- We are not sponsored by anyone and these knives were sent as a gift to us from a friend. We decided to do a review of them to see what all this hype is about. If you search Coolina on TH-cam you will find NO commercials for them....zero...zilch...nadda...nil. They seem to literally depend solely on social media hype. So are they worth it? Watch the good, bad and ugly.

Thanks cool looking set, but Made in China is all I really needed to know. There are many Made in the USA sets out there. I'll buy one of them.
Good for you! "Made in China" is an absolute deal killer for me. Shop locally and buy American. Period.
Best wishes from Vermont 🍁
Yeah. Made in America but getting the metal from China🤡🤡
Especially for almost $400 ! Total ripoff
@@Rbhawk3rd There are websites devoted to selling 100% made in America goods - including all the parts and materials. They're worth looking up. 🇺🇲
You want a made a japan set. 😂
i got 5 of these and have used them constantly(for a year) and love them i keep them sharp by using them only on a wood cutting board and run them over the stone that came with them every 3-4 months. I've never used any oil on them to keep them form rusting i just wash and dry them as soon as I'm done with them so it is not necessary to oil them. great knives
I have the full set and mine have smooth rivets in the handle, perfectly fitted smooth handle, and beautifully made blade. I’m a blacksmith and am very fussy about my steel. This was a gift and I absolutely love it.
I am loving my set!!
these are stamped and ground
Garbage made to appeal to the American caveman so they can all grunt in admiration of such manly item in their hand.
Not a blacksmith, knife is poor quality at best.
@@macefamilyhomestead7848I just got a set of 4 knives given to me for Father’s Day and I’m wondering why some of yalls comments say they’re garbage and other comments say you love them? 🧐
Thanks for the video. I am also a 100% Disables American Veteran. I love my 60 year old Old Hickory carbon steel cleaver & knives, I can still get the same one @ many local hardware stores for US$40 or less. The only thing is you have to treat it, like you treat your cast iron pots & pans to keep it from rusting.
Please let me know where you can buy those knives for $95 and $80? I checked on their website sale - Lixy-$199 on sale. Promaja -$119. For Chinese steel it’s a rip off, my opinion
You said the one knife wasn’t very sharp. I’ve gotten many knives that came from the factory that were not sharp enough; so, I sharpened it. I n some cases I actually dull the knife, resharpen and then test it.
Was hoping to see more of that knid of thing.
However, thank you for doing this!
"I have no idea what I'm talking about."
What's the steel type?
What's the durability on it?
Sharpenability?
Rockwell?
Cheap mass produced junk from China that is heavily upmarked and dropshipped.
Thanks for the great review. Having no blade on the first one and "Made in China" is a deal breaker for me. Thanks for saving me $$.
Have had the promaja for a year and a half. Use it everyday. Fantastic knife.
I am using these and trying to find one that I am truly loving the best.
The knife set is nothing but junk. Arrived sharp but the instructions say to keep the knives oiled or they will rust. No matter what the commercials say about them they are junk. I bought 2 knives for what I needed for less than $20.
Thanks for saving me $300.00, also the Made in China was a turn off because I think literally hand made piece by piece.
Gotta love Americans, you guys are cool, always supporting businesses and maintaining the spirit of the American Dream. God bless you two.
These knives are made in China
@@brianzubia YES, WTF IS HE TALKING ABOUT?
I'm seeing this today, 11/25/2023. I just saw a commercial on TH-cam then decide to look at the reviews and found you first. So how was there no videos when you posted this review??
3/8 knife is a chopper cleaver, it’s cutting power is in its spine and weight, it’s like saying an ax is “failed” because you can’t shave with it. Lol.
You also need to cut on a weighted surface to absorb impact
The fit and finish of Coolina knives is quite nice, but too costly fo made in China.
10:11 Dog is looking up like "Um... are you going to eat that?" 😄
Just got the same 2 knives. The butcher knife is dull as hell and the Promaja is sharp! Did Coolina give any feedback as to the out of the box dullness of the Lixy?
