- what's up everyone we are going to be testing some of the cheapest knives you can find to see if they hold up at all or fall apart let me know what yall would like to see me test!

link for the knife: share.temu.com...
One of the biggest mistakes I ever made was chopping a 4 by 4x4 in half with my strong arm lmao I liked to have died😂
Man I'm glad to see you taking the plunge I happily subscribed
Oh shit man did not expect to see you here damn I really appreciate it I watch your stuff all the time and I can't wait to do some more testing on these cheap ass temu knives I was highly surprised how well this thing did!
@@SteinzVsKnives there are always diamonds in the rough and I think you may be surprised at how many good ones you come across
@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors hell yea I've got 9 more to go and 2 of them are either clones or seconds of the kabar Becker harpoon that was only 27 on temu but like 150 everywhere else can't wait to see if that actually holds up I'll be super excited
@@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors The hot babes in the outdoorsie videos use a chunk of branch as a hammer to whack the knife blade to make cuts. Their boobs jiggle a bit but their arms are not straining.
@@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors Hah! I could write a book about all the stupid things I did to sprain, cut, burn, or break something. I was such a hazard, as a baby my very first word was Red! I was about a year old, crawled into the bathroom, and picked up a double edged razorblade my father had dropped on the bathroom floor, and I was gripping it tightly in my baby fist. Then I crawled over to where my mother was sewing at her sewing machine, held up my hand to her, still clutching the razorblade, with blood dripping between all my fingers and shouted Red! a couple of times. I don't remember the experience, but I've heard the story a hundred times. Apparently, it took 16 stiches to stop the bleeding.
I started watching this video and got sleepy so I laid down to take a nap and when I woke up you were still pecking on that piece of wood 😂😂😂
Lmao yea my dumbass decided it would be a good idea for my first video to use hard wood
@@SteinzVsKnives yeah, and next time you’ll know how to make a feather stick and other useful stuff 😊👍🏻
I have the three knives from my OIF deployments to choose from when camping, a Ka-Bar, a Benchmade and a Halfbreed light infantry. My 13 y/o wanted one to take this year, don’t trust him to care for one yet so bought him one of these. Figure if he looses or breaks it, it was a couple bucks. I was shocked how well it did and how reliable it was. He loves it and has it secured in his lock box.
That is awesome brotha thank you for your service! And yea that was a good idea I honestly couldn't believe how well this knife held up especially for that price it's not a bad knife at all thank you for coming by
@@mhutchins27 I have 5 original k-bars from WW2. Two of them are USMC and the other three are US army. I never use them much but I have a USMC K-bar I purchased new 12 year's ago and I use it every time I go hunting and camping and it works great and keeps a sharp edge! It's made in Olean NY . Cost me 100 dollars back then when I purchased it at the hardware store. My old ones I'm trying to keep them in good shape because they have been around since WW2.
You could easily get him a decent knife from a reputable brand in the same price point i remember Camillus had a decent little fixed blade with a titanium bonded steel for $18 at Walmart so 4 dollars or so more than this knife but from an actual knife company and it held a decent edge so much so I gave my mom the brown one I had cause I prefer black knives and she used that knife to cut bait fish every chance she got and you can go to blade HQ and find decent budget options from reputable brands online people have to start understanding that they don’t have to stoop copies/poor quality clones to get a cheap knife there’s so many good knives that’ll out perform any temu knife in a similar price bracket, it looking the same doesn’t mean the hardness of the steel is the same there’s a lot more that goes into steel hardness, knife makers don’t just pull a number out of their arse and slap it on the box or listing, the hardness of the blade is factored by the type of steel like 420 or 440HC and the heat treating process which usually involves quenching the knife then tempering the knife which I doubt that these cheaper companies do!
@@CajunReaper95Most inexpensive products, even from well-known manufacturers, are made in China. Even inexpensive products made of inexpensive steel materials are almost always mass-produced with good heat treatment.
@CajunReaper95 most cheap knives are made of 440a. 440a is mass produced and the heat treat is also high repeatable with automation... practically every 440a knife has a good heat treat.
When you change the steel you change hardness, toughness and corrosion resistance.
440a is already a tough enough steel for whacking wood, just be prepped to sharpen it.
