Can you link to some of these knives?

@@jonenglish6617 I can’t, I looked up some of them and they aren’t available from the same seller. You can easily find similar ones by searching for outdoor knife

@@RandoWayne thank you

@@ohboah320 I’m all for paying as little for a tool I’m going to more than likely break . Knives are definitely so much mark up

That pretty crazy, thanks for sharing your comparison. I mean fake or not it will definitely cut!

That sounds right. Yhe story i got from temu is that it often times is overproduction but there's of course clones as well.

At the time of purchase it was just over 10, I’m sure a little more now. Yeah though , knife flea market not a bad idea! Take care

Just like many other things that get copied on the market these knives follow suit. I know companies that produce items and sell them are trying to make an honest venture while these copies can definitely put a damper on why they are doing. It makes sense that if someone bought and was trying to resell these that they could be held accountable as they are participating in screwing over legit companies. For those that buy like I did and in my case more for inspection I know I’m not helping the cause here but maybe I can help others to choose more wisely. Thanks for watching and take care

OK fed go and Karen someone else and don't watch his videos if you've got a problem 🙄

Hey Elmer Fudd go back to yelling at your tv

US laws don't hold and value in China, unfortunately.

What a dick 😂 he thinks those companies need money they’re charging us such a fair price they’re broke

Oh geez! Crazy how close these seem

Thank you I appreciate it. Take care and be safe out there

That’s pretty cool!

@@caseybaker5830 that’s fair, I’ll have to try that. Take care

Thank you for that info! I only held one iteration of the bugout and it was fairly smooth. That being said the guy ant the store was thinking it open and closed a bunch like it was his job so I’m assuming that is why. The 2 I have did vary oddly enough with flexing the second seems the most ‘real’. Bra safe out there and take care!

@@RandoWayne yea. That’s the “display knife” the one everyone handles. When you guy them. It should be a brand new one. I’ve been a BM fan since my days in the Military. Some models are better than others. I love the Bugout. But not a fan of the stock scales. I love the carbon fiber one though! I have several different BM knives. The discontinued 555 is my personal favorite. But I do have a $30 Amazon unbranded clone of the bugout. And am impressed with it. Sure it’s no where near as nice. And like you said with these, I have no idea what the steel is. I’d probably guess 440c. But after break in, the action is nice. Doesn’t hold edge terribly well. But easy to sharpen quickly. I think it would be just fine for anyone who wants or likes the design but can’t or won’t spend $200 for a real one. I’d assume these Temu ones are on par with the Amazon clone. Not a bad knife for the price! And rock on man! You to!

Yeah the real bugouts frn scales flex. To the point where you can touch both scales together.

@@kaifriesen2664 thanks for sharing. Take care

@@kaifriesen2664 it definitely has some flex to it. But that’s also part of the design. It’s a sub 2oz knife. That’s part of the appeal. Sure there’s countless aftermarket scales. Some better functioning. Some make the axis lock harder to use. But nearly all add bulk. Taking away from the slim light knife. Benchmade themselves know this. That’s why you can buy factory ones with a variety of scales

Thank you for sharing and watching. For the money spent I’m not disappointed with the edge of most of them. We will see how they hold up and sharpen up after.

My next Temu purchase is probably going to be a survival knife. I’ll see how the edge is and holds up. Not a bad idea for a maintenance grind to keep up with sharpness! Thanks for watching and take care

Definitely handy to always have one, or 10. I figured I’d see how some super cheap ones stacked up. Thanks for watching bro

Thanks so much, I greatly appreciate it! Take care and be safe out there

I sharpened up the dull ones and will use them just like any other tool.

Thank you and take care

I recall it being a little firmer in nature but then again I didn’t have a real comparison. The second clone I opened felt more “real” as the scales seemed a little stronger. I’ll have to look into hogue knives a little more, I do have one that’s a few years old now and still serving well. Thanks for sharing and take care.

@@CarrieWard-ny1zl I’ll have to check that out, that is for that. Be safe out there and take care

That’s the way I look at it honestly. Good work around knife and tool. No hard feeling if broken or damaged. Thanks for watching and take care

At 15$ can be expendable and can get another without having to worry about it

@@CarrieWard-ny1zl I could, for science of course

@@RandoWayne yes, in the name of science 🫡, then it would only be scientific to grab a real one for comparison🤭somebody’s wife is going to be pissed😆

@@CarrieWard-ny1zl 😬

That’s a great question and idea. I get that they may just be dull and if I sharpen and then use and cut and see how it holds. I can try that.

Fake or not it’s one legit knife!

Well I guess I get to have minimal fun for a short time

clean it grease it n tighten it up

@@Bbradey-l4q I mean, it’s totally possible

@@jeffthomas5291 I feel it wasn’t money wasted in all honesty. Was worth a roll of the dice and a few are really quite usable.

@@micheletremonti2434 honestly it’s anyone’s guess at this point?

That’s a decent amount of time. What sucked the most? Just overall knife quality or usability

Quality most. Poor fit & finish, poor ergos, poor edge, iffy edge retention, everything. 2 of the 10 would have passed for light use carries for non-knife guys.

Dang, well at least you have it a really good trial. Thanks for sharing!

I carried a vg10 endura after carrying k390 and magnacut for 6 months. I'm so spoiled at this point I can't imagine how it would feel to use one of these knives the fixed blades don't look terrible for camping if they were sharpened up I suspect they never completely removed the bur, guessing they're sharpened on big belts.

@@andrewgiunta2182 some sharpening and taking to a leather strap may help them out

No problem, thanks for watching and take care

When I bought these every knife search had these pop up

That’s just part of how fake these are, definitely isn’t even real. That and I’m terrible at spelling 😬.

@@stvbrwn8 fixed! Thanks!

That’s a good idea!

@@user-fc6ci8dh3m I wonder if people actually tried to return stuff to benchmade?

@@RandoWayne I guarantee someone out there either is lacking or someone on a whim tried it.

You’re probably right

Correct , just wearing the brand name

Then I guess it’s good that I got these! I doubt I will but the real thing as I’m like my Swiss tech a lot! Thanks for sharing and watching though, take care

Same thing with cold steel..

I hear that from many Benchmade collectors. 🤷🏽‍♀️ All fed up with Benchmade jacking up their prices like they're pure gold & 🔹 diamonds

lol someone’s mad because they can’t afford them

@@jakehelton8989 i can afford them they just aren’t worth it when you can get better knives with better steel for the same price and in some cases cheaper

Thanks for watching

I didn’t say I was supporting it. Thanks for watching