They did they said it was for chopping
Appreciate your review. I think I need a few of their products in my arsenal!
Straight from the box sharpness can be hit-or-miss unless sharpening service is requested at point of purchase with most vendors. request for the knife to be shipped sharp or touch the edge up yourself.
ah gotcha ty
Why would you want a knife that you have to keep constantly oiled? I’ve been using crappy knives my whole life with no problem and no maintenance, and now I’m looking to get some nice cooking knives, but it looks like such a headache.
They are
I just bought two of these knives and they are going back they don't look like they are worth the money looks like something I could make in my garage.
Probably are or MADE IN PRISON ?
They said the big one was not as sharp for reason, I got 4 for mothers day for my wife
Why would you cut frozen meat?
Well some people cook it frozen of course.
Just let it thaw out...lol@@shawnmendrek3544
That cleaver is much like the one I purchased at an Asian market, just a little thinner. I like the heft of their blades and the larger size helps with slicing large cuts and chopping.
there all from the asian market😅
Over 2,000 comments on Amazon for the second blade. Different name but same knife. Easy to sharpen the first one. I have one single 25+ year old Chinese kitchen butcher knife. Only been maintained on the 12'' steel bought the same day, still razor-sharp, original grind barely still showing. Chinese have been making knives for thousands of years
That is true James. The boxes did say made in China but I didn’t let that sway me.
That is great and all...but a lot of crappy knives come out off china as well. I'd like to see a review on these knives after some use for say 6 months or so. I think the biggest issue I have is there are so many commercials on TH-cam that are just for garbage/drop ship items/ or just plain scams so it makes me worry about if the product is worth it.
@@zancrus9629 that’s what we plan on doing for these knives
@@zancrus9629 25+ Years ago I bought a 9'' Chinese made kitchen butcher knife, a cleaver and a 12'' steel sharpener. Till this day this is my only single butcher knife. Still razor-sharp and the original edge is still visible even though it is very small. Never needed to use a sharpening stone. I bought it where Chinese people buy their knives at a Chinese market and it says made in China in Chinese. What they sell to the west and what they keep for themselves as night and day . Western dealers would rather spend money on low end knives rather than high quality Chinese knives for profit. $1,000 will buy 1,000 items sold at $5@ or if you buy a $1,000 Chinese knife and sell it for $1,200 notice the difference in profit. 40 years ago I studied Japanese and Chinese wood joinery. $5,000US would get you a low end Shark tooth design saw. $10-15,000 for good quality made by a master. Kubey makes knives with steel from the USA, Germany and Japan and they are exactly the same quality as Coldsteel. I am a retired carpenter and I know tool quality very well and the Chinese are way ahead of USA made knives. Compare a $200 US made knife to a $200 Chinese made knife. No comparison not even in the same league. I have close to 300 knives, mostly Chinese high quality. Trust me they have better artistic design and every country on earth sends PHD level people to China to make high end everything like your iPhone. I sold half my tools about $20,000 worth after retiring, all made in china, all working perfectly after years of usage.
@@James-ke5sx its not $ 5000 for a shitty saw in the US. You sir are high asf if you think that's true. You can get a crappy saw for $5, and a damn good saw for $30.
I was just about to buy this as a gift for my brother, who uses knives for a living. Sad to say I was sucked in by the ads. Glad i found your video
Yeah me too.
These are junk, DO NOT BUY! The Paper test isn't worth anything, go look at knife competitions and you’ll see what Sharp is. This is a modern Ginsu knife (ie junk on TV 😂).
Lost me at china
would this be good for shaving wood and using it liek an axe to cut wood for fire during camping?
The blade, Lixy, is not sharp so shaving wood? Probably not. But for hacking I would say yes.
Hope y’all enjoy this video
USA ALL THE WAY
Yeah I would have to agree
Does the knife have an Asian bevel? From the description of the blade, it sounds like an Asian bevel. Just want to double check before I possibly buy it
When we got the boxes they were labeled Made in China. Although the ads say hand forged.