Damn didn't think it would make it through that firewood. Your neighbors likely think you have major issues 😂. Great video
Lmao I thought the exact same thing they probably think I'm nuts out there screaming to myself 🤣 thanks brotha
Our forefathers would be so jealous of the golden age of solid affordable knives we live in lol.
@jamesm1 yes they very much would lol thank you for watching!
@@SteinzVsKnives "Wait you can buy THAT with 1-2 hours worth of wages?!"
@jamesm1 lol yes exactly 😂
Ya and ashamed of us for rolling over for the gumment and showing our yellow bellies
@@deezenuts7195 "you let them free your slaves and women vote?!"
Legends say if you count how many times I mention it's a 15$ knife you can see how cheap I truly am
I prefer the word frugal. Lol
Did you ever look up the jaakari puuko knives from Finland yet or order any yet,was just curious if you had or not
Temu is just a selling platform... one of many, I use Aliexpress and Bangood... it's like eBay and Amazon, with better prices!... knifemaking is not rocket science... and copying an existed design is simple... I have a big collection of Chinese knives... my favorite is the copy of Cold Steel's Busman... is even bulkier than the original... a spearhead, a short machete, a huge knife, and many more uses...
@@kennywheelus6857 hey yea i did get to look them up they look great i havent got to order one yet though i just got done having surgery and im still recovering!
@@SteinzVsKnives,oh ok, sorry to hear that,you'll enjoy them when you fully recover,but best budget Bushcraft hard use knives I have ever bought, thinking about getting a mountain man knife by work tuff gear,i love how they do their handles an their blades, expensive but tough knives as well an so is the Aries knife, badassery
As a veteran I tended to stick to the real brands as we often got then with a serious discount. But as a knife collector, I’ve bought this one as well for in my hiking and Shooting bag and they are amazingly good! No need to switch them around from bag 2 bag anymore 😂
Yea I was honestly surprised how well this knife did for that price you literally can't beat it thanks brotha!
I think the word " cheap " shouldn't be used when testing the quality of something. If that knife came from or sold by a popular knife manufacturer, the word " budget " would most certainly be used.
That is very true budget is more the word I would give it too but this is the best budget knife I've found to date
Bought some this knife,
This is a 100% accurate review!
Love this knife it's in my Navi survival kit.
Keep the temu reviews brother!
Ty
Awesome brotha thank you so much I appreciate you!
I've bought a few knives from temu, and if you do what a knife is meant to be doing with the knife .it should last a long time most production knives are sourced from China in a lot of companies that claim different. I prefer cheap knives like you say ,your not going to worry about breaking it ,on the flip side a lot of knife makers are now feeling the financial pinch ,so I would support the originals as well .God bless you and your family. Lee
that is very true and so many knife companies are just blatantly ripping people off with their prices but more power to anyone buying them glad they have money to blow
Why support them if a cheaper knife will do, it doesnt make sense, if they're struggling let them drop their bs prices
My Lord, that's one helluva knife for 15 bucks! 😳 Great video, man. I might pick one of these suckers up. I'm really looking forward to what other videos you come out with, especially if they're focused on these budget/clone knives like this.
Thank you so much yea I was really impressed with what it could hold up too and I've got about 6 more temu knives to test coming up soon but I'm also going to be doing a destruction test on this knife to see how much it can take before it fails! I really appreciate you
@@SteinzVsKnives Hella stoked to see that! :D
I have the non-serrated blade model.
Worth the $15.00
Holds a good sharp edge.
Makes a good survival knife to add in with the gear.
Good decent balance.
TEMU will have those knives on sale often but when they are not on sale the price is $21.00 and is still a worthwhile investment for a quality knife that is going to last a long while.
Yea I'm honestly beating the crap out of these knives and they are amazing I bought 10 different knives and I'm working on the video now of the second one!
may I know the name or product details and will check it out on temu as well
@leonardpascual8211 hey check the description I put a link in there
seems pretty good for 15$. one knife you'd have fun with is the magellan bowie knife, I think it's around 20$/25$ now, but it's pretty good for the price. I forgot what steel it was, but I remember it holding an edge ok.
Yea I was really impressed by this makes you wonder how much we are paying here for just the name when most companies are having their knives made in China! Oh really where can I find that knife?
