@@MelissaBackwoods Test out some Microtech blades please, I wanna see if their worth the price that they are, but if one can't be donated then we'll I guess nevermind then, I'll just have to find out later on, alright Miller have a good day.
Finally something affordable. Nice testing basically what you might actually do with it. Every day carry. I do use the pouch to carry. But sometimes take the pocket clip off and pocket carry. But the pouch is there so I remember to put it back. Most of the time.
Just wanted to add that trying to drive the knife through the 2x4 across the grain makes it more difficult, of course . Thank you for the video, Melissa Backwoods❤
Exactly. That’s the first thing I saw. It’s a soft 2x4. If she went with the grain it would have gone through in two hits. But that she went against the grain and the knife survived, is impressive.
Your editing is great! A 10-minute video that keeps my peanut running without getting distracted. Your enthusiasm, knowledge, engagement is captivating.
Wow thank you for that! I was really really proud of this video, it took a long time to make an edit but I am happy with it turned out and I appreciate those words
My last 5 purchases have come from your recommendations... The swivel Kydex sheath, i didn't even know was a thing until you showed me. I ordered two of the QSP fixed blade Canarys, 1 of the Kansept Niko, and I just ordered 2 of these Schrades, 1 of each color. Just wanted to say that I find your work valuable, and actual purchases are happening as a result of your hard work! That hammer test on the OTF ... I was like yup gotta order one ! that was genius !
I definitely do with my otf on occasion lol. They're just so fidgety. Even just pushing the action forward without deploying it makes a satisfying sound like clicking a pen.
HOW am I just now finding this channel?! So...pointy/bladed instruments on display by, & rundown given by smart, funny, really pretty girl. Sign me up-subbed. Seriously, its obvious you've got genuine passion for the topic of blades, & in my book, that's awesome. I defer to your superior knowledge of the topic, & I'm gonna stick around a bit & learn. Thank you.
As a person with disabilities ive been looking for a good otf due to arthritis problems. I have gotten a civivi mini i believe number 4 on you civivi knofe video. Its a great fidget knife. I have only been able to find otf Benchmade so im glad to see i have another option
Especially when there are microtech clones out there for under $80 that perform exactly the same as the $500 counterpart... And @eatmoreporkyporky, Yes! Cobratec blades are fantastic!
@@Pibblesncatsnreptilesngats72 ya, sometimes that is the case. I own two Chinese Microtech clones and they are nowhere near the build quality of the real ones. Sometimes the Chinese get it right though an you get a really nice clone. Both of my have the weaker Chinesium springs.
Oh my , you put that knife through a real torture test , looks to me it held up pretty darn well ! I was a bit concerned when you drove it through a 2X4 , I thought here is where it breaks but it didn’t just right on working ! For the price range that’s impressive durability!
The fact that you went sideways in the 2x4 with the blade against the grain instead of with it was very brave & most impressive no fear!🎖a most excellent knife indeed & affordable price for a broke young Jedi! well done🙏🤺⚔☮
That’s a crazy test but really impressed it survived. On the sharpness, I guarantee you could improve the factory edge on a Worksharp (that’s easy!) I have some of the newer Schrade blades, they are a good value. Thanks for the test
Maybe could be a video. Top 5 non threatening camping knives under 100. PS Love you're Channel, I feel bad for anyone you may be involved with that misses an anniversary or birthday.
Knife testing in WI? Hope you had some curds while here (both fresh & deep fried). Wish our paths had crossed, would love to talk blades with you. I've been focused on historical more; loving your modern reviews and that you've listened to fans in showing us some more budget-friendly options.
Schrade has always been pretty badass I thought, but can a Microtech knife take that kind of abuse.! Cause dam that's a hellava test, anyway just wondering.?? Perhaps test one out for me.. 😊🙏🎩🗡
Thank you, I’ve never had an OTF knife go on my pocket. You have to put a lot of pressure on the switch. Even if they do go off in the pocket they are made to go off track if there is anything resisting so they would not stick through your leg or anything
I am from MN and we can not carry OTF knives but can own them... Don't make sense! I have a few Viper-Tec knives and I like them a lot. Have you tried them Melissa?
With today’s manufacturing methods, there is no real need to charge 500 for a knife that costs them 40 to make. I suspect the company plays like a lot of these new companies do. They don’t really work, just play and expect a premium for their product.
A British knife wouldnt survive any of them tests. My favourite one broke just flickin it out the other day, you hammered the crap out of that & it still worked am seriously impressed 👍✌

