- I bought a $24.99 Damascus Knife From Ebay I was Shocked With What I Received.
Today I Review a Damascus knife I bought from eBay. It Was "handmade, damascus, custom knife." I honestly wasn't ready for this knife knife and it definitely wasn't something I expected. I also had all sorts of problems with the review.😡
Some GOOD knives for under $24.99

I don't know why your video came up in recommended. However....your style of editing is hilarious and just amazing. I legit laughed out loud several times. I'll gladly sub and share keep up stuff like this, it's 10/10 content
Should return to sender file for refund .
Follow up video idea you hire a curse breaker (Not from Ebay) then you reforge the knife like the shards of narsil. Or sling it in the bin and pray to never see it's like again.
OUTDOORS55 Well, you're young, I saw a surge of these come out 35yrs ago. Haha.
Must be cold in your hut bruh
$25 for that sheath is reasonable. It was very thoughtful of them to ship it with a spacer.
That's definitely a money back item.
Well the spacer helps hold the shape of the sheath for shipping, right?
😆😂
🤣🤣🤣👍
looks to me that they got the ad backwards
$25 sheath
comes with knife-like object
IT WAS A GOD LOOKING SHEATH. MOST OF THEM ARE PRETTY BAD THOUGH.
obviously hand-made... no machine would ever make so many different kinds of mistake on the same piece.
@@captainmaim underrated comment
LOL
Yeah. the knife is like shoe insert to keep the shape of the sheath.
The best part of this video is knowing that some Blacksmith in Pakistan, with his little DIY shop is shaking with rage watching this.
More likely, he's shaking with mirth, "Ha! I've already gotten your money, silly American!".
Did you, know that with, 25.00 USD a, person in Paki,stan can eat for 16 months!
They don't give dang. Or they wouldn't make them.
I can't tell one at a glance from across the room.
And they always have bent tips.
Usually rotting in some ashtray, or junk drawer.
Or ran over in road.
This channel is more authentic and entertaining than most of the fake knife enthusiast channels I've suffered through.
Lol👍
"two types of steel" - yup, a soup can and a vegetable can, that's two types, right?
Lol 🤣
Soup cans are all steel dude get a magnet and go into your kitchen and see for yourself.
Yeah probably some kind of pot steel like 316 stainless
well where I live there's "2 fruit" cans of tinned fruit, with a mix of apricots & pears, so with that can, even just a single can meets the 2 types criteria right?
Made from a recycled refrigerator frame and a manhole cover.
Hey! As long as it’s two metals that can make a pattern... Damascus!
I think manhole cover is harder steel lol
tan j maz Oh really.....! Want is reasoning behind using plastics? I think here in the North we can use them.
🤣
@tan j maz "do not represent any scrap value"
For which read "crackheads won't steal them".
And it was videos like this that got me into Mora knives. Absolutely incredible for the money. So much so, that I started to customize them and give them away to family and friends as gifts. I've never seen a knife delaminate like that in my entire 35 years on earth.
100%- Except the budget Mora's rust like crazy
@@chrismemphis8062 when you're done using them all you need to do is hose it down, hit it with a burst of compressed air, and a squirt of WD-40 then you are good to go. I'm not particularly kind to my dedicated garden tools and I haven't had any issues with corrosion of note.
@@chrismemphis8062 Gotta put an oxide coating on them right of. AKA, rust them so they don't rust as easy on their own.
@@Joe_Blo Exactly. I customize mine. That always means a nice
Boiled vinegar bath to get that black oxidized layer. A little oil every once in awhile, and those cheap knives last great. The only accidental rust I've ever had was after a day of slicing apples, and I totally forgot to wipe it down after (user error). So it took 4 minutes of wet sanding to remove.
Wait a minute. This knife was forged by virgins?
Usually, they use oldbike chains in order to imitate folded metal. This method however when done correctly can make excellent blades.
Yeah, cuz that's usually decent steel.
The technical name of the material used is Chinesium.
Lmaoo
Lol
Chinesium-Pakistanium Ultra Alloy
Sir, I believe its "Pakistainless" 🤣
This is binary chinesium tho. Way fancier than your average bodega chinesium knife... Pfffft those $10 pos are only made with one metal.
it's damascus made from these two types of steel: lead and mercury
With a little aluminum foil sprinkled in for good measure 😂
Uranium for a glow in the dark effect
The bald and toothless man at the atomic test site swore the metal was okay.
@@thebiggiron2269 That could explain the corrupted SD cards.
