This sub-$50 wonder with its 9Cr18MoV steel started at a 10/10 out of the box and barely dropped to a 9/10 after all our abuse. That’s better than knives costing 3x the price with ‘premium’ steels!
I ran this knife through cardboard, sisal rope, reinforced rubber tubing, and even a wooden stick, and this thing just kept on cuttin’ like it was born for it!
Today we’re taking a look at a $20-$30 replica of the legendary Medford Praetorian that typically sells for around $700.
Today we’re cracking open the Win+ Knife – a budget blade that’s flying under everyone’s radar while hiding a revolutionary secret!
With ergonomics so good it practically disappears in your hand, and a tall, slicey blade that’s begging to be put to work, this ain’t your typical budget folder.
Today we’re slicing into the Civivi Baklash – the tactical-looking folder that’s been quietly kicking ass in pockets for 6 years now.
I put this EDC knife through my Redneck Cut Test to see if it slices, dices, or just cries for help.
The Vosteed Raccoon has been making big waves in the EDC knife world, but does it really live up to the hype?
Taking a closer look at the Vosteed Corgi with its unique “Trek Lock”. Let’s take this thing apart!

This Winterblade Factor B3 is cutting like a laser beam now that we’ve reprofiled it down to an 18 degree edge. So lets see how it compares against our other recent M390 blades.
I wanted to run this Winterblade Factor B3 through our Redneck Cut Tests, but it needed a good sharpening first.
This replica Inkosi doesn’t even mention the steel type! But I’m pretty sure the results from this test are going to shock you as much as it shocked me!
I wanted to test this OK-223 (Para 3 style) knife back to back with the OK-81 because they’re both supposed to have the same M-390 steel. The results should be similar, right?
I reprofiled the edge down to a slicey 18 degrees, and it’s cutting paper like a laser beam! But how will it hold up in some real world tests?
One of my strops was in need of a little maintenance, so I figured I would do a quick video showing how I clean and reload the stopping compound to get it evenly distributed across the entire surface of the strop.
I was actually a little disappointed in how this one performed today. But I think I know why…
I picked up a couple of knives from AliExpress that look like the Oz Machine Co Roosevelt. How do these Rosies/“Fosies” compare to the real thing?
These are the top 5 knives that have been getting the most attention from me in the month of January. One of these knives is not like the others.
I needed to reprofile and sharpen the edge on the OK-223 knife that I want to test. So I thought I’d share the whole story of how a REAL amateur fumbles his way through knife sharpening on the Work Sharp Pro.
How well will this 9CR18 steel hold up to even moderate use? Can it hang with the big dogs? You might be surprised by the answer here!
If you’re looking for the perfect knife for an emergency or bug out kit, you’ll be hard pressed to find a better knife – or a better deal – than this one.
Although 8Cr13 gets a pretty bad reputation among most of the knife community, you may be surprised to see how well This Spyderco Tenacious came out in this cut test.
If the Moyarl and the Rosie had an illegitimate love child, this would be it! This is one you definitely don’t want to miss!
Today I’ve got the Sencut Serene in D2 steel. So I have pretty high hopes for this knife.
The CJRB Pyrite Light is one of the top rated EDC knives for 2024. I’m excited to see how this relatively new steel will hold up against some of the more well-known budget steels.
A lot of people turn their noses up at 8CR13, but I’m betting that a lot of people will be surprised when they see how this one holds up. Here’s the full review.

I got this Sencut Serene knife as a Christmas present so that we would have a good quality D2 steel knife that we can use to set a baseline in our Cut Tests. But it turned out to be a great knife!
Fintiso is a relatively new player in the EDC knives space, but has already put out a good handful of very nice looking and affordable EDC knives with good budget steel options
Although the beautifully contoured carbon fiber scales feel great in the hand (just like the Spyderco Para 3 after which it is modeled) the quality control on the knife I received left a little to be desired.
I’m glad I decided to wait and pick up the 3.5” version of this knife that looks like the McNees PM MAC2 instead of the 3” version. The 3.5” version fits perfectly in the hand and basically delivers a full size cutting blade in a very EDC friendly size.
