  • This video is a warning to anyone thinking they are going to get a nice custom knife from Pakistan off eBay. A total rip off and you will be left disappointed, don’t do it:
    If you would like to order a knife that sucks, please visit eBay and select that specific country.

    I took the plunge twice, and must say, I got a couple beautiful knives. Theres a difference in quality when you buy the more expensive ones. I got a gorgeous damascus bowie, fitted beautifully, razor sharp, deep burgundy micarta, just flawless, and a sweet solid lesther sheath. Theres a 200 dollar version, mine, and a 100 dollar version, which shares the same photo, but you know it's fugazi. I got another solid damascus smatchet with a laminated wood handle, its hard, sharp as f, and gets complements. So basically you get what you pay for

    I use a Timber Rattler Outlaw Bowie everyday and I have no problems with them. Granted the fit and finish is a little Ruff but with some sanding and file work they look really great. True they aren't for everyone but I'm extremely happy with the abuse they can take.

      @@gustifer0311 yeah I agree, that knife you showed us slip by quality inspection....... I would have took pictures of it and sent it to the maker and asked him what the problem was? If I had a way to send you a photo of what I purchased I would..... A razor sharp Bowie knife with Camel bone handle..... And a good thick leather tooled sheath.... the blade is right at twelve inches long! I bid on it and won it for $15.00 bucks and that was including shipping! I thought as dumbfounded over the quality of the knife... So I started biding on more....

    I never had any luck with Pakistani products. Clothing, costumes, knives, everything is soooo so shoddy. India is hit and miss, China is fantastic if you avoid the cheap trash, but Pakistan has a long way to go. They *look* nice in photos but the craftsmen don't seem to understand utility.

    Did you scrap this blade and look at the SZCO Bowie? I’ve seen good reviews of it but overall unless its that blade I would rather save my money and go for an OKC butcher knife. Best decision I ever made on top of a $20 hatchet from Harbor Freight.

    I'm from Pakistan brother, i agree with you that these products are not for high intensity work. If you have money why would you purchase Pakistani, Indian or Chinese stuff buy quality produc made in EU or America. These products are just show pieces only few of them are tough. Otherwise good video.

    Give him a really bad review and contact Ebay with the complaint. I have bought a few wall hangers from Pakistan, Never cost too much. But NEVER again.

    "The only reason people who believe in Jesus and his miracles are not automatically classified as nuts is that we understand that they've heard these things described to them as being non-fiction since a very young age, and -- unlike the Santa Claus yarn -- their parents never disabused them of this, because those parents were similarly delusional. We also understand that the story dates from over 2000 years ago, perhaps even centuries before that, so the issue is not as obvious (I know, we're making excuses for ignorance here) as something like Scientology, which grew out of more recent fiction."

      With all due respect, you are being disingenuous when you say it has nothing to do with Pakistan, because it has everything to do with Pakistan when they use deceptive business tactics to sell their crap knives on eBay, period, because as I mentioned above, you are not getting the knife in their description, or in the picture, period.
      And by the way, Wizirabad, the city of cutlery you had mentioned for our amazement in their knife making skills, is the city where the crap knife I bought on eBay came from!

      @@politicman1 indeed, your discomfort is not deserved. I would apologize as a Pakistani citizen, although not related to any business about this (I work for the government in upper management roles) if you are so sure about its origin. Having visited that city for my personal collectibles many times, I never saw such crap there and their consistent turnover is in millions of US dollars. My comment was sincere best to my own experience. Grace is appreciated. All respects.
      Nothing is left for amazement in these times, when you have a laptop before you, you are supposed to know and have seen every place and are supposed to make intelligent and comparison-based decisions for yourself.
      Wazirabad must have its own limits of shit, but not surely this much. I, however, as a concerned and unquiet fellow citizen, am writing to their Chamber of Commerce, for the annoyance and discomfort caused to you fine people with reference to this video and comments. 😳

I see a lot of these Type Knives Labeled “Handmade 1095” and yes they look amazing and a great price. There’s one called Handmade 1776 Cutlery using 1095 Steel but I’m guessing they are from Overseas Handmade. Stay safe my Friend

      Thank you Doug yeah, those knobs looks so good in the price point isn’t too bad and they’re also different from what the standard American knife makers put out. It’s very tempting but at the end of the day, none of the description say exactly what kind of steel it’s made for a tough lesson to learn.

    Like all other countries, Pakistan makes cutlery, knives, sports goods, and many other implements for a comprehensive global market in different qualities and price ranges according to the importers' demand. Pakistan is a world of arms and sharp-edge weapons You then get what you pay for and what you are looking for. Prices range from as little as 10$ to more than 1000$ or even more. Hollywood is a big customer. My advice: while shopping for such things in your Country; make yourself sure by any expert that they aren't "made in Pakistan" while being sold in US or European boxes and brands. Complex surgical instruments with European or US branding are usually or mostly made in Pakistan. Good luck with your courtesy and research. Ask me and I will send you a real sample made for real men as a friendship gift. Mind it, sharpening, the easiest, is often left for a person's specific needs. Some are packed sharp some are not.
