- If you ever wondered what it was like to get a “Benchmade” from Wish, this video is for you. And yep, it shipped from China. 🤣
Email: AndyMcKinley@ohblade.com
I've bought several clones of differing brands from Wish, and 90% of them have been indistinguishable from the originals. For the price they are excellent knives, and if you lose one you don't feel too bad.
Exactly. These knives are worth the money quality-wise. Thanks for watching!
Is the axis lock the same as original
@@OhioBladeandCutlery how can you say they are quality when the steel is total junk
@@6foot8jesuspilledpureblood82He said worth the quality, if you wanna go spend $2-300 on a knife go ahead😂
@@6foot8jesuspilledpureblood82 you can get these knives for around 10$. for the price they are great
That's really good action on it! That is a spot on clone, I couldn't see a difference. And for a beater, the price is perfect!
A guilt free beater as well! I'd cringe/cry messing up a real one. Their is a reason I only bring my expensive EDCs out if such are neck knives: hard to loose. Alway easy to have. Saved me from a real hellish situation 1 time. was a crkt bowie minimalist. Have a special bond with such. Got it for 20-25 bucks, a deal since amazon has em for 35, official website even more.
Feel like a fool when I passed up their M16 which was priced for 19.99. I came back to the store and it was gone. Repeated so for almost half a year. Occasionally have looked to see if Dicks sporting goods ever got it back in. Since 2019... I haven’t seen it.
They curbed gun sales, you cannot buy em where I live. Same principle goes for knives to a lesser degree. Especially since the guy behind the gun counter was who would help you actually get the knife. Zero employees are at the back of the warehouse, they practically don’t know if they exist, Aren’t helpful. Probably doesn’t help my Dick's has a 2/5 on yelp.
I have bought about a dozen different kinds of 'Benchmade' knives from here and having had an original mini crooked river, these are really close to the originals. Very solidly made and sharp!
Good to know!
Can you tell me from which seller?
These are all over Ali Express from $15 shipped. The Jufule knife store is really good quality
Good to know!
I like to use dhgate there 18 to 21 on there I’ve got one on the way lol
Free shipping as well usually under a month
Great video! Glad you took the time to do this!
Thanks brother, I was curious
I got one with aluminum scales and I love it! Holds an edge a long time too. Copy cats stepped up there game tremendously in the last couple years
Nice, that’s good to know. Looking forward to seeing how it holds up. I was very impressed during the unboxing.
How about this. Buy one from benchmade and stop supporting these dodgy fake companies?
@@joshduffy5078 facts. If these broke boys can't afford a benchmade then buy a Kershaw. They're much better than Chinese Benchmade fakes. Why even buy a clone that hasn't been heat treated correctly?
@@Phaminator525 amem
@@Phaminator525 we all know benchmades are overpriced
Sharpening it will let you know how hard the steel is. Nice find.
👍
Benchmade are hard to sharpen. I maybe it even more if it's easier
I just got 4 mini bug outs and 2 full size bug outs from wish and they are fuckin nice. They are razor sharp great action on all but one mini but that was only because the pivot screw was too tight. They showed up 7 or 8 days after I got them. Can't imagine what an additional 190 bucks would do for me. They were 11 bucks a piece. I got others too, an Osborne and a griptillian and a mini griptillian and they are REALLY solid knives. The bug outs have some flex to the plastic but are razor sharp and I don't care if I drop it, lose it or ruin it. I gave a few away to coworkers. The grips and Osborne are really nice. Especially for 20 a piece! I will say owning these does make me want one or two real ones one day, but they will just sit at home. I don't have money like that yet where I can use and wear out a 200+ dollar knife. Only issue I really have is that two of the boxes, inside them, they stank like mold real bad! Only two out of 10 or so total. Knives were fine though.
Yeah they definitely perform well
@@OhioBladeandCutlery I was cutting open a package of water bottles at work and they were good bottles, Aquafina so they aren't the chincy crappy bottles, they hold their shape. The tip of the full size Grip just BARELY grazed one of the bottles and it cut a hole in it lol
@@erictalkington5674 lol, that’s SHARP!!
