I've bought several clones of differing brands from Wish, and 90% of them have been indistinguishable from the originals. For the price they are excellent knives, and if you lose one you don't feel too bad.
A guilt free beater as well! I'd cringe/cry messing up a real one. Their is a reason I only bring my expensive EDCs out if such are neck knives: hard to loose. Alway easy to have. Saved me from a real hellish situation 1 time. was a crkt bowie minimalist. Have a special bond with such. Got it for 20-25 bucks, a deal since amazon has em for 35, official website even more. Feel like a fool when I passed up their M16 which was priced for 19.99. I came back to the store and it was gone. Repeated so for almost half a year. Occasionally have looked to see if Dicks sporting goods ever got it back in. Since 2019... I haven’t seen it. They curbed gun sales, you cannot buy em where I live. Same principle goes for knives to a lesser degree. Especially since the guy behind the gun counter was who would help you actually get the knife. Zero employees are at the back of the warehouse, they practically don’t know if they exist, Aren’t helpful. Probably doesn’t help my Dick's has a 2/5 on yelp.
I have bought about a dozen different kinds of 'Benchmade' knives from here and having had an original mini crooked river, these are really close to the originals. Very solidly made and sharp!
@@joshduffy5078 facts. If these broke boys can't afford a benchmade then buy a Kershaw. They're much better than Chinese Benchmade fakes. Why even buy a clone that hasn't been heat treated correctly?
That's quite possible. I know that a while back before spyderco cracked down they were making an authorized copies in the same Chinese factories that made their Chinese knives
I just got 4 mini bug outs and 2 full size bug outs from wish and they are fuckin nice. They are razor sharp great action on all but one mini but that was only because the pivot screw was too tight. They showed up 7 or 8 days after I got them. Can't imagine what an additional 190 bucks would do for me. They were 11 bucks a piece. I got others too, an Osborne and a griptillian and a mini griptillian and they are REALLY solid knives. The bug outs have some flex to the plastic but are razor sharp and I don't care if I drop it, lose it or ruin it. I gave a few away to coworkers. The grips and Osborne are really nice. Especially for 20 a piece! I will say owning these does make me want one or two real ones one day, but they will just sit at home. I don't have money like that yet where I can use and wear out a 200+ dollar knife. Only issue I really have is that two of the boxes, inside them, they stank like mold real bad! Only two out of 10 or so total. Knives were fine though.
@@OhioBladeandCutlery I was cutting open a package of water bottles at work and they were good bottles, Aquafina so they aren't the chincy crappy bottles, they hold their shape. The tip of the full size Grip just BARELY grazed one of the bottles and it cut a hole in it lol
It's 440hc, the heat treats are good on about 90% of them. If the heat treat is good 440HC will hold up about 85% edge retention of S30. S30v is a great steel and one of my fav but a good solid 440hc is decent steel and touches up om a strop excellent once you get a good solid bevel on it and likes 19 degrees per side very well. Get you a nice 19 degree convex edge and the edge will hold well and a couple strops on a 1 micron diamond treated strop and your right back to hair whittling... 440hc don't like going below 1 micron so don't run it on a half micron or 0.1 micron diamond treated strop or the edge will roll on you.. Keep it finished on a 3 micron or 1 micron finish and you have a pretty solid beater knife that the edge will do what you need it to and a few swipes on the strop at the end of the day and you always have a razor in your pocket
Its not 440c tho bc China much more likely to use 8cr13mov or 9cr18mov, D2, Chinese steels instead of 440c. 440c is the American equivalent to 9cr. I would bet its 8cr on the cheap ones and 9cr on the high end ones and D2 in the middle.
Can't afford to beat on a 200 dollar knife but love benchmade. Find myself not carrying it cuz of the price. I just ordered 3 "bugouts" for like 60 bucks. For me as long as the axis lock is smooth and the knife keeps a decent edge who the heck cares! Lose it? Break it beyond repair? Oh well grab another outta thr drawer and roll on. Do that with my 200 dollar 940? I'm losing sleep.
For a bit more just get the Petrified Fish pf818... It's a really good knife with real D2 that holds the edge much longer compared to those. :) I bought this Jufule just to see how is the real bugout... Jufule is like a demo version of the real knife, but not a good knife (even for the price).

I don't like how expensive benchmades are but I'd rather pay the $150 and support an american company than save $125 and support people making counterfitting something that is supposed to be quality product. Thats just my opinion
Im sorry but Americans businesses dont give a rats ass about anyone but filling there own pockets. If they really cared, they wouldn't have such ridiculous mark up on these blades in the first place and more people opt to buy them vs clones and counterfeits.