@@SteinzVsKnives well, I got the name wrong, its mossy oak. it shows up on amazon for around 20$.
@@craycraywolf hell yea I'm gonna check that out
Awesome! Great job! I am gonna look at these knives myself now!
For sure brother I'm seriously impressed I'm gonna do a video tonight showing how well it still cuts paper and cardboard after three abuse I put it through just wait this thing is still razor sharp and I've still got 9 more fixed blades from temu to test!
I just got one of these today in the mail, cost $9.95. The sheath is garbage, and yes, those diamond things on the handle need to meet Mr. Sandpaper. Aside from those more-or-less expected things, it seems pretty solid, and for $10? I make knife sheaths so I wanted a knife to use to size for a Strongarm with blowing $85 and here we are. Actually seems much better than I expected that's for sure.
That's awesome brotha you make sheaths so you use leather or kydex in yours? And yes this knife really surprised me it's actually decent especially at that price!
I have a true Gerber strongarm in bdz-1 steel,the only manufacturer 2,000 I believe with grey grippy hande with black sheath,sheath can be used as scout carry or a dangler or molli compatible or more up on the belt,I love my Gerber
Wow I've never even heard of that it sounds awesome brother
@@SteinzVsKnives ,yes sir,hard to find,I bought it off eBay, great condition too,but prices are soaring through the roof on them an the regular Gerber's use to be 50.00 now like 80.00 or more,some Walmart still carry the black or coyote tan ones,the prodigy was the original before they made handle changes
@@SteinzVsKnives ,check out hard use knives no bullshit from verusteleka,from Finland,110 pukko an big brother 140 an the skrama 240,80crv2 carbon steel,bad ass knives
@@SteinzVsKnives ,they have nice sheaths too that don't suck with a snap button retention,the skrama you'll need to snap it cause it'll slide out,other than that no issues,I had someone to make me a dual double piggy back sheath to carry skrama with my 110 pukko,now it's cheaper without sheath,been a couple years ago since I've ordered mine,I suggest getting frog lube to apply after use to keep blades from rusting in wet an humid conditions,it's biodegradable and nontoxic so for wipe clean before food prep an hour good to go,it does a great job protecting knives from rusting or cutting through green wet woods
@@kennywheelus6857 I'm definitely going to look into that frog lube that sounds great thank you
I bought one of those, here in Brazil it isn't so cheap, but is the best knife in the range of price. I have sew the straps on the sheath, couse the buttons would keep unlocking, aside from that, this is a pretty good knif, and I think it is good looking too. Looking forward for buying another one without the serrations.
Good vídeo!
Thank you so much brotha it blows my mind that you're watching my video from Brazil
That my friends is the real Gerber Strongarm.
Yea it definitely performed like the real thing it took all that abuse and still wanted more be looking out I'm gonna do a torture test video of this knife soon!
Real one is made in the US. I got one sent to Australia. Nice knife and was glad it wasn’t a copy.
It might be an 'unbranded' knife, from the same manufacturer, using the correct specs. But if they run out of them, and they are based in China, they'll just send you something different, but similar, just to get your cash.
I bought a couple of Gerber Strongarms on sale off Facebook. Sure enough, the $26 price was too good to be true. On investigation, They turned out to be counterfeit. Came in a nice box, looked like Gerber graphics, and seemed to be well made. I gave one to my grandson before I figured out they were clones ( of course I suspected them due to the price).
The test wood here looks like pine, not hardwood.
oh no thats no good and i can assure you this is hard wood and not pine its hard wood from tennessee if it was pine it would be much easier to chop through
Good first video. I would suggest adding a paper cut though. A dull hatchet that won't cut poster board will still take chunks out of wood. Just chopping wood and making feather sticks is setting the bar pretty low. Can it cut a 3x5 card out of the box? A piece of printer paper? A receipt (ie thermal paper)? How about after all the abuse?
Thank you brotha check out the second video I did just that with this knife after all this abuse it was still Shaving hair and cutting paper!