I’ve bought a few benchmade wish knives and there almost identical..the screws fall out other then that there spot on
Put some blue lock tight on the screws.
Seeing as 50% of benchmades aren't made in the US its prolly came from the same factory 🤣
🤣🤣
As of right now no benchmade knives are made overseas
@@meganmauermann2676 They are all assembled in the US that's how they can say made in America.
That's quite possible. I know that a while back before spyderco cracked down they were making an authorized copies in the same Chinese factories that made their Chinese knives
Does the fake have nylon or bronze washers?
I have two …if you put crazy glue on the screws it’s a pretty good knife and you don’t mind beating it up….I’m from Oregon so it’s semi authentic
It's 440hc, the heat treats are good on about 90% of them. If the heat treat is good 440HC will hold up about 85% edge retention of S30. S30v is a great steel and one of my fav but a good solid 440hc is decent steel and touches up om a strop excellent once you get a good solid bevel on it and likes 19 degrees per side very well. Get you a nice 19 degree convex edge and the edge will hold well and a couple strops on a 1 micron diamond treated strop and your right back to hair whittling... 440hc don't like going below 1 micron so don't run it on a half micron or 0.1 micron diamond treated strop or the edge will roll on you.. Keep it finished on a 3 micron or 1 micron finish and you have a pretty solid beater knife that the edge will do what you need it to and a few swipes on the strop at the end of the day and you always have a razor in your pocket
Good to know, thanks for all the information on the blade steel. This is great!
Is there such thing as 440hc?
Its not 440c tho bc China much more likely to use 8cr13mov or 9cr18mov, D2, Chinese steels instead of 440c. 440c is the American equivalent to 9cr.
I would bet its 8cr on the cheap ones and 9cr on the high end ones and D2 in the middle.
For a bit more just get the Petrified Fish pf818... It's a really good knife with real D2 that holds the edge much longer compared to those. :)
I bought this Jufule just to see how is the real bugout. How it feels in my hand and my pocket... Jufule is like a demo version of the real knife, but not a good knife (even for the price).
Cool, I’ll check it out
Finally you a review about name brand knives sold on wish
I did a couple Spyderco knives from wish last year
Can't afford to beat on a 200 dollar knife but love benchmade. Find myself not carrying it cuz of the price. I just ordered 3 "bugouts" for like 60 bucks. For me as long as the axis lock is smooth and the knife keeps a decent edge who the heck cares! Lose it? Break it beyond repair? Oh well grab another outta thr drawer and roll on. Do that with my 200 dollar 940? I'm losing sleep.
Exactly

Most likely the original bug out sources parts from China anyways the only difference is is there assembled in Oregon versus China
Very likely
Interesting to see how it holds up.
When ordering from wish buy items that ship from usa and it arrives right away not in two months
Thanks 👍
@@OhioBladeandCutlery I ordered one from wish from a usa shipper and arrived in less than a week for $30
Sweet!!
Mine was not centered and the plastic of the scales is way too soft. I guess that it is worth 20-30 bucks. The real question is: is the roginal Bugout worth 150 bucks?
SOME (actually way too many) sellers are buying these $20 knives, which despite appearances are not quite as good as the original, and reselling them as originals. They may be almost as good as a Benchmade (though the steel in the blade is doubtless far inferior to that used by Benchmade), but how would you like to pay the full Benchmade price, or even a bit less - for a fake? No natter how good it might be, I'd feel ripped off.
Yes, that is an unfortunate side effect of these copies. Some people have no ethics.
I actually got a bc balisong fake from there one time and it was one of the most solid butterflies I've had, i actually seen these on there and was thinking of grabbing one lol
damn thats some awesome price quality ratio :D
Not a bad knife for the money but do not expect it to hold an edge long. None of the ones i have hold an edge long at all. The good thing is that it takes seconds to get the sharp back.
Just shows you how manufacturers rip us off. They can make a great cheap product like this yet big names charge us $400 for a basic folder.