Aluminum and pewter maybe?
I don't know anything about knives or sharpening them so it was interesting seeing your analysis of this thing. I have been surprised by how bad things on ebay are in other regards, like USB3 cables that can't do USB3. I don't know if you have a way to measure how hard that metal is but that would have been interesting to see, especially compared to a regular knife. Thanks for the content!
Thank you for taking one for the team.
Boy if I had a dollar for every time my gf said “is this even wood”
We know what she's referring to 😂😂
Trying to figure it how this comment didn't win CZcams today... You fine sir are my hero for today I needed that.
@@survivalist9818 the new coffee table?
Lol
Awesome proper lol
He’s like an outdoor version of Linus
now that you say it i get what feeling i get from him
Atleast he dont wear the sandles linus does 🤣
As a PC gamer and a knife/sharpening hobbiest, this is easily my favorite CZcams comment of all time.
How could you say something so controversial yet so brave
Lmao
This is my favorite video of yours. I'm sure it took a lot of effort to edit it, and I hope you know it didn't go un-noticed.
I got a simular knife. It was so cool and versatile. It actually let me peel off “baby knives” by removing layers of the metal. By hand.
At this point I am convinced the MemoryCards kept corrupting because this knife is made from radioactive materials ... :D
YOLO MAN whoooosh
Probably some sort of magnet as well
Yikes!!! Actually that is plausible 🤕💀
It could be made from the same material they use for those scalar energy bracelets and pendants
@@FloofyTanker the moment you heat up a magnet to melting point, i believe before this point already, it loses all it's function as a magnet.
From now on, whenever ANYONE asks me, "What are you doing?" The answer will forever be, "sharpening my Damascus", as I recall this fabulous video.
Haha right
If you use this too often with your friends they will start thinking that this is just another way of saying "I am playing 5 vs willy, I am polishing the crown jewels"
The greatest product review of all time! 😂😂 I actually learned a lot aside from the damascus
The steel making up the Damascus came from pieces of a bus that drove off a cliff in India. 27 of the 437 passengers died.
The Pakistani that built the knife obtained the scrap steel pieces via a barter for a quart of goat milk. He shaped it holding it between his toes while sitting in a dirt stall in 110 degree heat.
His net profit was $1.00 for the finished knife.
Damascus knife : $24.99. This video: absolutely priceless, one of the funniest things I've seen in a long while.
This video must have had one of the most highly skilled production teams ever assembled to create such an entertaining, humorous, and to the point product review. Thanks.
Yes, is this even wood, as he kicks tree, lmao
In a long while 🤣😂
@@bigwu100 more like buying a $1000 car and it is advertised as "runs well" but you get it and once you get the car and it has lawn chair instead of seats and a 5HP lawnmower engine under the hood. A knife that can't be sharpened and can't cut isn't going to be much use either.
@@bigwu100 you are kidding right? I have purchased Pakistani knives before that far exceed the shit this $25 knife can achieve. For $25 you can buy any number of Chinese, Japanese, Taiwan made knives that would totally outperform it. "Hours spent making it"... sorry, but no. They likely pumped hundreds, if not thousands of these out in just an hours time.
They likely spent more time making the sheath than the actual knife.
I believe I figured it out. It did say "forged" which can have two meanings. Forged also means counter fit, so they are actually telling the truth. They probably figure that if they can get enough people to purchase their knives to do test videos on CZcams, they make a good profit. Love your humor. A well-made video. God bless.
The amount of time you've spent on producing a great video on a piece of dog doo doo called a "knife", is impressive sir. The "sharpening my Damascus" bit is legendary. Or should be. Submitting this to the CZcams Reviews Hall of Fame immediately.
There is one, isn't there?
Subscribed!
I bought a similar one from a gun show for about $25-$30 (don't recall exactly) and while it is NOT a great knife does look nice and is handy around the shop
I’m not gonna lie. I’ve never watched you before. This just popped up on my feed and that was legitimately hilarious. I thoroughly enjoyed that
Seconded
same
Haha,happened to me too,4 months later though
I've never seen him either. I have never been SO BORED in my life. I made it to 5:41, and fell asleep.
When I awoke, I hit "dislike" and got the fuck away from this loser.
@@johncoops6897 I'm guessing you made this knife
Hey, you spent $24.99 on a knife, what’d you expect, you know? Like cmon, cut it a break, you know? It’s a 25 dollar knife, like, the fit and finish, you know, complain about fit and finish...