SOME (actually way too many) sellers are buying these $20 knives, which despite appearances are not quite as good as the original, and reselling them as originals. They may be almost as good as a Benchmade (though the steel in the blade is doubtless far inferior to that used by Benchmade), but how would you like to pay the full Benchmade price, or even a bit less - for a fake? No natter how good it might be, I'd feel ripped off.
I actually got a bc balisong fake from there one time and it was one of the most solid butterflies I've had, i actually seen these on there and was thinking of grabbing one lol
Mine was not centered and the plastic of the scales is way too soft. I guess that it is worth 20-30 bucks. The real question is: is the roginal Bugout worth 150 bucks?
Great review, brother. Interested to see how it holds up longer term (for a $31 knife I mean [not as a ripped off design or clone], because that's getting right around the price range of other, more legitimate China made knives like Honey Badger if you count shipping). Hey, if I don't see one from you before, wishing you and yours a merry Christmas and happy holiday season, my friend 😊✌
Not a bad knife for the money but do not expect it to hold an edge long. None of the ones i have hold an edge long at all. The good thing is that it takes seconds to get the sharp back.
This is exactly what I always say and people don't understand. People think that because it cost so little they must cut covers somewhere but that's not always true. The truth is it really didn't cost much to manufacture many products at scale. Benchmade can manufacture a knife at cost for maybe 30 to 50 dollars in raw materials then add a few dollars for labor and packaging materials and then sell it for $400 and we accept that because we don't know the true cost of manufacture. These Chinese clones reveal to us the true cost of manufacture. Of course it costs more to produce here in the US but still the price is hiked up to create maximum profit and the illusion that it is worth that much. That iphone that cost $1000 probably cost$100 - $200 to manufacture at volume. This is just the way it is for all products. People are always looking for reasons why the knife is so inexpensive, the truth is, this mass produced knives and other products should really cost
Well… material and wages of the original will make it a lot more expensive. But Benchmade really adds the butterfly tax to their knives, which is somewhat between 50 and 100%. ;)
even if it is a good knife, dont buy clones. there are some really nice budget knives out there that have nice action, good steel, and come from a respectable knife company.
I ordered from Wish exactly the same one few days ago. So my question is....do you think Flytanium scales will fit on it? Bugout with brass scales looks awesome.....to me.
Yes, there's a channel that did switch the scales. The holes near the pivot were off by 1/1000th of an inch so he had to take a needle file so the holes would match up. BTW, AliExpress has scales for several BM, Spyderco and other major brands top sellers. Nice scales for like $17. Not $50. Lots to choose from. This isn't the video of the scale swap but it's this guy's channel. He swapped out the scales on his BM with his DHGate Bug out clone. czcams.com/video/GCX2wNPp4x4/video.html
Thx. Any idea if the sv30 is real now? Or has it still held its edge? If you found it on the street would be able to tell the difference or be super stoked you found a real benchmade???
Don’t think it’s real sv30. Likely D2. It’s has held its edge well. I don’t think I’d be able to tell it was not authentic without having a real one for comparison side by side.
I'd rather have a cheap decent knife I can actually use than one I can't afford to. I had 2 BM knives and lost one which was terrible cuz it was 250 down the drain.
Ok I dont get too impressed with Wish knives, but I really don't see a difference between my bugout BM and the replica. Except maybe the color is a little darker. But all in all. NICE FIND!!
I'd feel guilty about clones but when it comes to Benchmade, yeah I feel quite comfortable. I wish some affordable Knives were offered. I'm not saying 35 bucks of course, but like 100 bucks. 100-130 for a basic bitch variation would be cool. They had a pardue going for 100 on their website years ago, feel so bad I didn’t pull the trigger. I really dislike the artificial scarcity they create. ( I know you can get a BM 1 piece dagger for like 130 bucks but most would like something more.) How many of us beg for a rerelease of the Model 42? I'd actually consider 400 bucks like it once was, (but I'm sure it would cost more because of "special anniversary "limited" run custom swag, gucci supreme ball bearings.") Only Bali offered on their website is one which isn’t what most want and is 200 bucks more than the 42. (I'm gonna buy a Kershaw lucha or Boker Plus Large Bali, 130 bucks vs 90 bucks. Appreciate advice, help :3) The old website I eagle eyed as a 12 y/o was so superior to the "modern" one we have currently. The UI is worse. Far less product diversity. The Model 42 was my grail blade as a kid, over a decade ago. While 400 seems wild when I could get 2 Microtechs in place of such ( I believe Microtech has superior quality control compared to BM, or so I hear. How Micros are the same as always while BMs have dropped quality wise while keeping a cool kid club price tag.
