$10 Wal-Mart Knife Torture Test

- In this video I torture test a $10 knife I picked up at the local Wal-Mart. Made by Camillus, this knife seemed too good to be true. Could it be that is it?

$10 dollar blade...$200 tire 🤣🤣 nice review 👌 thank you for sharing brother 🇺🇸
I thought the same thing
I feel you should also see about sharpenability. A knife that is hard to resharpen in the field is no good once the edge is gone. And edge strength. Does it chip or roll. Stab it into the ground twenty or thirty times. See what the edge looks like after.
When I saw you shaving magnesium with the cutting edge instead of the spine edge, I suddenly said to myself "Holy Frkn CRAP ! WTF is he doing ? WHY ??! " I have to point it out and say it's an EPIC BIZZARO FAIL on your part, like cutting meat with a hammer. "NO SOUP FOR YOU !!"
Kudos to Eli.
GOD Bless the U.S.A. AIRBORNE !
OK Soup Nazi, haha haha, luv that from Seinfeld show my favorite episode. But Elaine won so No Soup For You !!! Hahaha. Peace.
What? It's a torture test not a do things the right way test.....
Amen. I’m literally TRYING to break the knife 😂
disagree would put my life on this knife after what you put in threw and i do own one, now would you put a 200 knife threw all these test including throwing it at a tree till it breaks, keep it sharp and use it as a knife
I have a $35 Cold Steel brand G.I. Tanto in 1055 carbon steel, it has zero looks and gets mocked, but it's almost indestructible. I've seen Esee and other $200+ knives snap like glass, when my $35 knife can be thrown at a tree all day long. It's all about knowing what steel to buy, I'd rather have a reliable knife that's ugly than a big name that can't handle the backwoods. I also have the knife in the video, but haven't run it through survival school on the riverhead.
I just bought one about a month ago, love this video. Now I know more about it thanks. Please keep sharing .
That was quite a torture test.
Indeed! Thanks for watching :)
I waited too long to get this $10 knife for less than $12 but I give it a 7 of 10 stars. Super value, neat knife comfortable & light weight! Those crazy holes in the handle (thanks for showing that) would take a star off my rating, Definitely requires a backup to be carried, kinda negating the light weight feature . I do a back-up carry anyway. So good post, convincing me it's a good edge for me & my limited need for a camp knife. To my use it's a bigger cheaper Mora alternative, but I'll likely have a Mora or better somewhere in my pack anyway. Thanks!
Clearance now for $9 and Morakniv Companion for $16.41. Make sure you get the one under clearance (sold & shipped by Walmart). Like Am a zon seems there are some fakes out there.
Looks like a good beater knife especially for the price! The knife held up well for what you put it through. I think it would last most people a lifetime under normal use. (Skinning, light batoning, cutting rope, opening packages etc.) I have found aftermarket leather sheaths for my knives on Amazon but, they will be more than double the price of this knife. Nice destructive testing video!
Excellent test vid! I bought this knife on a whim before seeing this vid and I was also fairly impressed with it. I would love to see you do one of these tests on the Cold Steel Bushman!!
Hey! Thanks for watching and offering your feedback. That means a lot! I will definitely consider making the video as you requested. Where might one buy such a knife?
They have them on Amazon. They advertise them as virtually unbreakable and only cost about $20
Good video. Knife was surprisingly durable for the price.
😊thanks, I have a few of these knives with slight variations. Not bad for the money. I don’t beat my knives, but I am glade you did the beating. 😊 Now I have a better look at this knife😊take care.
All in the name of science. Glad I could help!
Mora 511 reg gray color is 9.99 on Amazon. Honestly, it is good enough to be my main knife for my skill level and activities. My collection of overly expensive Bradford, Barkriver, Esee, Coldsteel, BK, and Spyderco knives with better matterials are for my viewing pleasure only. Being an average guy doing average things, I seriously doubt mora 511 or my main knife will be the deciding factor for my survability in any situation concerning my skill level and surroundings. So, I keep some knid of mora knife everywhere.
Thanks, man excellent review. I just got the camillus ergon for 10 dollars at ross they say its worth 18. I will use this review as my baseling for it instead of trusting that it is any better.
I like seeing these kinds of tests, really showing off the maximum limitations of a given knife. I'm often curious about how much abuse a knife can handle, beyond this steel that steel or rc hardness yata yata it's all tomata to me.
Be sure to subscribe for more!
I would love to see a torture test on the Cold Steel True Flight. They can be on sale for about $20 or retail up to about $38 and come with a large sheath that I use as a drop sheath and tape back the single snap strap. Thanks.
Love the ergonomic
Great knife
great video
Great comment!
