Temu Knife Haul / Will they Even Cut Paper

- So I decided to throw some money away and get some Temu knives. These are definitely clones and some random pieces of sorta sharpened metal. #temu #temuhaul #edc #knife #knifereview
Thanks for watching. I know I’m no knife expert but figured I’d share my recent experience. I don’t know what kind of metal is used nor do I know how and what heat treatment it may or may not have but I figured I’d at least see if they have an edge. Who knows how long it will last though !
Can you link to some of these knives?
@@jonenglish6617 I can’t, I looked up some of them and they aren’t available from the same seller. You can easily find similar ones by searching for outdoor knife
@@RandoWayne thank you
I bought 3 "Kershaw" assisted folding knives for the guys. I did some research and found that the "made in USA logo'ed" knives are made in China but are made in the factory that make the non-made in USA Kershaw knives. The only difference on the outside is the color scheme. The actions are crisp with a positive stop and lock. The stee is labeled 8CR13MOV. They came fairly sharp but of course I had to put a 6000+ edge on them and they hold an edge well. I paid $13 each. The Originals were running at $65 at that time. I know I should be buying "real" merch but for one fourth the price it's hard to pass up. Real knives shouldn't cost $300-$400. They have over a 1000% mark up.
@@ohboah320 I’m all for paying as little for a tool I’m going to more than likely break . Knives are definitely so much mark up
So I have the real Ka-Bar you showed. I got it from SMKW. My dad bought the same one off temu. We compared them and the color was alittle off between the two. The temu one was a lighter tan. But that could be the fact mine is older by a few years. But as far we could tell it’s a real ka-bar. Without out sending both off to have the steel tested. You can’t tell at all if it’s “fake”. It’s the real deal to me.
That pretty crazy, thanks for sharing your comparison. I mean fake or not it will definitely cut!
That sounds right. Yhe story i got from temu is that it often times is overproduction but there's of course clones as well.
That benchmade bugout clone is good for the price. I would recommend it if you need a budget knife
Definitely not bad for the price . The price makes it expendable which is good because if you use it like knives are meant it can definitely be out through abuse
Ten dollars!?!?
I'm going into the flea market knife business....😁
Great info sir. Thank you!
At the time of purchase it was just over 10, I’m sure a little more now. Yeah though , knife flea market not a bad idea! Take care
The second benchmade bugout is the same exact one I got off Temu, it is honestly nicer than my legit bugout😭😭
Oh geez! Crazy how close these seem
Just picked up a tops brakimo clone. Its extremely authentic and came very sharp out of the box.
That’s pretty cool!
I had to adjust the pivot on my genuine Benchmade Crooked River to get the blade to open smoothly. They often take some adjustment and breaking in.
@@caseybaker5830 that’s fair, I’ll have to try that. Take care
I have purchase quite a few knives from Temu, I have BM hidden country, a BM altitude, a cold steel 4max scout, a coupon of Russian paratrooper knives where the blade folds into the spilt handle scales, a couple kizers from Kizer direct, a reate exo, and many more. Some are razor sharp and hold an edge extremely well. Others seem to be soft d2 or similar.
Thank you for sharing and watching. For the money spent I’m not disappointed with the edge of most of them. We will see how they hold up and sharpen up after.
Hey man. Your voice is nice and chill so it lines well with asmr. The temu stuff always interest people. All in all if your looking for a chill reviewer id say youve got a good start going ! Rooting for you
Thank you I appreciate it. Take care and be safe out there
Real BM bugout scales will flex some when pushed. And for the axis lock. They do come in either black or stainless depending on the color scheme.
Not saying it may be real. But real ones do that too. And the action. Even new BM Bugouts have a break in period before they are really smooth.
Thank you for that info! I only held one iteration of the bugout and it was fairly smooth. That being said the guy ant the store was thinking it open and closed a bunch like it was his job so I’m assuming that is why. The 2 I have did vary oddly enough with flexing the second seems the most ‘real’.
Bra safe out there and take care!
@@RandoWayne yea. That’s the “display knife” the one everyone handles. When you guy them. It should be a brand new one. I’ve been a BM fan since my days in the Military. Some models are better than others. I love the Bugout. But not a fan of the stock scales. I love the carbon fiber one though!