In all seriousness, the production value of your videos have gone up so much, really fun to watch!
Except that Moras are outstanding quality and can be had for half the price of this one lol
The point isn't the cost of the knife or even the knife itself, It is that ebay is full of Bullshit liars & low life scumbags. Refund is in order or file a complaint against the seller.
Its really price shold have been 7 US.
@@c.r.5106 even ganzo.snarenmu,canku,rat1,openial and a few others that are low cost high value
Thank you for making this video. I watch your stuff all the time and I have learned a lot from you...but this is my absolute favorite video. I am laughing so hard right now!!!
Hahaha! The little both-of-me scenes had me rolling. "is that even wood?" lol
I'm a complete layman and bought a mora knife 15 years ago. I use it for EVERYTHING and it just won't stop being a great knife. Had it sharpened ONCE, still pretty sharp today!
Seriously, I bought a More Companion years ago for my tackle box solely because it had tons of great Amazon reviews. Now that I know more about knives and steel I respect it even more as it just absolutely demolishes more expensive knives I own when it comes to slicing. I wish they sold a folder!
Morakniv, made in the Mora factory Sweden. What do you expect? Even the "bargain basement" Companion knife is an excelent piece of cutlery.
My first Mora was given to me in 1955.when I was 12 years old. My respect for Mora knives remains to this day. No nonsense cutting tools.
*looks at tree*
"iS tHiS eVeN wOoD??"
Froot loops enthusiast I legitimately laughed out loud during that bit
Yes, this was the best part.
I mean it’s obviously not wood so ur right
Lol
I have a Damascus kitchen knife, a few imperfections, but nice. I had a hard time getting a decent edge on the blade, it’s pretty hard material, but once I got it sharpened, it does stay sharp for a long time.
I saw a comment of someone mentioning this video, I had to Find it and the comment was not lying this is so hallarious, truly one of the best knive reviews ever I'm loving every second of it
Thanks for watching 👍
I know exactly what the problem is. You tried to use it instead of putting it in your collection and "LOOKING" at it. Just "LOOKING". This knife was not intended for any type of use at all. Its sole purpose was to go into your collection and be "LOOKED" at. Thank you. Now that will be 16 easy payments $279.98 (plus processing) for my explanation of the exquisite Damasakuss knife.
Ooooohhh, my bad! Ill buy another for 39.99 and do just that!
Dale, Why was it advertised as otherwise??
@@tacticalcenter8658 Like the old saying: A lie is as good as a flush, to some.
You can almost feel the huge craptsmanship that went into this handmade masterpiece.
I thought I felt it too.... then realized I had to take a crap.
"..... handmade masterpiece OF SHIT!
What you have there is a $24 Damascus Safety Stabber with a Nice Sheath. As for the thick and thin scales, look at your hand when holding the knife. On one side, the meaty palm of your hand is touching the handle. On the other, the bony fingers maintain contact. It is up to you to decide which thickness scale works best. A custom choice. And you don't have to worry about cutting anything.
Stumbled on this and found it to be a quintessential example of edutainment. Kid, Sir...Bro...you are damn good at making fun. happily mashed that 'subscribe' button and look forward to watching some more of your work. Well done. Well played. Wellbutrin.
Glad you got the joke👍 Thanks for stopping by👍
You should pack it how it is at the end and send it back with a note. Tell him you dropped it and want a refund.
We do, not, refund knife,
Best idea
Andy from Little Britain voice...
Ah dropped it.
@@arnox4554 Ebay/paypal is 100% on the side of the buyer and would refund that. My daughter once sold an item on ebay and the buyer returned a photograph of it for a refund. Paypal refunded them.
@@prestonian1066 Wow, that's some bullshit.
You could've put a better edge on a cast iron skillet. That's an idea... The Skillet Knife!
Don't give wives a better weapon...
Yeah the new skillet knife, cut, fry and serve all with the same tool!! Lol
I made 3 of them so far from old cast iron skillets
You literally could its extremely hard right? It would be like sharpening glass or ceramic.
I've seen spatulas made from old skillets and the edge sharpened so maybe a knife from the handle could work.
For $25 it actually looks kinda cool for a weird conversation piece knife to have in a collection
I lost it at "prestigious", and then you couldn't continue. LMAO
That knife was pretty good considering it was likely made by 8 year olds.
lol damn!!
Could say the same about soo much lmao
@@billjamal4764 so true.