Buy a Benchmade for showing off or end of the world play. Buy a decent knockoff to beat the living hell out of everyday. Plus if a cop "confiscates" it, no big deal. You hearing me Chicago?
i bought a huge amount of knifes and machetes on wish. usualy when i was drunk lol. i was surprised how many came till me. They also have cool bows, i bought about 7 bows. and the arrows there are dirtcheap! that s always what sucked for me when shooting 50lbs bows
Honestly in that 2 month wait time you should be able to figure out a way to save some money and buy the real thing, I think you’ll have a much better experience with the real deal, these fakes are tarnishing benchmades name because not everyone realizes there fakes
I’ve had the authentic Benchmade 535 in black and it was a terrific knife. I was just curious what you get with the fake one. Thanks for watching brother
Could spend a month saving up the extra cash to buy the real thing and you'll have a great knife + make a CEO happy. Or wait a month and get 4 great knives and still have enough left over to take the women out to dinner. But its always great to support American companies when you can. The problem is foreign companies have such a big lead over the US counterparts.
If you think that’s a hot knife through butter you never owned a sharpe knife……. Just the sound isn’t right as it’s cutting. There are clones yea and I have met some just as good but I won’t agree with you on this one. You get what you pay for but then again I don’t agree with benchmades price on bugouts.
I have one of these counterfeit Benchmade Bugouts.That people pay such ridiculous prices for these unremarkable things astounds me. Possibly the most overrated knife I've heard of. Boring, and feels cheap, almost as if it's made for children.

I will say ,,,,if you buy a benchmade and it comes with a really good grind......its a fake.....benchmade knives come with the worst grind of any knife I have ever bought....just mho
I’ve bought real Microtecs and Benchmades and these knockoffs from DHgate are pretty close replicas. You would have to know the knives very well to tell the difference. The latest I bought a clone Combat Troodon and everyone thinks I spent 1,300 on this thing it’s that close to the original.
I can’t justify spending $120 For a folding knife But I can get for a quarter of the price and does the same thing. Is it a knock off? Yup. Is it cheap. Yup. I guess I won’t feel bad if it breaks or I lose it. And im happy knowing benchmade didnt take me to the bank.
The really great thing about these fakes, (aside from having really cool pot-metal blades, and being made with slave labor.) is the fact that if anything goe’s wrong with it, you can just send it to the Chinese Benchmade factory, and they will make everything OK. But really, what could go wrong when we all know the Chinese people’s reputation for quality and workmanship?
I've bought several clones of differing brands from Wish, and 90% of them have been indistinguishable from the originals. For the price they are excellent knives, and if you lose one you don't feel too bad.

The seller is “LBLL”. Just be aware the shipping takes a long time. Like over a month.
I'm dying to know how the blade steel held up.
Do you think it's made of 9Cr or 10Cr?
It’s held up really well actually. My guess is 8Cr or maybe 9Cr.
@@OhioBladeandCutlery Thanks for answering, good to know👍!
@@OhioBladeandCutlery I know their "expensive" bugout clones (+/- $38) with carbon fiber or titanium scales use D2.
Buy a Benchmade for showing off or end of the world play. Buy a decent knockoff to beat the living hell out of everyday. Plus if a cop "confiscates" it, no big deal. You hearing me Chicago?
Can we get a video update on this?!?
Gave it to a friend of mine but he said it has held up well. No complaints.
So how did it hold up? Is it D2?
It has held up great. My assumption is it’s D2, but I never tested it.
Just went and bought one😂
Awesome
i bought a huge amount of knifes and machetes on wish.
usualy when i was drunk lol.
i was surprised how many came till me.
They also have cool bows, i bought about 7 bows. and the arrows there are dirtcheap! that s always what sucked for me when shooting 50lbs bows
Any updates?
It’s been a great knife. No issues yet. Holds an edge very well
how did it stand up, I've got one on the way
Held up pretty well for me
Fakes might be good enough to fool some people but it’ll NEVER fool you 😉
🤣
Honestly in that 2 month wait time you should be able to figure out a way to save some money and buy the real thing, I think you’ll have a much better experience with the real deal, these fakes are tarnishing benchmades name because not everyone realizes there fakes
I’ve had the authentic Benchmade 535 in black and it was a terrific knife. I was just curious what you get with the fake one. Thanks for watching brother
Ah I see, yea I can’t fault you for being curious I’ve wondered how they were before. Can’t wait to see how it holds up.
👍👊
Could spend a month saving up the extra cash to buy the real thing and you'll have a great knife + make a CEO happy. Or wait a month and get 4 great knives and still have enough left over to take the women out to dinner. But its always great to support American companies when you can. The problem is foreign companies have such a big lead over the US counterparts.
I'm guessing it's not really S30V?
Right, it almost certainly isn’t.
