Got one in my tackle box. I used it from everything from cutting bait to fire making. I promise its worth every cent.

I like the low cost knifes, i have lost expensive knifes and these knifes work just fine and it does not hurt as much if you break it or loose it. Great vid !!!!

Notice the logo on the handle, that's the famous KA-BAR, U.S. Marine Corp Fighting/Utility Knife, this company was one of the original KA-BAR makers. I bought one from Wal-Mart because I was familiar with the company and the knife looked pretty good in the package, for 10 bucks I had to buy it even though I did not go there for a knife, it was the last one on the rack.I liked it so much I went back and got another, and made a nice leather sheath for it as I just recently got into leatherwork, just to make my own leather goods, not as a business. These knives are worth much more and they are lifetime warranted. One of the best knife buys you will ever make.Get one and be happy!!! Or 2 and be real happy !

I just bought one of these recently. I also bought a leather sheath for it and I really like this knife. This is a really decent knife for the price and it has already come in handy. I have many knives but right now, this one is my favorite in the under $100 category.

Got the same knife along with it's machete brother. Can never have to meny knives

Hey bud!!!! Lol I have this same knife I bought at Walmart when I wasfirst getting into knives it feels ok in hand doesn't hold an edge for long but strops right back. Its actually an ok bushcraft knife not as good as my condors or tops but for the price I leave it in one of my go bags.

I have one like that in me EDC back pack in my car. It cuts and slices just fine. It did have some issue feathering. I just sharpened it really good. But not bad for here in Arizona. Glad to have that rubber handle in 116 degree weather! No burns on my hand when left in the sun for a bit.

Just want you to know l have the same knife but l really hated the sheath, so I went online to Smoky Mountain Knife Works and bought a made in Mexico 5 inch black leather basket-weave textured knife sheath for $6.99. I read a lot of reviews on the knife sheath so I knew the strap was on the short side and wasn't going to be long enough to go around the handle on this knife. It was easy enough to stretch the leather strap the 1/8th of a inch I needed. The strap is easily removable so I soaked it in Lexol liquid Leather Conditioner for 2 hours then I stretched the strap tightly around a small flashlight for 48 hours. It worked out perfect, the knife sheath is nice quality, especially for $7. The only bad I can say about the aftermarket leather knife sheath is the five rivets they use in addition to the nylon stitching could have been a better quality, but at least it's riveted and stitched.

I bought one of these last year and use it occasionally. It works very well for slicing and skinning game. It definitely isn't the greatest at woodworking, but what did you expect for $10. Overall, I like it and will be adding it to the kits I am putting together!

Can't go wrong for $10.00. Thanks for the Video!

Really enjoyed the video Eric. It is a good looking and functional blade and incredible value. As somebody has already said, any knife will last a long time if taken care of. Full marks to you for using it sensibly as opposed to trying to destroy it just because it was cheap like happens on some KZfaq channels.

I'm no knife expert at all, and I just got back into solo backpack camping a couple years ago. I can afford higher quality, but would rather see how affordable stuff works. I've bought a lot of stinkers just to try out to see...lol. I picked this knife up last year and I also picked up a couple Mora Basics that were on clearance at my farm store. I absolutely love the Moras, however, for medium work this has been my go-to camping knife for multiple outings. I have had good luck with batoning 2"-3" wood, feathering, and ferro rod fire starting. I have a larger Schrade for bigger work, but honestly I love my little Camillus for medium work.

I have two of them. One in the house and one in the car They're great utility knives. Cheap, strong, easy to sharpen. That knife's a good deal!

I purchased the exact same knife more than a year ago as a general around the campsite utility knife and I've been very happy with it but I did go to a hobby store and purchase a sheath kit and made a leather sheath which I like a lot better then the one that was provided with the knife.

I have one I picked up for my triumphant return to camping last summer, it is SHARP, well balanced and the handle does give you a great grip. It doesn't chop but it'll do most everything else you ask.

I've got a few of both of these myself. For the money they're not bad. Same as you....I have these stashed here and there in various kits and places. Also like you....my Spyderco's are my EDC preference. I'm a total fanboy for that brand....and Cold Steel follows a close second on some of their higher end knives. Good review man. Thanks for posting.

