@InLoveWithMinecraft Yea, I agree. I'm not a big fan of small blades but, I do like to toy with cheap products to see what I can do with them. I say, " buy quality when you're depending on it to work but, have fun with cheap gear too.
@InLoveWithMinecraft I'm tempted to buy one of Grylls knives to play with. I like Gerber products because they are great for the common person, affordable yet still having a level of quality.
@2KARGARAGE My fire rid came out as well, I used some Gorilla glue on it and it's fine now. I luge knife for how cheap it is. Trully I can't complain about u
For around $10, chicago cultery makes a very nice santoku blade that is better than a lot of 20+ cheap "bushcraft and survival" knives. I've used mine to open about 50+ coconuts, chopping, slicing, and prying.. very nice for a low budget knife.
the thing about this knife is that it is about 4-5$ on amazon and it comes with a firesteel!! a light my fire firesteel on its own cost about 15$, so i think this knife is well worth the money
Thats made with 440 stainless steel, its a pretty crappy knife but as this guys says its an ok spare knife. its light and thats about it. Its actually more a good flint and striker set up lol. your waaaaay better off getting something like the gerber profile for a back up. Great knife. its inexpensive as well.
@demover7 Yes, I only use it as a back up fire tool and knife. Personally, I recommend spending a few extra bucks for quality gear but, I do put out some info. on cheap gear for those who don't have the cash and want to cover some of the basics for a few bucks.
Thank you for the review, Because of it, I just bought one. (Amazon, $8.50 total for slow delivery, but I paid $11.50 total for expedited shipping...I may have wasted 3 bucks, oh well). After watching a few of your vids, I had to subscribe. Keep up the good work, brother.
I almost picked up one at big 5 the other day,I really dont like the sheath ,its just seemed dangerous.But after watching this vid I might reconsider,hell if you put it in a rucksack or even leave one in you,re vehicle the sheath isnt as much of an issue.Im not sure if it was the exact same one as this but it was close.
Yes , the knife will poke though the bottom of the sheath. I used and homemade plastic incert to prevent this .decent knife to have in the bag and would not cry if it was broken or lost. thanks for video.
If you are on a tight budget I think full tang is a good plan (I have learned the hard way) however for EDC get a quality US made knife and thank me later
I Love Mine! They were so inexpensive I ended up buying 7 of them, I gave a few away and kept 2 for myself. One thing I did not like was The point protruded the bottom of my sheath, so my solution was to cut a heavy piece of plastic(I Used an Old CVS Rewards Card)To Fit inside the bottom of the sheath. So I took the plastic card cut it to size and folded it in half. Stuffed it into the bottom of the sheath. Now the point doesn't stab my leg when I strap it onto my leg or my arm.
I love those cheap functional knives, no reason why a poor man can't put together a good cheapo kit for survival heck you can buy three and issue them to your kids.
I just bought a couple of 20 dollar knives this week end at the flea market. Smith & Weson's. It is always good to have blades you don't mind beating. But I like that after 2 years your coating on that knife is still great. Cool sheath to. Hey have you made any other home made knives other than the vids you already posted?
i got the same thing but with a bigger blade and it had i think better reviews

Great vid. I have this knife my fire rod kept coming out of it's holder. And knife poked through sheath. But for the price a good investment.

@2KARGARAGE My rod came out also, had to glue it. They must be saving money on glue.

@MrWer1138 You're right about the sheath. I would put an improvised insert in it before wearing it on my side.

Always good to have a backup regardless if it is inexpensive or not. As long as it works, thats all that matters.

I like the thickness. It would be better than a piece of flint any day ! Would probably make a decent neck knife as it is so flat.
