I have bought bunches of different knives. Over the last 30 years. The last knife I purchased was from top knives called black heat it is what I am carrying now. It cost me 134 dollars new if I remember right. I buy knives off of links on here. Those are good knives as well. My wife thinks I'm nuts. After 33 years of marriages, I have managed to collect a lot of stuff from knives,guns, fishing poles, and reels to everything else. Thanks for this video. You always show practical stuff that is useful. Like that slingshot, I'm going to get one of those. Have a nice day.

I absolutely love the Grand Way too! I keep 2 of them in my game animal kill kit! I got one when you reviewed it back in time, and just had to have another!

I love finding a knife that punches above its price point. And I often find myself excited to modify them, because they're so affordable, I don't feel bad grinding in a new blade shape, or bevel. Often times I modify the sheaths. They're great to have, especially if you have a good knife already that you carry often and just want to explore different skills.

Love these budget knives! A good budget beater is always super worth it. Thanks for shining some light on these!

Whatta honest Channel. 😊 Finally.

Knife culture is a broad category. In simplest terms there are two. You have Colectors who really dont use there knives. Then you have those that do. Those that do are a mixed bag of nuts. Outdoorsman, martial artists, survivalists and a whole lot more. Im a camper a hiker and traveler. I spend alot of time outdoors. I have alot of knives. Your review gives common sense options of reliable knives that wont break the bank but will still get the job done. I usually have no less than 3 knives on me at any given time. For most tasks ill usually grab the practical inexpensive knife. And the seal pup knock off is my favorite of the three. Very good all around utility knife. Thanks for the review, always good common sense information.

Outstanding presentation. I have the SOG and the SRK. 1. If one doesn't abuse a knife, you don't need the brand name or higher quality unit. My name brand name table steak knives did not work. So, I went to Walmart, bought inexpensive and used up cheap knives that worked. Now I went back to more quality and simply arbitrarily sharpen them every few months. 2. you are absolutely correct that carry sheath can be important. Those knives are lightweight. If a vertical carry works for you, great. I prefer behind the back horizontal carry and this often presents real problems no matter what the qualities and price of a knife.

I appreciate your reviews on these affordable knives. Thanks.

I usually have to put a new loop further up the sheath because I want to keep the knife tighter no matter what brand. Knives are as personal as it gets,I believe that the perfect one calls to you.

I get almost all of my knives from Amazon--most recently, a Mossy Oak 8" fixie, 4" blade, for pocket carry (in a deep pocket!)---$18. They also offer some great budget folders from Flissa, Eafengrow, and Nedfoss.

Love those budget fixed blades.

Great review. Nice work on cheaper alternatives for blades. Two thumbs up

Great video I like those knives 1 and 3 in particular

Nice presentation! Thanks

We use knives like this for camping and fishing. If it breaks or gets lost no worries and easily replaceable.

Great video. Thanks again for sharing.

My wishlist says "WTG". My budget says "maybe next year". Thanks for the suggestions.

Excellent video 📹!!!

You can store them in nylon with out worries leather tend to mess with the steel.😊

thank ya, i like the GrandWay one and am about to backpack across country on a budget. So this was helpful

I Love Your videos! I finally found a site (yours) that deals with practicality. There are sites out there promoting knives that break the bank, not for the average guy. I have really good blades, but sometimes you want a "beater." Thanks again for another awesome video. God Bless You, Brother!

Thanks! I don't own any of these, but now I see that Grandway, maybe I will.

Thanks for the video. I haven't bought many knives on Amazon. I like the idea of being able to get numerous inexpensive but functional fixed-blade knives. They can be cached around the house for use as needed. If one had a hunting cabin somewhere, caching a few there would be a good idea. At these prices, one could even cache a few on public land somewhere. If the knives became lost, the financial loss wouldn't be that much. If one had to retrieve them for use someday, they would be very helpful to have.

Watching from A.B 🇨🇦 wish i had the same options as you do

M-Tech makes some pretty nice budget double edge daggers. I got one with wooden handle, stainless steel solid finger guard and it's hollow ground both sides making the edges very sharp. I just keep it as a self defense knife or boot knife. They make then with rubber handles too for Cheap.

Mtech typically uses decent steel and good tempering. I can't complain about their fixed blade karambits and emergency saw/pry knife.

M-tech is a pretty good cheap knife.. i like the last one with a little bit of serration on the bottom..serration is always good cheap or not for ripping stuff open...