Oh damn.. you mean all your videos aren't fun and ADHD like this one ???? I was gonna sub ! 😂❤❤

I'm actually surprised that the mechanism is still in tact. You really hammered the heck out of it Melissa!
I tried haha. Don’t know how it would hold up if I did it multiple times but I am impressed it survived
Just wanted to add that trying to drive the knife through the 2x4 across the grain makes it more difficult, of course . Thank you for the video, Melissa Backwoods❤

Why do I like this knife channel so much ? Also Front Squat and Bulgarian split squats are awesome. 🔥 legs! 🎉
I suppose that's not too shabby. I usually sharpen or reset the edge angle on the majority of my new knives anyway. Thanks for the torture test.
Schrade is making a comeback! 👍👍🇺🇸
They have been around for 150+ years and doing some new things, I am rooting for them
cool! i like that!

"Sorry, officer. I was just driving along, playing with my switchblade..."
😁
I definitely do with my otf on occasion lol. They're just so fidgety. Even just pushing the action forward without deploying it makes a satisfying sound like clicking a pen.
Hey thanks again Melissa for a wonderful video plus don't worry about it not scripted out as it was very enjoyable and real😊
Those are really good tests that separate the good razors from the bad, excellent video!!
Really enjoyed your enthusiasm and genuine pleasure at the knife's success was truly entertaining and convincing. Well done.
Miller don't skip leg day. Nice quads
😂
Work of Art.
She's pretty tough

pounding the blade cross grain too so... pretty good 👍🏻
Shout-out from Texas,that was definitely impressive.Thank you for all your vids.

Looked like a petrified 2x4. I’m impressed
This is the REAL Furiosa. No chance for the war boys... Grüße aus Deutschland
I'm impressed! Your comment about not driving while playing with an OTF reminds me of a memorable scene with Ray Stevenson in 'The Book of Eli'
I like the chaos. Great torture test please do more. Thank you.
Loving you over here in the UK😊
Almost 11 minutes of video and it felt like it was over in 3 lol. Great torture tests Melissa! Schrade did an excellent job on this one!
Thank you 😭
Is schrade looking to get past their crappy reputation now? I'm impressed with this.
becoming more and more apparent there is no reason to pay $500 for a Microtech.
Hell no, I've got a cobratec that I use all the time and it's never miss-fired and I paid 80 dollars.

Schrade isn’t Microtech
A high point works too should we buy that instead of Glocks or similar caliber brands?
The fact is, I watch this channel for its content. Not because she is easy on the eye. Okay, both actually. : )
Great job 👍. Love the autocorrect knife reviews.
Looks like you’ve recovered from the blade show not seeing any first aid tape 😊
That's pretty impressive for an OTF. And even more that its Schrade.
Welcome to Wisco!! I'm in East central Wisconsin, love the videos keepm coming
Bruh, she making them shorts look good!!!
That definitely surprised me! I thought 4 sure it would have broken the mechanism!! Awesome!!!
Great to see eye protection, safety first. To many people forget this.
Awesome video I really enjoyed watching it 😎👍🏻
Thanks Ms. M. Just bought a new blade. Love a thorough review. 😎
Oh my , you put that knife through a real torture test , looks to me it held up pretty darn well !
I was a bit concerned when you drove it through a 2X4 , I thought here is where it breaks but it didn’t just right on working !
For the price range that’s impressive durability!
Always wanted an OTF, but good ones which withstand a lot cost much, so never changed my RAT 1, but now maybe it's time to upgrade
Most of the time you’re paying for name recognition. Rarely are you paying for actual better builds n materials.

Great video production. You should host/narrate a TV show.
Thanks!!! I appreciate that!