This is exactly what I always say and people don't understand. People think that because it cost so little they must cut covers somewhere but that's not always true. The truth is it really didn't cost much to manufacture many products at scale. Benchmade can manufacture a knife at cost for maybe 30 to 50 dollars in raw materials then add a few dollars for labor and packaging materials and then sell it for $400 and we accept that because we don't know the true cost of manufacture. These Chinese clones reveal to us the true cost of manufacture. Of course it costs more to produce here in the US but still the price is hiked up to create maximum profit and the illusion that it is worth that much. That iphone that cost $1000 probably cost$100 - $200 to manufacture at volume. This is just the way it is for all products. People are always looking for reasons why the knife is so inexpensive, the truth is, this mass produced knives and other products should really cost
Made it America costs money my guy.
Well… material and wages of the original will make it a lot more expensive. But Benchmade really adds the butterfly tax to their knives, which is somewhat between 50 and 100%. ;)
🤔I love my $28 Ganzo👍🏻
I don't like how expensive benchmades are but I'd rather pay the $150 and support an american company than save $125 and support people making counterfitting something that is supposed to be quality product. Thats just my opinion
I hear ya man, and agree. Got it out of curiosity more than anything.
Personally I'd prefer the $125 in my own pocket
Im sorry but Americans businesses dont give a rats ass about anyone but filling there own pockets. If they really cared, they wouldn't have such ridiculous mark up on these blades in the first place and more people opt to buy them vs clones and counterfeits.
@@tim7076 Well said.
Great review, brother. Interested to see how it holds up longer term (for a $31 knife I mean [not as a ripped off design or clone], because that's getting right around the price range of other, more legitimate China made knives like Honey Badger if you count shipping). Hey, if I don't see one from you before, wishing you and yours a merry Christmas and happy holiday season, my friend 😊✌
Yeah, this is right in the same price range of many of the Ganzo models too. Thanks for watching brother and have a great Christmas!
Benchmade from Wish, this is going to be interesting
I’ll have to buy a ton of these on Wish just to do comparison videos and get this Many views on my channel. Haha 😂
Ha! 😂
I just ordered the red one off wish and came to YT to check out some videos
Darker green and orange but pretty close.
even if it is a good knife, dont buy clones. there are some really nice budget knives out there that have nice action, good steel, and come from a respectable knife company.
I ordered from Wish exactly the same one few days ago. So my question is....do you think Flytanium scales will fit on it? Bugout with brass scales looks awesome.....to me.
Absolutely, the scales are identical.
Yep, the scales are the same
@@OhioBladeandCutlery Do you have a video that proves that? I've read other reviews saying the scales don't fit right on the knockoff.
Yes, there's a channel that did switch the scales. The holes near the pivot were off by 1/1000th of an inch so he had to take a needle file so the holes would match up. BTW, AliExpress has scales for several BM, Spyderco and other major brands top sellers. Nice scales for like $17. Not $50. Lots to choose from.
This isn't the video of the scale swap but it's this guy's channel. He swapped out the scales on his BM with his DHGate Bug out clone.
th-cam.com/video/GCX2wNPp4x4/w-d-xo.html
Thx. Any idea if the sv30 is real now?
Or has it still held its edge?
If you found it on the street would be able to tell the difference or be super stoked you found a real benchmade???
Don’t think it’s real sv30. Likely D2. It’s has held its edge well. I don’t think I’d be able to tell it was not authentic without having a real one for comparison side by side.
I'd rather have a cheap decent knife I can actually use than one I can't afford to. I had 2 BM knives and lost one which was terrible cuz it was 250 down the drain.
The faux stamp is too far from the thumb studs on most counterfeits. Mine does too!
Did you ever make a follow up video about how this held up? I didn’t see one I’m your library.
No, I ended up giving this one to a friend of mine.
Lol the box says blue class, and the knife is OD green.
Blue class doesn’t indicate the color of the knife. Blue Class is Benchmade’s mainstream product line. They also have a “Black Class” for example.
How u have a knife channel without a bug out for comparison? Alot of channels have 1 for size comparison
Yeah that was a mistake
i bought a huge amount of knifes and machetes on wish.
usualy when i was drunk lol.
i was surprised how many came till me.