@derp derpin you say that as if people can just say “Hey! Stop making children make products” or as if they can just easily buy products not made by children even though 90% things people need to buy are made in China
Pattern welded steel is pattern welded steel. Damascus is a steel of unusually high purity where during the cooling process the carbides separate creating bands in a distinctive pattern in the blade.
Just for clarification.
LOL... Anytime someone begins a sentence with: “So, the other night, I was perusing eBay...,” you know the story is about to go south.

I cant believe the amount of people believing that their knives are damascus steel when they are clearly etched. Glad to see someone finally has some common sense. Thank you.
Mora is awesome..
The cheapest Mora here in Sweden will set you back like 1 USD.
The only real difference from an expensive Mora is that the cheap one comes with a really shitty plastic sheath and handle.
I have a friend that buy them and then melt of the handles and make some really nice handles on them and then just flip them for plenty of dollares on the internet :P
I think there is a certain charme in slightly translucent polypropylene handles and parts. I mean they tested them, they are safe, ergo shaped, minimum weight. We live in the future!
@@SianaGearz Yes but they only test them for "normal" wear and tear.
They do not test them to see if they can be banged on or used to pry something.
But hey what do you expect from a 1-2 dollar knife :P
If you want a realtivley cheap good knife that will last you a long time then the
Mora Companion Series
Look at those :D
"What are you doing now"
- "Sharpening my Damascus...?"
HAHA that got me good
The first thing that came to mind when you showed off that beautiful grain structure:
Is that...is that welding slag????
Looks like they didn’t flux it properly honestly
Right? Kinda looks like they heated it so much it became cast iron and never put flux in when they tried "forge welding" this beautiful blade
Do you know what slag looks like?
I did see a lot of those offers too and was suspicious about them.
I ended up buying a laminated steel blade from Mora.
Then I had to buy a ready made Mora to make the grip, because my tools suck at working with cherry root wood.
And I stuck using that normal carbon steel bladed Mora, that was cheaper that the fancy blade alone.
For the heck of it I bought an $11 folding knife with an Axis Lock off Amazon. I can't decide whether it's complete garbage or an amazing value. It's heavy and uncomfortable but reasonably functional. It opens easily with the thumb stud, closes with no stick, and cuts through a rope with no problem at all. It's in the junk drawer.
The guy that made the knife watches this video and is like "What the heck, I spent hours and hours working on that knife!"
WELL MOST OF AN HOUR ANYWAY
Well... okay, It felt like an hour
Meanwhile the guy that made the sheath is laughing saying, well at least he liked my work, huh?
Wait, did my-
-Did my reply about the atrocities surrounding the Uyghur in china get deleted?
We CAN correct each other's jokes to include CHILD labour, but we CAN'T also correct them into including Uyghurs?
and then spent the next week creating different youtube accounts to dislike the video.
I was like 'oh no, 19 minutes!'
After watching the video 'oh no, is it over already?!
Very entertaining!
I like it! The Damascus is nice, and the handle looks ergonomic. I DO have a similar one, and it is alright!
I literally laughed till I cried watching this. Great info!! 👍👍👍👍
Somehow I get the impression that you're not recommending me to get this knife 🤔
“It just grabbed me like nothing else has before”

@tan j maz yes, that is exactly the joke. Good job.
this was hilarious, you're a master of dry humor. thanks for a good laugh!😂
i bought a couple knives in Germany, where i live, and they both were dull. i dont know about the dealers of the knife in this video, but maybe some knives are sold dull for safety reasons.
anyway, it led to the wonderful experience of learning how to sharpen a knife with whet stones. can't complain.
youtube algorithms brought me here, i am from Pakistan, i laughed a lot. lol i was hiding my face as as soon as you said it came from Pakistan, though i know you meant that as a joke. Amazing video , loved it.

Oh come on, the children did the best they could with the materials provided! In all seriousness. I've had a friend turn up on a camp with a "Damascus" machete that cost roughly the same as your knife. He seemed mystified why everyone ran away when he chopped into wood. I didn't want chunks of recycled rusty shipping containers in my head when it shattered. Luckily the handle broke first.
Rusty shipping container, lol haha.
Too funny

Seriously. Theyre proud to claim that its made from "Bessemer steel". The Bessemer process is a method of combining scrap hardenable steel and mild steel... thats right, the blade being pot metal damascus is a selling point to these manufacturers.
Buying them for display is one thing, but there are so many manufacturers making high quality knives from high quality materials, it actually upsets me when these scammers (its NOT 1095 or 5160 and 15N20 as they all claim, so, scamming) make a sale from a novice knife buyer looking for a good user.