@@SteinzVsKnives Will do! Funny thing is I was just about to order one of these as the Strongarm is one of the only iconic knives I don't already own. Popped into Tractor Supply for dog food and they had the Strongarm on clearance 50% off, $45 down from $90. Couldn't resist getting the real deal so cheap
@durkadurka5247 yea that's not bad at all brotha I didn't know tractor supply sold strongarms what the hell that's a good deal but 90$ for one is just way too over priced
@@SteinzVsKnives Pretty recent. My Tractor Supply used to just have a few gas station knives near the entrance or checkout. About 2 months ago they redid half an isle to all blades and hatchets. Lots of SOG and Gerber and one or two Chineesium brands.
The serrated part is good for nylon ropes, methonks. Your knife's design category would be greatly appreciated by them folks in the fishing industry.
That's very true brotha I think I didn't like these serrations since they were too long I love some shorter wider serrations
Last week I have bought one for 10$ from a Chinese shop in Cape Town. These are exactly the same knives that are sold ("so-called made'') in the USA - same martensitic stainless-steel, heat-treated hardness, and same quality. I am a materials engineer and own a substantial number of knives, using them mostly for hunting, hiking, and for defence purposes. FYI, the old AK47 Russian bayonet (the medium sized one) is still the best for both military/defence use and as a survival stainless knife.
You need to have on cut resistant gloves doing hard use stuff to help prevent injury.
You're absolutely right about that
What pocket clip do you carry..? Would have liked if you would have shown it in this video as well...thank you for sharing brother 🇺🇸
Thank you! I know I didn't do it this was my first video but I show what I carry in my pocket in all my other videos check them out!
Very helpful & entertaining content brother 💯 you just gain another subscriber 🇺🇲
@@JoseyWhales-ii4dk I really appreciate that thank you so much i will be making more videos soon!
Likely the first couple of purchases you make from a store like temu or wish will be quality items to lull you into a sense of confidence until you buy something a bit more expensive or you get into a pattern of buying from them regularly.
Yea you may be right luckily I only did the one order from them lol
I have over 50 purchases from TEMU and all have been very good quality.
@@ronalddavidson829 oh that's awesome glad to know thanks brotha
I have a gerber prodigy and when i saw the video i was like "that looks just like my knife" lol. Paid 100 for mine .. this seems like a solid alternative. Thanks for the video ✌️❤️
Thank you brotha! Yea I was surprised how good it is for 15$
Nice 👍. I have BG ultimate pro survival knife.
That was one of the knives that I used to love brotha!
Wow!!! That’s impressive ! Starting to make me wonder just how much we are paying for the brand name on some knives ! Great video ! Excited to see more !!
20:01 bythe way ! Love the bucees merch !!! 🦫
yea exactly my thoughts when i saw how well this knife held up and the damn thing is still just as sharp as when i started! haha im surprised you caught the bucees hat i didnt even realize it got into frame but yea i love some bucees thanks for watching brother!
I have the clone as well, but I was lucky I got the regular blade. Like you I hate serrated edge knives. I did a review of mine and I was amazed!! I actually have it strapped to EDC bag I carry in my truck. Good review.
Thank you brotha I appreciate that
I wouldn't depend on what they claim the steel to be - but they make some really decent knives. I got me a couple of folding knives they claim to be D2 - after sharpening them to my liking, I can say, they are pretty well hardened and perform very close to D2.
Yea they didn't even claim what steel it was just high hardness carbon steel is what it said but whatever it is I was beyond impressed with how well it held up! Thank you for coming by and watching and commenting brotha!
Hi ( Steinzor ) Hope you are well. I visited your UA-cam channel and your video-making is very good. Your content ideas are very good
Hey thank you so much
its better steel than bottom of the barrel 420HawtCrap , its 8cr13 which is a better blade steel in all aspects except toughness but you need edge retention to use toughness which at a rating of 2.5 420hawtcrap doesnt have.
thats awesome because im going to do a destruction test of one of these to see how much it takes for being so cheap
@@SteinzVsKnives Ive bought some really solid knives from Temu and only 0ne complete trashmaster as well , a double detent knive clone of a HOKC knife .
@@SteinzVsKnives funny thing HX outdoors is offering a d2 copy of the strongarm for 30% off on Amazon making it $22 , been eyeing that one myself.
When I forge my blades, this is one of the tests I put my blade through because if something I make if going to fail, it better fail on me rather than customer. Granted I use old tools and farm equipment for my steel and differentially heat treat them. I would not expect the first blade to break, I would expect that the steel is soft and would have dulled more quickly.
oh man you forge blades thats badass id love to test one of your blades on my channel
@@SteinzVsKnives Sure thing. I will see what I can come up with for you.