They also have cool bows, i bought about 7 bows. and the arrows there are dirtcheap! that s always what sucked for me when shooting 50lbs bows
I'd feel guilty about clones but when it comes to Benchmade, yeah I feel quite comfortable.
I wish some affordable Knives were offered. I'm not saying 35 bucks of course, but like 100 bucks. 100-130 for a basic bitch variation would be cool.
They had a pardue going for 100 on their website years ago, feel so bad I didn’t pull the trigger. I really dislike the artificial scarcity they create. ( I know you can get a BM 1 piece dagger for like 130 bucks but most would like something more.)
How many of us beg for a rerelease of the Model 42? I'd actually consider 400 bucks like it once was, (but I'm sure it would cost more because of "special anniversary "limited" run custom swag, gucci supreme ball bearings.")
Only Bali offered on their website is one which isn’t what most want and is 200 bucks more than the 42.
(I'm gonna buy a Kershaw lucha or Boker Plus Large Bali, 130 bucks vs 90 bucks. Appreciate advice, help :3)
The old website I eagle eyed as a 12 y/o was so superior to the "modern" one we have currently. The UI is worse. Far less product diversity. The Model 42 was my grail blade as a kid, over a decade ago. While 400 seems wild when I could get 2 Microtechs in place of such ( I believe Microtech has superior quality control compared to BM, or so I hear. How Micros are the same as always while BMs have dropped quality wise while keeping a cool kid club price tag.
Ok I dont get too impressed with Wish knives, but I really don't see a difference between my bugout BM and the replica. Except maybe the color is a little darker. But all in all. NICE FIND!!
Yeah I couldn’t tell it was a fake just by looking at it. These copies are getting VERY close. All in all, seems like a very good knife so far
And the etchings on the blade are different
It’s NOT s30v. And that plastic is cheaper than what BM used. There’s a reason it’s only 31 bucks
of course it's good, especially for the price
Did you ever do an updated carry? 😂
Can you share the link or seller name from wish? I would like to acquire on but there are hundreds of ads. Nice video, thank you.
The seller is “LBLL”. Just be aware the shipping takes a long time. Like over a month.
Can we get a video update on this?!?
Gave it to a friend of mine but he said it has held up well. No complaints.
I mean $300 for a real one? A bit steep imo
Just went and bought one😂
Awesome
Man they have upped their game!
That have indeed
I'm dying to know how the blade steel held up.
Do you think it's made of 9Cr or 10Cr?
It’s held up really well actually. My guess is 8Cr or maybe 9Cr.
@@OhioBladeandCutlery Thanks for answering, good to know👍!
@@OhioBladeandCutlery I know their "expensive" bugout clones (+/- $38) with carbon fiber or titanium scales use D2.
Any updates?
It’s been a great knife. No issues yet. Holds an edge very well
You've had it for a while, what's the update?
It’s held up well. No complaints
Better than a real one
how did it stand up, I've got one on the way
Held up pretty well for me
Hey there would you be able to send me the exact one you bought off wish because I don't want to buy a rubbish version of one of those.
Here ya go!
💰 Look what I found on Wish! I'm giving you $5 off your first purchase with code: rxldzjp
dl.wish.com/UHK8q
Seller is LBLL.
So how did it hold up? Is it D2?
It has held up great. My assumption is it’s D2, but I never tested it.
Cincinnati checking in!!
Subbed!
Awesome! Welcome to the channel, I always love to hear from fellow Ohioans
I'm guessing it's not really S30V?
Right, it almost certainly isn’t.
Fakes might be good enough to fool some people but it’ll NEVER fool you 😉
🤣
If you think that’s a hot knife through butter you never owned a sharpe knife……. Just the sound isn’t right as it’s cutting. There are clones yea and I have met some just as good but I won’t agree with you on this one. You get what you pay for but then again I don’t agree with benchmades price on bugouts.
Does the fake have nylon or bronze washers?
Nylon
Update!!!
