The soothing sound of Jeff Goldblum criticizing a seven dollar knife on the Internet
LOL!
I was just going to remark on his voice. It really does sound like him.
1:01 stood out to me
like a passive aggressive bob ross
"Your scientists were so focused on putting survival tools inside the hilt of a knife that you didnt stop to ask if you SHOULD fill the hilt of a knife with survival tools"
Now review the cheapest tent and go camping with the items in this series. It would surely be an interesting video.
I like this idea, What items should I include in the camping kit?
Cook stove, lanterns (battery or gas/oil), fire starting kits (not matches or lighters)
Other than that it could basically pertain to things that are small enough to pack in one or two backpacks. Bare assentials
Perhaps you try to put together an Amazon Camping/Survival Kit from all your cheapest items series. Nothing like shower curtain camping but a budget camping/survival set for someone to get their kid or themselves into the outdoors. Something similar to the Woodworking kit. I purchased the woodworking kit minus the plane, found a Stanley #4 for 55$ US. Would be nice to find some surprising items to put in my truck when I'm out woodsing it.
well if we're talking cheapest survival kit, throw in a emergency sleeping bag /survival shelter (there's a couple for under $10).
It's gotta be a trek and camp or it doesn't count.
the best survival knife is the one you have on you when you need it
Very true
True
Or its the best one you could have
No.
Just prepare yourself and bring something good.
This saying is dumb.
When you're stuck out in the woods, any knife is better than no knife.
D Toohey true
True but this is less better than most.
Like they say only a dumb person will go In the jungle with no knife I even have a survival tool card in my wallet all the time.
yeah agreed also for 7 dollars this knife is good
True but not the point of the video
I got this knife as a gift and I must have been living a good life as it worked well for what it is. The compass worked, I took out the tube and added my own mini-gear. I added Lock-Tite to the nut component just in case. The "saw" was used for scaling fish. It was pretty tasty after using the matches and some laundry lint to start a fire going. The knife was not made for batoning or throwing. Occasionally I'll change the gear inside. My latest was adding a micro-mini light.
Maybe the friction and vibration caused the nut inside to loosen? Maybe put some thread locker on the bolt and give it another chance. You have to touch up the high end knifes and axes, so why are you expecting a 7 dollar knife to be box ready?
good point
Hey guys, leave comments and likes so wranglerstar will give it a second chance!
Yeah, it really is a good point.
I don't think this is a knife that is perfect but I don't think it is quite fair, you know?
Gaming Simplicity I was thinking the same thing before he even tested it!
*knife passes every test*
"this knife is garbage"
wha-
The knife broke on the wood splitting test.
Myles Standish not really, it did break a little, but was still usable. Plus, the wood was very dry
Sheshmare Gaming Yeah but it WOULD break if he would have taken next log. And you don't want your survival knife to break on you do you. And in that state as it was after the wood test it's not very great. Only good thing about it is that you can store stuff inside it but there's other better knives that can do that as well.
You get what you pay for. you might as well buy something great or not buy it at all.
I'd like to see you make it through a winter night with only one piece of wood. A good survival knife should not take any damage what so ever from batoning such a small piece of wood, even if it is hard. It could be days before you make it home, the knife has to hold together and have good enough steel to hold an edge for a good while, otherwise it does not deserve to have survival in the name.
That said, it was 7 dollars so really you can't expect much from it.
You are absolutely right about this, batoning is not for every day use. However if you are in an emergency situation, lost in the woods or some kind of accident on a hunting trip or whatever your "Survival" knife is supposed to be rugged enough to hold up for some batoning so that you atleast can keep a fire going, otherwise it should not hold the name Survival knife.
Cheapest and best survival knife on earth , you can unscrew the tap and throw it to your enemy to end him rightly!
Nice Skallagrim reference there, my dude

Who needs to cut tomatoes when you can cut Russians?
sell it on a trading website and buy a real knife with the money
try flipping it over and using the sharp edge

i had a survival knife just like this as a kid. I wrapped the entire handle in cord and found there was enough room for twice as many survival supplies inside. The coolest trick with these knives is you will notice the handguard has two holes, You can unscrew the bottom cap take out your survival kit stick a stick up the tube and use some of the cord to tie through the holes to retain the knife so you have a spear.
