I enjoy your videos and your style of delivery. Yes, ive bought a few clones & have had the same bashing about "Chinese Junk", but also see the same people post about their RoughRider, Kershaw or Spyderco Chinese made knifes, but its a different story when you call them out about their "Buy American" rant. Have many American made knifes and would buy 100% American, but can't see paying $175-$200+ for a Bugout & some other high end knifes, theirs no way can't make these more reasonable priced.
Thanks for watching and for the kind words. I agree with you, the only problem that I see with clones, is that a very dishonest person could make alot of money to an unknowing, uneducated buyer. So yeah I buy them for fun and try to educate. Stay tuned man!
Truth told, I don’t buy clones to try to “perpetuate” but for the designs, and to be able to beat them up from EDC without thrashing a high dollar blades. (I think that’s the lions share of us clone boys) As I make knives in my old age, I’m actually going to get around to making a real high quality blade for one of these clones, as seems most often, the blade steel and/or heat treatment is the weak point on a lot of these clones. I’m of the opinion if someone is gonna lay out large cheese for a knife or a guitar (I make those too) it’s incumbent on them to do their due diligence and KNOW what they are getting. With every piece of knowledge right at our fingertips, there’s very little excuse for ignorance. 👍🏻
Bro please do more vids! I’ve literally said the same exact thing about the made in USA debate! I prefer made in USA but quality is quality regardless! You seem like a stand up guy, no corny UA-cam character! Much rather watch you than all the other knife goobers!
@@levvy001miscreant 3.0 , we elementum , beacon all of them are solid blades . I got an Italian Antonini that is a dam beast and cost me 12 bucks . I love American made but it's not the only made .
Wish and Dhgate for the clone if you're willing to wait a little longer and not pay shipping. The real benchmade shootout I got a deal from a certified dealer and bought 3. But $300 to your door isn't unheard of... Thanks for watching! Link in Description. Remember the price shown isn't always it, put in cart then you'll see the options.
@@levvy001 maybe do some classic Benchmade 42 review and the best clones. Paodin888 titanium clones/the one etc idk man just ideas don’t listen to me lol I’m an idiot but just throwing out ideas
Hey man been watching your videos since I have bought 4 legit Microtechs and some fakes from wish. Every package from wish the postman charges me like 6 extra dollars to get the item has this happened to you??
Wow! No way man. I'd report that guy. Unless he has documentation saying it's legit. But I don't see how. Tell your post master if you're in the states.
That's what I'm saying Olaf, good point. Maybe they shouldn't steal our tech.. sure. But the only real problems I have with the clones on an actual knife level, is the blade steel and sometimes perhaps the grind lines. Otherwise they seem pretty decent. Thanks for the comment.

@@solomonkane408 sounds killer! Yeah there are a lot of good artisans around the world.
I'm with you man... I find if I really like a Chinese knock off, I'm more likely to buy the real thing.
Yeah, I mean it's not like you can go and just test drive a microtech.. lol
And also... it's totally worth it.
There’s always a bunch of clowning about those ever present pouches,
But I find they make great pistol magazine pouches, light, multi tool, ect.
They do make neat little pouches for lots of things... pistol magazine is a good idea thanks!!
Love the shirt bro!
Thanks guy🤘🤘
I like your outlook on the subject bro. Keep up these rad reviews. Also I need to get one of those shootouts. Looks like a rad knife 🤙🏼
It is a rad knife indeed, highly recommend. Carrying it today matter of fact.
Great video. What website? I can never find them that cheap?

Love the content man. Have you ever considered reviewing any Balisongs?
I own one that I've been meaning to talk about. We'll see. There are a few I'd like to get my hands on for sure. I have expensive taste... lol

I love the Chinese this hate has to stop
well, WE is a Chinese company.
ask the China haters to find ONE bad Sanrenmu or SRM knife. or Sitivien. or Trivisa. or Shooziz.