Haven’t had any issues with it. Still works great and holds an edge for a decent amount of time
You payed 30 I paid 7 for the one that's coming😂
Sounds like you got a good deal!
Buy a Benchmade for showing off or end of the world play. Buy a decent knockoff to beat the living hell out of everyday. Plus if a cop "confiscates" it, no big deal. You hearing me Chicago?
Ok by me, BM causes their own $$ problem, love mine!
What kind of steel is it?
No idea on these clones. I’d have to get it tested
What color is this one?
Green
Crazy how they get away with that shite lol.
👊💀
Well it's China. They steal everything from everyone.
Honestly in that 2 month wait time you should be able to figure out a way to save some money and buy the real thing, I think you’ll have a much better experience with the real deal, these fakes are tarnishing benchmades name because not everyone realizes there fakes
I’ve had the authentic Benchmade 535 in black and it was a terrific knife. I was just curious what you get with the fake one. Thanks for watching brother
Ah I see, yea I can’t fault you for being curious I’ve wondered how they were before. Can’t wait to see how it holds up.
👍👊
Could spend a month saving up the extra cash to buy the real thing and you'll have a great knife + make a CEO happy. Or wait a month and get 4 great knives and still have enough left over to take the women out to dinner. But its always great to support American companies when you can. The problem is foreign companies have such a big lead over the US counterparts.
I have one of these counterfeit Benchmade Bugouts.That people pay such ridiculous prices for these unremarkable things astounds me. Possibly the most overrated knife I've heard of. Boring, and feels cheap, almost as if it's made for children.

People are always looking for reasons why the knife is so inexpensive, the truth is, this is what mass produced knives and other products actually cost. Not what we think they should cost
I will say ,,,,if you buy a benchmade and it comes with a really good grind......its a fake.....benchmade knives come with the worst grind of any knife I have ever bought....just mho
I’ve bought real Microtecs and Benchmades and these knockoffs from DHgate are pretty close replicas. You would have to know the knives very well to tell the difference. The latest I bought a clone Combat Troodon and everyone thinks I spent 1,300 on this thing it’s that close to the original.
Yep, they are super hard to distinguish from the real ones.
Of course it's not S30V lol it's either 9cr or one of those possibly D2.
$31 not to bad
Yep, seems like a great knife for the money
If you can’t tell those are orange and not gold like Benchmade you may need to get your eyes checked.
I’m actually color blind so that’s the reason I guess
stab the stump for tip
I usually do. Not sure why I didn’t with this one.
As good as an Mtech (which legitimately says it's made in China).
I think this is better than an MTech
Chairmade Crapout
produced by Lemifshe. real D2 steel, hence the oil film.
edit: just strop it 5 times per side and it will be razor-sharp ;-)
Good to know!
I heard they literally use olive oil to oil their fake knives lol
Why. It's more expensive than almost any alternative
Put a Ferrari sticker on my Volkswagen and it`s soooo mutch faster now..........
😂
You should chop that clone trash in half
Maybe I will!
Bench is stupid overpriced. When you can’t tell the difference between the clone and og, you know you’ve been taken for a ride.
The really great thing about these fakes, (aside from having really cool pot-metal blades, and being made with slave labor.) is the fact that if anything goe’s wrong with it, you can just send it to the Chinese Benchmade factory, and they will make everything OK. But really, what could go wrong when we all know the Chinese people’s reputation for quality and workmanship?
🤣🤣🤣
Boo
Pretty good fake ⛩⛩⛩⛩⛩
Yeah, they are getting very hard to tell from the real thing. Seems like a great knife for $31 too
Don’t buy Chinese crap it doesn’t compare to the original, buy American Benchmade and if you don’t have the money, save until you do it’s worth it!
I agree with you, but if you want a cheap beater knife, this one isn’t bad.
I can’t justify spending $120 For a folding knife But I can get for a quarter of the price and does the same thing. Is it a knock off? Yup. Is it cheap. Yup. I guess I won’t feel bad if it breaks or I lose it. And im happy knowing benchmade didnt take me to the bank.
Fake...👎
Worst blade in ohio
Lol, I assure you there are way worse ones here in Ohio