6:03, holding his dog with his knife at its neck: “lets take it out for a field test.”
I was really hope you were going to try and catch a fish with that fishing line. Now that would've been entertaining!
Cal Zielinko when he said that the sinkers would come in handy and then he didn't use them... 😢😢😢
Agreed!!!!! TEST ALL THE FEATURES!
it was probably out of season for this video, no need for a 150 dollar fine over nothing.
instead of matches, it should be equipped with a flint rock.
Kylejessica Pirko or a ferro rod
The serrations are meant to cut rope or vines, so yea in a sense, “sawing”
For me, the beast budget survival knife is the Mora companion. My friend suggested taping a berocca tube with mini survival kit on the holster.
serrations are fish scalers!
Hugh G. Rection never knew that
They work flawlessly for scaling fish!
Hugh G. Rection they also work as grooves for ferrule rods
Hugh G. Rection i
They are serrations for w/e you need them for? scrape inner bark, seperate strands from inner barks, fish scalers, maybe even a scraper for your ferro rod... etc.
"Common Man's Survival Kit" series would be nice too. Rather than the cheapest, maybe a good $200+ Kit that is dependable. Thanks
Rick Maudlin the entire point of the series is to see how dependable these cheap products are. Obviously the $200 equipment is gonna work well
Pickle Nipple Gaming I understand that and like the series , however there are also a large portion of his viewers that wouldn't mind spending a reasonable amount of money for a Quality kit to use in true survival or emergency situation . At a $200 to $300 price limit that will still be very challenging to compile. This is still within reach of "The Common Man"
So far 53 viewers concur. PLUS... Cody could have another drawing to give it away at the end. Appreciate the dialogue. Rick
Rick Maudlin so youre saying basically he should do a high quality series as well as the cheap stuff series
Yes, exactly.
Rick Maudlin gotcha
my old friend used to say something about baton methods.
"if you are ever in a situation where the only possible way to split wood is to baton your knife, then your situation is FUBAR and you should definitely not risk damaging your knife."
batoning can damage even high quality knives or cause injury especially if you try it with such a short blade. the chances are low, but its a chance that you really don't need to take. just use smaller pieces of wood until you can get bigger pieces going. takes like 5 minutes longer...
You cant do that in a environment that is wet and rainy constantly, we teach batoning at the school i work at, it has a time and a place. I have batoned wood every single week for the past 7 years with my newest knife, i havent damaged it, bent it or broke it in any way shape or form. If you don't know how to baton sure you can scew up your knife, or if you are doing it with a knife that doesn't have a full tang, or is made from cheap materials. You baton to get to the dry wood on the inside, and it usually needs to be a larger piece of wood around a beer can in diameter to make sure the wood is dry. Thats where you would get the dry wood from and dry tinder if you have no other source.
And actually batoning wood takes longer than just gather the required stages for fire.
And if at any point you are in a situatiin where you just have a knife to rely on you would be FUBAR
@circa blonk because batoning wood is a survival skill, utilizing the kit and tool the average person may still have on their person in a isolating incident, historically it is the one tool the majority of people have because it is attached to their body. Of course you would use a axe if you had one.
@circa blonk I have a axe but rarely use it while instructing, because my students don't have a axe. They need to see how to accomplish the tasks without specific tools and see how it can be done. I teach survival for the U.S. military and have done so for over 12 years.
Using your only knife for splitting wood in survival situation is Darwin award worthy.
My thought exactly.
Depends on the knife
Thats one of the main things a survival knife needs to be able to
I have seen expensive knives with high quality steel chip out during batoning. Very good knives, with very good steel. The problem is that wood grows in such a way that its fibers and strands can create enormous amounts of torque on a blade, which is especially hard on the grind where the blade is at its thinnest. It is far more reasonable to gather small wood, or use your knife to make enough shavings to get a fire going, then add larger wood later. 👍
Not really. A $7 knife though yes.
But my barkriver Bravo will NEVER break from splitting wood.
