I bought the highest rated EDC gear from Temu! (I have issues...) 

Exactly. Another comment mentioned doing the lowest rated gear. And I think that’s a great idea

It probably looks the same, but under a different brand. 🤣

Ah great idea. I might grab some pouches and bags from Temu and compare. Thanks for the idea 👍🏻

Hell yes

NoTE tO SeLf: DoNt BuY aNy TeMu oR wIsH pRoDuCTs. 😂 thanks captn obvious

I buy stuff off there but NOTHING mission critical 😂

Mission accomplished

I never picked up the professional version but I have the V2 and love it. But I always find myself going back to a traditional whetstone and strop. It just works flawlessly

It says work sharp, not workshop, I was looking at it too the little red and yellow Carrie sharpener tell me how was it? They got the same thing with three different prices with three different names being the more expensive one and I’m sure workshop has them built in China. It’s built in China, then Timu probably has a line on it, but if it’s a Kershaw and says made in USA and you’re buying it from China, I would question that but I wanna see it on video

🤣

That’s a Dessert Warrior Civivi Elementum. Made to look like a Donut. Yes, with a little class 👍🏻

lol seriously?

🤣

If not the tool itself, then the weakest spot between the tool, point of attachment, etc.

Yes, I've a few molle pouches and they seem fine for the money

It’s part of the Dessert Warrior series. Bought it from Blade HQ

Well that’s exactly why I made this video, don’t ya think? And there are good $30 knives out there but for the most part those are just beater knives anyway.

I expected exactly what I got. But was hoping for more since it was the highest rated…

I get where you're coming from, but there's something that bugs some of us regarding what you brought up. Sure, the materials, etc., aren't going to be as good in a cheap knife. But it doesn't cost more to design a knife so that it opens completely, or for it to more or less be centered when opened. I don't care that my $9 BassPro SAK mini knock-off has a blade that is barely better than tinfoil. Again, you get what you pay for, and it DOES cut. I care that the freakin' scissors are janky and useless. They have one purpose. If they aren't built for that one purpose, it's no longer a matter of it being my fault for spending less on scissors. It's their fault for not delivering the tool they promised. Perhaps they invented paper and gunpowder centuries ago, but somehow can't pull off a decent pivot point. Similarly, in clothing, why does the $100 merino wool base layer top fit so much better than the $25 blend one when, again, fit doesn't cost anything to fix that? It's just a matter of spending the same money building a piece of clothing based on a slightly different pattern. And it's not about trademarks or patents. This is China we're talking about. They do what they want. So it's really about caring so little that a company doesn't even care to hit the bare minimum design cues that should be able to be achieved regardless of price. This isn't to attack you or your position. I understand it. I'm just offering a little insight into the minds of those of us who do have a bit of an issue with this sort of thing. Take care.

And that's the trick, "seller". Just like ANY 3rd party site, looking at the SELLER RATINGS is just as important as looking at the product ratings. E-Bay (and everywhere else), is just the same.

Wow. You received a much better item than I did

Maybe they've been sourcing their QC to Wish. It's probably the building next door, so ... 🤣

You’re right. I faked cutting my finger. Nothing gets by this guy! 🙄

I don’t know! You tell me! 🤣

@@ChrispyThings lol, WHA???.........................nevermind

Not actually true.

I haven’t bought a Cold Steel since the change in ownership

Thanks! Can I close the gate?

Thank you. Is that supposed to be an insult or something?

Well, Sherlock Holmes, this video was recorded months ago. Do you by any chance think that things may have changed since then? You think I’m full of it, and I think you have too much f’n time on your hands.

@@ChrispyThings says a month...sherlock

I said what I said

Yeah sure bud. This knife is beyond a pivot adjust. Anyways I review knives how I receive them. If they want me to adjust a knife straight out the box, they better put me in the f’n payroll. Ya feel me? Oh, and bl*w me. 😂
