No dude it's the best knife and custom makers cannot, keep up with a flowing Damascus pattern and that can reaches all the way to the edge of the blade for microscopic cutting precision where other knives have gone dull. This knife is meant to destroy custom knife makers. Not their knives, the _makers._ Duh. I've personally destroyed about four custom knife makers with this exact knife.
If you use this too often with your friends they will start thinking that this is just another way of saying "I am playing 5 vs willy, I am polishing the crown jewels"
I believe I figured it out. It did say "forged" which can have two meanings. Forged also means counter fit, so they are actually telling the truth. They probably figure that if they can get enough people to purchase their knives to do test videos on UA-cam, they make a good profit. Love your humor. A well-made video. God bless.

@@bigwu100 more like buying a $1000 car and it is advertised as "runs well" but you get it and once you get the car and it has lawn chair instead of seats and a 5HP lawnmower engine under the hood. A knife that can't be sharpened and can't cut isn't going to be much use either.
@@bigwu100 you are kidding right? I have purchased Pakistani knives before that far exceed the shit this $25 knife can achieve. For $25 you can buy any number of Chinese, Japanese, Taiwan made knives that would totally outperform it. "Hours spent making it"... sorry, but no. They likely pumped hundreds, if not thousands of these out in just an hours time. They likely spent more time making the sheath than the actual knife.
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.
@derp derpin you say that as if people can just say “Hey! Stop making children make products” or as if they can just easily buy products not made by children even though 90% things people need to buy are made in China
Pattern welded steel is pattern welded steel. Damascus is a steel of unusually high purity where during the cooling process the carbides separate creating bands in a distinctive pattern in the blade. Just for clarification.
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.

@@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.

*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?
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! 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 really enjoyed this video and see the changes and improvements you've made over time. I like the direction you're going with integrating humor along with your core content. For some reason this made me think of the episode of The Goldbergs where Cabbage Patch Kids were all the rage and the mom bought some real bad knockoff version from a car trunk behind the store. This knife wasn't even mall ninja quality! At least those crappy knives at least "appear" decent.
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.
Hilarious video. Too much fun! I watched this 10 months ago and it is back in my suggested videos. Had to watch it again. One of the top ten videos of all time
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.
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 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!
Entertaining as hell. I laughed my azz off. I think we have all bought that cheap knife hoping we got a gem, only to break chip or lose it and we were better off for it. Good stuff, your twin is a weird-o. I like him.
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
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 UA-cam Reviews Hall of Fame immediately. There is one, isn't there? Subscribed!
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?
Don't know how I haven't found you till now? UA-cam hides some of the best stuff. Meaning they hid you from me finding you. Someone that watches blade videos. So you got a new sub. Great video. That knife. You can't just make that up. The inside was like sand. I know that wouldn't even pass as a butter knife. That could shatter if hit wrong. Love 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.
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
"Hello, my friend, you like knifes?. I sell you best quality handmade Damascus knife!. Very beautiful, much hard!. Stay sharp long time!. Made from best quality car bumpers and tree bark!". You should buy another one and see if its possible to re-heat treat lol

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
Aye. Love those Moras. Even the basic Companion comes out sharp as hell.
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
They just hammered a big bunch of soda cans together 🤣
So it's an aluminum knife?
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.
I really love watching this episode. I always laugh every time I watch it very well-made.!!!!😂😂😂
Loved it. You’re editing and comedic value made this review. Excellent watch, thanks.
I'm from Wisconsin originally. Now you know what it's like trying to sharpen cheese.
OH AYE, YOU'S WANT TAE GET A SWISS CHEESE BLADE, CHEDDAR IS WAY TAE SOFT BOABBY ! ! !
On Wisconsin!! Me too!
Cheddar is already "sharp"....
@@tomcatt998 Maybe, but nothing holds an edge like Limburger.
That Japanese guy made a knife out of milk so anything is possible.
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.
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.
Watch that knife be made with some shit alloy with a small amount of thorium in it; dumping out low grade ionizing radiation and slowing corrupting all magnetic storage within its grasp
I was starting to think it had some radiation, which would explain the corrupted memory cards.
I watched some vids on that and it's shockingly hard to corrupt sd cards even the cheapest of cheap, basically can't do it externally

