Even authentic Benchmade Knives bring me profound sadness. It cheers me up a little bit, when I hear that someone can at least buy a fake Benchmade knife. It evens out my melancholy to a less miserable level. Thanks China!
You hate your Country? Some of us Americans that haven't been to war have no idea how lucky we are. To watch you cheer on China steeling Americans way to make a living.
Happy someone can buy a fake knife made with intellectual property stolen from a US company? Thanks China??? This may be the dumbest Benchmade hating comment I’ve ever heard.
I had a Infidel clone that literally said "Benchade" on the blade...
That goes beyond just 'cloning' - that's counterfeiting. Ripping off both the design and the branding. You may not like Benchmade but counterfeiting hurts all businesses.
@realbroggo I'm well aware of the difference between clones and counterfeits. I haven't bought one in over 5 years.
Attack of the Clones!
The company Benchmade brings me sadness.
High five
They’ve fallen so far in the last decade. Quality has gone down while prices keep going up. I don’t think their authentic is much better than the fake lol. The anthem, griptillian and Osborne were the best the models they ever released imo.
They bring me joy. Both from having them and watching you losers cry all the time.
Get a life.

"Like liquid depression being poured over my soul...." 🤣🤣🤣 Has to be the best description I've heard for some time. Laughed so hard my coffee came out my nose. Sharp blades all.
He said, “eww, I hated it.”😂
Not all clones are created equal..
The frame is probably zinc thats the material usually used on cheaper otfs. Zinc is also much heavier than aluminum
Absolute gem of a video
Almost bought a Dodge Neon SRT years ago but that turned out to be a clone and not a SRT. Turned out for the best because I ended up buying my Mitsubishi EvoX instead of that junk
Damn what a waste of time to clone a neon srt. Love the real car though
"What is this frame?" Well I'll tell you... I have no idea. But, I'll bet it's known to cause cancer in the state of California. Maybe it's a chunk of the elephant's foot from chernobyl?
Oh and the ozark was a walmart find and not eBay. It’s also ambi, not all of the orange d2 ones are ambi, they had both on the shelf lol
He is correct, you did say that on Dec.13th 😂
They do have the Ozark Trail in green and black now.
I just pulled up Walmart's website and it looks like they have a Black and OD Green version now, but they were both OOS. I signed up to be notified if they came back :)
Ugh MC, just got my Excalibur. What a gem. Thank you!
I have that Ozark trails knife. It’s crap but kind of awesome at the same time. I use it for work and it gets beat.
2:45 And Friday the 13th too boot! 🍺🚬
Coincidences 😂 🍿
Had pretty much the same thoughts on the ozark trails one...for 10$ it is pretty crazy....
LMAO... squeezin out some ground sausage.. 😂😂😂😂
Yeah, counterfeit knives brandish the name of the legitimate company, clones generally have designs based on the original with their own branding. That Ozark Trail is close to a clone of the Bugout but not exactly.
The interesting thing about the Ozark Trail knife is that OUTDOORS55 did some testing on it, and while the HRC was actually respectable for a budget knife in D2 (it was like 58 or something), the edge retention testing he did revealed that it had edge retention that made 420J2 look like Maxamet by comparison. Seriously, it could only cut as long as one of those crappy Huusk knives made from 18/10.
I've owned/have quite a few OTFs in my collection and the infidel is one of my favorite. I bought two s30v models because ease of action and the feel of the handle. I don't know why people hate them so much other than they keep raising their prices everytime the color of their plastic changes. The examples I own have no more blade play than standard to all others but definitely less than the gen 3s I've gotten. Still like'm all and the quality they come with..
Kinda of like an old school Nick Shabazz video 👍🏼 that looks like cast iron 😂😂😂😂 This is what it’s coming down to Benchmade😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Oh fuck I’m so happy to see this
Thank you so much for blessing me with this piece of sh*t 😂
@@metal_complex😂😂😂 Balrog also doesn’t have any hidden meaning. Slow day at work and I went to town with the laminator
@@mattjay6633dammit had me all going deep in about balrog haha😂haha😂
@@bigskee4364 😂😂😂
@mattjay6633 hahaha it really confused me! I'll keep it forever 😂
These Zinc alloy body clones are about $25. Wait until you see one of the $15 plastic bodied versions! The current batch of $40 clones is interesting: aluminum body, no screws on the clip side, no holes in the button channel, generally good fit and finish, and the action is from Microtech Dirac, feeling much better (than the Benchmade Infidel), if not a bit twangy sounding. In some ways, those ARE better than the real thing. :)
Also, no Chinese company is crazy enough to make a "proper" $250 clone of the Infidel. Though a Vespa Infidel with a mirror polished M390 blade would be kind of funny.
I actually own the real infidel and i always feel like i wish i had never bought it. $500 for d2 steel and aluminum body. Not to meantion the action is so tight i have to use all of my hand strenth to deploy.
Am i a sucker? Yes. But in my defense, i didnt know what i was doing back when i bought it
Guy i work with started collecting Amazon's FLISSA brand of folding knives. While some of them aren't great, there are a few of them that I don't hate either. They range between $12-$30 and can compete with brands line Sitivien and Ganzo.