Scraping magnesium with the edge. Poor edge. Lol. Tough little knife for 10$. You really can't go wrong. I have the carnivore x which was $24.97 at Walmart. Been beating on that thing without mercy for about 7 years. Still in one piece. Sometimes you can get some descent stuff for a few bucks. I'm happy with the value of my camillus knives.
I'd be willing to bet that the two holes at the head end of the handle are there so that the plastic/rubber injected to make the handle goes through them -- to keep the handle from working away from the point-end of the knife. This is a relatively thin, hollow-ground blade -- a cutter/slicer, not a chopper/splitter. Still a ton of knife for $10 -- I have 3 in various places and use them often.
glad you cut the handle off to show us. This version has a lot more metal in the handle than the previous version.
Interesting, good to know. I appreciate you watching!
I was most interested in the tang design compared to the previous tan colored model. Your video shows at 16:42 that there is less skeletonizing beneath the handle 👍. Unfortunately those two holes at the finger guard are the new weakness of this blade 👎. Still good for food prep and very light batoning. Thanks for that - you make good video. BTW - my same blade measures 0.1115" (2.83mm) thick.
Thanks for watching!
looks like a knife to use when you don't want to screw up your 230 dollar save your life knife. I was trying to think of a circumstance that cause me to abuse a knife the way you did. If I was going to rely on something to save my life I would treat it well.
It's a good knife, the skeletonized holes aren't so bad for the tang, but the two smaller ones up front in the tang definitely weaken it a bit, not sure if they need those there. They should probably get rid of all the holes, drill 2 and inject a plastic handle on it with a rubberized middle, kind of like the cheaper moras, and it'd be a god-tier blade, I'd pay double for one made that way
It is considered full tang even though it’s slightly skeletonized. However sharp angles can cause stress risers. Making it possibly a weak point.
hey guy how you doing I just bought this knife let me tell you this is the best cheap knife I ever bought you right don't you know for say save your life or anything else but for everyday use this is the best knife cheap knife I ever had thank you thumbs up
Love the look and fell
Of this blade .yes I have two . IWood love to see this in A 1095 .
Forged in Fire producers watched this torture test like: WTF
😂
I have this knife seems nice haven't done anything to serious with it the grip feels great
My neighbor Lucky was walking down the road one day, and some guy was dragging a knife at 60 mph behind his truck.
Well needless to say the knife took a bounce, flew up into the air, and stuck in my neighbor's chest.
RIP Lucky I miss you buddy 😔🙏.
They gave me total silence when I tried to claim a warranty on one of their folders, aluminum scratched the “titanium” coating with a gentle touch.
I have 2 fir the last 2 years and it's great
Youd have to be crazy to survive on one knife, this is perfect as a belt companion knife, its thin and hollowground so think food prep, skinning, lighy wood work, if you clearing brush get a machete, splitting kindling get a campaxe or heavy chopper, i dont undertand knife bros wanting to do everything with one tool. Regardless This knife is an amazing value, id buy it over a $10 mora, the saber/hollow grind is just more versatile than a short scandi. On a hike i normally carry a folding saw and fallkniven f1, this knife at 1/10 of the price does all the same tasks, the edge retention isnt great but neither is the vg10 on the fallkniven. Its worthy of a leather sheath thats for sure or kydex
Good points :) I should have had you in the video 😂
I own that knife and have had all the same problems you had 2 broke in half one at the tip but for the price I was in. After my last one broke I bought the Esee 6 and will never buy anything else but esee.
give to this guy let him do the same exact test including throwing it at a tree 4 times lets see if it breaks
7:48 LMFAO WTFFF
I have this knife an it’s earlier model from Wally World. It’s all black. The black stays in my bag an has a backup for it. The one in the video I use as mainly a kitchen knife. For the price they was a great deal.
For $10 It's cool. It won't win any wars but good for hikes and budget bugout beginners.
My son also picked up 1 of those and I thought the same thing. A good leather or even heavy duty nylon or of course kydex Sheath would be nice with it
Right on!
Tip test?? Thanks for making the video.
Those two holes at the front of the tang pretty much guaranteed the breakage. Why did they do that? Probably for the handle to mold to.
I know, it be dumb.
Its a full tang. Holes are for reducing weight. Good video. ✝️🇺🇸✝️
I love the Camillus titanium knife it hasn't disappeared yet can't wait to skin a deer this year I keep it sharp and on my belt 24/7 better safe than sorry
Riding in a walmart cart is way more bumpy than that road
True!
It doesn't even stand up to hammering it into a log, and throwing the log at the tree like a Neanderthal 12x. How am I supposed to open popsicle wrappers and amazon boxes with this piece of junk?
Not sure.. what is the world coming to??
