- I bought a $24.99 Damascus Knife From Ebay I was Shocked With What I Received.
Today I Review a Damascus knife I bought from eBay. It Was "handmade, damascus, custom knife." I honestly wasn't ready for this knife knife and it definitely wasn't something I expected. I also had all sorts of problems with the review.😡
Some GOOD knives for under $24.99

I don't know why your video came up in recommended. However....your style of editing is hilarious and just amazing. I legit laughed out loud several times. I'll gladly sub and share keep up stuff like this, it's 10/10 content
Should return to sender file for refund .
Follow up video idea you hire a curse breaker (Not from Ebay) then you reforge the knife like the shards of narsil. Or sling it in the bin and pray to never see it's like again.
OUTDOORS55 Well, you're young, I saw a surge of these come out 35yrs ago. Haha.
Must be cold in your hut bruh
$25 for that sheath is reasonable. It was very thoughtful of them to ship it with a spacer.
That's definitely a money back item.
Well the spacer helps hold the shape of the sheath for shipping, right?
😆😂
🤣🤣🤣👍
looks to me that they got the ad backwards
$25 sheath
comes with knife-like object
IT WAS A GOD LOOKING SHEATH. MOST OF THEM ARE PRETTY BAD THOUGH.
obviously hand-made... no machine would ever make so many different kinds of mistake on the same piece.
@@captainmaim underrated comment
LOL
Yeah. the knife is like shoe insert to keep the shape of the sheath.
The best part of this video is knowing that some Blacksmith in Pakistan, with his little DIY shop is shaking with rage watching this.
More likely, he's shaking with mirth, "Ha! I've already gotten your money, silly American!".
Did you, know that with, 25.00 USD a, person in Paki,stan can eat for 16 months!
They don't give dang. Or they wouldn't make them.
I can't tell one at a glance from across the room.
And they always have bent tips.
Usually rotting in some ashtray, or junk drawer.
Or ran over in road.
Buy American.
This channel is more authentic and entertaining than most of the fake knife enthusiast channels I've suffered through.
Lol👍
The technical name of the material used is Chinesium.
Lmaoo
Lol
Chinesium-Pakistanium Ultra Alloy
Sir, I believe its "Pakistainless" 🤣
This is binary chinesium tho. Way fancier than your average bodega chinesium knife... Pfffft those $10 pos are only made with one metal.
"two types of steel" - yup, a soup can and a vegetable can, that's two types, right?
Lol 🤣
Soup cans are all steel dude get a magnet and go into your kitchen and see for yourself.
Yeah probably some kind of pot steel like 316 stainless
well where I live there's "2 fruit" cans of tinned fruit, with a mix of apricots & pears, so with that can, even just a single can meets the 2 types criteria right?
And it was videos like this that got me into Mora knives. Absolutely incredible for the money. So much so, that I started to customize them and give them away to family and friends as gifts. I've never seen a knife delaminate like that in my entire 35 years on earth.
100%- Except the budget Mora's rust like crazy
@@chrismemphis8062 when you're done using them all you need to do is hose it down, hit it with a burst of compressed air, and a squirt of WD-40 then you are good to go. I'm not particularly kind to my dedicated garden tools and I haven't had any issues with corrosion of note.
@@chrismemphis8062 Gotta put an oxide coating on them right of. AKA, rust them so they don't rust as easy on their own.
@@Joe_Blo Exactly. I customize mine. That always means a nice
Boiled vinegar bath to get that black oxidized layer. A little oil every once in awhile, and those cheap knives last great. The only accidental rust I've ever had was after a day of slicing apples, and I totally forgot to wipe it down after (user error). So it took 4 minutes of wet sanding to remove.
Wait a minute. This knife was forged by virgins?
Usually, they use oldbike chains in order to imitate folded metal. This method however when done correctly can make excellent blades.
Yeah, cuz that's usually decent steel.
Made from a recycled refrigerator frame and a manhole cover.
Hey! As long as it’s two metals that can make a pattern... Damascus!
I think manhole cover is harder steel lol
tan j maz Oh really.....! Want is reasoning behind using plastics? I think here in the North we can use them.
🤣
@tan j maz "do not represent any scrap value"
For which read "crackheads won't steal them".
He’s like an outdoor version of Linus
now that you say it i get what feeling i get from him
Atleast he dont wear the sandles linus does 🤣
As a PC gamer and a knife/sharpening hobbiest, this is easily my favorite RUclips comment of all time.
How could you say something so controversial yet so brave
Lmao
I got a simular knife. It was so cool and versatile. It actually let me peel off “baby knives” by removing layers of the metal. By hand.
This is my favorite video of yours. I'm sure it took a lot of effort to edit it, and I hope you know it didn't go un-noticed.
Boy if I had a dollar for every time my gf said “is this even wood”
We know what she's referring to 😂😂