Wondering if you've ever checked them out before?
I got 2 of the Ozark trails knife at my local Walmart for like 9 bucks each so not to hard to find.
These Terrible heavy clones are almost always Zinc, which isnt even strong for its miserable weight. Raven crest tactical uses this ( ;
I paid retail for an Infidel when I was starting out. Guessing I’m not alone 😕
I own a real limited edition infidel and it doesn't hurt my feelings that metal complex doesnt like it. I bought it and i dont even like it. I dont feel bad about my purchase because it has doubled in price since i bought it (the knife world post covid is just ridiculous). It's a nice collector's item but as an otf knife there are so many better options.
Thanks
I love been thinking of buying the Crooked River... but I have no retailers near me I think ima buy a clone and if I like it I'll purchase it from smkw
Not a bad reason to buy a clone honestly
While I can't support buying counterfeits or clones, I can tell you that the full size Crooked River is a great knife. I purchased one not long after its release. Well made, operates smoothly and cuts well. Slightly thick behind the edge if that's an issue for you but sill cuts really well. Thanks to the well designed swedge the tip is quite strong. Also note that it's quite long however doesn't feel bulky in hand. Coloured pivot collar adds just a little pop. I carry it when I want to carry a nice looking large folder. Would also work well as a large folder for hiking or camping thanks to versatile blade shape. Take care.
Watched a video they pitted that Ozark against a Benchmade the Benchmade broke first
The Ozark D2 has decent hardness, but the entire surface has been burned from belt sharpening and won't hold an edge for any amount of time. Outdoors55 worked it out and ground the burn off the blade to reveal reasonable D2. It's a pretty worthless knife unless you put the work in. And fuck benchmade and their greed, everyone should just the clones if they're into their ugly nonsense.
Great video man 👍
My Mini Infidel fires snappy and kicks out like a mule. Real Mini Infidel by the way
I love my infidel in s30V. I dig it. I have a few autos, including a marfione custom that misfires every now and then, but I’ve never ever had a false deployment on the infidel. I love it for what it is. An American made OTF that is a reliable knife with a lifetime warranty. It looks like a lizard with a tongue for the blade and I think the fuller that others say look like a fallic part, looks like a streaking or shooting heart, lol. I dig it.
OTF are illegal in my country so I only buy $30 clones because customs will randomly take some. I wish I could hold and experience a real one.
My first OTF, Microtech Green Mamba! Always thought they were top of the line! My personal opinion, don't waste your money!!!
Probably a better value than an actual Infidel tbh. No clue how they’re still charging 500$ for a sloppy OTF in D2 with a novel outdated mechanism
They’re back in Walmart stores around me
Cool Balrog sticker!
Fun Fact: Balrog was inspired by Mike Tyson tho, in the Japanese version he was called M Bison ya know Mike Tyson? So maybe he saying that balrog a fake duplicate too 🤔 kinda far fetched but idk I tried 😂
aren't all benchmades over priced, thought that was their "thing".
Is no one going to talk about when he said “sometimes I grab it and just squeeze it out”? Or how about “well it goes in and out so I guess that’s good” … 😅
Out of all my collection, I don't own any Benchmade knives. Just to expensive for what you get vs expectations. 😲👊
It was in the name all along😮
Grinds look better than the real one.
I think the big sticker is from a very old boxing game called " Mike Tyson's knockout " but I could be wrong.
It’s Balrog from Street Fighter
@flojoso1 ok, I did say I could be wrong.
I inherited a green one just like this. If you want a good laugh open it up.
I can't even stand the sound of it 😢.
my take away is the biggest difference is this knife doesn't have people justifying the cash they've spent .. let take a min to laugh that there is no task the legit one can do that this can't lmfao
30 dollars for a clone can get you a Cjrb acacia
Ozark trail D2. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉. HAPPY, HAPPY, JOY,JOY!😊😊😊
Yep I’ve stayed away from Benchmade my entire knife collecting career. I plan to keep it that way. But this is quality content. Made me laugh. 😂
lf there is a legit knife there is a counterfeit version.Tons of YT videos on telling each one apart from the real deal. Literally everything has counterfeit versions, even brand name battery op tools and actual metal detectors.
I sadely buy a Combat Troodon clone. And i need a puley for take it out of my pocket ..! ^^
L m a o!!!!!!😅😅😅 belly chuckles
Clone or counterfeit?
Hilarity 😂
I have original end the same trash from Wish,the weight is exactly twice as much and huge blade play in both directions,it’s completely garbage.
ughhhhh, garbage lol
Day 2 to ask for a pocket knife ( I actually missed some videos because I had my exams going on but it only means that I'll have more to watch )
The theiving prices of any Benchmade product make me sad; so much so that in a 150+ collection there are zero Benchmade knives and will remain that way. They're criminally overpriced. Trying to buy US products shouldn't carry a premium of gouging buyers and Benchmade is a prime example of that kind of player.