I have several different BM knives. The discontinued 555 is my personal favorite.
But I do have a $30 Amazon unbranded clone of the bugout. And am impressed with it. Sure it’s no where near as nice. And like you said with these, I have no idea what the steel is. I’d probably guess 440c. But after break in, the action is nice. Doesn’t hold edge terribly well. But easy to sharpen quickly. I think it would be just fine for anyone who wants or likes the design but can’t or won’t spend $200 for a real one. I’d assume these Temu ones are on par with the Amazon clone. Not a bad knife for the price!
And rock on man! You to!
Yeah the real bugouts frn scales flex. To the point where you can touch both scales together.
@@kaifriesen2664 thanks for sharing. Take care
@@kaifriesen2664 it definitely has some flex to it. But that’s also part of the design. It’s a sub 2oz knife. That’s part of the appeal. Sure there’s countless aftermarket scales. Some better functioning. Some make the axis lock harder to use. But nearly all add bulk. Taking away from the slim light knife. Benchmade themselves know this. That’s why you can buy factory ones with a variety of scales
What the "Benchmade" and "KaBar" knives actually are is 100% illegal counterfeit merchandise that violate US copyright laws. It's one thing to rip off a design; knife companies do it all the time. It's entirely another matter to slap a US company's trademark on your outright fake and then violate their copyright on their packaging and paperwork. In one fell swoop the Chinese who make this stuff (Temu is actually many "stores" that gather stuff together, kind of like Amazon has sellers) rip off both the buyer and the company that holds the copyright/trademark. Fun bonus: purchasing these and bringing them into the US is illegal and you CAN be arrested or fined by CBP. Probably won't bother you if you buy a couple, but if you're buying like cases of these things to resell? If you get caught they WILL prosecute you.
Just like many other things that get copied on the market these knives follow suit. I know companies that produce items and sell them are trying to make an honest venture while these copies can definitely put a damper on why they are doing. It makes sense that if someone bought and was trying to resell these that they could be held accountable as they are participating in screwing over legit companies. For those that buy like I did and in my case more for inspection I know I’m not helping the cause here but maybe I can help others to choose more wisely. Thanks for watching and take care
OK fed go and Karen someone else and don't watch his videos if you've got a problem 🙄
Hey Elmer Fudd go back to yelling at your tv
US laws don't hold and value in China, unfortunately.
What a dick 😂 he thinks those companies need money they’re charging us such a fair price they’re broke
The real bugout can definitely be squeezed together, that’s why I went with the Hogue Deka, it’s $40 cheaper, has better scales and comes in better steel, either Magnacut or 20cv. Hogue is definitely the most underrated USA made knife company.
I recall it being a little firmer in nature but then again I didn’t have a real comparison. The second clone I opened felt more “real” as the scales seemed a little stronger. I’ll have to look into hogue knives a little more, I do have one that’s a few years old now and still serving well. Thanks for sharing and take care.
cook video. enjoyed it. I really like pocket knives. Handy tools.
Definitely handy to always have one, or 10. I figured I’d see how some super cheap ones stacked up. Thanks for watching bro
Yeah, check out the instructions. My buddy had a fake ka bar bk-19 he bought from Amazon and I had the real one and they’re pretty similar but the instructions were different.
@@CarrieWard-ny1zl I’ll have to check that out, that is for that. Be safe out there and take care
Interesting video.I really enjoyed it.
Thank you and take care
New subscriber brother, looking forward to watching more of your videos ❤
Thanks so much, I greatly appreciate it! Take care and be safe out there
At 10 bucks for the fake Bugout you can't go wrong, throw one in the tackle box, one in the glove box, etc. If you lose it or break it, no big deal. Use it as the tool it is, replace as needed.
That’s the way I look at it honestly. Good work around knife and tool. No hard feeling if broken or damaged. Thanks for watching and take care
well worth the money. cant beat $15
At 15$ can be expendable and can get another without having to worry about it
I love the wolverine Reference Adamantam
@@Bbradey-l4q I mean, it’s totally possible
The KA-Bar is sweet 🔥
Fake or not it’s one legit knife!
Why don’t you grab one of the Miller brothers $800 knives for $80?