Trying to figure it how this comment didn't win RUclips today... You fine sir are my hero for today I needed that.
@@survivalist9818 the new coffee table?
Lol
Awesome proper lol
it's damascus made from these two types of steel: lead and mercury
With a little aluminum foil sprinkled in for good measure 😂
Uranium for a glow in the dark effect
The bald and toothless man at the atomic test site swore the metal was okay.
@@thebiggiron2269 That could explain the corrupted SD cards.
Aluminum and pewter maybe?
Thank you for taking one for the team.
The steel making up the Damascus came from pieces of a bus that drove off a cliff in India. 27 of the 437 passengers died.
The Pakistani that built the knife obtained the scrap steel pieces via a barter for a quart of goat milk. He shaped it holding it between his toes while sitting in a dirt stall in 110 degree heat.
His net profit was $1.00 for the finished knife.
At this point I am convinced the MemoryCards kept corrupting because this knife is made from radioactive materials ... :D
YOLO MAN whoooosh
Probably some sort of magnet as well
Yikes!!! Actually that is plausible 🤕💀
It could be made from the same material they use for those scalar energy bracelets and pendants
@@FloofyTanker the moment you heat up a magnet to melting point, i believe before this point already, it loses all it's function as a magnet.
*looks at tree*
"iS tHiS eVeN wOoD??"
Froot loops enthusiast I legitimately laughed out loud during that bit
Yes, this was the best part.
I mean it’s obviously not wood so ur right
Lol
I don't know anything about knives or sharpening them so it was interesting seeing your analysis of this thing. I have been surprised by how bad things on ebay are in other regards, like USB3 cables that can't do USB3. I don't know if you have a way to measure how hard that metal is but that would have been interesting to see, especially compared to a regular knife. Thanks for the content!
Mora is awesome..
The cheapest Mora here in Sweden will set you back like 1 USD.
The only real difference from an expensive Mora is that the cheap one comes with a really shitty plastic sheath and handle.
I have a friend that buy them and then melt of the handles and make some really nice handles on them and then just flip them for plenty of dollares on the internet :P
I think there is a certain charme in slightly translucent polypropylene handles and parts. I mean they tested them, they are safe, ergo shaped, minimum weight. We live in the future!
@@SianaGearz Yes but they only test them for "normal" wear and tear.
They do not test them to see if they can be banged on or used to pry something.
But hey what do you expect from a 1-2 dollar knife :P
If you want a realtivley cheap good knife that will last you a long time then the
Mora Companion Series
Look at those :D
Cheapest Mora you can get in the States is like $11 bucks on Amazon. Looks like I need to start snuggling Mora's!
Damascus knife : $24.99. This video: absolutely priceless, one of the funniest things I've seen in a long while.
This video must have had one of the most highly skilled production teams ever assembled to create such an entertaining, humorous, and to the point product review. Thanks.
Yes, is this even wood, as he kicks tree, lmao
In a long while 🤣😂
@@bigwu100 more like buying a $1000 car and it is advertised as "runs well" but you get it and once you get the car and it has lawn chair instead of seats and a 5HP lawnmower engine under the hood. A knife that can't be sharpened and can't cut isn't going to be much use either.
@@bigwu100 you are kidding right? I have purchased Pakistani knives before that far exceed the shit this $25 knife can achieve. For $25 you can buy any number of Chinese, Japanese, Taiwan made knives that would totally outperform it. "Hours spent making it"... sorry, but no. They likely pumped hundreds, if not thousands of these out in just an hours time.
They likely spent more time making the sheath than the actual knife.
I believe I figured it out. It did say "forged" which can have two meanings. Forged also means counter fit, so they are actually telling the truth. They probably figure that if they can get enough people to purchase their knives to do test videos on RUclips, they make a good profit. Love your humor. A well-made video. God bless.
For $25 it actually looks kinda cool for a weird conversation piece knife to have in a collection
The amount of time you've spent on producing a great video on a piece of dog doo doo called a "knife", is impressive sir. The "sharpening my Damascus" bit is legendary. Or should be. Submitting this to the RUclips Reviews Hall of Fame immediately.
There is one, isn't there?
Subscribed!
From now on, whenever ANYONE asks me, "What are you doing?" The answer will forever be, "sharpening my Damascus", as I recall this fabulous video.
Haha right
If you use this too often with your friends they will start thinking that this is just another way of saying "I am playing 5 vs willy, I am polishing the crown jewels"
I’m not gonna lie. I’ve never watched you before. This just popped up on my feed and that was legitimately hilarious. I thoroughly enjoyed that
Seconded