Better than a real one
You've had it for a while, what's the update?
It’s held up well. No complaints
Does the fake have nylon or bronze washers?
Nylon
Man they have upped their game!
That have indeed
If you think that’s a hot knife through butter you never owned a sharpe knife……. Just the sound isn’t right as it’s cutting. There are clones yea and I have met some just as good but I won’t agree with you on this one. You get what you pay for but then again I don’t agree with benchmades price on bugouts.
Hey there would you be able to send me the exact one you bought off wish because I don't want to buy a rubbish version of one of those.
Here ya go!
💰 Look what I found on Wish! I'm giving you $5 off your first purchase with code: rxldzjp

Seller is LBLL.
What kind of steel is it?
No idea on these clones. I’d have to get it tested
I have one of these counterfeit Benchmade Bugouts.That people pay such ridiculous prices for these unremarkable things astounds me. Possibly the most overrated knife I've heard of. Boring, and feels cheap, almost as if it's made for children.
Cincinnati checking in!!
Subbed!
Awesome! Welcome to the channel, I always love to hear from fellow Ohioans
Ok by me, BM causes their own $$ problem, love mine!
What color is this one?
Green
You payed 30 I paid 7 for the one that's coming😂
Sounds like you got a good deal!
Update!!!
Haven’t had any issues with it. Still works great and holds an edge for a decent amount of time
Of course it's not S30V lol it's either 9cr or one of those possibly D2.
Crazy how they get away with that shite lol.
👊💀
Well it's China. They steal everything from everyone.
This is exactly what I always say and people don't understand. People think that because it cost so little they must cut covers somewhere but that's not always true. The truth is it really didn't cost much to manufacture many products at scale. Benchmade can manufacture a knife at cost for maybe 30 to 50 dollars in raw materials then add a few dollars for labor and packaging materials and then sell it for $400 and we accept that because we don't know the true cost of manufacture. These Chinese clones reveal to us the true cost of manufacture. Of course it costs more to produce here in the US but still the price is hiked up to create maximum profit and the illusion that it is worth that much. That iphone that cost $1000 probably cost $100 - $200 to manufacture at volume. This is just the way it is for all products. People are always looking for reasons why the knife is so inexpensive, the truth is, this is what mass produced knives and other products actually cost. Not what we think they should cost
If you can’t tell those are orange and not gold like Benchmade you may need to get your eyes checked.
I’m actually color blind so that’s the reason I guess
I will say ,,,,if you buy a benchmade and it comes with a really good grind......its a fake.....benchmade knives come with the worst grind of any knife I have ever bought....just mho
I’ve bought real Microtecs and Benchmades and these knockoffs from DHgate are pretty close replicas. You would have to know the knives very well to tell the difference. The latest I bought a clone Combat Troodon and everyone thinks I spent 1,300 on this thing it’s that close to the original.
Yep, they are super hard to distinguish from the real ones.
As good as an Mtech (which legitimately says it's made in China).
I think this is better than an MTech
$31 not to bad
Yep, seems like a great knife for the money
Chairmade Crapout
Bench is stupid overpriced. When you can’t tell the difference between the clone and og, you know you’ve been taken for a ride.
Put a Ferrari sticker on my Volkswagen and it`s soooo mutch faster now..........
😂
I heard they literally use olive oil to oil their fake knives lol
Why. It's more expensive than almost any alternative
produced by Lemifshe. real D2 steel, hence the oil film.
edit: just strop it 5 times per side and it will be razor-sharp ;-)
Good to know!
stab the stump for tip
I usually do. Not sure why I didn’t with this one.
You should chop that clone trash in half
Maybe I will!
Don’t buy Chinese crap it doesn’t compare to the original, buy American Benchmade and if you don’t have the money, save until you do it’s worth it!
I agree with you, but if you want a cheap beater knife, this one isn’t bad.
I can’t justify spending $120 For a folding knife But I can get for a quarter of the price and does the same thing. Is it a knock off? Yup. Is it cheap. Yup. I guess I won’t feel bad if it breaks or I lose it. And im happy knowing benchmade didnt take me to the bank.
The really great thing about these fakes, (aside from having really cool pot-metal blades, and being made with slave labor.) is the fact that if anything goe’s wrong with it, you can just send it to the Chinese Benchmade factory, and they will make everything OK. But really, what could go wrong when we all know the Chinese people’s reputation for quality and workmanship?
🤣🤣🤣
Pretty good fake ⛩⛩⛩⛩⛩
Yeah, they are getting very hard to tell from the real thing. Seems like a great knife for $31 too
Boo
Worst blade in ohio
Lol, I assure you there are way worse ones here in Ohio
Fake...👎
