Survival Knife! 1980s TV Commercial

[unification14]

this is a cheap nife I have it it sucks the sheath is made up of no leather at all it is the worst nife

[halfasser]

@unification14 Knife, not nife.

[stephan123321]

...funny !!! LOL

[Mr308Winchest]

@stephan123321 haha more LOL thats really a funny knife

[Junriah]

I had one of those as kid.

[TheCrazyclarinetist]

Its 420 "Molecular" stainless steel! Made of 100% real molecules!

[MrToshTogo]

We visited my girlfriend's uncle and aunt in the country one weekend. They had a 13 year old kid with this knife, nunchucks and throwing stars. No blowgun, but I think he would have loved one. When he learned I had been in the jungle, he brought out his toys and insisted on showing them off. He broke the knife against a tree while throwing it and it also broke his heart. I bought him a K-Bar for his birthday the next month and became his instant hero. :)

[tennessee226]

We now return to thet saved hit.....?  HITLER?

[JohnWayneColt45]

@tennessee226 "They Saved Hitlers Brain"

B- Movie Horror flick.

[AdventureSworn]

I love how the bonus "free sportsman's knife" is 10 times more practical than the actual knife featured.

[anestis1971]

My saw broke 15 seconds into using it. God bless the 80's.

[CapnJay214Supra]

In the 1980s, you weren't shit if you didn't have one of these flea market Rambo knives. I had the camo one when I was like 11, and I thought it was the bee's nuts. Combined with nunchucks, throwing stars, and a plastic blowgun, this was an essential part of the 80s kid arsenal.

[MrNapalm138]

@CapnJay214Supra Hahaha Hey my blow gun was aluminum ;-) I think our parents didnt mid us having one of these because they all knew we would try to sharpen them with the stone provided rendering them useless as a cutting tool! hahaha

[CapnJay214Supra]

@MrNapalm138 Aluminum? You musta been a rich kid! Seriously though, the first thing I thought when I saw that scene in the new Indiana Jones movie where he blows the dart back into the native's mouth was "they have a one-way valve, you can't do that!"

[MrNapalm138]

@CapnJay214Supra hahahaa oh hell ,I miss the 80s and Im glad I was that age when I experienced it.I still have my switchblade comb I got at the fair when I was ten back in 84 hahaha

[CapnJay214Supra]

@MrNapalm138 Holy jeez, HOW did I forget the switchblade comb?! I broke a blade off an old steak knife and tried to replace the comb with it. Every time you opened it, the blade flew off.

[MrNapalm138]

@CapnJay214Supra Hahahaha Im sooo suprized I didnt try that hahaha

[RcUniverseGuy]

@CapnJay214Supra yup i had the same deal mine was all black even the blade i was the coolest kid on the block... so i thought lolol

[mwillblade]

@CapnJay214Supra Holy crap !! You are so right about the kid's arsenal !!

[TheBeerTracker]

How shit.

[CutleryNovice]

anyone else notice that the tree was hollow?

[cvrivcharles]

@CutleryNovice - It happens.

[NoBSSurvival]

omg I just sharpened one of them before I saw this lol



[Heavyb2u]

I hate to admit this, but my dad and brother both, bought one. I still have my dad's.

[deerhunterp]

@Heavyb2u any good

[Heavyb2u]

@deerhunterp Not at all. It was a cheap plastic grip and the compass bulb leaked soon after we got it. It wouldn't keep an edge either. Having said that, I would be lying if I told you I didn't carry it around like I was something special.  I thought it made me look tough and legit...lol.

[deerhunterp]

@Heavyb2u haha i honestly can't blame you. The world is a lot cooler when you're a kid.

[mrouterrim]

I remember these knives I gave one to my father inlaw. The compase was way off and he ask me was I trying to tell him to get lost.LOL!!!!

[marian20012]

Yea, you can cut with it, fishing, play tennis, swim...

[deerhunterp]

@marian20012 You can even have se with it

[aldankuul]

@TheScott749 Don't wast your money, It's one of the cheapest knives you can get. Do you seriously believe that a piece of wire can cut through a tree? Plus there's that notch in the blade, which makes the blade weaker.