@@CarrieWard-ny1zl I could, for science of course
@@RandoWayne yes, in the name of science 🫡, then it would only be scientific to grab a real one for comparison🤭somebody’s wife is going to be pissed😆
@@CarrieWard-ny1zl 😬
Thanks mate for doing this video. I have got three bushcraft knives from Temu and I am very pleased with their performance and how well they hold their edge. I have split 5in logs with on problems and shave with them after. I have put a Scandy grind on them tho as I find it to be a much better grind for bushcraft.
My next Temu purchase is probably going to be a survival knife. I’ll see how the edge is and holds up. Not a bad idea for a maintenance grind to keep up with sharpness! Thanks for watching and take care
Thanks you for this
No problem, thanks for watching and take care
Use a screwdriver and witness the smoothness.
clean it grease it n tighten it up
I have never seen any of these on Temu
When I bought these every knife search had these pop up
Well, Sir, You and I know these are Crayola knives, so why would you waste your $$$$ ? Maybe in the hope of finding a winner? Good knives under $10? Quite a few, IMO. Thanks
@@jeffthomas5291 I feel it wasn’t money wasted in all honesty. Was worth a roll of the dice and a few are really quite usable.
Not a knife guy but have a question if you sharpen the knife and then put it to the test to see if it holds, maybe they just don’t come sharpened from the manufacture???.
That’s a great question and idea. I get that they may just be dull and if I sharpen and then use and cut and see how it holds. I can try that.
Definitely spelled wrong. Great video, though- love your content!
That’s just part of how fake these are, definitely isn’t even real. That and I’m terrible at spelling 😬.
@@stvbrwn8 fixed! Thanks!
Every single one of those knives will break with even just medium duty use .
Well I guess I get to have minimal fun for a short time
Be good knives to give a buddy instead of the good stuff
That’s a good idea!
Damn Chinamen! Took all my damn money and Benchmade laughed when I tried to return all 45 knives. You haven’t heard the last of me China!
@@user-fc6ci8dh3m I wonder if people actually tried to return stuff to benchmade?
@@RandoWayne I guarantee someone out there either is lacking or someone on a whim tried it.
You’re probably right
The design is not that of a ka-bar
Correct , just wearing the brand name
If you buy from TEMU dont expect a 100.00 knife for 10.00. You buy from TEMU because you want cheep and functional. I have several of their knives and they are well made and if they arent razor sharp, I sharpen them. No problems at all.
I sharpened up the dull ones and will use them just like any other tool.
I am wondering if these are knives that failed their QA testing
@@micheletremonti2434 honestly it’s anyone’s guess at this point?
BRUH. I spent TEN WEEKS EDC-ing Temu knives for a video series. It sucked SO DAMN MUCH.
That’s a decent amount of time. What sucked the most? Just overall knife quality or usability
Quality most. Poor fit & finish, poor ergos, poor edge, iffy edge retention, everything. 2 of the 10 would have passed for light use carries for non-knife guys.
Dang, well at least you have it a really good trial. Thanks for sharing!
I carried a vg10 endura after carrying k390 and magnacut for 6 months. I'm so spoiled at this point I can't imagine how it would feel to use one of these knives the fixed blades don't look terrible for camping if they were sharpened up I suspect they never completely removed the bur, guessing they're sharpened on big belts.
@@andrewgiunta2182 some sharpening and taking to a leather strap may help them out
I don’t like benchmade and wouldn’t recommend any of their knives probably just as good as these fakes
Then I guess it’s good that I got these! I doubt I will but the real thing as I’m like my Swiss tech a lot! Thanks for sharing and watching though, take care
Same thing with cold steel..
I hear that from many Benchmade collectors. 🤷🏽♀️ All fed up with Benchmade jacking up their prices like they're pure gold & 🔹 diamonds
lol someone’s mad because they can’t afford them
@@jakehelton8989 i can afford them they just aren’t worth it when you can get better knives with better steel for the same price and in some cases cheaper
Supporting Chinese counterfeiters isn’t very cool.
I didn’t say I was supporting it. Thanks for watching
can talk a heap of shi
Thanks for watching
Lol 😂
Shit copy 😂😂