Thanks for a no BS demo. Ive been hesitant with Temu s knives. Guess ill bite the bullet hope for the best. But again thanks for building a little more confidence .
Hey no problem at all thank you for watching and I've got about 5 more temu knives I'm going to be testing so be looking out for those videos!
Not quite sure, how much was the temu knife? Lol. Good video
Lmao 🤣 thank you brotha
I have one in OD green that I got for free (I do reviews for AliExpress) and its one of my favorite knives! cant say enough good things about this blade
Oh cool brotha how did you get into doing that? I'm gonna be doing a destruction test video with this knife soon so be looking out for that
The #1 Most Hated Knife In The Western World Is The Gerber Bear Grylls Ultimate Knife !!
But I Got 2 Of The Ultimate Pro Knives That Are Full Tang & They Are Pretty Much "Bombproof"
The Steel Is 9CR19 & I Just Love Em !!
"Cheap" Knives Don't Necessarily Mean There Junk !!
Amen brotha! Thank you I completely agree
nice test!
Holy shit Joe thanks for coming by
This is the knife I'm doing the joe x special with
I have a clone also. One way to tell it's a clone is the snap on the sheath goes from left to right. A real one goes right to left.
thank you for letting me know! i cant believe how well this clone held up to all my abuse for being so cheap
Cant buy any knives off of temu in Europe, ill just stick to sencut i believe, was hoping to go deeper into the term budget so i can increase it for other stuff
Awe man that sucks but sencut has some amazing stuff have you ender checked out any eafengrow knives on amazon I can tell you from experience they are the best budget blades I've ever used gonna have some videos testing some pretty soon!
Just ordered one from Temu, shows no serrations, so will see when I get it
Awesome brotha but if it does come with them just ask for a refund and they will let you keep it too lol
Very nice! Hurry up and put out more videos now, would ya?! Haha!
Lol I know that's the hardest part but I'm gonna be doing another video tomorrow 😂
@@SteinzVsKnives Awesome!
I ordered mine from Aliexpress, the same color as yours, and not serated. I got mine, and it was as ordered.
The thing with these shady sites is that sometimes you're bound to draw the short straw. Better luck next time.
I know right not at least the knife performs way above what i thought it actually would
An actual full length test, maybe a couple of time saving edits needed, but it shows the whole process, and where you and the knife did well, and where not so well.
Might just order one on the strength of this... at the very least, you get a half decent sheath for any similar blade you have !
Thank you yea that was my first video and I had no idea what I was doing but I really appreciate you!
If I could buy it without having to give my personal information to Temu, I might consider it.
Yea that's what's keeping me from doing another order but I guess it doesn't matter now they already got all my info lol
@SteinzVsKnives lol, true. I'm sure you know this video looks like you're promoting Temu. Obviously, that's your right. I just keep hearing more and more things about how Temu is more interested in collecting your personal data than actually selling things. And, of course, it's all owned by the CCP. Kinda like having TikTok on your phone. Anyway, best of luck.
@@LordHolley yea that was def not my intention i actauuly thought the knives would fall apart while testing and it would be good content but i was wrong and gotta call it like it is but yea i dont promote temu at all
Have you got the link to the product please?
Yea it's in the description all the way at the bottom brotha
@SteinzVsKnives sucks, the items aren't available to us in Australia 😠
@damianparkin3682 awe man that's not fair sorry about that brotha but thank you for watching all the way from Australia that's awesome
I can't be the only one that was kinda waiting for him to hit the 4x4 a little shallow and lop of a couple fingers.
Don't worry there will be a video of how I cut my finger off accidentally before the end of the year 🤣
Its probably blasphemy but i think gerber knives are probably all cheap made in china units.
🤣 don't let the people who love gerber hear you say that
I wouldn't be surprised if they are the OEM for Gerber
Man from how it performed I wouldn't be either honestly
@@SteinzVsKnives Think I'll give one a try, thanks for the great review mate ✌🏼
I have bought a handful of knife "clones" from Temu and have not been disappointed yet. I've actually been carrying a Benchmade Bugout clone for a few weeks.
