I’ve been carrying one for awhile now. No complaints at all. I’m sure it’s not d2 but at the price who cares!! If I lose it oh well I’ll order another and it’ll be here tomorrow 😂😂
I love these knives for working on mods, great to practice on before you do it to a more expensive knife. They make some great beaters!
What mods are you working on?
@@utubepunk rit dye, heat ano and some flipper delete mods right now
@@badmunkyedc1 That's all Greek to me. I didn't even know modding pocket knives was a thing!
I have an ef966 and I really like it, its a little smaller and lighter weight barely even know its in my pocket. You should try it doc and ive seen it in jade lol
I had an Eafengrow SOCOM copy and it was a fairly nice Knife. And yes CPM D2 is amazing steel as with standard Die steel. Cool knives my Friend and I have zero issues with the likeness of the ZT and Microtechs lol it’s affordable.
I like using garage door silicone spray on my folding knives. It lasts a long time and it seems to protect the hinge from wearing down.
Thx for the introduction to Eafengrow. I will be picking up a few to start. 👍
I love these. I am a believer in having super affordable tough knives that I won't ever cry over if something happens to it.
Until you build a bond with your cheap knife and then cry anyways
I just received an EF929 today. I was hesitant because I saw the D2 test videos. I`m like you, they are just cool. The knife I got today feels horrible in the hand and there is nothing practical about it. However, i frickin` love it! It`s not something I will carry a lot but very cool looking... I`m sure I will carry occasionally.
I like the 2nd on with the spear point blade profile...
love a decent working knife...count me in...
Interesting knives in genera. For the price they seem ok, but past digressions are hard to get buy. Sure we would have heard if they screw up again. Keep making sharp things fun and enjoyable
Eafengrow was getting scammed by his suppliers for the first few years of his run. Thankfully he has made enough $ to take over production himself. He is now acquiring the d2 for the manufacturing process himself. Since this change all tests done on his knives have come up real d2 steel.
who cares that they're not D2 either one of those six knives no one is gutting or skinning a moose, you're cutting Amazon packages. this knife blade shit is so out of hand and I'm not talking just cheap Chyna folders.
I really wish that TH-cam had a laugh react to use on comments. Who cares? Probably the people that saw a product listing that said D2 and bought the knife. False advertising is illegal. I guess you don't care about that, and thanks for self identifying as a scumbag that had no problem with people being ripped off.
Companies charge more for a D2 blade than an 8Cr blade. Especially back when this video was made. Did you even check the date here? You don't know why anyone else may prefer one steel over another for their particular blade or use. What you seem clueless about is that there are many EDC or outdoors tasks that anyone can use a folding knife for, and that people may prefer various steels for their various properties- from edge retention, to ease of maintenence, to corrosion resistance, to toughness. It's all up.to the individual and their preference. All steels are not the same.
For you to assume when anybody but you is doing with their knives also makes you an idiot. You have NO idea. Great, so you only open Amazon packages with you yours. Ok. Guess what - OTHER PEOPLE do more. The fact that you can't seem to empathize with other people also makes you a sociopath. So now we know you're a scumbag that sees no problem with consumers being ripped off and you're a sociopath that probably has no problem ripping them off yourself.
And D2 steel has nothing to do with skinning or gutting anything. That isn't what tool steel is made for. You don't even know what you're talking about.
Your opinion is worthless.
I love a good quality budget knife. Not a fan of clones but they do look like decent knives. I'd have to use one to know. D2 is definitely a decent tool steel. I like it for a budget knife. I don't like the dishonest history so I probably won't be giving them any busines. Cjrb is definitely a decent go to for budget d2 knives. They have plenty of jade models. Most come in at around 30 bucks. I also love civivi most of them are around 50 but they are excellent quality and have lately been using some higher end steels. The action and feel is great with both of those makers. Civivi is the budget line of we knives and cjrb is the budget line of artisan cutlery. Both fantastic companies.
I want one of both of them
Im looking for a nice tactical concealed knife. Any suggestions??? This would be my first knife. Love the black/gun metal color.
Depends on what you mean by concealed. Something pocket carry would be good like benchmade bugout, benchmade 940, zero tolerance 0350, 0770, 0357, spyderco paramilitary 2 and 3 are great knives... blade hq is a great place to look, very organized for you to scroll around to my experience
@@kolbyjack136 Just something I can fit in my pocket. I have been looking at a few. Bench made seems to catch my eye a lot.
@@ig9918 Yeah Im waiting to get paid to grab a zt😌😌 theyre like never in stock anywhere though
I haven't heard of anyone saying the Eafengrow ef936 was a copy or clone or whatever they are called lol of any knife. Luvthemknives tested the ef936 in his batch 33 episode and the ef936 tested as D2 so did the ef937 which is clone of the Kershaw Junkyard Dog knife. I like the ef936 because of its unique tactical look, design and that cool looking milled Jade G10 handle. I hope the quality is on par with the other D2 G10 models out there. Ive dubbed it the JADE LION and im gonna put a blue paracord and Chinese Lion lanyard bead on it. If it's what i hope that it is. A good Heavy strong liner locking folding knife with no blade play and pretty good feel and action.