[TheScott749]

i want one

[ismaelillo3]

I want one

[Deemancer]

I still have that knife in one piece. After 20 years. :) Perfect toy for children because there was no way to cut yourself while playing Rambo or Commando.

[MrBobbysmithinhouser]

its funny they dont have a hatchet butthey remembered the stainless steel frying pan, plates ,tent and that snazzy gold belt buckle lol

[cubixthe]

BUTT wait ! THAARZZ MOOA !!

[2KARGARAGE]

Thnx for posting.

[nipzilla]

and!... if you act within the next 15 minutes we will throw in, for free, the Lorena Bobbitt Ginsu Knife Set!

yes! you heard right!!! Lorena Bobbitt Ginsu Knife Set!

one slice and you will cut somebody's dick off!

don't delay! call now! our operators are standing by!

[enjoiorange]

Man I remember those crappy knives

[Ghillieinthebush]

LOL! I had one of these I bought 2 back in the day. They came in a box with Rambo`s picture on it, still have one but the other POS broke right in half doing some work with it.

[spinafire]

"We now return to: They saved Hi-"

Hitler?

[Fosg8]

HOLY CRAP MY MIND WAS BLOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[L134r]

such hardcore survial situation a tent, pots, pans plates etc and you can actualy cut down a small tree with this wire saw! i could kick that thing over seriously look at that sucker swing. it cuts like an extention of your own hand - so true ever tryed cutting somthing with ur hand XD

[alwaysmrknifeguy]

@L134r most epic response ever lol

[larjanus]

And if you order within 1 minute you can screw his wife too!

[max465t]

the knife at the end is probably ten times better in a survival situation

[peace36660]

wow, thats alot of free gifts... o.o

[MrFerretlover]

lol

[adaman04]

I like how it’s a “surprize” gift. Haha.

[1966429fairlane]

I hate my knife it sucks its the same one

[ataraxic89]

I had this

[Eurotrash4367]

You get to keep the sheath because the postage to send it back exceeds it's value.

[NiceHeadMr]

Didn't Rambo use and own this Knife

[reviewsandstuff1]

Lol this is cool

[nopainnogainfreenet]

you can keep the sheath if you send back the knife.

thats a deal !

i called the number, but no one answered.

did they cheat me ?

[reder445]

molecular stainless steel?! omg the means nothing lol

[jbthx1138]

I must have that belt buckle @ 0:48

[davidgould2006]

"THEY ARE THE BEST SELLING KNIVES OF IT'S KIND, EVER SOLD BY US!" WTF???

[LAlonzo70]

holy moly! a knife, sheath and sharpening stone for only $10!!! what a deal!! I'll take two!!

[krazy4knives]

@LAlonzo70 no its a terrible, unsafe, worse than flea market switchblade, piece of shit, and i wouldnt pay a dollar for it. my uncle had one from his childhood, never used. it broke from him just carving with it. big piece of shit.

[knightingalesaid]

The marvel of sales hype. The most worthless knife ever made.

[with33]

lol i bought one of these at a garage sale a while back threw it at a tree handle broke rite off lol

[DobermansRock]

Its not even worthy of the low down, trailer park trash price of just 19.95......

[Glockster42]

Where's Dan Ackroyd with the Bass-A-Matic when you need him...:)

[RatifiedCow]

Its so funny how the knife only comes with the sheath, and the kit if you call within one hour. I actually called the number...they didnt answer...prolly cuz of all the bullshit that made that knife what it is. XD

[CanItAlready]

"They are the best knives of its kind ever sold by us." Har har.

If that knife were worth anything, it could have been used to cut down that small tree.

Oh, *plus* a free multipurpose sportsman's knife. I'm sold.

[afogn]

got one of these knives with a fishing kit when i was 10 i cant remember ever having owned somthing so crappy

[MrFerretlover]

theres a yid on how sucky this is

[jpd782]

I still have this knife in my collection. It's now rusted, the compass is gone. And the blade swivels on the handle. I got it when I was 12. I'm 36 now. Back then, it was the ultimate in awesomness.....For a 12 year old.