Yea I shocked at how well these are holding up for the price they are soon I'm going to do a destruction test to see how much it would take to break one!
@@SteinzVsKnives Subscribed so I don't miss it!
@@bluecreekroad awesome thank you brotha
Grab some tree stumps. Drive around and see if there homes choppin trees. Grab stumps and some log/branches. Its a game changer.
Man tell me about it I lost out on one of my neighbors getting a giant tree cut down by the time I got to go back by there all the wood was gone I was pissed lol u was wanting a big stump to do my chopping on but I'm gonna keep looking around and I've got to cut off some big limbs from my trees in the front yard and I'm gonna be using those in some other testing videos cause that hard wood I used was ridiculously strong
Hey man great vid we need a knife name or link !!!
Let me see if I can add the link to the description
Safety first, by the tip test hold you thumb on the back of the handle where the laneyard eye is.
That's probably a good idea thank you 😂
Love this channel, less the ripoff knife
@@SnoozerIIVMMXIV you're my hero 🤣
You can mill metals to the similar quality as manufacturers because it is from bar.
Try buying powdered steel (so called supersteels) from Temu. Most people cannot manufacture this at home.
Yea I'm gonna have to get some more temu knives here soon I've still got about 5 left to test though be looking out for the videos soon!
todays episode brought to you by temu👍
No they don't sponsor me 🤣
@@SteinzVsKnives just pullin ya leg
If he had a sponsor I'd more expect it to be Keystone light. Or maybe Southern Comfort. As this series goes on, we're liable to see targeted ads for those local Doc-in-a-Box med clinics. You just know at some point there's gonna be blood and an injury or three :) (Just yanking yer chain Steinz)
@cammobunker lmao Brotha you don't know how accurate that is I just died laughing from this thank you 😂 they gonna be calling me 3 finger Steinz soon
@whocanmakeyourwholeweek7272 lmao thanks brotha
thank you so much for showing me and all the others
Thank you for watching and subscribing as well brotha!
It can be 420hc being a very low end steel but good for corrosion resistants. But even aus8 is going to be superior.
That is very true
420HC kills AUS-8/8cr13MoV in toughness and is similar in edge retention and corrosion resistance.
Temu has AWESOME STUFF!
Yes they do
I bought three knives from Temu and threw them all away. The steel wasn’t D2 like they said and they were soft and refused to take an edge. Oh well, they were $10 bucks each so not a terrible loss.
Were they fixed blades or pocket knives?
@@SteinzVsKnives folders. They were knockoffs of CRKT but I don’t remember the model. They had 4” blades and very slinger.
How much did that knife cost? I didn't catch the price😂 Great video, I appreciate your time brother 😊❤
I slightly disagree, I don't know if the strong arm could stand up to that abuse. This is pretty incredible. I wish you had done a paper cut test. At that price just order another one. This is probably one of the best knives to put in a disaster kit because it can cut all kinds of material with those serrations. You got a really good deal. The Chinese have been making knives for thousands of years. They are the world's largest shipbuilders so obviously they know how to make high quality Steel. The problem is that greedy business people go to China and buy the cheap stuff and then they try to sell it back here in America to make profit. I have a 25-year-old Chinese Kitchen butcher knife that is still razor sharp today and it has only been maintained and kept Sharp on a honing Steel that I bought the same day. The thing is I bought it in a Chinese butcher shop where they sell mostly to Chinese people and that's where you get the good stuff. You finally sold me, I'm going to Temu to check it out. I've heard so much about this website.
Thank you so much and I think I agree with you I don't think the actual strongarm could hold up as well as this clone did! Also check out my second video I did a little more testing with the same knife I appreciate you watching and hope to see you back I've got many more videos coming soon
Got the black version. 1095.