The ( knife ) that is dull or has no sharp edge is note perbsay a knifr, ir is a Cleaver made for chopping through bone for example chicken legs.
If you want to buy them then so be it. I slaughter my own chickens and bought 2 knives for less than $20 to do a way better job than those made in China knives. There is no way they are “hand forged” unless it’s by a 6 year old
The bigger knife is a cleaver and is used for splitting large bone and meat chopping. so it doesn't need to be surgical sharp.
“Seems to be pretty straight.” Great insights!
I keep a set of Victorianox breaking/boning knives, you couldnt pay me to use those to process meat. Also a bunch of questionable folks promoting the product. If its endorsed by the troll farm its a hard pass from me
Cleavers are not made to slice, it’s in the name. To share an edge is just a weakness.
I grew up watching Yan can cook on an old black and white tv. Watch some of his videos, he's awesome. I only use my cleaver now for all things.
Doesn't Coolina say these are forged? These knives haven't been forged. Someone tell me I'm wrong.
I thought they were forged as well.
Mass produced crap
@@19stacymoore How do you know if they aren't forged?
@@gregoryvanek9038, well, to be honest I don’t. I do know that when someone claims forging it is assumed that the item is forged by hand. That being said the polishing is only on the blade with the rest of the knife looking like it came out of the fire (rough or authentic looking). These knives appear to be polished from toe to tip. Normally that isn’t the case if you are claiming authentic hand forged blades.
Honest reviews tell me this is garbage from China.
Invest in American made products ,not foreign poor quality items!
Right up there with Huush knifes , just cost more.
Wow, that's a Big Knife
Yes it is but it is AWESOME
That first .. err ahh well what ever it is looks MID EVIL !!!!
Well balanced knife? What does that mean? Is the CG at your index finger? I doubt that. You could have extended this video a few more minutes if you'd repeated yourself a little more. 1, 2. 300 bucks for a chinese knife. Yeah.
are they made in China?
I believe so.
Almazan knife vs coolina
Chicom junk. You can just look at the way theyre finished and tell theyre made out of fender metal.
I steer more toward Victorinox knives.
Never heard of them. Just need knives to help with chicken processing.
Victorinox makes fantastic knives.
@@MarkVance-r5d could you send me a link so I can share it with others?
China knife. Nope.
They always struck me as a gimmick that appeals to burly men who think it looks “badassed” but know nothing about knives. There’s a reason you’ve never seen real chefs wielding massive hunks of steel like these things. Sharpness out of the box means nothing if the steel is cheap and won’t hold an edge.
@@andrewbevan3933 I agree.
Junk.
Where are they made: China?
Yup. Hand forged by kids in a sweatshop probably
Respect for your honesty.@@macefamilyhomestead7848
@@macefamilyhomestead7848 HOLY CROW, LMAO, THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE.
That's not a cleaver that's a hand axe
Junk
I like this couple. American reviewers, good. Foreign knives, bad.
Made in china
MADE IN CHINA
need to keep those fingers outta the way....
That’s a joke, not a knife. 😂
Great review guys. i'm convinced....Also, thank you for your service sir!!!
Only buy German made knives
Good god Ye guys need a better editor
Polyurethane sheath and synthetic whetstone...no thanx
What do you mean?
@@macefamilyhomestead7848 I prefer a leather or wooden handle and an Arkansas stone... a quality knife company would think twice about selling cheap products like this, or at least have an option for something premium.
@@phelandeluna5439 are you talking about the handle, the sheat or the blade? sorry, not a native speaker and you're unclear
@@1995yuda In my first comment I was talking about the sheath and the stone. In my reply I was talking about the handle. But to sum it all up...I would want a wooden or leather handle, a leather sheath, and an Arkansas stone.
@@phelandeluna5439 Got it, makes sense. I appreciate the quick response bud
Garbage knives. Garbage company.
Quality is poopy.
Well these were sent by a friend so not my money wasted if they are crap. But I kinda like them.
Total garbage.
