Speaking of copies or clones. Have you looked at Temu? They appear to be selling Benchmade’s that are discontinued and no longer listed. Or they are well made exact copies. I will admit I recently bought a Benchmade Altitude fixed blade in S90v, for $30. It arrived in less than a week from a US address. I can’t test the steel but it just looks like the real thing. I know it way to cheap, but it looks real. IDK what to think
Oh yes! I got your email about that! I have not checked out Temu. They actually sent me an email a few months ago wanting to partner with the channel, but I turned them down. Maybe I should get some of their stuff and see if it's worth anything!
Many of the AliExpress sellers also sell on Temu, Amazon, Walmart, Stein, DHGate, etc etc. All the same stuff. Many of the big brands are made in China where the labor already making the name brand knives make bootlegs aka clones. They don't use so-called premium steals and they are basically selling budget versions of the knives they're already contracted to make without the Epstein allied capitalism. Epstein, Maxwell, Diddy are Wall Street tools used to blackmail their competitors & oversight (politicians, police, feds, etc) to set up monopolies for market dominance. Wiping out small mom & pop companies. Not something to respect or celebrate. I'm the autistic savant #NavyBrat daughter of Kennedys Native American autistic savant Navy Special Forces instructor, cryptologist/code breaker, spook, assassin. I had to be trained as an assassin because Kennedys Klan (Patriot/MAGA) assassins are too chicken to threaten him to his face so they targeted me. His mongrel child. Molested & brutalized then they said HE did it. Most are buried next to their Many lynching victims. Anyway, I digress. This assassin Navy Brat & whistleblower federal investigator buys clones all day long before I give a dime to Epsteins Wall Street cabal.
Def one of matts designs. Whe. I girst say his knock off pocket muk i was offended but he worked with bokwr to launch it. Of course being made over there, it was already coppied and on ali express
Us poor guys like awesome knives too. I have 2 izulas that I bought because I like the design. I bought a stainless copy for work (wet environment)at a fraction of the price that has a better sheath system and won't rust up on me. Sure I don't have the warranty Essee has on my izulas I also can't justify spending the money when the copy does the job for what I need it for. Just saying.
I'm with you there as far as being one of the poors😂 I love inexpensive knives. 95% of everything I review is budget, even the stuff that gets sent to me for free or as loans. I've got an entire series on this channel about "cheap" knives (and the 5th season is running right now). But, I think copying someone else's design is just lazy. If a company will cut corners with design, where else are they cutting corners? There are a TON of budget alternatives to expensive knives that aren't copies. I recommend those knives far more frequently.
I horizontal appendix carry mine with straps. $38 USD is not a bad price for what you get.
Great option. Thanks for watching!

Yeah, the Boker one is a licenced collaboration. This one is absolutely not😂

Also, this knife you are reviewing is cheaper than the deposit for a custom gentry.😅

@@gideonsstuff I did subscribe by the way. I'm looking forward to watching the rest of your content.
@@andyruiz2229 I appreciate it, man! Welcome to the channel👍😁
Teklok sucks and should always be replaced because they all ride too high.
Can't argue with that in this case! Thanks for watching👍
