Talking about cheap and expensive knives
Looks like local outdoor companies have been sending me knives and other stuffs for reviews lately. I do not know why as I do not think I am an expert but since I am able to get freebies and a bit of cash, I guess why not.
I have done a few reviews on hammocks, tarps, tents, lanterns, cook set, stoves and lately knives. Somehow I found that some of the cheap knives are really worth it and some of the pricey/branded knives might be worth it or are just simply pricey and not much better.
I have reviewed knives from MORA, GERBER, Tramontina and lately Bad Blood. I would trash these knives, and then compare them to the U-Tube reviews by others and sometimes, I find that the reviews on U-Tube are more towards marketing the products by giving a god review and not really telling the public what the knives are good for, how well they stack to other knives etc.
When the outdoor companies in Malaysia send me the items to be reviewed, I would test it outdoors, against the elements and review the items based on how it is used while camping and surviving. This will include batoning, skinning, cutting slicing, stabbing, making fire, ease of use, bush crafting, and multiusage.
So, sometimes, I found that the cheaper knives, as to how much they cost, are really worth it. And of course most of the branded pricey knives are worth it, but their price to the average Joe? We cannot simply expect everyone to be buying those $200.00 and above knives and use them daily.
