Good afternoon from NC.1st time watching one of your videos. Will like & subscribe.I’m interested in finding & buying a good quality clone.Probably a 940. Not looking for a counterfeit with the butterfly & all.Just want to try out that blade style 1st .Make sure it works for me before making the investment .I usually prefer a drop point blade & a smaller knife. Pretty much the exact one you have there ,with the partially serrated blade is a knife that I’d choose . I especially like/want the small Parkerized deep carry pocket clip.Think that is what you have on your knife.?.correct? I will go back and pay attention to the video and look into the sku # on the website or something.Want a real BM eventually.It’s just not in the budget at the moment.Have been getting a bunch of texts from BM ,so I tapped on the link the other day when they released the newest orange & black models in the 940 line.they are nice looking.A bunch of people complain about the price they charge.I don’t want to be in that category(No one is forcing anyone to buy any name brand premium product,be it knife,pair of shoes or anything else. )BUT ,went back to the BM website a few days later & ,if I’m not mistaken,BM raised the price of the new model by $30 a couple of days of the release. I could be wrong about that.. But if not,that seems like BM sprinkling a pinch of salt on a open wound of their brand loyal followers/customers.Hard to understand is all. Anyway…This all started because I recently (2-3 weeks ago)started noticing & got interested in getting 1st axis lock type knife.Never really noticed them before for some reason.Of course,that lead me straight to BM .They were the ones who came up with that lock type 1st ,from what I’ve heard. Thx for sharing & take care.
Not making the strap long enough for cross body was the biggest mistake the extender the sell is also a mistake it puts a buckle on your back which is not ideal for off body carry. However if they make this bag with a longer strap take all my money. Good video bro.
You know, that’s a great point! I didn’t address the length or cross body carry... The XL comes with the extender buckle, but I took it off because I didn’t like the extra buckle feel either. I’ve settled with the Fanny carry method. Maybe there will be a version two in the feature?! Let me know Eberlestock! 😅 Thanks for watching and the comment! 👍🏼
Why not get your money back from eBay. I just ordered a bugout carbon fiber. As soon as i get it if its fake i will contact eBay. They should definitely cover that
I won't ever could buy a knife off Ebay. I get it people have budgets but come on end of the day your buying a knife just buy it brand knew off a reputable website.
On the outside of the box of the fake Benchmade you will find the sticker is usually shiny, there are often discrepancies in the data such as no manufacture date, incorrect model number, etc. Always check out the font on the lettering on the outside of the box. Most obviously the “C” in Benchmade. It will be completely round and real ones have “flats” on the left side of the “C”. Most blatantly will be the T9 torx on the pivot screw. Benchmade is always a T10. If anyone looks at the knives in this video it will be quite obvious. I cannot think of anything else that was not covered in this fine video.
Very sorry to hear about the scam blade some thief sold you, but the blame and shame is all his and, he will receive what’s coming to him for his crimes. The better information is to know where to buy authentic products rather than attempt to decipher a fake from an original. Knowing what to look for in an original is really all that matters.
Thank you! I must naive, as it never occurred to me there would be imposters amongst the genuine! If it weren’t for your vid, I could’ve easily made the same mistake! Makes me wonder about Amazon now!!
I could tell which was fake before the boxes were even opened. For anyone that couldn't catch from just the box then the second the box is opened its IMMEDIATELY obvious. Both the way the booklet is folded as well as the foam inside. Counterfeit companies simply can not mimic the internal foam cutout and style. If you ever come across a fake with the proper protective foam then someone has taken the real knife out and switched it with a fake.
Agreed! The hard think is IF someone doesn't know exactly what to look for. Whether that be their first Benchmade, or the pictures make it look like the real deal. People can and do switch the boxes with a real one, so knowing what to look for at eh actual knife is important. hanks for the comment. Cheers.
eBay is like 50% knockoff Bugouts from what I can tell. One thing you didn’t point out and a dead-giveaway- the model number on the fakes is often or always just “535”. The 535 should only be the basic blue, anything else should be 535-something. Great video, I hate all the fakes out there. And reporting them to eBay like I do constantly is often fruitless as they don’t seem to care about the authenticity. It’s a damn shame.
That's a good thought! I think an improved tailswitch would make this the perfect option. The current one is very sensitive and rounded. If they put a modified Saber tailswitch on this, I think it would be perfect.
That's exactly right, Greg! I wish I had been more careful and had this knowledge before buying this on eBay... However, I hope to help others be aware of these copies out there, and purchase wisely. *** I forgot to mention, I reported this fake to the seller, and he gave me my full refund!
who cares for the steel used for the blade when the lock and scales are not sturdy enough for anything serious. I only cut paper boxes with my bugouts anyway. but I am also in EU and do not see the point of importing an overpriced knife from US if I can get something like a Kizer Gemini for half the price that is much sturdier
I believe the steel is super important if cuttability, edge retention, longevity, etc. matters to the end user. I'd agree that it is not the sturdiest EDC knife, but its lightweight feel is super nice for normal UDC (urban day carry) use. My Benchmade Griptilian, or a solid fixed blade would be much better for serious outdoor application.. Yes, I think the price is too high also, it should be $100-125 US range in my mind. Overall a great construction, but I'd be interested in stronger metal (aluminum) OD scales perhaps... Cheers!
