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.
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.
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.
@@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.
@@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.

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!

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. My god I've been reduced to a doubting skeptic, I think ... Nah, I doubt that too. Is anything real anymore?
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)
I remember back in 99', I ordered an arming sword from Museum Replicas that was made in India. When I went to bend the blade with my hands to test its flexibility, the blade stayed bent with only light amount of pressure applied to it.
Your definition was spot on... "patter welded steel." The handle was micarta, don't know if anybody else mentioned it below. I didn't know what it was until I watched a video from Lewis Razors 3 years ago. He used it frequently for his razor blade scales.
I love your style of humor man. Haha. I was waiting for you to break out a microscope to see that saw blade action though! Keep 'em coming. Your videos are informative without taking yourself too serious. Bravo 👍
I bought a similar one from a gun show for about $25-$30 (don't recall exactly) and while it is NOT a great knife does look nice and is handy around the shop
That is wall hanger its not supposed to be a knife . just look fancy to non trained eye. A 10$ mora is a real tool . this is a knife shaped object. Video is great and great editing . is your camera also possed by cthulu?
we have too many words being made by millennials and those who think they're cool but knife shaped object is one of the best ones I've heard. I'm going to use it every time someone gives me a free one
I cant believe the amount of people believing that their knives are damascus steel when they are clearly etched. Glad to see someone finally has some common sense. Thank you.
Hi Alex , thanks for saving me $25 , I don't tend to buy cheap knives anyway ! I think Uri Geller would have had a heap of fun with that ' Damascus ' knife
If I had a dollar for everytime I've thought to myself "you'd think I'd have learned by now" as I collect some other crap from my letterbox... Well actually I probably wouldn't have many dollars because I'd pump them back into eBay, but you get the gist😉
You're Right, in my case its watches, I never learn! in the last 2 yrs I have bought 3 watches via facebook, NONE of them were as advertised, I have discovered that its called Bait and switch. They steal someone else's advert and then put a price that's affordable, 3 weeks later you get some Chinese Drop shipped junk. When you complain they offer you $3 refund, if you really push you get up to $10 refund. If you insist on a refund, you have to return it to China at your own expense, so even more money down the tube and still no guarantee that you get your refund. It's a waste of time complaining to facebook, I mean what are they going to do, Not sell them advertising space lol. India and Pakistan are as bad, Poor people trying to con the rich westerner!
@@garethbaus5471 Can confirm, have African made letter opener. Good metal, primitive craftmanship. The wooden sheath, and handle, are actually well-made, but the blade is hammered out without professional tools.

Dude found you by accident and whilst at my mum's we watched your review. I have to say this is one of the funniest reviews I have ever seen anywhere. After 45 years of playing with knives and 38 plus years of serious camping and survival this vid rocks bro still laughing. Cheers Phil from Aus 😎
@@SondreGrneng the only thing relating it is the fact that its a somewhat cheap knife, not even specifying that it came from Ebay. Its fairly typical for a storebought knife to last a while.
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?
"for 24:99 you can get your self one heck of a knife" *Looks over to my right where a 18 year old mora that is still serviceable is laying.... that i gave 8 Swedish kronor for* I guess...
I bought that used... You can get the same model of knife today for 150 Swedish kronor (about 15 euro or dollars lazily translated) It was about the same back then...
So back when I was a kid many decades ago, there were "hobo" shops down skid row. Shops where a hobo could get whatever one might need on the road. Mess kits, ponchos, Sleeping bags, socks, fuel cans, used hustler magazines, etc. Pakistani steel "bum stickers" could be had for $5 or so. Big heavy blades with a sort of pointy end. They were single use items...
I know you wrote this a year ago but that is so interesting. By "skid row" do you mean downtown LA area? or is that more of a general term? also, what were the bum stickers like? and how could a blade be single use? like in the context of self defense orr
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

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
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.
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!
“is this even wood?’ Kicks a huge tree. Made me smile involuntarily. I like it when that happens.
Dude, you are a gifted editor. Your comic timing is sweet. I laughed my big, fat ass off. Not all of it. Some ass is still on. Good job.
When you were reading that description my eyes rolled so far back into my head I summoned a demon.
How do you know my sleep paralysis demon?
Still doesnt count as exercise:-p
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👍
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.
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 have bought absolutely amazing guitars off ebay. A treasure trove of them.
I've bought live Nuclear warheads on ebay.... A bit expensive but they do the job.
Either really bad or very good...
@@juanvaldez5422 The best guitar store on the planet lol.
After a glass of milk, I found myself on Ebay...
A friend of mine has a twin brother who is "special." It can be hard sometimes. It's so awesome to see you involving yours in your videos.
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?

