      Which is they are paying you to do a large commercial to convince Americans to support the CCP Peoples Army. By buying knives that are made in China. We know we care, we might stop watching you.

      CRKT definitely did. I bought an M16 (can't remember which exact model) from Walmart when I was in my teens and it was a decent knife. I decided I wanted another one but this time I bought it from CRKT directly and the quality was much better.

    If they were significantly cheaper at walmart I'd be suspicious, like maybe they got the blades that scored a bit low but that seems impractical and the prices look normal so I wouldn't worry.

    @plasticoflamingo2952 2 дня назад +2

    I would've checked the steel type, and heat treat, too. LOL. One thing I noticed about Walmart, back when I could still stand to go into a Walmart, was that quality of merchandise, even within the same brands, seemed to go down, in direct correlation to the median income of the nearest neighborhood. In other words, Walmarts near wealthier people had better quality products, than Walmarts near less well-off folks. It's as if the products came from the same nominal companies, but completely different OEMs, made with different grades of materials. Mainly clothing and footwear, but I noticed some difference in knives, too. Electronics were the same, but they cost about the same as everywhere else, too. CIVIVI is a reputable company, so I would be surprised if they were doing anything like that, but business IS business.
    Too bad Sam Walton's offspring do not have his integrity. If you can still find anything about the mind-boggling WAR over Sam's will, it's quite entertaining, to say the very least. Those rich people are messed up, big time! Spoiler, the judge was so sick of the insane accusations, lies, and emotional breakdowns of the Walton "kids", he threw the case out, and told them to figure it out, themselves!

    Melissa,
    I’ve been blown away by the quality of the $10 orange Ozark Trails Bug Out inspired knife (aka Bug Out clone) So now I want to see a comparison between the $10 Walmart BugOut Clone & a Walmart Civvi. But something tells me Civvi won’t be supportive of that test!

    • @patrickgorham4269
      @patrickgorham4269 21 час назад

      I have one as well built great, when it loses it's edge it takes an edge extremely well and very sharp fast without the edge rolling on but the thing is at least on mine the edge doesn't last long for D2, I'm guessing the heat treatment isn't up to parr but at least it comes back extremely well. Maybe yours is better I hope. The knife itself as a whole for the price is like I said extremely well built. BUT as for a comparison with Civivi, it probably doesn't stand a chance, mainly because of edge retention. You'd have to compare it with Civivis little brother company Sencut but being made buy WE/CIVIVI even that would be a stretch. But keep an eye on Ozark trails because once they get the heat treatment right on their steels they'll be a force to be recond with. A very respectable first try.

    The answer would be yes.. yes they're the same. Which I know that Melissa knew before even heading to Walmart, because they literally come from the same factory, you know... The WE factory?
    It's funny that people think since it's sold at Walmart that it would be different but no they're the same. Now when it comes to things like bicycles, like when huffy and Schwinn went to Walmart they started to only be sold at Walmart and since Walmart is the sole retailer the quality went waaaay down.

    Hi Melissa! Great video as always.
    I was actually inclined to believe the same because I bought my very first civivi, which was a praxis, from Amazon and I was underwhelmed and didn't understand the hype. It was blunt and what not.
    Later, I gave civivi another shot and purchased the elementum from BladeHQ and it was awesome.
    So, I'd like to see if there's a difference between Amazon Civivi vs. the others.
    Although what you said about employees at civivi sharpening manually, may explain the lemon of a Praxis I got from Amazon.

    There used to be claims tgat the Ruger 10/22 rifles sold at WalMart were different 5han the ones dold elsewhere. As far as I know that wasn't true, either.
    For several years Walmart did sell a 'Walmart' version of the Gerber Prodigy. It was made in the U.S. in the same place as the regular models. The Walmart version was actually superior, IMO, because it didn't have the useless (again, IMO) serrations that the original has. I bought one a few years back then a couple of years or so ago when Walmart put them in clearance (and stopped stocking them, at least in most locations) I bought two more because I think they are goid knives - especially for 'clearancw' prices.
    Walmart is also where I bought my Spyderco Resilience (the largest of their 'bufget priced' line that actually has/had the Spyderco name and not Byrd). Haven't seen one if those at a Walmart in years. I bought a couple of Ontario RAT 1 folders at Wally some years back,as well. They actually do stock some pretty decent knives, sometimes.

    I paid the full retail from CIVIVI for $69 and I could have got it from Amazon for $58.99 .