Ok lets recap:
- its sharp but not razor sharp (so just sharpen it)
- hollow handle with working compass + waterproof capsul
- capsul fillings were very good
(Maybe add a water purifing tablet) matches can be exchanged for stromproof ones
- you can thighten the blade with the nut to stop movement
- you can (thanks to the hollow handle easily make a spear)
- it survived batoning (something barely used in real survival...more a youtube thingy)
- no a survival knife is not for knife throwing
So in conclusion for 7 dollars you get a knife that complete all the test (even though the tests were quite stupid)
Martin Erhard I see you really are crying about this tongue in cheek review. The fact that it has a hollow handle and rat-tail tang tells anyone who is serious about knives all they need to know about this abomination.
PartiZAn18
That it isnt a knife you should use for batoning? Yes thats what it tells me.
Hollow handle isnt a bad thing at all
My feelings exactly people assume a rat tail tang and Hollow handle automatically make a knife junk or disappointing however it can make them although easier to loosen much easier to repair also that Hollow handle is very useful it even comes with a waterproof capsule I would pay $7 just for that disregarding the compass matches Etc however it does also come with that even if you knew nothing about sharpening knives you still get a decent knife with a waterproof capsule and if you're not going to use the Halo handle it becomes much lighter if only I knew what type of Steel it is I would imagine 420 440 or nameless Steel very corrosion-resistant however can have trouble holding an edge but seeing as how it comes fairly Sharp and comes with a compass hopefully you won't spend much time needing to survive overall a solid 8 out of 10
@@diogeneslantern18 you really are full of yourself aren't you is absolutely ridiculous that a rat tail Tang can't be done properly a matter of fact when done properly I wager to say that it would be only slightly worse than a Full Tang Blade and in some regards better because it can be easily tightened the hollow handle can make it very light as well
@@CaptainKronk
Yes but this isnt even a rat tailed tang. Its a screw tang.
A regular rat tail tang like on the mora bushcraft isnt screwd onto the handle.
im pretty sure the needle and thread was to stich yourself up but hey you can soe a button also..
Teehee
iam awesome Rambo does that when he falls in a tree I think
the fish hook would be easier to stitch a wound (if u actually knew how)
The knife can split the wood without breaking
But don't hit the handle or it will break
Or just fricking tighten the screw !
Okay. And how are you supposed to do that
@@Mikey-ym6ok really easily , i have this knife and did all of these tests but more carefully , it didnt even loose because i didnt hit the handle , when it finally loosed up i took the capsule out , and tightened the nut inside the handle , boom thats how you do that
It was probably a straight out-od-box test without tightening, and with his methoed of batoning that mattered in this experiment to him.
@@Kuba38OwO looks like about a 4 inch deep socket....meh dont have one in my survival kit sorry
"@ $7 you cannot get a survival knife ... @ amazon"
amazon carries morakniv 511 and 546 for about $10 usually, or $7 every now and then. made in sweden. good for shaving from the factory, will baton wood all day long, and the scandi grind is easy to sharpen without fancy tools or skills. true, the handle doesn't open, but if you can do without a compass that doesn't show north, you just cannot beat the mora as a basic bushcraft/survival knife. did i mention it is made in sweden?
Jonas Carlsson sssssson
I was thinking the same - this is child's play compared to mora.
Jonas Carlsson for real you can get a good mora for 20 bucks
Moras knives aren’t meant for survival though. They are more for bushcraft stuff, but yeah they are definitely a much better knife than this thing

The bigger version is available at Harbor freight for around $12.
My father always used the serrations on the back for scaling fish, always thought that’s what it was for. Also works well on fire rod, spares the blade edge!
It's a shame it doesn't come with Lifeboat matches - those things are much more dependable in survival situations.
add them.
You sure could. Pretty cheap for a pack: only a couple dollars.
Don't even have to buy boat matches, just dip strike-anywhere matches in some candle wax a time or two. For what you pay for a box of lifeboat matches you could have 200 waterproofed matches.
It's a 7 dollar knife
well if it did that'd increase the price by a few precious dollars
by the gods that knife has a unscrewable pommel, now i can end my foes rightly in a more compact package! 10/10 would throw at ruffians in a duel

END HIM RIGHTLY BABY
it's spreading
I searched for such a comment, and now I've found it. End him rightly my friend.
Hey a skall viewer.
Tell it like it is, brother. Harbor Freight sells a knife that is virtually identical. I have never tested it to its limits. For average use, it's not bad for the price.