My son just sent me a picture of his lego treehouse with the caption, "Is this even wood?"
"Stand back, I've got Damascus" lol
Tim Barry I laughed out loud so hard... this is perhaps some of the best UA-cam I have seen in a very long time.
Stand back I have- well I have no idea what this is made out of
Thank you for making this video. I watch your stuff all the time and I have learned a lot from you...but this is my absolute favorite video. I am laughing so hard right now!!!
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?
@@JunkMailBoxStuff XD
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, 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.
Good stuff. Literally laughed out loud so many times my wife asked ne what i was watching... i told her a damascus video LOL😊
Somehow I get the impression that you're not recommending me to get this knife 🤔
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.
Well at 25 bucks it was a “steel” alright!
Seriously funny video. I laughed so much I had tears coming out of my eyes.
i also buy a knife like that and i love it so beautiful Knife and sheath $24.99, gas price are sky rocket what you expect for 24.99
You sir win the knife internet for 2019!
I really enjoyed this video and see the changes and improvements you've made over time. I like the direction you're going with integrating humor along with your core content.
For some reason this made me think of the episode of The Goldbergs where Cabbage Patch Kids were all the rage and the mom bought some real bad knockoff version from a car trunk behind the store.
This knife wasn't even mall ninja quality! At least those crappy knives at least "appear" decent.
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.
Hilarious video. Too much fun! I watched this 10 months ago and it is back in my suggested videos. Had to watch it again. One of the top ten videos of all time
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.
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 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!
I literally laughed till I cried watching this. Great info!! 👍👍👍👍
Entertaining as hell. I laughed my azz off. I think we have all bought that cheap knife hoping we got a gem, only to break chip or lose it and we were better off for it.
Good stuff, your twin is a weird-o.
I like him.
Dude kicks a tree, “Is this even wood?”
"You know what?... What are YOU doing?" That one really got me LMAO! Excellent video, man.
Most hilarious video I've seen in a long time. 100% my type of humor. Keep goin dude
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!
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 UA-cam Reviews Hall of Fame immediately.
There is one, isn't there?
Subscribed!
I'm a metallurgical engineer and my eyes started bleeding when I saw the fracture surface 18:00
So you're saying you wish you went into medicine instead?
@@yugen I'm not sure how we ended up in medicine
It's pathetic
It looks like shale rock or something lol
Everyone considering buying a Damascus knife from that pace should watch this, great work.
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?
Don't know how I haven't found you till now? UA-cam hides some of the best stuff. Meaning they hid you from me finding you. Someone that watches blade videos. So you got a new sub. Great video. That knife. You can't just make that up. The inside was like sand. I know that wouldn't even pass as a butter knife. That could shatter if hit wrong. Love the video.
Thanks for stopping by really appreciate it 👍
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?...
Great review of this awesome high-tech techie layered, flowing layered knife blade.
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 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've never seen your face before, you literally were part of youtube's random algorithm but shit's hilarious, I'm subbing.
Lol ! This shit wuz so funny I had to subscribe !! 🤣😂😎
This is one of the funniest knife vids I've ever seen. New subscriber. Looking forward to more.
Omg I doubled over laughing to tears at the is this even wood and kicking the tree hahahahha
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.
I loved this video. One of the funniest of his videos. I like his sense of humor!
I was wondering what they did with my old toaster.
I think this is the best cheap knife vid i ever saw, had me dying a few times
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
This video was hilarious. I especially enjoyed the shenanigans of your double 😊😊🎉
I genuinely laughed my self silly at this video. Cracking work.
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
"Hello, my friend, you like knifes?. I sell you best quality handmade Damascus knife!. Very beautiful, much hard!. Stay sharp long time!. Made from best quality car bumpers and tree bark!". You should buy another one and see if its possible to re-heat treat lol
They probably didn't heat treat it, because it would have fell apart, and wasn't heat treatable I'm guessing
For extra 10 rupees, I love you long time! LOL
Yeah right! Heat treating it would have melted it! Wheel weights and sardine cans!
Heat treats and the layers divide
i would def like to see another get heat treated .
