I liked this comparison. Thanks for posting. Looking forward to see more like this.
Thanks, almost forgot about this one haha
Just ordered the chinese knife last week so i was pleased to find this vid. Had a quick look through your other vids and have obviously subscribed. Looking forward to watching your back vids and all new ones. Good health and stay safe.
Welcome to the channel buddy, thank you.. I got a couple of them knives, handy for the price
Awesome compare... I think that this proves that not all things from China are crap and in fact many brand names originate from China and are quality made, I speak from experience. Thanks for sharing this great info. May just buy one myself, the Chinese model of course. Take care...
Just ordered 3 of those dollar knives... Cant wait to try em out...
Hi pal good review nice wee knife for a survial tin 👍
thank you, its not bad for $1 :) thanks for watching
I can understand wanting to buy a knife from a nice maker, but when its such a small fixed blade piece of steel theres not much that can fail
nail on the head! both will do the job just fine. Thank you for watching.
@@jamesaritchie1 Yeah well, we love our Chineseium...
The problem with buying 'nice' knives, or more accurately expensive ones are numerous, will you in all honesty have your custom knife on you and will you want to use it?, are exotic woods, bone etc as robust as simple plastic?, is your maker good with shapes but dire at temper?
The Chinese bushcraft and prepper market is huge, it's not unusual for CZcams videos that in the US would get a few thousand subscribers to get 100,000+
Asian fans actually get out and use this stuff.
Nice review of a practical knife that most probably already have. Some focus too much attention on $300 knives or new releases. Thanks
Hey, thank you. trying to have a new take on things :) ATB - Andy
Nice video!
Thanks very much
just picked up the RSK from hennie Haynes they are on sale for £11.95. I really like it its small but easily the most solidly built small knife I have, nothing fancy and nothing to damage really. I might have to review it and start a small fire with it!
Nice video! I stumbled upon probably the same knife on eBay for $1.25 so I ordered a few. This was just a few hours before I found this video interestingly enough. I'm eager to see how they perform. The CRKT is actually made in China as well IIRC so it's not too surprising that they're very similar. That has to be kind of vexing! I know that Doug spent a few years creating the RSK Mk 5 that was clearly the inspiration for this little blade. In fact it's a pretty close copy of the CRKT with a few details omitted probably to save money. Doug spent years creating the initial design, shopping around for a company that would produce it, doing prototypes, tweaking them and returning to the drawing board, etc before the knife was ready. Then, once it was perfected and marketed, the knockoffs began to appear.
I don't feel bad buying the knockoffs for a couple reasons. First I've already purchased four legit Ritter RSK knives so this isn't costing CRKT a sale. Next, Doug has confirmed that the RSK Mk5 has been discontinued. He pointed out that products have a life cycle and the RSK had reached the end of its cycle. In retrospect I suppose that the many copies as well as the plethora of new designs really cut into sales of the original.
Again, nice video! I look forward to testing them out myself.
yeah, they are very similar indeed, I have both so I feel no guilt haha, they do / did over charge here though for the CRKT so that pushes people towards the knock offs too. Seems mini cleavers are the in thing now for neckers etc, seem impractical to me haha. Thanks for watching buddy :)
*Excellent video!*
I bought my $.99 Chinese blade on the video. Is there a kydex or plastic sheath to order for it?
With it being small I’m thinking crkt is short for cricket..and less of a mouthful…tidy little knives
Wasn't the crkt one made in China when it was still in production?
I bought 2 of the dollar knives from eBay a few months ago. Both arrived sharp enough to dry shave my arm. (Yes, I washed the blade first). Both also arrived with totally garbage vinyl sheaths. I understand that some people noted that CRKT's sheath had bad retention in the sheath. Anyone know of a source for a decent fair priced sheath for the Chinese version, let me know please.
Ive seen these been thinking of getting a $1 one seeing as its a minimal use blade. Id guess the CRKT one is easier to hold due to the cuts machined in handel and the striking groove is a plus. For a buck Im thinking you could risk putting a few grooves in with a hacksaw and drill the striker round in. False economy is to be avoided...but a dollar leaves 29 more for a better sleeping bag tent etc
indeed, the CRKT does feel nice but for a small skinner or something, this seems fine.. I haven't actually used it since.. hoping to do a little hunting this year though!
Kent Survival nice. But I'd leave any of that off youtube. Bad enough you filleted a chicken. The vegopolice will hound you if you put up a hunt
I have a few of those dollar knifes laying in a drawer. They are about worthless with that short bit of a handle. I suspect they were never even heat treated.
The CRKT sheath is way better. Where I live it is a $15 knife vrs a $3.50 knife. So if you are buying just 1 the nice sheath is worth the money. CRKT also has a good warranty. The other one probably no warranty.
So expensive i dont got that much money to buy a knife xD
as much as i like the CRKT, I regretted buying it a little after buying the £1 Knife haha, thanks for watching
У меня такой за 1 доллар висит на шее,класс.
Huge fan of crkt but yea something like this theres not much to it
likely the same knife, just the CRKT is branded.
link for china made one mate?

thanks
no props, thanks for watching (Links are now also in the description)
thank you for the time to make this video, I am already sick from all cheerleaders and their overpriced mainstream knives - that they dont even use
BTW I am the guy from Crombat that makes videos from my perspective, not the guy filming himself - named Biso
haha, i know what you mean, also love my cheap mora :) at the end of the day.. it is a tool. The CRKT was a little thicker and does look / feel nice but as the results showed, they performed the same.
I've seen your videos :) i didn't realise I wasn't subscribed - I am now! and nice to meet you.
More like 3.29 vs crkt

Where in Kent can BRITISH people buy things for a dollar ? What country of origin is the dollar your on about ? In BRITISH currency, how much is a dollar ???
Have kent got dollar stores or pound shops like everywhere else?
assume you're trying to be funny but its from ali express, they price in dollars.. aliexpress is in china.. not kent. currently it is 0.77 to the USD if that helps. thanks for watching
The problem here lies not with the knives themselves, but more about supportin American made products that are thoughtout, original and also by buyin American made products you also support American workers that put hardwork into what they make and the economy which everybody should know is shitty now since the Chinese own each and everyone of you!!!! sure you can buy a cheap $1 Chinese knife vs a $100 USA knife, but you’ll be puttin money into a country that’s pollutin the planet with coal factories, say hello to more severe, extreme weather patterns(I.e. hurricanes, tsunamis, storms etc...), hotter summers and colder winters with each upcoming year, I digress, but if you have the money and can afford it you should be supportin your country, 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