Haha,happened to me too,4 months later though
I've never seen him either. I have never been SO BORED in my life. I made it to 5:41, and fell asleep.
When I awoke, I hit "dislike" and got the fuck away from this loser.
@@johncoops6897 I'm guessing you made this knife
Stumbled on this and found it to be a quintessential example of edutainment. Kid, Sir...Bro...you are damn good at making fun. happily mashed that 'subscribe' button and look forward to watching some more of your work. Well done. Well played. Wellbutrin.
Glad you got the joke👍 Thanks for stopping by👍
I bought a similar one from a gun show for about $25-$30 (don't recall exactly) and while it is NOT a great knife does look nice and is handy around the shop
Read your comment and saw your name Hello from another Travis J. but my last is Jones.

And greetings to you my TravisJ brother!
You should pack it how it is at the end and send it back with a note. Tell him you dropped it and want a refund.
We do, not, refund knife,
Best idea
Andy from Little Britain voice...
Ah dropped it.
@@arnox4554 Ebay/paypal is 100% on the side of the buyer and would refund that. My daughter once sold an item on ebay and the buyer returned a photograph of it for a refund. Paypal refunded them.
@@prestonian1066 Wow, that's some bullshit.
I'm a complete layman and bought a mora knife 15 years ago. I use it for EVERYTHING and it just won't stop being a great knife. Had it sharpened ONCE, still pretty sharp today!
Seriously, I bought a More Companion years ago for my tackle box solely because it had tons of great Amazon reviews. Now that I know more about knives and steel I respect it even more as it just absolutely demolishes more expensive knives I own when it comes to slicing. I wish they sold a folder!
Morakniv, made in the Mora factory Sweden. What do you expect? Even the "bargain basement" Companion knife is an excelent piece of cutlery.
My first Mora was given to me in 1955.when I was 12 years old. My respect for Mora knives remains to this day. No nonsense cutting tools.
Thank you for making this video. I watch your stuff all the time and I have learned a lot from you...but this is my absolute favorite video. I am laughing so hard right now!!!
The greatest product review of all time! 😂😂 I actually learned a lot aside from the damascus
You can almost feel the huge craptsmanship that went into this handmade masterpiece.
I thought I felt it too.... then realized I had to take a crap.
"..... handmade masterpiece OF SHIT!
You could've put a better edge on a cast iron skillet. That's an idea... The Skillet Knife!
Don't give wives a better weapon...
Yeah the new skillet knife, cut, fry and serve all with the same tool!! Lol
I made 3 of them so far from old cast iron skillets
You literally could its extremely hard right? It would be like sharpening glass or ceramic.
I've seen spatulas made from old skillets and the edge sharpened so maybe a knife from the handle could work.
Hahaha! The little both-of-me scenes had me rolling. "is that even wood?" lol
Absolutely hysterical video! One of those train wrecks you can't stop watching. Laughed all the way through it. I subbed after watching his outstanding knife videos and this comical one. Great job on all of your content! Jeff
I appreciate the kind words. Thanks for stopping by👍🙏
The first thing that came to mind when you showed off that beautiful grain structure:
Is that...is that welding slag????
Looks like they didn’t flux it properly honestly
Right? Kinda looks like they heated it so much it became cast iron and never put flux in when they tried "forge welding" this beautiful blade
Do you know what slag looks like?