Well i found out that the Eafengrow ef936 is a clone of the Rike Unicorn....ho hum...lol...clones.
It's not a clone. A clone is when a company reproduces a knife down to the logos of another company and tries to pass it off as the real thing. That is the ultimate in bad. Clone - an exact duplicate. What Eafengrow is doing is copying designs. But they aren't trying to con you into buying a knife marked as Benchmade, or Spyderco, or Ruike, or Kershaw that isn't really what it claims to be. When companies copy designs from each other they change details JUST enough to avoid copyright infringement. Some people find a valid market for those kinds of knives becasue you can get a general feel for the design with a $20 dollar copy or "inspired by" design before you throw down a couple of hundred on the real thing. But there is absolutely no good reason or excuse to ever support the clone industry. The difference in terminology and concept is important.
@@DocP91B Yeah i don't mind either way if they copy designs. But Doc i am concerned if the ef936 lock is sturdy can you please go test the lock if you still have the knife so i can buy it. I love your videos because you're honest about the quality and you spine wack these budget knives. Ill appreciate it if you can im really drawn to the Rike Unicorn copy and larger size jade handles and contouring of the Ef936.
The lock held up. Only two didn't take the standard beating in all fo the ones I tested and they were both of the ZT copies. BUT...still, since then I haven't routinely tested the Eafengrows. Both the 96 and 97 held up to my standard 10 whacks on the spine.
@@DocP91B Yo Doc....bro thanks im gonna pick up the Ef936 its a cool looking larger Rike Unicorn with those awesome jade G10 handle scales and tactical tanto blade. The anticipation of a new knife coming in the mail continues!!!...
Nice Stuart Palmer Adelaide Sth Australia
I wonder if you were referencing my channel doc. I sent a eafengrow 0356 for a pmi. And it soooooooooooo failed as d2. Great video brother
I haven’t able to get my EF64 to take an edge.
What are using to sharpen?
So youve gotten me into jade like crazy. I recently acquired a Kansept Cryo in Jade G10 and i wanted your opinion on the knife. I havent really used it, other than the basic out of the box "aweness testing", i guess you can put it lol. Hell, if you wanted i could send it in for you to review since i know you love Jade G10. Let me know!
D2 = semi-stainless carbon steel, just leave it at that, lol
Hey Mike....so I haven't tried any efengro yet....although I'm a sucker for jade!!! I'm trying to grow my natural g10 collection...so ya if you say there good quality I'll def pull the trigger and try a couple....I like them both
I have an entire Amazon wish list of just Jade handled knives to check out! Stand by for more!!!
@@DocP91B I'll have to make a sweet fixed blade with jade G10 just to taunt you
I don't believe it is that big of a deal for the price really who cares you know what I mean bud lol like you said yeh who cares lol
You could line up 10 different companies knives and they would all look the same just like arrowheads bow and arrows all weapons have been copied ever since there's been weapons
I could just as easily line up 10 different company's knives and have them look completely different, depending on which ones I chose. The thing about Eafengrow is they directly copy entire designs by other companies and put their branding on it.
@@DocP91B have you seen pictures of the socom a clone is an exact copy that's a tribute at best let's agree to disagree
The only thing similar is the silhouette of the handle
@@jasonhackett8407 I think, and most people I know agree, that a clone is when a company tries to pass off a piece as an actual knife of another company. Good examples are the fake Benchmades and Spydercos on Wish or Aliexpress.
A copy is when one company uses the design of another but doesn't try to pass it off as the original. Like Eafengrow's exact copy of the ZT 0456 - the Eafenfrow 455. They used the same model number! The EF225 is a direct one for one copy of an early Strider SMF. Look at the Ganzo FB727 - it's a nearly exact replica of the Ontario RAT-1, except they put an Axis lock in.
All of those are copies. If they were clones they would have been made to fool a customer into thinking they were buying the real ZT, Strider, or Ontatio with original brand marks and faked company packaging.
@@DocP91B I'm confused seems to me I'm on your side and you're explaining to me your side. Loyalty is a two-way street make your knives in China and sell them in the United States as an American company you're just as guilty as the Chinese company
Too much skewed politics in the comments. I don't care where the knife is made. I care about the quality. If I want to put up false BS remarks and America bashing in comments I will go to a commie political site. Great Video tho Doc.
But if you're getting shit steel, instead of D2, regardless of price-what do you have? An inferior tool......
8 or 9cr isn't shit steel. It's average. It's decent EDC steel. Not top of the line at all but not what I would put in the shit category. The minimum I feel ok with is 7Cr and that is jsut for occasional use.
Understood, Doc- Thanks for the input!!
