The fact is, is it made as well as the original?. No. Are most people that buy it going to actually hard use it and abuse it as a camp/outdoor knife?. No.

I was so impressed with the quality for $17 I clicked the link for this and it's "discontinued" so I scrolled down and found it for $14. Best $14 knife I've ever owned

My results were the same man, I jumped on amazon to buy a mora, and somehow I stumbled upon this via a add for temu, when I innevitably got side tracked, decided I had to know and bought it (also bought a couple extra moras, and another bradford from amazon, bc I have a problem and terrible impulse control) anyway, I expected a piece of junk and immediate failure...it now rides in my truck and I abuse it on the construction site regularly for the last 6 months, it won't break and im kinda mad about it...I dont own the real one, but id be interested to see how they compare

That's not a strong arm

It may not be breaking but if you do an actual edge retention test it may not fair so well. For all you know it could be 2cr13 steel. And even 420 is better than that.

You can compete brother! People will pay extra for the workmanship you put into a better looking knife. I’ve seen this same problem pop up with cheap versions of professional throwing knives. Yes the cheap ones work great but the expensive ones look and feel better and you know you’re supporting a good person.

That should tell you that they are overcharging for a legitimate strong arm.

Now I want one.

I WANT TO SEE the same tests with the original to see if the clone is not better given the number of videos where the clones do the same job as the originals and have been doing so for 8 years or more!!!but i fond one for 15 or 16 dollars it s an very strong pièce of chaînes knife for thé Price .... But for thé pour man it s effective clone or not

Great video! I feel a lot better now,I hate supporting China too! But for the price I decided to try one ,now I’m waiting on my second one now.😅

I bought the Ka-Bar Becker BK-18 from Temu for $27. I have not beat it up like you did but the knife and sheath are excellent so far, and now they are $24. Thanks for the review.

That sigh when you realised China can create a knife adequate for the majority of users for less than $20....

Impressive. The one I purchased is a decent quality knife. Holds a good edge. I paid $32.00 for two of those knives and gave one to my friend who used it for his field knife, no complaints about it, it holds up. I was surprised that for the price it actually is a good knife. The Scabbard is easy to make it fit tighter on its locking to hold the blade.

Danke dir für den tollen test ...

Wonder about the edge retention. I've tested some counterfeits that a guy gave me (Spydercos) to train regrinding on. The steel was pure butter. No frickin edge retention

Thanks for this video, I purchased this knife off of Temu not even knowing about the gerber knife. I was looking for a bushcraft knife and thought this might work. I was hesitant after receiving it because there was no way for me to test it to see if it was really a good steel or not, well now I know.

Its probably same maker ..knife probably hs a small flaw . So they sell them as damaged..and wo t brand..just because is american brand itst not made in us ...i bought a sog made i. China and it was one of the best flips i ever had ..

I like what you are doing sir. Regards from Malaysia.

thats just beautiful

I got both this fake strongarm as well as a really expensive real Gerber strongarm...aside from the font the writing on the blade is in and a slight glare to the plastic sheath i can't tell them from each other. If i had known how well made this clone was i would never have spent money on the real deal😂 The edge retention on the clone is fantastic. In this U.S Made Gerber Vs China..the winner is China.