[treeboy113]

haha 420 stainless is garbag and i dought it has a good temper oh and no full tang lol yay for sitty stuff

[CanItAlready]

@treeboy113

Oh, no, no. Not *just* 420. 420 *molecular*--whatever that means. There are people who like Buck's 420HC, but this definitely isn't Buck's 420HC.

[KEM451]

I once went down in a plane crash up in the Arctic Circle. Luckily I had this very knife with me. I was able to lead everyone down through grizzly bear infested Canada during horrible winter blizzards in which I used my trusty survival knife to kill the bears for meat and to cut down trees to make impromptu log cabins for shelter. If it weren't for this terrific knife with a compass in the stock and this thing that tells time we never would have all survived. The best $10 I ever spent.

[CanItAlready]

@KEM451

LOL. I'm convinced. Now to build a time machine to go back and buy one of these for myself. :)

[lastoscas7]

jajaja, piece of shit

[andrewubaldi]

yeah i think i will pack my rat 7 my metal nalgene and a ferro rod

[SavageArms357]

I just noticed something, at 0:24 it says "At the bottom of the handle is a precision liquid compass, you'll know where you are and where your going"

Now, how the hell do you find out where you are with just a compass...?

[hamickboy]

that is like a pice of shit im wasting my timetyping

[dcisfun]

best knife ever sold.........by us!!!!! hahahaha some comparison!!!!

the big belt buckle is probably stronger than the knife!

[FlamingFury5]

i wanna find the guy that made these tangless knives and beat his shit in. seriously these cheapass tools piss me off.

[aseglkj]

They should get these as survival kits for our pilots. You know, just to fuck with them. Imagine you eject somewhere over a jungle, you make it down alive, and then you find that this knife is your survival kit.

[SavageArms357]

@aseglkj I really laughed aloud when I read that.

[classicrocker13able]

Ha ha! They did spell surprise wrong. I guess that really says something about the quality of the company that is selling the knife.

[1stab]

Google the zip code. Apparently, some Jewish fellow was peddling this Made in China crap. Hilarious!! I'm sure he made some coin with it.

[aseglkj]

@1stab a jew suckering people out of their money? no way!

[DJJimCowley]

HA HA HA I HAD ONE OF THESE ABOUT 15 YEARS AGO... AND I THOUGHT IT WAS THE BEST THING EVER

[Karletto555]

..and if you buy 2 of them, the A-Team will deliver.

[Taheelur123]

1:13 they spelled surprise wrong.

[Michkuty]

rofl what a piece of junk haha

[TheTobyKing]

holy shit i would order within 1 minute! 10 bucks dude!!

[simplemen55]

hahaha i have the same one, its a p.o.s

[JustWickedSwede]

Oh! I had one of those as a kid!

[FlamingFury5]

back then this would've been a cool knife. nowadays all the full tang knives make this look like a shit

[PazouwhProductions]

i have a knife like this.

[Taino187]

And if your not completely satisfied you can return the knife and keep the sheath and sharpening stone... Bwahaha...!!! LoL...!!! LOL...!!!

When they said this i literally laughed so hard i became teary eye'd... lol... man thats the funniest thing.

No really Keep the sheath! as our gift to you!.. lol...

[iCwalzy]

I found this for sale, its on survival-goods for 11.87.

[gpfwestie]

Holy crap, 420 molecular stainless steel.

I need all of this stuff, in camo please.

[mdglock9]

i just wanted to say i love ya vids keep them coming

[Reaper87xx]

Too bad Destiny's Child wasn't rockin' out then. "I'm a survivor! I will survive!"

[CookieMMMonster]

this knife is shit. The "survival kit" in the hollow handle means that the knife can't have a full tang that runs down the entire handle. In other words, the knife can snap pretty quick in wilderness conditions.

[thereaper1520]

well to tell u the truth...when i was i think 5 or 6 my dad bought the the black and camo......i still have them to this day but they SUCK ASS!..The black one broke and the camo one is bent

[MOUNTAINOUS]

i have a few of these still lol. now they are only 6 dollars online new. funny even with inflation they are cheaper now that then

[pwrmek]

I feel like rambo when I watch this, I MUST ACT NOW!