I have rewatched this video a few times, I love it when he says "starting to hear a jingle-jangle there, what's that about" don't know why but I find that hilarious. I've watched some of your other videos also, I am not just obsessed with this one. good stuff. I collect knives so these videos fascinate me.
Durability was compromised for sure, but overall it seems to have passed the tests. I'd like to see you submerge it in water to see if it would flood the inside of the handle through the junction point with the blade. It would render the rubber loop useless because water would enter from the other side, however there would still be a capsule trying to keep water away from the matches and stuff.
Igor Freitas Accidentally washed mine in the washing machine... Matches ruined, and needles rusted.
and there was also a mini ziplock bag inside the capsule, if he didn't trow it away... i would have kept it, one more layer against moisture is always good.
Igor Freitas The idea of the O ring isn't to hold it under water, it's so if you dropped it into water, it would stay dry because the knife would float. Obviously during submersion it would probably leak.
@@dougjohnsonbushcraftandbjj5561 I don't think it floats... I could be wrong, but yeah even the stuff in the little black capsule got wet. Im pretty sure everything in the handle got wet. So just keep it out of water... Honestly though the best part about this knife is how you can make a spear out of it. Also the fact that you can store whatever you want in the handle. Like you could put all of those things in a waterproof ziplock baggie and then stuff it in... Or you can put other useful things in
I have a bigger one , POS, the handle is aluminum and the tang is non existent.........one use as a spear

I’ve watched this video 3-4 times in the last few years. Why am I so entertained?
I bought the exact same knife from my friend for like five bucks and its like a foot longer, literally the exact same, knife compass and all its just a huge buck knife version. I hide my weed in the secret compartment in it.
Good thinking, because the cops would never notice a big old survival knife on your belt,
and would never think to unscrew the handle, because they've never seen Rambo.
More like George W. Kush amirite
same version I have
George W. Bush I thought of that when I was watching
George W. Bush what a legend
better than no knife I guess
No better than a kitchen knife tbh
Wranglestar, though you may never see this; this is the first one of your videos I've ever seen and I must say, well done. I have a real kit, so I'll never buy any variety of these knives, but you've done a great job. Thank you.
Your voice in this video really reminds me of Jeff Goldblum! 😂👍🏼
That is definitely at most 6 pound fishing line. I have 12 pound line on my current pole and it's way thicker than that
SlepKep depends on the line. It could be flourocarbon which is much thinner than mono. Different brands also offer different diameters for specific weight classes.
Harbor freight has a large one for about 8.00
The heavy serrations are for sawing through aircraft fuselage if you’ve been in a plane crash apparently.
Either that or they’re from the previous bayonet design and are meant to cause a wound that won’t close.
The big serrations on the back near the handle is for sheet metal/aluminum. The Air Force survival knife used it for pilots so they could salvage a wrecked aircraft for shelter and etc.
Didn't realize you were so good at throwing knifes Cody. Nice! should do a video on that..
Well turns out Wranglerstar likes AC/DC covers
I was laughing so hard when I first heard it
who doesnt like Thunderstruck and who doesnt like the banjo
Minor Bob Everyone
Obviously he was making a play on Steven Seagal's name.
I got one of these from harbor freight. no black inner thing, but same where it counts. personally i just have it by my bed, but the best part of this is that there is plenty of space to add to it. look up pill bottle survival kits, can fit about the same amount into the handle. Honestly, it held up better than i would expect to your testing. pair it with a good hatchet and I think you're set.
You get what you pay for ! Prayers to you and yours Cody!!!!
Why didnt you tighten the nut?
To See if Its a permanent damage or if you just Need it To be tight
I have an older version, and it has the same problem. The nut will tighten just fine though, and it seems to handle the stress relatively well. No permanent damage
Even if the nut can be tightened, the only tool a survival knife should need to keep it in good order is a whetstone, not a socket wrench. It's a really bad design prone to failure. I have been around enough to respect Murphy's law. That $7 survival knife is just a invitation for him to work his twisted magic, when you can least afford to happen.