Even clones are more scrupulous than pakistani Damascus at this level. Ethical issues aside, at least clones are safe to the user.
@@CNYKnifeNerd nothing wrong with a clone. if A: when you buy it it is sold to you as a clone B: when you sell ot you sell it as a clone and not try to get over on someone. i just bought 3 waiting on them now. 1 was D2 others are 8cr15mov so im hoping they take a good edge and look good till im ready to invest the money in the real deal if ever
Not even 100% sure how I ended up on this channel, but that was friggin awesome.
"Is this even wood???" That cracked me up so much lmao
When you were reading that description my eyes rolled so far back into my head I summoned a demon.
How do you know my sleep paralysis demon?
Still doesnt count as exercise:-p
This is, perhaps, the best product review I have ever witnessed in my life, and I am 75 years old. Great job! Thank you.
ok boomer
I also purchased one. I returned it. Not satisfied. After a few months i then purchased a skinner knife with deer antler handle and leather sheath. The workmanship is good. Way better than the damascus. Worth the price. 30 bucks. Not bad.
Damascus steel was supposed to be the hardest steel and held an edge the better than other steel. If I remember my history lessons right , the art of making Damascus steel was lost a long time ago. If so the only Damascus steel that could be found would be in ancient arms and Armour and therefore very rare and expensive.

Hey bro i absolutely love YOUR channel. This particular video had me dying in laughter but also informative! Please DO NOT change YOUR style! Thank you
Thanks for the kind words. Glad some one got the humor and jokes in this👍 Thanks my friend 🙏
I got one of those a while back. Couldn't get it to sharpen and the edge was full of pits. I took it apart and threw the blade in the kiln. After tempering the steel a couple of times I was able to put a good edge on it with a wet belt. I made a new handle and it's now my favorite box cutter. What a pos! Looks cool for $25 but that's about it.
Your definition was spot on... "patter welded steel." The handle was micarta, don't know if anybody else mentioned it below. I didn't know what it was until I watched a video from Lewis Razors 3 years ago. He used it frequently for his razor blade scales.
It is mostly welded up in big sheets on rolling mills, it works just fine. The steel is not too bad, the heat treatment is laughable or not done at all. I heat treated one of these and was able get to rockwell at 58 So it can be turned into a usable knife
I bought a couple much bigger ones off ebay with some pocket change. One of them is quite good out of the box, is Rockwell 60ish and keeps an edge very well. And its quite pretty. The second one was like 420 prehard. so I removed the grips, and heat treated it properly (guessing at the type of steel(s). After gluing the grip panels back on.. and sharpining, it too turned out to be a decent knife. Rockwell 56ish, sharpened easily, held an edge quite well and is also pretty. (I do have a Rockwell hardness tester.. im a steel fabricator and machinist)
Just laughing all the way through man thank you. Wow I was in a shit mood then I came across your post. I've been collecting for 40 years but man this is just the best!!😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
I like your sense of humor and craftsmanship to boot. Subbed!

It's pathetic
I got one of those a while back because I was curious- it seems they’re very hit and miss. I don’t expect it to cut much, but the one I received looks and feels fairly nice, and isn’t quite as dull. Don’t get me wrong, I would never use it practically, but mine wasn’t the worst.
They make perfect beater knives
@@yasirkadhim2940 no, with such soft trash steel, it can never be used practically, much less as an beater.
This steel is best known as "Pakimascus" and it is normally stainless pots and bits of shipping containers, old cars or anything else they can get their grubby hands on.
And tons of lead.
And peels like a bad sunburn if you look at it sideways. LOL!
at least your sheath is functioning, I bought one for $15 and the sheath don't even fit.
Dude! You just saved me $174. They sell some beautiful looking stuff but I had to sniff out if they were for real. It never felt legit. They're on Etsy, too. I know it's the same Pakistan joint. I'd happily buy you a beer if I could for a net savings of $169. You're hilarious. Great video.
i won a bid for 7.50 and and got an 8 inch curved dagger its actually pretty nice it has a mosaic pattern and a rams horn handle oh and a leather sheath best 7.50 ive ever spent
"You know what?... What are YOU doing?" That one really got me LMAO! Excellent video, man.
I really enjoyed this video and see the changes and improvements you've made over time. I like the direction you're going with integrating humor along with your core content.
For some reason this made me think of the episode of The Goldbergs where Cabbage Patch Kids were all the rage and the mom bought some real bad knockoff version from a car trunk behind the store.