Hell yea this thing is a tank
So to continue. Is that knife sold by Temu cheap? Yes. Is that very same knife's quality sold by Temu good? Yes. In fact, I'd say very good. Knife's point didn't bend nor break and edge didn't fold which translates to the knife's excellent toughness and edge retention.
thank you so much i actually couldnt believe how well this knife held up for the price im going to do a destruction video soon on it to see what it would take to actually damage the knife
The Gerber and this knife were mostly likely made on the same equipment they just left off the branding
Yea it really feels that way brotha not gonna lie I wasn't expecting much from it but I beat the hell out of it and it wanted more lol
I just got the non serrated for $12.50 shipped.
you lucked out brotha i was supposed to get the non serrated one too but they sent me this one but its an amazing knife
Look ima be real I get the whole point of not wanting to spend a whole lot on a knife but you really have to look at it from this perspective, 1. How long will the knife keep an edge? 2. How easy will the blade be to sharpen and actually take an edge? And 3. Yeah if it breaks it’s cheap but if you keep replacing the knife and eventually you’ll end up spending nearly the same for a name brand knife, if you want a decent knife Ontario makes decent knives the Ontario SP10 Marine Raider Bowie is a good option for chopping and general outdoors task, it uses 1075 Carbon Steel or if you wanted something smaller the Ontario Rat 7 is an amazing knife as well if you’re able to find it in stock hell they may have a newer variant but even the strong arm from gerber is honestly worth the price as you’re also paying for the warranty plus I think cloning/fakes is ripping off not only the unknowing buyer who may have a son or even a daughter who wanted a gerber strong arm and the parents don’t know much so they see this knife and sees it looks just like the name brand is could possibly be thinking it’s the same knife when it’s really not, like my grandfather years ago called me on his way home from work asking me if peavy was a good brand and I said yes he wanted to know because he got the idea to stop at the guitar shop and picked me up a peavy vyper 30 which is a 30w modeling amp, the point I’m making if parents or grandparents dont know much about knives they’ll only see the similarities like design and assume the quality is the same, in the case of gerber yes you’re paying a decent price but you’re also paying for the guarantee of some sort of warranty, temu you have no warranty and a lot of of items sold are typically drop shippers and you have no warranty or even a money back guarantee, you even stated in the video they had sent you the wrong one and I should make this clear just because it looks the same as a strong arm doesn’t mean it will use 420HC!
@CajunReaper95 oh I completely agree with you brotha I was just trying to see exactly how good a 15$ knife from temu could be I actually thought the damn thing was going to fall apart within the first use lol but I've been testing some work tuff gear knives in my newer videos check some of those out!
A one side serration is the worst.
And like you I hate all of them.
Ain't that the truth i don't mind a fully serrated blade but don't take away half my blade and put serrations
Keep reviewing bargains.
Subbed
Thank you brotha
Is this knife full tang?
@Dustiniscool43 yea it is I'm going to be doing a torture test video of this knife soon to see how much it can take before it fails I'm already impressed with how it held up for being so cheap
Send it to joe x
I wish I could that would be awesome but I'm gonna make a destruction video with this knife and a few more I got from temu soon to see how much abuse these cheap knives can take
what can you do about it when they sent you the wrong knife tell them get your money back i do and i get my money back
Yea that's exactly what I did and they gave me my money back love temu lol
I have many chinese items made of steel, I have complete confidence they make top notch things in aliexpress, just dont go for the extra cheap stuff, in the 30 to 100 dollars you can find all kinds of gems, I love my San Martin watches for example, the best steel you can find no contest
Remember sometimes you're paying for the brand name not because it's good it's just because the brand name.
I believe that look at spyderco and Benchmade
That too but chinese can make things very cheap when they are stealing design
@simonlee2769 yea that's also true and the materials they have access to are way cheaper than US
Use a baton on the knife to help process through the wood
Thank you so much yea I need to make a good Baton
wasnt actual gerber knives mass produced in china? might be the same manufacturer selling them asproduction overrun / surplus..
Yea I think so but I'm not sure either that or they have just became that good at cloning they are making a better product
nah.. it will surely break somewhere at the time you least expect..🤔🙄 i never trusted china's mass production..😆 i prefer buying locally made knives from forged recycled leafsprings they can always be trusted.. can be customized too..
😉👌
I have 7 of them. 2blk, 2 tan, 2 green, 1 faded yellow. Plus 4 Prodigy fakes 3 gray tanto blade and a blk one. I will modify a couple of them. Ounce for ounce, dollar for dollar the best knives. $10.40 to $15.
Thank you I can't believe how great these things hold up what kind of steel do you think they are made out of cause it has to be 420hc or d2 for them to be this sturdy I've also got the prodigy tanto that's the knife I'm testing in the next video!
Can you post link??
I put it in the description check the very bottom brotha!