I LOVE my Camillus (exactly as the one shown). They are a bit of work to sharpen, and need a bit of work when you get them (the bevil is wonky), but are a strong and durable knife. The weirdest thing is that at first blush, one would think they would/could be scandi grind, but you couldn't make it scandi grind if you wanted to, the angle of the blade just won't allow it. Works well for basic bushcraft and even a decent skinner. Shockingly good product for Walmare and the best knife under $30 I've ever owned!

I picked one of these up a few months ago. I have nothing but good to say about it. It is a absolutely great value for the price

Great review! I’m gonna pick one of these up for my second bug out bag.

i have a similar knife same make it was only £17 here in the UK and it works well for all my camping needs 👍

Keep up the great videos and keep them coming

Thanks for the review.

I've got a couple of those WM $10 knives also. They go in the car survival bag and glove compartment. You know the old 5 is 4 is 3 is 2 is 1 is none rule.

I have been through a few of the budget camilus ones, brown one in the video was a favorite. Have a diff but similar black one now as a extra in the truck. Good beaters, a little thin and brittle for any baton or chopping but good cutters like they were made to be. The sheath always wears out fast, lol.

I got a camillus folding knife with a fiberglass handle as my first knife. It has done the job for years so I think it was pretty useful.

Not a bad little blade. It would be perfect for putting in one of those “extra” kits we have on hand to give to folks who show up with no gear after the shtf.... most of those kits I have, include either a cheap Mora or old Air Force Survival Knives (used to be able to get them for less than $20).

I have the same knife,bought from Walmart. Thanks for the review. Now I know what it's capabilities are.

looks to do fine for what it is, and at 10 bucks, well, it does the job it was made for. good video

The only problem I have had with Camillus knives is just the Edge retention. The Camillus knives I have had are built solid for the money. But, the blade dulls incredibly fast. I guess if someone also bought a decent diamond sharper it wouldn't be bad as a budget survival blade or something. But, do not expect that edge to last very long.

It's a great knife to have to keep from messing up your expensive knifes. I am very pleased w it

Good review, thanks!

Big fan good vid. I like the knifes not fond of the sheath. Keep up the great work...

Cut the material on the snap taking it in and out. It came extremely sharp. The 11 inch Ozark is also a good buy. Full tang and sharp as hell. Also very intimidating. Would carry it for protection....Along w my sidearm of course

I bought that same knife to use as everyday carry. First thing I did was get a leather sheath for it. I didn't care for the way the one that came with it was designed. Otherwise this a decent knife for everyday tasks and will get you through if your caught off guard and need spend a couple days in the wild.

I bought that thing. I dropped my knife I made from 1095 steel and antler handle into Charlotte harbor. Bloop. This knife is fine. It cuts a few times before you need to hone it. A fine mill file ( little four inch file is fine) is the best way to keep this knife usefully sharp. The sheath will fall apart on you quick. Make a leather sheath for it.

Any knife last a long time if taken care of. Nice review.

Gerber Dime has a blister pack opening tool that actually works.

I have the old one with the black coated blade. The blade is so thin it feels cheap. I just use it as a utility knife in my toolbox. Works ok as it had a nice rubber handle which makes heavy use work tasks not so hard on the hands. I'll get this knife too and try it out. But these are beater blades and not knives you'd want to use out in the woods or for anything significant. Camillus is actually a decent budget brand. Better than Schrade and SOG imo.

bought one couple mo ago. decided to check sharpness and reshrpen, polished the edge,found that it took more effort then anticapated. am quite impressed with the sharpness i was able to achieved. we will see how well it holds up.

I have the knife with the green handle and I love it hairs jump off my arm after I sharpened it mowed all day and the 10.00 knife was right there perfect weight and fits hand good.

good to have a ammo can full of these for barter items.

I just bought this knife today. I'm planning on using it as a edc/utility knife.

might be an addition to some of your survival kits in the future.