Hello Melissa! I've been watching your videos for awhile now, awesome content!
On a side note what workout program do you do?
Nice to see a fellow Michigander doing so well. Great video.
Whats good for the Michigoose is good for the Michigander.
Too be fair that test was good enough for me. Good blade/knife.
great video, do you have any videos on how you like to sharpen your knives, again great videos keep them coming
You gave it a beating and it's still working. I would buy one.
Knife test aside,pretty good with that hammer. From someone who’s been using one longer than you’re on the planet!
I found you a few weeks ago as im getting back into knives. You remind me of me lol
Praise the knife nerd goddess .. A wicked sharp woman!. Much love M.B..
Melissa cannot make a bad video…. Ever…
That being said
She’s the best.
Oh trust me I have made some bad ones but thank you 😆
@@MelissaBackwoods
Early ones don’t count. You have them down now. And besides when you start laughing during a video it just makes it real…
Melissa, would you please review a SOG pentagon OTF I bought one and love it. The best thing about it is that there is no blade play.
Mega Cool OTF Knife For The Price Greetings Pirmin From Switzerland 🇨🇭
I like your look...you look like Lara Croft from Tomb Raider. The orange hammer is a nice touch.
Id love one , but here in Canada i cant even carry a platic fork here unless youre a criminal then you can have s firearm .....unreal
Nice video Melissa. Thanks
What a brave young lady you are! Driving around in the Liberal state of Wisconsin with a carload of knives? Better hope the cops don't find out. Skal
Great stuff! I really like your boots too. Can they be bought easily?
Wow shrade coming through
You were even going across the grain of the wood. Tough job for the knife.
Me gustan muchos tus videos abrazo desde argentina
great video.
I think I might buy one, having a few Chinese otf's and only one still working . This looks like a winner
When I initially opened it out of the box I was not that impressed because of the factory edge but after running it through these test I was impressed
It’s cake to put spec edge on it!
Forged in Fire with Melissa.But will it KILL? Love the chaos! And a very good summer to you. Peace!!!
Think I just found my introduction to OTF knives 👍
Nice test you did a great job
Thar is a cool tough knife.
Love the chaos of the video
spring assist knives are illegal in north carolina and most states
Thanks for sharing
"WE GOTTA POUND IT TO GET IT THROUGH THAT!" 🤭
Schrade has always been pretty badass I thought, but can a Microtech knife take that kind of abuse.! Cause dam that's a hellava test, anyway just wondering.?? Perhaps test one out for me.. 😊🙏🎩🗡
I found out myself, yes Microtech can take that kind of abuse! No problem at all.
woah awesome knife torture test ive ever watched, surprised a switchblade can actually be hammered on through wood and actually survive
Great video! I didn't know about this knife!
I thought you liked knives !!!!!
You are the best
Damn you beat the crap out that knife
"Oh, it's already breaking through! Hi Hii" 👍
That's a pretty good torture test
Keep the horn ❤ use it for a handle for a beautiful knife.
Looks just like the guts of Benchmade
Here for the knvies, staying for the beauty. 😂
Good job on testing your knife from sharde
Super interested!!!
Thank YOU for sharing!
Thanks for watching!!
Cute test Melissa. Very interesting.
You love knives as much or more than me, where have you been my whole life?
@MelissaBackwoods
Align the knife with the grain in the wood,would drive in easier.
Nice video and knife, but how do you keep it from opening accidentally in your pocket?
Thank you, I’ve never had an OTF knife go on my pocket. You have to put a lot of pressure on the switch. Even if they do go off in the pocket they are made to go off track if there is anything resisting so they would not stick through your leg or anything
I am from MN and we can not carry OTF knives but can own them... Don't make sense! I have a few Viper-Tec knives and I like them a lot. Have you tried them Melissa?
Yea!! I think vipertec makes a great affordable auto. I have one I want to do video on soon
Pretty impressive! Thanks for sharing.
I wanna see a the 'chuck it against the sidewalk test' and see if it survive next time 😮💨
You could turn that horn into a really cool knife handle!
I'll do whatever I want with it 😂🎉
In case you get attacked by Groot........
D2 steel done right is good imho . It’s done right by me in NE Ohio weather and am carrying a small fixed D2 atm 👍.

yes! like this style of review.
Question for Melissa. Cold Steel Code 4 spear point or pm3?
Melissa your Herman short-what model is it. Looked large so dragonfly?