I have a Damascus kitchen knife, a few imperfections, but nice. I had a hard time getting a decent edge on the blade, it’s pretty hard material, but once I got it sharpened, it does stay sharp for a long time.
I saw a comment of someone mentioning this video, I had to Find it and the comment was not lying this is so hallarious, truly one of the best knive reviews ever I'm loving every second of it
Thanks for watching 👍
Hey, you spent $24.99 on a knife, what’d you expect, you know? Like cmon, cut it a break, you know? It’s a 25 dollar knife, like, the fit and finish, you know, complain about fit and finish...
In all seriousness, the production value of your videos have gone up so much, really fun to watch!
Except that Moras are outstanding quality and can be had for half the price of this one lol
The point isn't the cost of the knife or even the knife itself, It is that ebay is full of Bullshit liars & low life scumbags. Refund is in order or file a complaint against the seller.
Its really price shold have been 7 US.
@@c.r.5106 even ganzo.snarenmu,canku,rat1,openial and a few others that are low cost high value
That knife was pretty good considering it was likely made by 8 year olds.
lol damn!!
Could say the same about soo much lmao
@@billjamal4764 so true.
@derp derpin you say that as if people can just say “Hey! Stop making children make products” or as if they can just easily buy products not made by children even though 90% things people need to buy are made in China
Pattern welded steel is pattern welded steel. Damascus is a steel of unusually high purity where during the cooling process the carbides separate creating bands in a distinctive pattern in the blade.
Just for clarification.
Got a good chuckle out of me. I like this kind of information and am glad I found this video second (the one about hrc was a little dry). It was worth a sub! Keep up the good work.
I literally laughed till I cried watching this. Great info!! 👍👍👍👍
I know exactly what the problem is. You tried to use it instead of putting it in your collection and "LOOKING" at it. Just "LOOKING". This knife was not intended for any type of use at all. Its sole purpose was to go into your collection and be "LOOKED" at. Thank you. Now that will be 16 easy payments $279.98 (plus processing) for my explanation of the exquisite Damasakuss knife.
Ooooohhh, my bad! Ill buy another for 39.99 and do just that!
Dale, Why was it advertised as otherwise??
@@tacticalcenter8658 Like the old saying: A lie is as good as a flush, to some.
They just hammered a big bunch of soda cans together 🤣
So it's an aluminum knife?
You have a great sense of humour and comic timing. Fantastic informative video. Great job. As for the "knife" um, well, glad I didn't buy one. Ha. Thanks for sharing. Brilliant. John
I like it! The Damascus is nice, and the handle looks ergonomic. I DO have a similar one, and it is alright!
LOL... Anytime someone begins a sentence with: “So, the other night, I was perusing eBay...,” you know the story is about to go south.

I lost it at "prestigious", and then you couldn't continue. LMAO
I like your sense of humor and craftsmanship to boot. Subbed!
"What are you doing now"
- "Sharpening my Damascus...?"
HAHA that got me good
Somehow I get the impression that you're not recommending me to get this knife 🤔
That was pretty funny! I was actually expecting it to snap and fragment. It went the opposite! Probably used 4130 and mild steel as the components! That "grain" wasn't even grain. Looked like they never even got it hot enough to completely weld.
Def not a forged weld not even close
I really love watching this episode. I always laugh every time I watch it very well-made.!!!!😂😂😂