Well, I went out and bought one. It works. It has a sheath. But, not analyzing it but that little hump in the middle of the handle is right were my finger goes. Not comfortable at all. So I trimmed it off. Now it fits much better, like a knife should. Plan to buy 2 more, one for each of my vehicles.

I bought this knife years ago....never used it. I recently got a bushcraft knife and brought the Camillus out to compare. It's pretty damn good carver, edge retention is not bad either.

There's a shrink-wrap opener tool you can get. It is in a very strong shrink wrap package.

I've had one for several yeas now. I dont do anything hard core. It is my go to knife for use around the house. The price was right, seems to cut well, and I absolutely love the grip, very comfortable for me. I also like that the spine is ground for use with a fire steel. If I were to find fault its the IMHO cheap crappy sheath but for $10 it is what it is. Buy a aftermarket sheath with a firesteel holder and its good to go.

I have the same knife. I been abused this knife for few months and to be honest, is been a good knife. I just sharp it and it slides like butter. For $10 bucks. Best choice ever.

I have to use that brand knife for my hunting knifes for years. I've used one for three seasons and it's just now needing sharpened after splitting half a dozen rib cages and hips. I'm debating hard about buying one of the replaceable blade ones

I do the same. I buy cheapo knives to keep with first aid kits or my little survival packs. But I sharpen them up myself

Lol! You had me at "full tang." That's become my "go/no-go" litmus for fixed blades, lately. Too many decent, inexpensive knives out there to settle for less.

Nice pretty much my thoughts on it too. Better value even than a mora these days, which is kind of sad, but scandi grinds are really... honestly meh... This knife is thick enough to baton with and never break which is pretty nuts, easy to sharpen. Wouldn't feel bad about touching it up with a speedy sharp and beating on it either.

I’ve had about a dozen of them, keep them in the vehicles tractors four wheelers. Knife is great sheath is not half of them won’t even button the clasp is too short.

Hollow ground knives don't feather stick very well. Give it a tiny convex right near the edge and it will improve some.

I brought it a few mouths back. It was sharp real sharp that it surprise me. Beat on it until I bend the thin blad and the tip is so thin i bent it on 1st stab but i real like this knife. This knife would of been stronger & better if it came in a saber grind instead of the hollow grind.

I have a set of the same knives, i purchased them because i thought at $10 bucks what do i have to loose? The ergonomic handle feels great and the blade isn't the best but it is effect! Enjoyed the review thx keepem coming.

If it just says it’s 440 steel, that means it is 440A which is not a great knife steel but better than other ones out there in knifeland. Camilus used to make some pretty good knives. They still have some good ones that aren’t in their budget line.

I expected you would do the bag thing .well, will wait.

I use that knive all the time dude

Looks ok for a camp knife , wouldn’t batton cord wood , but fine for kindling wood , of course you will probably have to sharpen it often

I have one in tan and it has honestly taken abuse. Insulation batt cutting and throwing into trees and cutting/chopping whatever and it is still around. Sharpens easy enough too. For the price it’s worth it for real!

They are real good knives i have some of them

I have the blue and silver one in my get home bag

This is the problem with knife enthusiast. They expect a quality knife to compare with a 200$ knife. Just appreciate the good of the knife for the price. I love this knife. And camillus is the casio or timex of knives. Great quality for the price. Just appreciate it and the price. Also camillus did the usmc kbar knife for the vietnam war. They have a cool history. I had this knife and gifted it and it meant a lot to me.

Hey for 10 bucks, you can't go wrong, keep it sharp an your GTG, thx for the vid.

I have the same knife.i use it for camping.it does ok

Knives like that are sold at times in the supermarket here in Europe, 10-15 USD. Same steel and design also comes in machete versions and axe versions. 420-440 stainless steel, rubber overmold handle and often a full tang. I did hard testing on those things and they are fine. The sheat is always garbage and will disintegrate quickly. But for an emergency backup-giveaway it is fine. Although I suggest constantly working with the gear you one day might have to rely on so you know it by instinct. If you follow that approach a cheap knife like that makes little sense.

Now when you can get a Mora or bump it up to $20 for a Bucklite max fixed blade. Even a packlite which they currently have on their web specials page.