[SeparateMass]

Got one in 1987 for $5 at an autoparts store. LOL

[flex221]

i got it for 5 $........hehe what a great purchase (if you are 7 yrs old :P)

[sandythebear]

Im watching this with my kabar heavy bowie knife by my side and laughing my ass off

[pesarirooni62]

awwwwwwwwwwww they didn't have internet back then :))

man life sucks without it :D jk

[OutdoorSurvivalist1]

I used to own the sportsman knife. I swear that little things better then the other large knife. The "survivor" broke when I was batonnig with it.

DONT BUY THIS!!!

[TheRapistRaper]

THAT'S IT I'M CALLING RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!

[TheRapistRaper]

ONLY $10 THAT'S REDONKULOUS!!

[5kilz]

420 steel ? wtf :D

[theillusionist6677]

@5kilz never heard of it, is it horrible

[5kilz]

you can be sure :D

note: if knife have 420- 440 it's not a knife.

[victorinoxfan]

@5kilz

Actually 440C if heat treated very well it is quite a good performer (surpasses AUS-8)

[Reaper87xx]

@5kilz Wah?! 420HC and 440C are legend. 420HC with a good heat treat is an oustanding all around and user friendly steel. And well made 440C is pretty much the standard and benchmark on how all other steels are made. 440C was the first true super steel. There is nothing wrong with 440C.

[tapeworm1111]

Lol

[mindstormsabrewin]

When I was a kid, I tried to saw through a grapefruit with this thing. The citric acid dissolved it right before my very eyes! Well at least I still had the handle with the magic 8-ball in it. I guess that counts for something.

[SimpleSurvival101]

this video made me laught so hard i spit up my poprocks and lazer cola!

Ok at 12 we thought this was the coolest knife ever untill it broke the first time we used it LOL!!!!

[nopainnogainfreenet]

I broke the spine on mine while opening a tough bottle.

I must have mistreated the molecular steel.

[Dsparil666]

LOL I remember this piece of shit. I bought one when I was in the boyscouts for $5 and it broke on the first day.

[slowtaknow]

that belt buckle was boss!

[johndoug711]

lol. i had one of those when i was about 10 years old. haha, cant believe what crap you love when you 10.

[nesbitt615]

I remember this commercial -funny as hell

[jalen77232]

10# wow does anybody like swiss army knives

[BillyTheBushwacker]

Wow that cable saw is actually capable of cutting down a small tree.....and the waterproof matches will create a BLAZING fire for your survival. WOW it's made of 420 MOLECULAR steel.

[HadesObsidian]

0:29 - Oh look, over there! That's where I left my pinto and Thundercats sleeping bag.

[spamerman]

I bought one of thies at goodwill for 5 bucks, it was an expencive bottle opener.

[80spodcastchannel]

gads...what a peice of utter craptastic junk.. 420 stainless is basically scrap steel,

the construction makes me wonder why it didnt break when they threw it at the tree.

[iheervoyses]

I actually fell for this commercial. Man, was i pissed. This was the biggest piece of crap i ever bought. It took about a month before i got over it. it's funny now seeing the commercial, and thinking back on it. But at the time it wasn't funny at all.

[nofgood4live]

we call knives rambo knives,. because when this came out,the movie rambo play in the chinema :) evorie one wanted one LOL

the knive was crapbut the sharpning stone was/is good,.i still use the same one,from the 80,s

[noisepuppet]

Order now and we'll break it off in your ass!! LITERALLY! But wait, there's more!!

[jbthx1138]

I had one of these when I was a kid. They were crap.

[michaeloftudor]

Mine killed a bear yea he died laughing at me for buying this pos !

[turtlewarrior88]

@ThatArmyGuy239 The Survivor!

[ihavesexforhappymeal]

I remember this commercial :)

I'd 5 or 6 of these as a kid.

[KenMacMillan]

Wow, return the knife & keep the sheath for FREE!

[1ohtaf1]

Heavy duty sheath????

[mwillblade]

My cousin carried this same knife in the woods ,

we never saw him alive again .

[Watchoutforlies]

@mwillblade HAHAHAHA, dude funniest comment I've read in ages!