Seriously. Theyre proud to claim that its made from "Bessemer steel". The Bessemer process is a method of combining scrap hardenable steel and mild steel... thats right, the blade being pot metal damascus is a selling point to these manufacturers.
Buying them for display is one thing, but there are so many manufacturers making high quality knives from high quality materials, it actually upsets me when these scammers (its NOT 1095 or 5160 and 15N20 as they all claim, so, scamming) make a sale from a novice knife buyer looking for a good user.
Even clones are more scrupulous than pakistani Damascus at this level. Ethical issues aside, at least clones are safe to the user.
@@CNYKnifeNerd nothing wrong with a clone. if A: when you buy it it is sold to you as a clone B: when you sell ot you sell it as a clone and not try to get over on someone. i just bought 3 waiting on them now. 1 was D2 others are 8cr15mov so im hoping they take a good edge and look good till im ready to invest the money in the real deal if ever
What you have there is a $24 Damascus Safety Stabber with a Nice Sheath. As for the thick and thin scales, look at your hand when holding the knife. On one side, the meaty palm of your hand is touching the handle. On the other, the bony fingers maintain contact. It is up to you to decide which thickness scale works best. A custom choice. And you don't have to worry about cutting anything.

Dude! You just saved me $174. They sell some beautiful looking stuff but I had to sniff out if they were for real. It never felt legit. They're on Etsy, too. I know it's the same Pakistan joint. I'd happily buy you a beer if I could for a net savings of $169. You're hilarious. Great video.

*Pure* gold? Or gold plated, gold colored foil, polished brass to a high luster, gold colored spray paint, brass-gold tinted chrome plate ... You know, after seeing this video, I'm starting to doubt my butcher sold me real ground beef. I suspect it is by-product of road kill, but not beef. I'm going home to my custom home with hardwood floors ... laminated OSB, not hardwood, not custom, also ... not my home.

Dude kicks a tree, “Is this even wood?”
I was wondering what they did with my old toaster.
For the heck of it I bought an $11 folding knife with an Axis Lock off Amazon. I can't decide whether it's complete garbage or an amazing value. It's heavy and uncomfortable but reasonably functional. It opens easily with the thumb stud, closes with no stick, and cuts through a rope with no problem at all. It's in the junk drawer.
Omg my friend has this exact knife and I was drooling over that inlay, and the notches on the spine.
after 3 minutes I began to wonder why was I even watching this video... at 6 minutes I began to be confounded... at ten minutes I did urgently call 119 … but I really worried when no one arrived to rescue me?
After looking at the insides of that blade i want a butterfinger..

Or a butter... fly knife?...
I did see a lot of those offers too and was suspicious about them.
I ended up buying a laminated steel blade from Mora.
Then I had to buy a ready made Mora to make the grip, because my tools suck at working with cherry root wood.
And I stuck using that normal carbon steel bladed Mora, that was cheaper that the fancy blade alone.
I feel better now. I too bought one of these and tried tp sharpen it with the same results.
I’d check it for dried blood, looks like it’s been used to saw through a few things at a microscopic level.
This is, perhaps, the best product review I have ever witnessed in my life, and I am 75 years old. Great job! Thank you.
ok boomer
Thank you for sharing this information helped a lot.great video!
i bought a couple knives in Germany, where i live, and they both were dull. i dont know about the dealers of the knife in this video, but maybe some knives are sold dull for safety reasons.
anyway, it led to the wonderful experience of learning how to sharpen a knife with whet stones. can't complain.
I'm a metallurgical engineer and my eyes started bleeding when I saw the fracture surface 18:00

It's pathetic
It is mostly welded up in big sheets on rolling mills, it works just fine. The steel is not too bad, the heat treatment is laughable or not done at all. I heat treated one of these and was able get to rockwell at 58 So it can be turned into a usable knife
I bought a couple much bigger ones off ebay with some pocket change. One of them is quite good out of the box, is Rockwell 60ish and keeps an edge very well. And its quite pretty. The second one was like 420 prehard. so I removed the grips, and heat treated it properly (guessing at the type of steel(s). After gluing the grip panels back on.. and sharpining, it too turned out to be a decent knife. Rockwell 56ish, sharpened easily, held an edge quite well and is also pretty. (I do have a Rockwell hardness tester.. im a steel fabricator and machinist)
Great review of this awesome high-tech techie layered, flowing layered knife blade.
I enjoyed this video
It reminded me of a pair of boots I bought on Amazon that the soles separated on day 31 - 1 day after the return deadline
That’s what you call a knife shaped object, with a wood look handle, made of simulated steel.