"What are you doing now"
- "Sharpening my Damascus...?"
HAHA that got me good
youtube algorithms brought me here, i am from Pakistan, i laughed a lot. lol i was hiding my face as as soon as you said it came from Pakistan, though i know you meant that as a joke. Amazing video , loved it.
Thanks for stopping by! Glad you see the humor in it! Just having fun👍 And thanks for the comment 👍
Oh he wasn't joking. Almost as bad as made in mexico.
@@TruAnRksT Urrea tools would like a word with you.
@@TruAnRksT its not about the location, its about the price. 25$ damascus knife from Norway would be as crappy.
@@idontevenknow3707 Norway would never allow the mass production of such garbage.
It's not the product, it's the mass production of it that poisons everyone. …everyone.
My son just sent me a picture of his lego treehouse with the caption, "Is this even wood?"
Hilarious, very entertaining and genuine demonstrations of the product. I love this video! You certainly made your point across as clear as day.
The existential crisis I feel in your editing is pure gold.
*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.
My god I've been reduced to a doubting skeptic, I think ... Nah, I doubt that too.
Is anything real anymore?

“It just grabbed me like nothing else has before”
Bill Cosby: “hold my pudding pop”
Lol I almost did a bit on that but decided against it🤣🤣🤣👍👊
@tan j maz yes, that is exactly the joke. Good job.
at least your sheath is functioning, I bought one for $15 and the sheath don't even fit.
I literally laughed till I cried watching this. Great info!! 👍👍👍👍
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)
I remember back in 99', I ordered an arming sword from Museum Replicas that was made in India. When I went to bend the blade with my hands to test its flexibility, the blade stayed bent with only light amount of pressure applied to it.
You can buy vintage hand wound Omega watches from India on eBay, they even come with a spare battery.
Your definition was spot on... "patter welded steel." The handle was micarta, don't know if anybody else mentioned it below. I didn't know what it was until I watched a video from Lewis Razors 3 years ago. He used it frequently for his razor blade scales.
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.
"Stand back, I've got Damascus" lol
Tim Barry I laughed out loud so hard... this is perhaps some of the best RUclips I have seen in a very long time.
Stand back I have- well I have no idea what this is made out of
After looking at the insides of that blade i want a butterfinger..
Forbidden snack
best reply!
LOL, that;s exactly what I thought of.
Exactly what you want your DaMAsCuS grain structure to look like
Or a butter... fly knife?...
I love your style of humor man. Haha. I was waiting for you to break out a microscope to see that saw blade action though! Keep 'em coming. Your videos are informative without taking yourself too serious. Bravo 👍
Lol 😂 i had to cut so much out. Ididnt think of that one though. 🤣🤣🤣👍👍👊
I bought a similar one from a gun show for about $25-$30 (don't recall exactly) and while it is NOT a great knife does look nice and is handy around the shop
Read your comment and saw your name Hello from another Travis J. but my last is Jones.
@@travisj.1938
And greetings to you my TravisJ brother!
I was wondering what they did with my old toaster.
You sir win the knife internet for 2019!
That is wall hanger its not supposed to be a knife . just look fancy to non trained eye.
A 10$ mora is a real tool . this is a knife shaped object.
Video is great and great editing . is your camera also possed by cthulu?
Or possessed? LOL!
we have too many words being made by millennials and those who think they're cool but knife shaped object is one of the best ones I've heard. I'm going to use it every time someone gives me a free one
@@neilleatham5662 that's not a word. That's a term.
@@ModernBladesmith What do you mean? I have a knifeshapedobject hanging on my wall, doesn't everyone?
@@markfergerson2145 no. He said it was a made up term. "Knife shaped object" i a term
I cant believe the amount of people believing that their knives are damascus steel when they are clearly etched. Glad to see someone finally has some common sense. Thank you.
I’d check it for dried blood, looks like it’s been used to saw through a few things at a microscopic level.
Hi Alex , thanks for saving me $25 , I don't tend to buy cheap knives anyway ! I think Uri Geller would have had a heap of fun with that ' Damascus ' knife
Well at 25 bucks it was a “steel” alright!
Seriously funny video. I laughed so much I had tears coming out of my eyes.
Aye. Love those Moras. Even the basic Companion comes out sharp as hell.
Dude you just made me pee! Good ol saying “good work ain’t done cheap and cheap work ain’t done good” great video Alex
Loved it. You’re editing and comedic value made this review. Excellent watch, thanks.
I literally just laughed for almost 20 mins straight. OMG this whole thing is priceless.
I think you mean worthless...!
Well the knife yes, haha! I just mean the general randomness of the whole thing.
I like it! The Damascus is nice, and the handle looks ergonomic. I DO have a similar one, and it is alright!
Please buy another one and heat treat and normalize i want to see