[nofgood4live]

@mwillblade lol

[maxinpains]

@mwillblade well, He was drafted to United States Army at the age of 17 on June 8, 1964. He was deployed to South Vietnam in September 1966. He returned to the U.S. in 1967 and began training in the Special Forces (Green Berets) His name was John Rambo.lol

[NoaIsumi]

tacky fun...lol

[zerk54]

You can still get these for about $6.

[anyonefindAMERICA]

$10 in the 80's was like $70 now. That knife is shit, but it's shiny!

[ThatArmyGuy239]

what is the official name of this?

[ThatArmyGuy239]

dude i own one of these!

[Dmajorproductions]

had one a few years back, wow. im glad i made the transition to coldsteel before it was too late!

[62chevrolet]

Thank God it has a bottle opener.... I would die if I couldn't open my brew. SURVIVE! EXTREME!

[halomaniac223]

ahhh sooo sick lol pshh who needs kabar when u got this beautiful piece of steel !!! lol

[666Kenpachi]

i would NOT take that insult of a knife if it were free

[GuyPyro87]

@666Kenpachi ... I would.. Heck, If it's free, why not? It'd make a cool ass butter knife, lol!

[CZAROFGOD]

i am glad that he didn't claim it has a GPS.

[chindonger]

I had one when I was like 12. I broke it It used to treak my little brother out because he thought the compas was an eyeball. ah the memories no they cant take those from you

[D33Lux]

I want that knife so I can look as manly as the guy in the commercial at 1:14.

[lancejparrish]

Sweet baby Jesus! I remember that piece of crap. I actually had the unfortunate experience of using one, but thank God I wasn't the owner. Yeah, it's mega-crap. I wouldn't trust that thing in the bush as far as I can throw it!

[purplemutantas]

Sadly they still make knives like this. Hollow handle "survival" knives are crap. I have never owned one, but I can tell they are crap. The hollow handle is just asking to break off. Better off with a full tang. Also I bet the blade is crap. All those survival supplies are probably crap too.

Yet people keep buying these things. I can see maybe buying one as a novelty. I just hope no one tries to rely on one for survival.

[OutdoorSurvivalist1]

@purplemutantas some aren't like the Schrade SCHF1 and the

Chris Reeve Project I knife.

[ViolentKisses87]

Wow Lol

Why not throw in the bathroom sink and your own grandmother O.o

[SavageArms357]

...What?

[soul111smasher]

Lol, this was a joke right? Please tell me this wasn't a real ad.

[SavageArms357]

After Rambo came out...People freaked. Suddenly they NEEDED to have a survival knife...To survive.

[svcreeper]

SURVIVE LOL

[purplemutantas]

@soul111smasher Sadly this isn't a joke. I remember seeing this commercial on TV.

[boredism07]

lol why would anybody want to keep the sheath if they're getting rid of the knife?

[TadRapidly]

C'mon Billy, let's SURVIVE. Yay!

[F0ckUtoob]

epic POS... The company should have been sued

I remember the bolt coming loose inside the handle of mine and the 1st time I used the wire saw it broke... The blade was so weak I could hit it with a hatchet and make a better saw on the blade side.

lol...

[Hutzjohn]

Is it possible to get just the sheath without the knife???

I might find a use for that...LOL

[RedJellyable]

what a crap knife,i had 1 like it in the 80s,i laugh now at how everyone was conned by the rambo thing,if you every need a survival knife get a gerber lmf2 or a good full tang bushcraft knife,i did hear that aitor jungle king made the best rambo style knives so maybe they are alright,but i prefer full tang.

[MadelHawkeyei]

Crap! Now I'll never know what they saved!

You couldn't wait ten more seconds!?

What show was playing!?

Aargh!

[CAFICE84]

You know.....I bet this killer could deflect bullets.....

Watch for future video......

[CAFICE84]

"420 molecular"......That's like some indestructible space-age material there!...AWESOME!!!!

Seriously this is hilarious...Definitely rockin that badass jam, though.....now I just need a selek stache, tight jeans, and some sunglasses with this badboy strapped across my leather belt....

[Tendrax]

why the hell would anyone keep the sheath? what the hell would they use it for if they don't have the knife anymore? And who the fuck would buy a knife WITHOUT a sheath?