$10 knife for 10,000 views so far hmmm 🤔 that's only $0.001 investment per view for this video👍 total win ✊.
The usmc k-bar through. Such a good knife . But will snap at the handle in time . I have had mine for 10 years and will still chop and stab through pork rib .
test #2 would never do with a knife
Did you drag your hat behind your car, too?
💚🖤💚
Sorry to say but these are not normal uses for a knife. I can see batoning to split some wood but beating it that bad. I tried this knife and it works fine under normal use. The spine is good enough to shave wood and scrape a ferro rod and sharp enough to prepare food. The only thing that could use some improvement would be the crappy sheath.
I had a camilius machete once and the blade snapped on that when I hit it against a river rock while chopping thru a log.
Dang
rocks tend to make steel shatter....
@@escapetherace1943 they shouldn’t, not if tempered correctly
@@redneckoperations well yes, they shouldn't. The steel was probably too hard. Doesn't change the fact you shouldn't try and send it into a rock though, that was the point I was trying to get across.
@@escapetherace1943 haha no no you never should try smashing your blade on a rock
I bought 10 of these they will last a long time
I am going to buy a few like you suggested and put them in different bags and such.
By my surprise its not a bad knife. I have one in my tacklbox i done e wrything from cutting bait to maken a bow n drill
I can say for sure there worth every cent. It sharpens up nice and fits like a glove in my hands. Would i trust it to save me in a wilderness survial situation ? Yes. Would i trust it in a war and shtf ? Hell no haha
The manufacturer shouldn’t have drilled those two holes in the handle right below the blade. It would’ve been much stronger
Not bad for the price tomorrow morning made in America anymore
Oh dude when you used the sharp side of the blade to do a fire starting test told me I can’t subscribe. I’m sorry but total rookie you don’t do that with any knife
Literally none of this is stuff you'd do to a knife. What part of "torture test" don't you understand?
00:52 that technique is just rough its a fruit not even a target to power through sheesh
Great video! I've had two of these for a while now. I was curios what it looked like under the handle. Why did they put those holes there? I like this knife good enough for knife tasks that don't include much battoning. I wouldn't choose it for actual survival though.
To overmold a handle you need something for the rubber to hold onto without sliding off and getting the company sued. The Maxpedition fixed blade knives do it the best, with just "key like" edges underneath instead of holes, but that is what they were trying to do.
I don’t know why people trash China 🇨🇳…..here’s a group of people, whose only mission in life, is to make cheap affordable crap to make our lives happier and more enjoyable.. just think about it…whatever it is you are into, there’s people working their asses off, day and night, to get that item to you . WHAT ELSE DO WE WANT! Go China go!
Ease of sharpening ??
very, I own one
OK for $10.
"BATTENING" says it all!
I'm confused,who else?
He’s watched too many British bushcraft videos. That’s how they pronounce batoning. I’ve seen other Americans pronounce it that way too. Not the sharpest knives in the drawer.
Awkward moment when you realize this UA-cam guy reads every comment.
I don’t think I’ve watched any British survival videos. I think that is how my dad pronounced it. I think it odd that you measure a person’s intelligence and ability based on their method of pronouncing “batoning”.
@@oursimplestorychannel Yes I'm odd.
In my opinion you should decide if you want to do serious Test vids, or destruction vids.
Return it
throw junk out, don't pay any price to import junk into your home.
Why would anyone name their son after an arc?
Was my son named after an arc? Do you mean an ark? Like from the Bible? I don’t understand. As far as I know, the ark in the Bible didn’t have a name.
@@oursimplestorychannel I stand corrected. It's spelled "ark".
What is your point? Over abusing a knife is just kinda stupid from the get go.
Science
does anyone on here drag there knife down the road run over it drive it in like a nail and then throw it at a tree till it breaks
Hey man!
If i could give you any advice i would say make shorter more to the point video.
Regardless of the subject check most popular channels and learn from it.
Thanks! We are certainly up for advice and yours was dually noted.
Hiii
Hey!
camillus is real JUNK for the price u can get way better quality for the same price its just a money grab and a gimmick its sad bcause they have really cool designs its 20 bucks now for 10 it would have been decent
Made in China,that would be a good knife
I would put this in the same category as a Mora knife, good basic knife, good for camp kitchen prep or in your get home bag, even animal skinning wouldn’t be bad, keep a sharpener handy and watch the gut sack.. $10 to $12 isn’t bad deal. Good job
This was dangerious!Dislike from me.Stay safe.
Thank you for caring for my safety so much.
what were u thinking? torture is 1 thing but as they say there is no fix for stupid!ps making a sheath is not rocket science and time much better spent AND a skill u could teach ur child.
