No, the compass does work. It points to what you want most.

"Ok, it's time to take the knife outside and see what it can do" -next shot with him holding the knife and the dog. ._.

Now review the cheapest tent and go camping with the items in this series. It would surely be an interesting video.

The soothing sound of Jeff Goldblum criticizing a seven dollar knife on the Internet

3:11 “I wonder what’s in this capsule!” **as white powder comes out of it*

Maybe the friction and vibration caused the nut inside to loosen? Maybe put some thread locker on the bolt and give it another chance. You have to touch up the high end knifes and axes, so why are you expecting a 7 dollar knife to be box ready?

the best survival knife is the one you have on you when you need it

When you're stuck out in the woods, any knife is better than no knife.

*knife passes every test* "this knife is garbage" wha-

I got this knife as a gift and I must have been living a good life as it worked well for what it is. The compass worked, I took out the tube and added my own mini-gear. I added Lock-Tite to the nut component just in case. The "saw" was used for scaling fish. It was pretty tasty after using the matches and some laundry lint to start a fire going. The knife was not made for batoning or throwing. Occasionally I'll change the gear inside. My latest was adding a micro-mini light.

I bought knife for $450 on CS:Go and I can't even cut tomato

Cheapest and best survival knife on earth , you can unscrew the tap and throw it to your enemy to end him rightly!

6:11 First time I actually heard a dog go "woof"

i had a survival knife just like this as a kid. I wrapped the entire handle in cord and found there was enough room for twice as many survival supplies inside. The coolest trick with these knives is you will notice the handguard has two holes, You can unscrew the bottom cap take out your survival kit stick a stick up the tube and use some of the cord to tie through the holes to retain the knife so you have a spear.

7:52 looking through his tinder

6:03, holding his dog with his knife at its neck: “lets take it out for a field test.”

serrations are fish scalers!

I was really hope you were going to try and catch a fish with that fishing line. Now that would've been entertaining!

"Common Man's Survival Kit" series would be nice too. Rather than the cheapest, maybe a good $200+ Kit that is dependable. Thanks

For me, the beast budget survival knife is the Mora companion. My friend suggested taping a berocca tube with mini survival kit on the holster.

instead of matches, it should be equipped with a flint rock.

5:59 JESUS I THOUGHT HE WAS GONNA KILL THE DOG

by the gods that knife has a unscrewable pommel, now i can end my foes rightly in a more compact package! 10/10 would throw at ruffians in a duel

my old friend used to say something about baton methods. "if you are ever in a situation where the only possible way to split wood is to baton your knife, then your situation is FUBAR and you should definitely not risk damaging your knife." batoning can damage even high quality knives or cause injury especially if you try it with such a short blade. the chances are low, but its a chance that you really don't need to take. just use smaller pieces of wood until you can get bigger pieces going. takes like 5 minutes longer...

Well turns out Wranglerstar likes AC/DC covers

im pretty sure the needle and thread was to stich yourself up but hey you can soe a button also..

Durability was compromised for sure, but overall it seems to have passed the tests. I'd like to see you submerge it in water to see if it would flood the inside of the handle through the junction point with the blade. It would render the rubber loop useless because water would enter from the other side, however there would still be a capsule trying to keep water away from the matches and stuff.

Using your only knife for splitting wood in survival situation is Darwin award worthy.

I bought the exact same knife from my friend for like five bucks and its like a foot longer, literally the exact same, knife compass and all its just a huge buck knife version. I hide my weed in the secret compartment in it.

It's a shame it doesn't come with Lifeboat matches - those things are much more dependable in survival situations.

Harbor freight has a large one for about 8.00

Sorry, but NO ! For 7$ this is a pretty good knife. "So what do we learn ?" We learn that you need to inform yourself about the product you order. 1. The size is clearly discribed and the knife can be ordered in 3 different sizes. You have the small one. Medium is the standard survival knife size you expected and large is a 41cm big knife. 2. It was clear that the handle is hollow and comes with stuff inside. 3. The matches came in a small plastic bag for a reason. You didn´t put it back in but directly into the plastic capsule so there was no protection from moisture. 4. A compass in a metal housing can work, because the housing is aluminum and not iron. Not every metal is magnetic. One thing is true so: The compass doesn´t work. But besides that, for 7$ this knife is pretty good unless you believe a 7$ knife can do the job of an axe.