I'm glad that you like Kizer knives, I love mine as well. However, I think that you have made a great argument in favor of the Bugout. While cutting "paper boxes" the edge geometry and blade steel are of great importance for efficient slicing and the lock and scales also are standing up to the task. Stay sharp my friend!
Thanks for the comment! The Acebeam Pokelit does look very similar, your right. Do you have one? Thoughts on it? The specs show that the Acebeam Pokelit has 550 Lumens on High and the ThruNite Saber has 659 Lumens on High. These would both be great in a head-to-head comparison!
@@ThePracticalPilgrim yes I have the high cri pokelit! It’s a very nice flashlight I caught on sale for like $16. I also have their tac AA that I like even better. I have an old trunite t10 that I have carried for years I still use.
www.canteros.nz/collections/pipe-tobacco Every pipe smoker has to report this site above as a fishing site , Imagine the 1 tin price is 156 $ nz !!!!! lets cut the bullshits off.
2 years later, let me guess, even at home you mostly use the PSQ and the full-size mostly stays on the shelf. I've had my hands on pretty much all premiums...nothing beats the PSQ!
Ichabod actually, I exclusively use the full size. And rarely use the PSQ. The large font and size in my hands feels so much better than the small bible. Blessings!
Agreed. I love these scriptures too (i.e. the whole counsel of God): "Now may God give you of the dew of heaven, And of the fatness of the earth, And an abundance of grain and new wine;" - Genesis 27:28 "And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart." Psalm 104:15
@@ThePracticalPilgrim that verse is talking about juice my friend. God tells us not to even look on alcoholic wine. Fermented wine. Wine in the Bible can refer to juice or alcoholic wine. God does not want his people to be drinking alcohol. That's ridiculous!
@@jfindlay333 I'm sorry friend, but you cannot say wine was only juice... It was fermented, as all juice was preserved through fermentation. It contained alcohol, otherwise God would not warn his people to not drink too much wine and get drunk. Drinking wine (alcohol) is not the problem, the heart is. Anything can become an idol: food, wine, sex, RU-vid, and even unbiblical traditions... God bless.
@@ThePracticalPilgrim I didn't say it was only juice. I said the KJV uses wine for both fermented wine (alcohol) and non fermented grape juice. Guess you'll have to explain Proverbs 23:31-33 King James Version (KJV) 31 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. 32 At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder. 33 Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things.
@@ThePracticalPilgrim Isaiah 65:8 King James Version (KJV) 8 Thus saith the Lord, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants' sakes, that I may not destroy them all. New wine is "in the cluster"
Welcome back bother! I love the space you have there! I have been working on basement for the past month, and I need to keep a whiskey shelf in the plans! Great review, I am a big fan of balance in anything.
I just got a tin of this and love it. It's got a great complexity of flavors with many dimensions. A touch of sweetness and smokiness. Lane Limited Andullo is my alltime favorite, and this is what I will be alternate it with. Love it.
I really love your videos. I got a few tins of the PP Bourbon Barrel Aged in the mail yesterday but haven’t smoked any yet. Seems right up my alley! I am intrigued by the thought of a nice tobacco aged in a Laphroaig barrel! Cool idea brother.
Thanks for the heads up, I was surprise to see smoking pipes still has not gotten this tobacco yet. As soon as I saw your video I went online and grabbed two as well! Enjoy your first impression review! Can’t wait to get my tins 👍🏼😁
It's a shame this doesn't come in a ribbon. The tobacco is very good but the plug is truly a headache to break apart without creating a mess. I had to throw the plug into a grinder to break it apart as trying to use a knife was looking like a good way to destroy a table or lose ones fingers.
I bought some C&D, Seersucker (which is now my absolute favorite) and it's a plug, too. Tried cutting it with a kitchen knife but that didn't work so well. So I bought this knife from Amazon which works great.. So now, cutting it is just part of the ceremony. Or for tobaccos I know I'm going to smoke through pretty quick I just cut down the whole brick when I open the tin. www.amazon.com/dp/B07SHN469N/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_nZYNFb2NMPEYB?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Great review, thank you for sharing. Sad to hear about the B&M going out of business. I definitely try and support mine when I can, but the state imposed taxes makes it hard for them to compete :( The way I see it is that I'm paying for the experience while I smoke some there and hang out. Something I can't do online. 💯👊💥👍
Schuyler makes the best bibles , im very happy that they are going thinner with designs now. Allans are awesome BUT if you ever decide to get one be carful and make sure you get the Jongbloed editions. Some of the Charfleet bound ones are iffy and with China book blocks for certain translations, I'm a huge fan of yapps and Allan makes the best yapped out covers. Their best bibles are the KJV Longprimer and Nasb Reader editions. Nice journal brother and hi from Silverton OR.😉
Where are you at and what priority shipping did you choose? I just received two Schuyler Canterbury KJV Bibles (full size) delivered together in one USPS Priority Mail medium sized box and the shipping was $14.00. Shipping from VA to TX took about 3 business days. Ordered on evangelicalbible.com
