00:00We got ourselves a cheap knife here
00:06and lots of bad weather so
00:10now some people may recognise this
00:14it's a bit of a copy of something called a Medford
00:20the Medford sells for about
00:24I think I saw it on the website $1200
00:28so I suppose it uses some sort of super steel
00:32and titanium and this and that
00:34this is just all steel
00:38with a cheap nasty little tin sort of clip there
00:42it's a slip joint
00:46the price on this without GST
00:52is $9 and something
00:54with GST comes out about $11 and change
01:00with GST
01:02the factory edge was pretty well much garbage
01:06the knife itself is reasonably well balanced
01:12but it's a brick
01:16because it's all steel
01:18there's no titanium here
01:22so pretty sharp after I sharpened it
01:28I was going to say the factory edge was trash
01:30trash
01:32which it was
01:34not a big fan of Tanto
01:38especially for testing
01:40it's a real pain in the ass
01:42to cut rope with a Tanto
01:44but
01:46let's see if I can do it
01:48let's see what we can do with this thing
01:50well
02:00let's see what I did
02:02I think I can do it
02:04but
02:06if I can do it
02:08I can't do it
02:10but
02:11I can't do it
02:12I can't do it
02:14Oh, it's not the X.
02:17It's not the X.
02:30I'm not going to get this problem.
02:44So, let's go.
03:14I don't know.
03:44Looks like we've reached a failure point.
04:14Alright, looks like we deformed the apex.
04:37Now if memory serves that edge might be around about 18 degrees and that would be the factory
04:48bevel angle would be about 18 degrees.
04:51So I checked it and matched it and if I remember right it's about 18 degrees.
04:57So for a 11 dollars and something cents knife it's not too bad.
05:04It's stropped back, it is what it is, not the end of the world but it's a brick, it's a
05:14house brick.
05:15That is a lot of weight.
05:17That is not a pocket knife.
05:19It's got the same weight as a sheath knife and I think I'd rather a fixed blade sheath
05:24knife than that thing.
05:26Alright.
05:27Let's go.
05:28Let's go.
05:29Let's go.
