I Bought The World's Cheapest Knife (Is It Worth It?)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 дек 2022
- We need to find out the age-old question, is this one-penny folding knife worth your hard-earned money? To find out if it's worth it, we need to know three things. How good is the build construction? Is it sharp? Will it survive the dishwasher?
You can check out the knife on Amazon if you’d like: amzn.to/3VEibfa
At the time of recording, this knife cost $0.01 + $10 shipping, I noticed that the price has been going all over the place, at the time of posting this video the price is now $6.99 + $10 shipping.

This series needs a follow up series. "Build it right". Keep the concept of the tested knives, but design it better and build it right. Thanks for all the entertainment!
Hear!Hear!
That's a great idea for a video
Agreed
exactly my thought. Give these knives a Royerfication
Brilliant idea!
Kyle: the most talented, intricate and innovative bladesmith on YT
Also Kyle: I’m gonna fix it up with some duct tape
Novice makers dont do folding knives for a reason lol
There is a big scam going on right now, DO NOT MESSAGE ME ON THE TELEGRAM APP! It's not me...
The plunge lock is not the only thing that keeps the blade from opening too far. The blade is stopped by the STOP PIN. You can see it in the shot where the blade wobbles from side to side. That pin must have gotten knocked out by the impact of the blade on the bottle.
Nevermind. The knife performed as expected.
This is a nice series! May I suggest you also buy a knife from a new/novice knife maker and review them and give them tips on how to improve their craft.
😁
The blade is held up with a pin in the open position, it just got lost during the disassembly or left out while primary assembly.
Thanks for the nostalgia, I've had a lot of these around in my childhood.
I would like to see you fix all the flaws of that $0.01 knife.
I'm from Indonesia we're so glad to see your work is so amazing We'd like to see you draw weapons from our lands in Indonesia, as well as the Javanese mandau and the dayak thanks 🤗
No way.. that was 1 penny... if so.. it was like 10 bucks for shippong... if it was 1 penny.. and free shipping.. THAT WOULD BE A MIRACLE
I would love to see you make a knife in the same design, but with your usual excellent quality.
More cheap knife tests! I love these. But less spoilers in the intro lol
I like this new format Kyle and team, keep up the good work
This was a fantastic video. Great job, guys!
Would be fun to see a colab video from different smiths. Something like making the same knife but who can come up with the best Damascus pattern
i would say its absolutely "worth it".... perfect boat or tackle box knife, for people like me who occasionally lose them in the drink. i probably would've splurged & bought like 5 or 10
For a vent this is extremely good.
Ayo I own this knife. I absolutely love the locking mechanism on it. It also has a flashlight. My blade isn’t wiggling or moving.
Any consideration of making a Damascus auto folder?
I got an OTF knife one time, and I agree with you about automatic knives. They're just fun to open and close. It's like a fidget spinner. It's relaxing.
Would love to see you make your version of this knife with quality materials.
Love this series
Just recently I found my brother's folding knife he bought 10 years ago when we were kids. It's almost the same, just a slightly different design. I tried to fix the mechanism but the spring is diformed, I have to make another one if I want it to work again.
I was able to fix his italian stiletto style switchblade though (likely from the same manufacturer), since it has a much simpler mechanism.
100% the dishwasher cam!!!! You are changing the game!!!!
I'd say just from the design alone, it's already more than worth it for a penny, can just put it as decoration or something, definitely not something very practical but it's still look very cool to have around
AQ! Wow! Beautiful knife, but your knives are way better!) Awesome knife experiment video! Based on the quality of a cheaper knife.
I have a similar POS knife I use as a letter opener.
it's 7.00 now, you can get three descent cheep Kershaw knives at Walmart right now for $19.00 for Christmas, get those instead
I love these cheap knife tests.😂🍻
Now I want to see your knives in such test! 😎
9:20 hate to say it but what stops the knife is a piece of metal in the holes at the top of each side of the handle and it pops out if the knife is too loose
So what did the grain structure look like after you broke the blade?
Actually, I wager that when the knife failed that it was because the stop pin flew out. You can even see where the stop pin is supposed to sit in the liners.
@Telegrm me👉KyleRoyerknives1
I think you are a scammer.
Good vid. Would like to see you make some unusual folders. Gravity knife maybe
hello, congratulations for the amazing works, can you do the same knife you just broke as damascus?
Nice video man i bought a Kandar knife and man im impresed for like 6$ i tought i would throw the knive in thrash but it servs me like 5 years all ready as edc and i can't complain its just perfect knife for that price
I was curious as to if it would be the same price in shipping no matter how many you bought, but they are 7 bucks on Amazon now.
I agree you opened the door now you have to build a replacement.
Should be interesting to see a good knife with that mechanism (perfected!). Why don't you make one? Then compare the two at the end. Kind regards
Looks like I just found my white elephant ;)
I would love to see u make one of these up to your standards
you missed the whole reason your blade started over rotating..... your blade stop bar fell out because the pivot screw needed to be tighteded before you used it and that let the liners spread out to far and let the stop bar fall out when you were beating on the knife.
the real question is, how the hell does anyone, anywhere in the world, make a penknife for 1 cent? I mean, even in the poorest country in the world, the costs for production and the material alone are much higher than what the end product costs!?! this is absolutely crazy in my eyes! who can actually sell something like that for such a price? even if the price for shipping - the delivery should cost 500 times what the product itself costs! just saying that makes it that much crazier
I bought some of those piece of junk knives. Most had a cheesy tiny flash light
In the back. Absolute junk.
But, the liners can be used to make a decent knife.
I Love opening and closing knifes all the time. I took all my knifes apart just to see the inside.