$7 real knife that has purpose vs $200 pixels on cs:go
Right :D
I sold my whole CS:GO inventory. It's important to not start caring about virtual items that provide no ingame benefit.
nice i did it too
not caring for virtual items with ingame benefit is the same. a Game is a Game once you are finished with it everything about the game loses its value
i prefer pixels
Im trying to sell mine but 7 week ban because i stopped playing it a year ago;(
They are fun little knives. I had one when I was a kid. My boys each have one. The boys' dont have the AMAZING plastic neon green camo sheath I had with mine though! 😂😂
Serrated knives, with their scalloped, toothlike edge, are ideal for cutting through foods with a hard exterior and softer interior, such as a loaf of crusty bread. The principle behind a serrated knife is similar to that of a saw: The teeth of the blade catch and then rip as the knife smoothly slides through the food.
That is what the Serrated part of a knife is used for!
It's alos good in combat so your knife doesn't get stuck it rips Tru the meat and widening the wound from the inside causing more blood lost more pain shock from the tearing up of the flesh making it easier to escape from a bear fight or killing your aggressor or thugs trying to hurt or kill you for your wallet or because he high on Meth and think your a demon or something like that
Zippo makes an axe that doubles as a saw, I would love to see a good stress test of that before I think about buying one. Keep the good videos coming!
Only useful if the weight really really matters.
I dont know many situation in which I wouldnt rater go for a good axe and a good saw as seperate tools
I have a machete that has 3 differing serrated edges (wood saw, bone saw, and not sure what the 3rd one is for)
But the shape of the blade and hilt of the handle in conjunction with the blade thickness makes it more ideal for survival than a knife or axe
Return the compass to Captain Sparrow mate.
Daniel Minchev lol
Captain JACK Sparrow
My favorite comment ever
Read it in jack sparrows voice 😂😂
I think it is a pretty good deal for the price. You really don't need to split logs in a survival situation. If you got a fire going, they usually burn just fine without doing so. Another thing is, with a hollow hilt like that, it is easy to use as a spear head, screwed down on the top of a straight cut down and delimbed sapling. If you are in cougar or bear country, it would help put some distance between an a dangerous wild animal. You could also use it to spear fish as well. Also the compass seem to being pointing north in same direction each time you moved it around. You said you knew the direction of north was what was showing east. So knowing that, you could still use the compass!
10:51 You can keep a bit extender, handle and bit inside the body so that when your POS knife gets loose you will have everything you need to tighten it back up!
The things on the back in the shape of a "U" I believe is called jimping. It is commonly used in knives to allow the user to have more control over the knife being used by putting ones thumb on the back of the jimping. It's NOT used as a saw and or cutting device. It IS for your thumb or finger to be placed on it for better grip when whittling wood or cutting things. Like so wrangler star can see if.
It's for stabing someone. When you pull your knife out it rips the wound open and does more damage.
It is for notching out sections of branches so that they can be fitted together and lashed into place without slipping . It's for building traps, shelter, ect...
It's rated over 4 stars because people don't whack it into a peice of wood using another peice of wood. People just use it to whitle and things like that
probably because most of the reviews are "good for the price"
lol
Ejuice Vaper And you live in a wonderful and imaginary world
True
Ejuice Vaper yeah but our "survivar" isnt good at spliting that wood at all..i was lauthing at how bad he was
as a knife maker i would know the notches on the top are call thumb jim-pings there so you can choke up on the blade to do fine detail work and get more control of the tool
On the Glock 81 feldmesser, the back is actually a proper saw and I use it all the time for branches up to 10/12cm in diameter (3.5/4 inches) Also on some smaller, thinner knives I have had, the sawback works amazing for working with nearly any type of isolation or materials that are alike.
swedish mora kniv (mora knife) is better...
SkrotJörgen mora is good
SkrotJörgen mora är bra kniv
i have a mora robust and i loooove it
Yeah, but those knives range from 40 to 150 US dollars. This knife was $7
www.amazon.com/Morakniv-Companion-Outdoor-Military-4-1-Inch/dp/B004TNWD40
Try $10 to $20 bud
You won't need that broken compass if you know how to use those sewing needles in a pool of water.
They taught my class that in science , I noticed the compass turning when he moved the knife around, curious to know if there was something affecting it on his person
The thing it's mounted in renders it useless. I've seen this in other survival compasses. If he can pry it out, he might have a working compass. This just comes down to poor design.
the plug the compass is mounted in is most likely aluminium, which isn't magnetic
lasse, eddy currents.