I have some of the pieces maybe ill try to Harden a piece🤷♂️
I second this. I wonder what you could make this garbage into!
OUTDOORS55 just reforge it proper
@@joshrepik I'm not sure you can re-forge bubble gum...
Matthew Shannon wellllllll I didn’t realize what shit metal it was when I wrote that
This is what happens when your on eBay late at night and you have $25! We all do it, But we all know better!
If I had a dollar for everytime I've thought to myself "you'd think I'd have learned by now" as I collect some other crap from my letterbox...
Well actually I probably wouldn't have many dollars because I'd pump them back into eBay, but you get the gist😉
You're Right, in my case its watches, I never learn! in the last 2 yrs I have bought 3 watches via facebook, NONE of them were as advertised, I have discovered that its called Bait and switch. They steal someone else's advert and then put a price that's affordable, 3 weeks later you get some Chinese Drop shipped junk. When you complain they offer you $3 refund, if you really push you get up to $10 refund. If you insist on a refund, you have to return it to China at your own expense, so even more money down the tube and still no guarantee that you get your refund. It's a waste of time complaining to facebook, I mean what are they going to do, Not sell them advertising space lol. India and Pakistan are as bad, Poor people trying to con the rich westerner!
Oooooh! I can feel the $25 dollar worth of anger on the other side of the monitor........
It is a chinesium, isn't it?
Stole my line🤣🤣🤣
Chinesium would be an upgrade.
@J C no that would also be an upgrade from pakistanium.
@@garethbaus5471 Can confirm, have African made letter opener. Good metal, primitive craftmanship. The wooden sheath, and handle, are actually well-made, but the blade is hammered out without professional tools.
@Creeping Death ya beat me to it.
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👍🙏
Dude found you by accident and whilst at my mum's we watched your review. I have to say this is one of the funniest reviews I have ever seen anywhere. After 45 years of playing with knives and 38 plus years of serious camping and survival this vid rocks bro still laughing. Cheers Phil from Aus 😎
Dude kicks a tree, “Is this even wood?”
i spent $15.00 on a knife year's ago,, and it's still going strong,, it's a MORA..
thank you, Thomas Forshey, for the information about a completely different, unrelated knife.
@@sable7687 Ikr. It was the best most useful comment in the whole section.
@@sable7687 However, it is relevant to the video.
@@SondreGrneng the only thing relating it is the fact that its a somewhat cheap knife, not even specifying that it came from Ebay. Its fairly typical for a storebought knife to last a while.
@@sable7687 u even watched the vid bro?
I really love watching this episode. I always laugh every time I watch it very well-made.!!!!😂😂😂
17:20 I've never seen metal break like that in my life
Define metal
Metal
Looked like Lead
I have. Pot metal and old steering columns break like that
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?
"for 24:99 you can get your self one heck of a knife"
*Looks over to my right where a 18 year old mora that is still serviceable is laying.... that i gave 8 Swedish kronor for*
I guess...
18 years of inflation isn’t nothing.
I bought that used...
You can get the same model of knife today for 150 Swedish kronor (about 15 euro or dollars lazily translated)
It was about the same back then...
imagine getting a knife for $0.92 period. I gotta get me a mora
hey im fr norway
8 crowns? Like a dollar? Did you buy it used or is the inflation in Sweden shit these days.
Lol ! This shit wuz so funny I had to subscribe !! 🤣😂😎
So back when I was a kid many decades ago, there were "hobo" shops down skid row. Shops where a hobo could get whatever one might need on the road. Mess kits, ponchos, Sleeping bags, socks, fuel cans, used hustler magazines, etc. Pakistani steel "bum stickers" could be had for $5 or so. Big heavy blades with a sort of pointy end. They were single use items...
I know you wrote this a year ago but that is so interesting. By "skid row" do you mean downtown LA area? or is that more of a general term? also, what were the bum stickers like? and how could a blade be single use? like in the context of self defense orr
I think this is the best cheap knife vid i ever saw, had me dying a few times
So you spent $24.99 on a leather sheath you should have try to sharpen the leather 😂
Great video
Is this even leather ?
@@BughunterX Yes of course NOT
Everyone considering buying a Damascus knife from that pace should watch this, great work.
I'm a metallurgical engineer and my eyes started bleeding when I saw the fracture surface 18:00

@@yugen I'm not sure how we ended up in medicine
It's pathetic
It looks like shale rock or something lol
That’s what you call a knife shaped object, with a wood look handle, made of simulated steel.
You didn't buy a knife. You bought a movie prop. Looks like a real knife at a glance, but can't actually hurt anyone.
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!
"You know what?... What are YOU doing?" That one really got me LMAO! Excellent video, man.
Ay. The Swedish genes in me got happy when you name dropped Morakniv.
This is some of the funniest shit I’ve ever seen