Funny name you've got there stranger!
You are very generous, surviability I would have given a -5 out of 10. But also you need to introduce a catrgory: having fun destroying a knife. Here 10 of 10
“Lightly used, like new condition, comes with the original box”
How fun would be to see you fix that.
This comment is not intended to seem negative or calls bad feelings whatsoever. That being said, I would love to see you, make the identical knife, and then put it through the same exact testing that you put this one through.
Cool little knife. To bad switchblades are illegal in Canada.
Im pretty sure i bought identical knife in some fishing store for like 3$
It broke in like 2-3 days while the most hardcore thing i've done with it was sharpening some stick
On the bright side, it looked kinda pretty before you started testing it!
Wait, what!?? Stefan Molyneux is building knives now? 😂 Seriously beautiful work though my man. Love the videos.
The stop pin fell out that's why blade can rotate backwards now :P
How about making one and build it the way it should be done, that would make for a great video. Regards from Down Under.
So I have a question for you. Is it possible to make a Damascus blade that is made from old or cheap pocket knives and cheap or used kitchen knives? If it is possible or if it hasn’t been tried, then there’s a challenge in there for you.
What miracle steel is this, where it shatters like glass but also can't hold an edge for 20 seconds??
You should test Microtech knives and other brands and see if thay worth it
I find it funny that such a blade could VERY easily be fixed in design, but for some reason, it's just not. I've seen these gas station garbage knife designs many times, but they all use the exact same wobbly and useless system. It's really easy to fix by just making things tighter, which shouldn't be a problem, so I genuinely don't get it. It's like these knives are designed to give someone a nasty scar. They don't even have to make the catch out of steel, because I'm assuming it's just aluminum. Even aluminum would hold up for one or two hits as long as it hits flat, but these things are designed to scrape the edge off. Also, the safety as well, just needs to be tighter and it would be infinitely better.
Don't know if you'll get this but I just watched ( Awesome Restorations ) guy make a Avatar Na'vi hunting knife would love to see your version Im sure it would be incredible.
I want to see you testing your knives
This is why u always do ur homework when u buy anything off of Amazon I have managed to get some really gud knives from Amazon and I also had some duds with that knife being a penny u can't expect too much out of it
It IS worth it. You could buy a gross of these....rent a table at a flea market....then sell them for about $2 each and make a profit! Minus the table rent of course.
So on the bolster I see that it has a spot for a stop pin so maybe on this particular knife they forgot to put one in.
Just watched a fully animated commercial about a lady who eats spaghetti with Heinz ketchup with no sugar in it on top. Cuz she used to eat that as a child and still wants to be healthy tho in old age now… wtf
I’m concerned there’s a knife on Amazon whose only viable use-case is deploy once and leave in victim.
hi boss how can i buy this knife pls
No the stop pin fell out is why the blade kept going
proper landfill material
I have one of those. But smaller.. but it is supposed to be decent quality
I need to get it, i love chinesium!
I have one of them knives and they are alot sharper then he let's on but they do break easy
How much was the shipping?, because usually they list the price really cheap but have a high shipping?
10 dollar.
Those hands are too good for that " knife"
Just checked it's now 6.99 on amazon lol
Tbh, for 1 Penny this is fire
The lights don't turn off when you start the dishwasher?!
I'd say it's worth the penny. But definitely NOT the shipping cost. Plus, I no longer support Amazon since they deleted ALL MY CUSTOMER REVIEWS last year. Amazon is a terrible company and I will never do business with them again. But I will support making fun of their crappy products, so keep it up!
How did they sell this thing for a penny ?
This same " knife " cost me $5 at the flea market as a teenager.
1 cent? Imma buy 100 for my moms bday
Alright, now you need to keep going up the price range... eventually culminating with a Shirogorov Custom Division.
I bet you could make an amazing Automatic knife!!
I need a link or smth
A letter opener sure but you get what you pay for right love the videos buddy
Great video And the test are really brutal but I have to say that in the test please don't waste the food.
Hey thanks
Absolutely we don’t either
Merry Christmas my friend
Dad
Damn you replied. That's good to know. Merry Christmas to you as well
Ngl, id buy it and dull the hell out of the blade and cut off the tip and round it out to make a butter knife or fidget toy
Does anyone in the family actually know how to play that nifty guitar in the background?
Is it worth $0.01? Absolutely! Is it worth $10 shipping? No way
Pour le prix du couteau, c'est une bonne trouvaille je pense !? Même les finitions,a la caméra, ont l air honorables. bien des pièces sont de moins bonne facture a un prix supérieur, largement
1 penny knife, how much was the "shipping"?
Edit: 10.99, I wonder how much was real shipping cost
Kyle Royer, your one penny knife had suffered a catastrophic blade failure and we can't continue our testing...
You should never score a one, what if the next knife is worse lol
How in He double hockey stix are you sharpening that Chinese pot metal Lmao 🤣 😂
normal use of those should last many years i got a chinese one still working
i would buy that for at the most... $20
🤔 but can the 🔪 cut butter❓
Man,...what you got against chickens??
Good morning
When you run out of hair, so the trolls have to take the hit.
Am I missing an inside joke as to why he says "strope" instead of strop?
In the UK that is called a flick knife, illegal i think.
Correct you cannot carry a blade length longer than 3"with any form of locking mechanism
Not in Texas. We can carry these with guns strapped to our hips. Yee haw 🤠!
@@robco6997 The automatic opening mechanism is also an issue regardless of the blade length. In Western Australia, this $0.01 knife (plus shipping) could cost me imprisonment for 3 years and a fine of $36,000. I'm going to say "not worth it".