Actually there was something magnetic on that knife, plz watch the video again and if you pay attention to the compas you see it move when the knife gets close to it, once on the table top and once in the field... this might well be why the compass doesn't 'seem' to work as there is something magnetic near by... and no i am not kidding you to have you go watch again... ok... 2:37 ... there ya go... something is magnetic ... happens again in the field when he puts the knife on the ground next to the compass.
if your compass is close to metal than it magnetizes that and it won't have a accurate direction
My biggest problem with all your survival tests is you strike matches like a 10 year old. To prevent breaking and make bad matches light, you put your finger over the tip, strike, then lift your finger as it’s lighting
You can tighten the blade. If you look through the bottom of the handle you'll see a nut. If you tighten it, it will fix the blade.
Yeah but in a survival situation or something, you most likely wouldn't have any tool that can tighten the nut with you.
...I'd think, for $7, it would be reasonable to do a little "TLC" to it before heading out on the trail. Maybe hone the edge and loctite all nuts/bolts/screws/etc? And swap out the dollar-store matches while you're at it!
Put some superglue on the threads of the nut and it will be pretty much indestructible.
until the bolt breaks. I'd honestly be replacing the nut, I've seen cheap ones strip all the threads out under stress, this was a car ball joint too. More strain than what a knife will see but probably the same nuts.
Jonathan Jamieson I had the knife for three weeks and the blade losened tightened it up and the same thing happened. it's not durable and the Sheath also broke on my fifth use
its a $8 and you expect to use it as an axe with no troubles
Jordan Jordanov that's what survival knives are meant for
The Cubist No, that's what an axe is for.
Wize Bread you carry a axe everywhere you go?
You carry a knife everywhere you go?
You can get 5€ constraction work knife and chop woods with ease..
The serated section next to the hilt is so you can tie it to a long pole/stick with paracord to make a makeshift spear for hunting.
I've had four of these and some we're better than others but they were not designed for battoning wood.put locktight on the bolt helps keep it tight.and I put good quality all weather matches or a bic mini in mine.and some fire starting material.
Question: when testing sharpness, you seem to always push the blade through the piece of paper, then see if it will slice. Why? The way I've always done it, and seen it done, is to slice into an unsupported edge of the paper.
it's way easier to slice paper than to "push cut" through it.
Slicing paper isn't really a good test for sharpness
no the only thing you are challanging when pushing through is the point, its the edge the slice tests.
slicing it is a good test. definitely better test that pushing the tip in the middle of the paper and then slicing the rest. plus you can tell how sharp it is by how the paper reacts to the knife and how clean the cut is.
I bought a knife almost the exact same as that one but bigger for 6$ at harbor freight
I have this knife, works well I use it to skin small game and other tasks in the outdoors. Would recommend for the price
Interestingly, the Buck 184 “buckmaster” was assembled the same way. The blade had a short threaded tang that was attached by a nut inside the handle, then epoxied in place. But no movement.

Thank you for pointing out the obvious. it was a metaphor
not really. many things with a high wow factor does not cost a lot.
You should put the links in the description for your items that you test, such as the cheapest survival shovel, and this knife.
The serrations on top are for causing more damage when you pull the knife back out. It’s still modeled after a combat knife after all.
The shape of the knife is very good. If it were 25% longer, had a firm connection point blade-grip and matches that worked, it would be a very good survival knife, I think
It will keel
Just buy a mora,it's not as tacticool looking but it will work for cheap
If you're looking for a cheap knife and you don't already know guys, you cant go wrong with a Mora Companion heavy duty it's a great knife and is very cheap

I have a gigantic version of that same knife the blade is the size of the knife you bought. I got mine at harbor freight for $10.
Nope these are lot different

Wranglerstar: “You can’t get a survival knife
for $7.”
Me:
*laughs in Mora*
Hahahaha I just replied to another comment saying the same :')
Get a mora robust,most durable knife for cheap on the market. And it sharpens easily
Ah yes a doom fan!