This knife wasn't even mall ninja quality! At least those crappy knives at least "appear" decent.
That was pretty funny! I was actually expecting it to snap and fragment. It went the opposite! Probably used 4130 and mild steel as the components! That "grain" wasn't even grain. Looked like they never even got it hot enough to completely weld.
Def not a forged weld not even close
I absolutely loved the fact that this video was better comedy than most comedic movies out there today. I figured that knife would be crap BUT your video kicked ass dude. The magnitude of sarcasm together with the lost art of "Dead pan" was awesome. I just came back from putting my dad's ashes in the ocean. I had to take an Uber to get to the Ocean when the driver totaled the car we were in by going through a red light, thankfully all I had was a couple of fractured fingers. the driver had a broken arm and nose and the other driver luckily had no seat belt and only went through the windshield with minor cuts and bruises. I took the Uber because yesterday I get out of the grocery store only to see my car demolished by a stoned driver. Glad I was in the store when this happened and not in the car. ---- So, yeah.....I needed a good laugh and you definitely came through. --- Take care and keep on making vids.
Please buy another one and heat treat and normalize i want to see
I have some of the pieces maybe ill try to Harden a piece🤷♂️
I second this. I wonder what you could make this garbage into!
OUTDOORS55 just reforge it proper
@@joshrepik I'm not sure you can re-forge bubble gum...
Matthew Shannon wellllllll I didn’t realize what shit metal it was when I wrote that
after 3 minutes I began to wonder why was I even watching this video... at 6 minutes I began to be confounded... at ten minutes I did urgently call 119 … but I really worried when no one arrived to rescue me?
Everyone considering buying a Damascus knife from that pace should watch this, great work.
Ive just bought a damascus pocket knife with abalone handle for 40 euro which is about 65 australian dollars, im hoping its stronger than this because it looks beautiful. I will update this comment when i get it
i spent $15.00 on a knife year's ago,, and it's still going strong,, it's a MORA..
thank you, Thomas Forshey, for the information about a completely different, unrelated knife.
@@sable7687 Ikr. It was the best most useful comment in the whole section.
@@sable7687 However, it is relevant to the video.
@@SondreGrneng the only thing relating it is the fact that its a somewhat cheap knife, not even specifying that it came from Ebay. Its fairly typical for a storebought knife to last a while.
@@sable7687 u even watched the vid bro?
That is wall hanger its not supposed to be a knife . just look fancy to non trained eye.
A 10$ mora is a real tool . this is a knife shaped object.
Video is great and great editing . is your camera also possed by cthulu?
Or possessed? LOL!
we have too many words being made by millennials and those who think they're cool but knife shaped object is one of the best ones I've heard. I'm going to use it every time someone gives me a free one
@@neilleatham5662 that's not a word. That's a term.
@@ModernBladesmith What do you mean? I have a knifeshapedobject hanging on my wall, doesn't everyone?
@@markfergerson2145 no. He said it was a made up term. "Knife shaped object" i a term
Polish a bit of steel, apply coats of french polish, scratch out the grooves you want, dunk in acid.. This is how patterned armour was made. Some of which is magnificent. Put some black muck on the etched areas. Black fingers will do after grinding in the workshop.
This post is very old but for any wary buyers Pakistani made Damascus it is nothing more than weld pattern Steel. It is basically a coating, plated Damascus if you will. If it ever breaks Ergo gets wet and rusts to where it breaks it will peel off of the steel underneath just like dead skin
Watch that knife be made with some shit alloy with a small amount of thorium in it; dumping out low grade ionizing radiation and slowing corrupting all magnetic storage within its grasp
I was starting to think it had some radiation, which would explain the corrupted memory cards.
I watched some vids on that and it's shockingly hard to corrupt sd cards even the cheapest of cheap, basically can't do it externally

I've never seen your face before, you literally were part of youtube's random algorithm but shit's hilarious, I'm subbing.
I got something like that one, mine was Dumbasskiss also. Mine was about the same in thickness about 3/16", but the handle was slightly more symmetrical, the sheath was worse, 20 bucks though, I bought mine sometime in 2017. It took about 2 weeks to sharpen also. Which is odd as it doesn't hold an edge well. One thing is for certain, for 25 dollars, it is an interesting compilation of everything that you Shouldn't do in knife making, in which case it's a steal to have all those errors in one handy place.
9:08 The "it's multifaceted" joke was quite smart tbh.. 😂😂
