a bad design. Don't worry though, as this is just a fad. We went through it when _Rambo: First Blood_ came out in '82, and again a year later with _Survivers_ starring Robin Williams. We also went through a "Chinese Throwing Star" (aka shuriken) fad about the same time, but I haven't seen a resurgence of the "Saturday Matinee" _Kung Fu movies_ that sparked my generation's awe of ninjas.

[@Khemtime]

Looks like that survival kit is made from the stuff that falls behind my mother’s sewing table

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Come on Jack. Everybody knows you need to sharpen any knife before you test it. If you don’t believe me just read the comments on my videos ;-)

[@BlackScoutSurvival]

Haha right! I should spend money to do extra work that the manufacturer wouldn’t. The critics kill me. I’ve lost hope in humanity a long time ago

[@johnheller5786]

What! You guys don't spend over $200.00 on a knife and don't sharpen it? Ametures!

[@thyringmaster]

That doesnt make sense I like the idea of testing them the way they come then purposely dulling them then seeing how easy it is to get a good edge

[@peaceboyjohn4204]

thats good expert advice and truth thanks for giving everyone a tip

[@kucing_abu-abu8loon]

No offense, but how if the buyer can't do sharpening knife person?? Or worse, there is a sharpening stone but the buyer is just make a bit sharp knife into a dull knife??

[@juan8777]

When I bought this knife years ago, first thing I did was epoxy Blade to the hande from the inside. The bolt was a little loose. Since then I've used it when hunting to limb small limbs ( with saw) going up a tree on a climbing tree stand, light hacking at brush. It has held up. I wouldnt bet my life on it. But it has served its purpose.

Thanks man I needed a good laugh.

[@theaveragewoodsman6002]

I really like this new series that you're doing.

[@docwatson4531]

If you buy a 18$ knife for your survival kit, you would probably not know how to survive is someone bought and equipped you with a 500$ survival kit. You get what you pay for. However, if you are out in the woods and the only thing that you have with you is a crappy cheap knife like that, realize what you have and make use of it. It is still a piece of metal that can be sharpened. Don't abuse it past what it can handle. It may be a piece of crap, but it can still be a survival tool. Use what you have and improvise.

[@JayJay-pu2gx]

I bought this knife a few years back. I found it exactly as represented in this video, which is, to say the least, "not ready for usage out of the box." I spent some time putting an edge on the blade. I don't intend to use the sawback. The survival trinkets that I received in the hollow handle are a little different as to mixture. But yes, eventually, even with light use (I never used it for batoning) the handguard separated from the handle. Thus followed me spending an afternoon welding every bit of it together, from the ground up. Now, it keeps a decent edge (with attention) and it performs well in light-duty work. It has become one of my favorite knives, but note that I essentially had to rebuild it to make it worth anything. It does well for the things I use it for, and I like to think that it might function adequately in a life-or-death situation. But it is by no means the knife I would carry into the woods or into combat. It works well for stuff around the house and in our yard. I wouldn't buy it again, even though I kind of like it - I suppose because I now view it as something of my own creation.

[@DYLANJJK94]

Do you think it’s worth getting the smallest Rambo knife ? Though I got PT II’s, I actually like the weight to it but by cheap ruko knife and small-medium buck knives are probably better.

[@tweezerjam]

Why did you buy it? You thought it was legit?

[@elmerlopez3924]

I got this same knife about 7 years ago before I knew anything about quality gear, I’ve now been more knowledgeable about knives and EDC gear but that same little kid inside me always likes those huge cheap gody knifes, so much so I still have that same knife all these years later and I STILL us it around the ranch believe it or not. It’s used for those times I don’t want to abuse my benchmades or spydercos. Sad to see it fail so horrifically

[@tweezerjam]

I mean I bought one in like 1992

What Im going to descript here is that, normally when we going to the jungle or bush, we use to bring Parang (Machete). The knife that you hold, I've bought prices RM:189 Malaysia ringgit. The knife is quite sharp been tested penetrated the Wild Houg pig, The survival meaningfull not to cut or spletting the wood, That not going to work. First thing you need to sharpend the blade.

I bought one of those just for fun and right out of the box the blade was loose! I took the knife down in my shop and tore it all apart and rebuilt it from the ground up including tightening the blade the right way and apoxying it in place. I sharpened the blade rewrapped the handle with the proper cord. I used duck decoy cord it is just as good if not better the the actual Rambo knife I gave it a more decent survival kit. I busted out that cheap compass and filled the but cap with JB weld with a bullet casing in the center so now the butt can be used as a hammer! I was pretty impressed with it after all I put into it so I ordered a hand made custom leather sheath for it with the ez lap sharpener just like the Rambo II knife but custom made for this one. I would depend on it much more then I would have right out of the box! It still would not be my go to knife but it is nice to have out by the campfire and just basic camping!

This is why I did some videos to show people what companies to buy from and gear u can bet your life on. To help people from getting screwed and that’s why I follow the channels I do because they care about the customers. When the knife broke I couldn’t stop laughing. OMG!!!

[@alanjagroop1282]

My knive makes a vibration noise with the handle. When holding the knife. I thought it just had a weight inside it. Because it feels good when holding and shaking it. But it has me wondering if it's suppose to be like that. Like if the metal that keeps it together between the handle and the blade. Lose or if it made bad that cause it to be making that sound. Does your handle vibrates when u move it. It's this same compass rambo knive made in China. The handle vibrates when shaking the knife. Does yours do that.

I had the HARDEST time to search/seek the good old United Cutlery version (better made than the Mastercultery/Hollywood Collectible group ones...) but i FINALLY found one in awesome shape in Japan. can't wait to receive it and stab it in my wood display at home. such an ICONIC design. in my opinion its THE movie time of all time even before ANY other Rambo movies / Predator (1987) etc etc.

[@lordmarshall5239]

Do you have a decently priced knife good for batoning you could recommend? I know nothing about knives other than the shank or steel from the blade needs to continue through the handle so it doesn’t come apart like this one did. This would help my winter camping routine. Thanks 😊❤️🇺🇸❄️☃️🛷⛺️