This series is great
The blunted serrations are traditionally found on combat knives, it's used as a blunt melee weapon to shatter bone.
the back of the knife that looks like a saw but isnt a saw is made to rough up wood so it can catch a spark . honestly that is the purpose of the teeth that would never saw through anything . it took me years of asking to find out what that was for and so far that is the best answer i have got .
The small "single serving" tubes of superglue are great for a survival kit, and they seem to last about forever if it's not opened. I keep one inside the knife handle, and a couple more in a backpack pocket. Not only can you glue wounds shut in an emergency, but you can glue just about anything to anything if the need arises. Very handy stuff.
Jimmy4949 + Seems they'd have to be kept in a small container to avoid a mess if/when one gets broken.
Razor Wolfpack It can be effective during an emergency if you want to make sure your wound doesn’t get infected
Razor Wolfpack no its not, ive done it before, its saved a lot of un need blood loss before i got to the ER

6:00 time to do our field test; today we will be skinning a dog
It's a replica of 1980-1990 rambo knife. My father use to buy one to me when I was a kid. The blade ended in a bolt kind of form and was stick into place in the handle with a nut, just like this one. Not '' full tang '' blade. The compass was in the exterior though.
I own a $30 K Bar style knife that I bought from Amazon that actually impressed me quite a bit. If you occasionally camp and need something for moderate use then there’s no point spending upwards of $150, so Amazon can actually hook you up in that regard. However, for $10-30 more you can go on a site that has discounts like Blade HQ and get yourself a knife like the Cold Steel SRK for only $10 more dollars. In other words, you can leave Amazon and find knives still in the $30-$40 price range and walk away much happier.
Sorry, but NO !
For 7$ this is a pretty good knife.
"So what do we learn ?"
We learn that you need to inform yourself about the product you order.
1. The size is clearly discribed and the knife can be ordered in 3 different sizes. You have the small one. Medium is the standard survival knife size you expected and large is a 41cm big knife.
2. It was clear that the handle is hollow and comes with stuff inside.
3. The matches came in a small plastic bag for a reason. You didn´t put it back in but directly into the plastic capsule so there was no protection from moisture.
4. A compass in a metal housing can work, because the housing is aluminum and not iron. Not every metal is magnetic.
One thing is true so: The compass doesn´t work. But besides that, for 7$ this knife is pretty good unless you believe a 7$ knife can do the job of an axe.
this is the thing you get your cousin as a gift and they stick it in a drawer for 30 years until it ends up in a landfill
for 7$ this is a good knife however his point was that you should invest in a more expensive knife as it will give you more options and durability rather than buying the same knife over and over again
and your number 4 isnt even relevant to your base claim because it literally didnt even work same with number 3
Does anyone else get the feeling that some times he doesn't know what he's talking about but acts like he does
Colt Perry all the time.... the part where he said”I don’t know how a compass would work in metal “ ... any no ferretic metal will do.. compasses we’re made from metal before
he thinks the knife is worse than it actually is
@@KentuckyFriedDoge Then why do you watch his videos?
Lol
@@sylvie3528 It is a good knife. I have one and I did switched out some of the contents of the capsule with better versions. It's not a knife you want to split wood with. You'd want to carry a good hatchet for that.
They are not serations for sawing, from what I understand they are put on fighting knives to rip open the wound upon exiting the target, so your targets wound is worse.
Serations are for combat actions, damages the opponents internals both as you go in and when you pull out. Very effective.
I have 2 of these knifes. They are actually decent.
love the dog, the knife not so much.
I love the knife, the dog not so much.
I love you , neither the knife nor the dog so much.
The dog was garbage. The knife functioned well
I got a knife just like this in the 90's, except it's a bigger blade and the serration is better. The compass works, and it had the same kit in the handle. The matches were about the same quality. The blade isn't that sturdy because of the hollow handled design, but it's a surprisingly nice knife to take on a hunting trip. It has plenty of room to pack other small things like an anti-venom and small tourniquet. More of a day trip knife that has some just in case stuff more than a lost in the woods camping situation. Wouldn't trust it on a camping trip, but more than fine if you're in familiar woods and the worst happens.
The serrations on the actual Air Force Survival knife is for cutting through plexi-glass. It can be used for wood but it isn't the best. As for this knife! For $7 I was absolutely amazed at what the knife was able to do! You sold me!