Hi! I found a knife on Amazon for $30 that looked cool but I thought, cant be worth buying. I couldn't get it out of my mind however, G10 scales, cool design, comes with a universal clip. When I looked at it again I noticed it had 454 reviews with a 4.5 star average rating. Then I noticed quite a few different types of knives from this same brand which I have never heard of, all in the same price range or less and they all have very high ratings. I would be very interested in your evaluation. I just bought this model: Oerla TAC OLF-1009 Fixed Blade. UPDATE: I received the TAC OLF-1009. It is very well made, full tang 0.1875 thick steel. The sheath fits perfect and shaking it there is no sound or movement. It is also the absolutely the sharpest knife I have received out of the box. It came in a very nice box with a cleaning cloth. The bottom of the knife would be great as a hammer or window breaker. The nice flat area at the top of the blade is not quite a sharp 90 degrees to strike a ferro rod but could be filed slightly to get that but would lose the patina. The one not so good thing about this knife is that the handle is a little short. I have female hands and I think it is a little short. It is a nice small package though. Your pinky would probably not fit on it like mine does. You could add a braided lanyard for more grip or stability. But, VERY worth the price and VERY well made and presented.

I have seen a folder flipper by camillus called a chiller at tsc.. any experience anyone..? Just wondering if the bottle opener on back of the knife would be an issue..

Just bought one of the blueish ones. Shaves arm hair out of the box

Which 420? J2 or HC . Buck also has a good heat treat on their 420HC. Gerber also uses 420 HC but in my opinion Buck holds a longer edge. J2 isn’t Avery good knife steel as far as I’m concerned.

I open packages like that all the time with my knife

It doesn’t mean it’ll stop bullets. It means it should be shot. I have one of these that I keep in the car. Not bad for $10.

It's a great knife for opening other knife packaging

I'm impressed. Looks like Camillus know what they are doing with their 420 steel. Edge didn't fold, tang didn't snap & it's easy to resharpen (which I personally think preferable to long edge retention but $$$ in sharpening equipment). Might even have a slight edge over a Mora, and that's coming from a Mora Man.

in my experience, these have been fairly sharp. I have 3 of them.

What does titanium bonded mean?

The package is easy to open with the right tools. I used a box cutter, a pair of pliers, and a bench vise. :-)

I have more confidence in a Mora for the same money. Plus, a mora has better street cred. (Our "street" being the bushcraft community)

Mora and hulfators make very good knives in this price range, tbh the carnivore put me off cammilus.

Have 4 of them. Want a nice kydex sheath for them anyone know a link?

It took me 5 minutes to remember I actually bought this haha. I have a knife problem.

Ballistic Nylon was part of WW2 aircrew flak jackets, so kept the name.

....it will get the job done. Wonder what the job will be?

The package is actually very simple to open lol, at first they are annoying and frustrating though until you learn how the package is packaged if that makes sense bht once you know how it is you’ll be like oh wow .

doubt it's full tang, that's probably the end of the rat tail you're seeing. and buck has a 420HC high carbon with a bosch heat treat. i'd say this is just barely worth $10 (as cheap as that is). the handle looks comfortable.how far they've fallen from making G.i. fighting knives to walmart specials. thanks for showing these

It will require sharpening just about every time you use it. It's mostly good for teaching young folks how to handle and sharpen a knife. For low cost knives, stay with Morakniv.

Cool😀😀😀😀

I keep mine on my belt 24/7 you just never know better safe than sorry ✌️🤘🦅🇺🇲🦅

Thanks for sharing!

excelente relación precio/calidad.

Dude I hate that packaging, how do you like that spyderco?

My sheath felt like cardboard in nylon. But it holds the knife.

Just went online to order one, and they are out of stock.

would this knife be a better alternative to the Mora knives?

They made knives for WII USMC and swords ⚔️

I think that symbol is Excalibur to go with the name Camillus

You can hardly buy a sheath for 5$ ! That makes the package PDGood.

Why would you rely on a dollar menu knife in an emergency ? Spyderco bow river I believe it’s called is an amazing fixed blade for 40 bucks