@@SteinzVsKnives yessirrre.
Thanks.
original strongarm is also cheap blade I think these two could be identical :D just gerber asking extra money
I wouldn't doubt it!
Your nickname is Lighting.....haven't seen you hit the same place twice😂😂😂
Lmao that's actually funny as hell 🤣
Theirs a bunch of nice knives for super cheap on temu let see Benchmade bushcrafter is 30 bucks on there it's like 270-400 bucks lot of Benchmade knives and coldsteel if you know what ur looking for has great deals were getting ripped off for the made in USA mindset
You ain't lying brotha I got a cold steel and a kabar that I'm convinced are not clones they are the real thing maybe just seconds but we are for sure getting screwed in the knife prices here
@@SteinzVsKnives I got the cold steel 4max in stainless cost was 300 bucks seen a clone of the cheaper black handle one for 22 bucks on temu yup we're getting screwed lmao
@turdnugget123 Jesus man it's egregious at this point but people will continue to pay for the ridiculous prices so more power to them I guess lol
Kinda funny you said you had the cords to hold it but still held it hahaha
Lmao I knew someone was gonna call me out for that my wife said the same damn thing haha
I test and review lots of budget and foreign knives on my channel also, as well as some premium stuff too. Good job. I've given you a follow.
thank you brotha i just subscribed as well!
@@SteinzVsKnives top man
Should have tested them side by side with the original
Man if I had the real one I definitely would I'm trying to get me one now to do a vs video
try the cold steel bushman
I will for sure thank you!
Well it s probably a gerber strongarm in everything except name cause it probably come from the same chinese factories
Yea it definitely performs the same as one!
I have gotten several good knives from Temu.
1:18 - well, on TEMU, more often than not, you can receive a full refund AND keep the item...
Yea that's what I did I was surprised they just give you a full refund no questions asked temu is some what a gold mine for knives if you get the right ones
@@SteinzVsKnives Absolutely. Got me a handfull already :)
As 1 cheap ass to another...I'd say you got your $15 worth. But, have you tested the Gerber for sake of direct comparison?
oh for sure lol im working on getting one to do a vs video with both of them hopefully soon!
@@SteinzVsKnives My first time here...wasn't sure what you had previously tested. Best of luck to you!
@4ager505 thank you for coming by hope to see you on more of my videos soon!
Please learn how to use a lanyard.
Lmao I did finally 😂
Wait till you see the clone LMF 2 and Prodigy
funny you say that i got both of those they are the ones im testing in the next 2 videos i cant believe how well they are made for being so damn cheap!
@@SteinzVsKnives indeed
Great review and good product ignore the whiners that hate change.
Thank you I really appreciate that I've got many more coming!
If they sent you the wrong knife, just make a photo and tell them - they will send you the right one and you won't have to send back the wrong one, then it's only 7.50$ each ;-)
They were out after I got it but they did refund me so I can't complain about a free knife that holds up as well as this thing does lol thank you brotha!
I don't know if I can bring myself to buy anything from Temu. They keep telling me to shop like a billionaire, but they won't send me a billion dollars. Lol. I have the same cheap table from Harbor Freight.
lol yea i was really doubting anything i got from them would hold up at all but so far these 2 are great especially for how cheap they are and yes i gotta find someone getting a tree cut down so i can get me a big ass tree stump to do my chopping on im gonna snap this harbor freight table lol
Those Harbor Freight tables are tough! I have a bunch of Harbor Freight stuff in my garage.
@@SteinzVsKnives
They have good knives there. All that crap comes from China. Kershaw, Boker, they’re all made in China. The name brand knives come from a local warehouse btw.
That doesn't surprise me at all really lol thank you for watching and letting me know
I brought a clone OKC-3s bayonet and it's very sharp and very strong i got say the Chinese are getting good make clones
I bought a fake Morakniv at tractor supply for 10 dollars and came with ferro rod as well stealing steel I'm surprised it's still sharp I abuse it cutting wood, cardboard,
Oh wow I didn't know they had something like that I'm gonna have to check that out thank you brotha!
The steel is A440
Thanks
Do more videos bro !
Thank you brotha working on a few videos today hopefully be out later tonight
Co vid. Keep them coming
Thank you so much I've got plenty more coming up!