1:01 thats what she said

Didn't realize you were so good at throwing knifes Cody. Nice! should do a video on that..

$7 real knife that has purpose vs $200 pixels on cs:go

The serrations are meant to cut rope or vines, so yea in a sense, “sawing”

better than no knife I guess

Why didnt you tighten the nut? To See if Its a permanent damage or if you just Need it To be tight

"@ $7 you cannot get a survival knife ... @ amazon" amazon carries morakniv 511 and 546 for about $10 usually, or $7 every now and then. made in sweden. good for shaving from the factory, will baton wood all day long, and the scandi grind is easy to sharpen without fancy tools or skills. true, the handle doesn't open, but if you can do without a compass that doesn't show north, you just cannot beat the mora as a basic bushcraft/survival knife. did i mention it is made in sweden?

The knife can split the wood without breaking But don't hit the handle or it will break Or just fricking tighten the screw !

The things on the back in the shape of a "U" I believe is called jimping. It is commonly used in knives to allow the user to have more control over the knife being used by putting ones thumb on the back of the jimping. It's NOT used as a saw and or cutting device. It IS for your thumb or finger to be placed on it for better grip when whittling wood or cutting things. Like so wrangler star can see if.

That is definitely at most 6 pound fishing line. I have 12 pound line on my current pole and it's way thicker than that

Tell it like it is, brother. Harbor Freight sells a knife that is virtually identical. I have never tested it to its limits. For average use, it's not bad for the price.

I got one of these from harbor freight. no black inner thing, but same where it counts. personally i just have it by my bed, but the best part of this is that there is plenty of space to add to it. look up pill bottle survival kits, can fit about the same amount into the handle. Honestly, it held up better than i would expect to your testing. pair it with a good hatchet and I think you're set.

swedish mora kniv (mora knife) is better...

You won't need that broken compass if you know how to use those sewing needles in a pool of water.

My biggest problem with all your survival tests is you strike matches like a 10 year old. To prevent breaking and make bad matches light, you put your finger over the tip, strike, then lift your finger as it’s lighting

Wranglerstar: “You can’t get a survival knife for $7.” Me: *laughs in Mora*

its a $8 and you expect to use it as an axe with no troubles

If you're looking for a cheap knife and you don't already know guys, you cant go wrong with a Mora Companion heavy duty it's a great knife and is very cheap

Question: when testing sharpness, you seem to always push the blade through the piece of paper, then see if it will slice. Why? The way I've always done it, and seen it done, is to slice into an unsupported edge of the paper.

You get what you pay for ! Prayers to you and yours Cody!!!!

Return the compass to Captain Sparrow mate.

I'm not sure why you buy the cheapest products on Amazon, beat the garbage out of it and then complain that it doesn't meet your standards.

You can tighten the blade. If you look through the bottom of the handle you'll see a nut. If you tighten it, it will fix the blade.

8:02 If this really happened and all you had was the broken match tip you could sort of bundle the tinder loosely, lay the striker down, then lay the sulfur match tips upon the striking pad, then squeeze the bundle a little and place it over the striking pad and match tips, and lightly rub the match tips across the striker while using the kindling as a makeshift wooden rod ( just like what the matchstick does) and hopefully the sulfur will ignite burning up enough into the fluffy kindling material. Problem solved.

The bigger version is available at Harbor freight for around $12.

Serrated knives, with their scalloped, toothlike edge, are ideal for cutting through foods with a hard exterior and softer interior, such as a loaf of crusty bread. The principle behind a serrated knife is similar to that of a saw: The teeth of the blade catch and then rip as the knife smoothly slides through the food. That is what the Serrated part of a knife is used for!

hide ur weed in that bihh

The shape of the knife is very good. If it were 25% longer, had a firm connection point blade-grip and matches that worked, it would be a very good survival knife, I think

Zippo makes an axe that doubles as a saw, I would love to see a good stress test of that before I think about buying one. Keep the good videos coming!

