@jlauffer Actually yes, the OP should explain why they think the knife is “garbage” instead of relying on someone to come along and dump a bunch of YouTube videos and expecting all of us to watch all of them. The OP said the knife was garbage but didn’t state why. The onus is on the OP to make their case. You don’t agree?Yes, the OP should reinvent the wheel when there is plenty of existing evidence to support his position
The Mora firesteel is about twice the cost of the knife. that is crazy.
You asked why and then refused to watch the evidence provided. I completely understand not wanting to watch through a bunch of YouTube videos, but it's absurdly entitled to demand evidence, be provided evidence, then refuse to look at it while still insisting that you're owed some explanation. At that point it certainly looks like you're just demanding someone spoon-feed you rather than bringing up any real objection.
You really think it isn’t possible to explain in a short paragraph why the knife is garbage? This isn’t YouTube, it’s a knife forum… where people write things. It isn’t a dumping ground for homework assignments like watching a handful of video clips.
You asked why, multiple people answered in a variety of different ways and you continue to throw a tantrum because they won't do it in a way that you find acceptable. Hell, it was done in a single written sentence for you earlier in the thread.
Lol no one here is throwing a tantrum except the person having a meltdown because I won’t watch a bunch of YouTube videos and shut up about the knife.
Since you seem to struggle with reading replies I've collected a few for you explaining this.
You still don’t get it, so this will be my last response to you: All knives will break if you abuse them, some break when you don’t. WHY the knife breaks is the root cause of the issue. Poor steel? Heat treat? Abuse by the owner? Something else?
Maybe you could watch the provided videos and you would find out why. I'm not surprised that didn't occur to you, but here we are. Have a good dayYou still don’t get it, so this will be my last response to you: All knives will break if you abuse them, some break when you don’t.

I’m sorry but “Derr it broke, stop asking why” isn’t going to fly with me… and I’m a little surprised you seem to be bashing me for asking the OP to explain why the knife is garbage instead of asking the OP why they think the knife is garbage. Actually, no, I’m not surprised.. but that’s another story. Have a good day
If the OP had included those videos in his post, his "onus" would have been more than satisfied, yet you admit that you won't watch them, so doesn't really matter who posted them. The evidence is clear, and like they say, a picture (video in this case) is worth a thousand words. Not the OPs fault you'd rather argue about it than see the proof for yourself.
Exactly. I’d take it if I needed it. It has a fire starter and sharpener. Surely it will get the job done as long as people aren’t batoning with it.
The OP said the knife was garbage.
Phased plasma rifle in the 40 watt range. In case of Decepticons.
This is true.
Exactly. You get what you pay for. Some people expect to buy a $20-$30 knife that says “survival” on it and act surprised when they can’t baton it through branches or split logs in half. It’s a gerber you can buy at Wally World, not an Esee Junglas. The sort of person that knife is marketed toward isn’t climbing Everest or hunting Kodiaks in Alaska.
I'm amused that after all this time and all these reviews this needs any explaining.
Only arguing against this particular position. But funny you should mention that when it's basically what you've been doing all over the forum when certain members are involved.