Well first of all the grandway looks like the best one. That amtech I believe comes in a bunch of colors and I've seen those before but never had one and Zen seal pup is cheaper than the same one sold as the new Bear Grylls Survival Knife. I would buy one of those and use it before I use the seal pups now that the prices have gone up. The same goes for the grandway, it be good to mess around with it before using a buck Vantage. I think they would also be good loners particularly for people that don't know how to treat nice properly or that you know may damage you are a knife. I don't know how long lasting or durable than any of them would be but you could stock a good supply of those in case there's an emergency and you need a knife you can loan somebody

Those are so cheap you could replace them as soon as they go blunt. Or give one as payment for sharpening the other one. Either way you're not going worry about scratches or anything. Just keep them scattered around. One in the car One in a toolkit One in a backpack Like I do with bic lighters

I'd take the MTech because it's the only full tang.

You might’ve heard of this one before but check out the Glock 81 field knife

I found a generic version of the Benchmade SOCP dagger on Amazon. I just typed in "boot knife" and it came up. I can't find a review on it anywhere. Says it's 420C steel. If you see it, and fancy it, I'm sure everyone would like to get to know it.

👍

I was given a bowie-style knife with a synthetic grip. The plastic softened and got tacky. I replaced it with walnut. I will never buy another knife with synthetic handle.

Would like you to talk/explain abt knife steel quality labeling. Think you've mentioned b4. Fixed blades are mostly illegal for EDC in my state. I have one for hunting/camping. Have two SOG folding knives for EDC. Also a DeWalt & a Snap-on folders. The Snap-on blade is labeled: 7Cr17MoV. Tried to find info abt blade steel codes. Didn't find much of anything. For example, is there a good, better, best rule of thumb? Thanks. 🤔🤔🤔

What are some beginner slingshots you would recommend I wanna get back into slinging I use to be be better when I was a kid

Have you tried out anything from Flissa? They’re newer on the scene and have some quality stuff all under 30 bucks.

I don't own these knives and can afford avg $100 knives. I did buy a Chinese made Cold Steel (Which gives me no faith in it apart from a poker) but over all I find the worst knives come from Pakistan/India, second worst from China. Where I would start for cheap blades would be Taiwan as they seem to have better companies, the Ontario RAT folders (I and II) are excellent low cost EDC blades. While not tacticool, Morakniv and Opinel brands are still the best bang for the buck. BPS knives from the Ukraine are budget bushcraft knives and I own three.

the mtech it s an very hight value bushcraft knife at low cost!!

Question for you, just curious on these three knives, Grand Way, mtect and the zen. Have you ever tried to see how they throw? How good is the balance on them. Or Are they too light and best suited for everyday task? I was just curious.

Flyssa

Love your channel brotha! I just started making videos myself wish me luck😂

Is the grand way a full tang or rat tail tang?

I really prefer either a leather or nylon sheath. I cannot stand the plastic sheaths. Most rattle and make noise. I realize they have there application and purpose though, such as military. Mostly im just carrying or hunting and want the assurance of being quiet. I dont mind a cheap knife as long as it stays sharp a reasonable amount of use. If I tear it up, or lose it, not much lost. $$. I do wish more sheaths would accommodate scout carry though.

The previous knife video had a bunch of knives for $350… whut? 🤣👏

Ordered 3 of these knives from grandway 2 months ago and have not received them

Anybody know a trick that actually works to get rust off of knives?

Inflation is a strange and inconsistent thing. We can now get quality knives for less than a McDonald’s meal costs. Including shipping.

First

While I appreciate the point of the post, I have to say from my experience is that 'M-Tech' is really horrible, dulls quickly and just really cheap junk.

My problem here is that these are all obviously super cheap Chinese copies of better American knives (or at least from American companies.) We worry that we are losing industry and economy in our country and yet we throw so much of our money to countries who hate us and want to weaken us. Instead of paying $15 for a knife you'll use carelessly (because it's only a $15 knife) use what you have now, save a few dollars for a year or two and pay $85 for an American made Buck Vanguard made in an American factory by American workers (trying to feed their families) made from American steel designed by a legendary American knifemaker. We've become too complacent and lazy in this country. If we want life to get better here, we have to be willing to pay the price. part of that price includes NOT giving our money to our enemies if it's possible. Do I have a Vietnamese-made iPhone? Yes, because the few phone makers in our country don't make phones compatible with my local rural phone company. If they did, I'd have one of those. However, my knives are made in places like Wintersville, Ohio (LT Wright) and Golden, Colorado (Spyderco.)

Interesting. Is a knock off a clone? I have mixed feelings about this content, and they’re not great.

All three of these are made of cheap steel. That's how they can offer them at such a good price. The problem is that the don't hold an edge well. I would not trust my life to one of these. Don't be cheap. Get a real quality bushcraft blade.
