Milwaukee tradesman knife hard use test with surprising outcome 

I think this knife is so strong because its not worried about edge retention or fance handle scales. If I ever see them in stock i would buy one and make a leather sheath for it.

Nice little $15 knife. Milwaukee has their name on the line so they want anything with their name on it to be tough as well as affordable. Great success! I really want to get the Milwaukee duct knife. It's $20, and I saw another youtuber review and tested it with good results as well 😏👍

I think your testing methods are fair and consistent, which is what matters most in my opinion in order to determine results. There are some channels who go crazy with their testing methods, doing absolute destruction tests that break every knife they test. Granted, I consider that to be "entertainment" rather than educational. Most people aren't using their knives to that level of abuse. As far as being a "safety sally" is concerned, like you I also wear gloves when doing daft things with my knives. However, that's more because I have terrible hand-eye-coordination and I'm more likely to harm myself than damage the knife...lol 🤣Anyway, I'm rambling again so I must digress. I watch all your videos start to finish and I think you're spot on with your commentary. Thanks and Cheers!

The fact is I can burn thru about 20 of these before I end up getting close to the price of other knives you recommend as "quality". For a utilitarian device, it's pretty damn good

Hell yea Brother! Here to the end and thanks for the Shoutout!👊

I have the Milwaukee duct knife which is similarly constructed, so I wasn't very surprised. I'll have to grab me one.

For the price, it's hard to beat.

8 Cr Mov is Chinese stainless steel which has a steel chemistry close to Japanese AUS 8. A decent steel if properly heat treated. I'm impressed with your results. Thanks for sharing and all the best.

That's the type of knife you'll find in a old toolbox with the tip twisted off and for some reason whoever sharpened it decided to grind the whole side of the blade

@11:55 "tip hasn't grown back yet" 🙂👍🇬🇧

No that is a hard used test!!! Can't believe it was still getting thru the paper a bit after that, thanks to ole Frank for recommending this!!!

Milwaukee had no clue what they made here.. it’s a wonderful knife for all uses and it throws like a dream it’s a wood magnet. It sticks like tape I’m telling ya

That knife for price has already passed the test,no doubt be good work knife,etc,

That was impressive. Milwaukee has a "splitting" axe. There is I believe one review on RU-vid. I'd be really interested to see you review it.

Actually really want one. Perfect size for a ton of uses, nice belly out towards the tip, no recurve for hassle free sharpening. Shame you can't really get them in the UK. We can get Hulatfors work knives (which are all fantastic knives, btw), but I'm getting bored of scandi ground blades. If the heat treat is any good, I may just have to try & import one.

I am heading to home Depot right now😅

For a knife that's only $15 it does great job the narration at the beginning almost made me put away is bad guy just comes off as a snob. I should probably watch some more videos though could just be a bad first impression. Over all the test was pretty good

I’m pretty shocked how well it did.

That knife 🔪 took a beating and kept on working

In Romania it is almost the three time the price more expensive, because we are stupid buyers. :) very good knife,

Very nice great knife for what they costs!

Don't question the dbad!

dam good knife for the money u can't beat it

Started the video calling it a piece of crap, ended the video with a million dollar endorsement LOL.

Good knife for the price

Some of this stuff is like trying to tow a house with a bicycle. That knife wasn't built to write letters on a piece of paper.

Considering your plan was destroy it, you failed. For the price, it looks well worth the money!

👍

ya cant beat it for a 15.00 knife

That was only 9 stabs in the filing cabinet 😅

I don't know. The stab wood and lay it over test is kind of like use it as a screwdriver test. Just don't use my knives that way.

Hello. Nice piece of junk. May I have it? 🙏

F+++ it, I'm buying 1

First!

It would of been smarter to hold the knife on the log. And beat the split log onto the blade. Instead of beating the blade intl the split log. Try that next time save your knife.

No es especialmente bueno,la punta se dobla facil

For $15 knife its tough enough

Love the knife, but can’t stand the guy using it.

JOE X does a more hardcore testing..

So you spent 20 minutes proving this little knife is a great knife for $15-$30, but a poor substitute for a felling ax or splitting maul. No surprises there! Question (to anyone) from someone who has spent most of a lifetime outdoors...why is the practice of batoning so popular lately? Wood and other fuel resources is commonly available in the wild in all diameters and sizes suitable for most camping requirements. Heavier sections can often be split by other methods such as impact on hard surfaces, improvised mauls and wedges, etc. Why risk damaging a valuable resource (knife) in such an activity. I often wonder how Native Americans and ancient populations around the world managed to thrive with what must have been a very limited capacity to baton wood. Stone and obsidian knives with fine cutting capabilities would probably fail miserably in a batoning contest. Others are welcome to ponder this question and reply if inclined...but as for me, I'm heading down to homecenter now because their website says they have 6 of these in stock. That ought to be enough to get me started...these would also make great gifts. Hope they can get more back in stock soon.