Your voice in this video really reminds me of Jeff Goldblum! 😂👍🏼

Does anyone else get the feeling that some times he doesn't know what he's talking about but acts like he does

I think it is a pretty good deal for the price. You really don't need to split logs in a survival situation. If you got a fire going, they usually burn just fine without doing so. Another thing is, with a hollow hilt like that, it is easy to use as a spear head, screwed down on the top of a straight cut down and delimbed sapling. If you are in cougar or bear country, it would help put some distance between an a dangerous wild animal. You could also use it to spear fish as well. Also the compass seem to being pointing north in same direction each time you moved it around. You said you knew the direction of north was what was showing east. So knowing that, you could still use the compass!

You only get a Cadillac if you pay Cadillac prices. This was more like a Yuego!

if your compass is close to metal than it magnetizes that and it won't have a accurate direction

This series is great

My father always used the serrations on the back for scaling fish, always thought that’s what it was for. Also works well on fire rod, spares the blade edge!

Lol I love the “thunder” at the beginning 😂

love these review. cause I'm cheap..

I have a gigantic version of that same knife the blade is the size of the knife you bought. I got mine at harbor freight for $10.

The heavy serrations are for sawing through aircraft fuselage if you’ve been in a plane crash apparently. Either that or they’re from the previous bayonet design and are meant to cause a wound that won’t close.

Goes all out to abuse and break the knife, it doesn't break and he declares it junk. I mean really! You have to take account of the price mate, in a survival situation this knife would serve well for months and save your life if treated with a tiny bit of respect instead of treating it like an axe.

The moment I realized it was a hollow grip I wrote it off as junk. If I'm in a situation requiring everything in the grip, I want a full tang so the knife holds up. I break grip scales, I can carve new ones to at least keep be going. Having it hollow like that makes it easier to snap. Put the survival kit in a part of the sheath. The high ratings are because it's mall ninja bling.

6:00 time to do our field test; today we will be skinning a dog

I own a $30 K Bar style knife that I bought from Amazon that actually impressed me quite a bit. If you occasionally camp and need something for moderate use then there’s no point spending upwards of $150, so Amazon can actually hook you up in that regard. However, for $10-30 more you can go on a site that has discounts like Blade HQ and get yourself a knife like the Cold Steel SRK for only $10 more dollars. In other words, you can leave Amazon and find knives still in the $30-$40 price range and walk away much happier.

I bought a knife almost the exact same as that one but bigger for 6$ at harbor freight

"What have we learned?" It's not an axe... who knew?

"If I reach down in the pants, there's always some sort of... organic cocaine in here, let's see if i lights"

10:51 You can keep a bit extender, handle and bit inside the body so that when your POS knife gets loose you will have everything you need to tighten it back up!

is he testing the knife IN the Amazon or did he find the knife ON Amazon

They are fun little knives. I had one when I was a kid. My boys each have one. The boys' dont have the AMAZING plastic neon green camo sheath I had with mine though! 😂😂

I have 2 of these knifes. They are actually decent.

as a knife maker i would know the notches on the top are call thumb jim-pings there so you can choke up on the blade to do fine detail work and get more control of the tool

did really well considering the price point I thought

Who else said “that’s what she said” like 5000 times when he was splitting the wood?

How was it garbage when passed all the test wtf

The serated section next to the hilt is so you can tie it to a long pole/stick with paracord to make a makeshift spear for hunting.

if you was in a survival situation and found this knife you would like the knife then

How did you find my CSGO skin?

Harbor fright has a larger version of it.

They are not serations for sawing, from what I understand they are put on fighting knives to rip open the wound upon exiting the target, so your targets wound is worse.

he didn't do the hair shaving test

love the dog, the knife not so much.

harbour freight sells a bigger version of that knife

My humble Western Cutlery W84's have batonned many a piece of wood, but they are rugged, full tang, and relatively thick blades. I make no apologies for batoning the heck out of wood a lot. I'm a bow maker as well as making other things and it's a valuable technique.

Is it not triggering anyone else the fact that the voiceover is after the unboxing but he's pretending that it isn't xD

That looks like the kinda knife a 10 yr old grandson of Rambo would carry

the thing you saw with is used for stabbing and grinding the inside of a hum"... animal
