- Gotta be honest, this is not pretty... I mean, it is. In terms of looks... but it's got some problems. Some of which are basically an insult to customers.
So yeah, brutally honest review incoming...

They were so scared of skall complaining about the thing being dull they sharpened the handle...
Out of all the amazing comments on this video, this one is my favorite :')
Hahaha. Good one.
Hahahaha
Wonderful 😂
This is like they break the front part of the katana carefully and sell it
What you have here is the ultimate in cake decorating blade. Pretty handle, short wide spreading blade. Secondary use for bagel prep. Cleave those chewy rounds in half and spread your favorite cream cheese or jelly. A true keeper.
I love you guys!!
Won't the pattern and/or indentations gather some of the spread?
Oh fuck, that comment almost made my beer come up out my nose.....
Then you throw your sharpened handle to end them rightly
Clearly a fantasy weapon. Extra edge made to hurt you? Sounds perfect. Give it to the bard.
This triggers the barbarian’s Berserk passive, and gives a +3 charisma bonus!
+19 Charisma for anyone with intelligence below 7
Deals 5 damage to wielder per strike
Unsheathable
10% chance to accidentally drop the weapon per strike
The bard doesn't need it unless it gives him a bonus when he rolls to seduce the boss.
*johhny cash cover on mandolin*
sounds like a knife for a blood mage, while you cut your victim's throat you can cut your hand at the same time for extra power!
Skallagrim: "This handle is has sharp edges, it's unpleasant."
Also Skallagrim: "Watch as I hold the blade of this sword and hit a tire with the hilt"
You at least know what you’re getting into when you do a murder stroke.
He was using a historical technique known as Half Swording.
@@Cru128 half-swording is holding the blade and the hilt for better tip control. The Muderstroke (or the mordhau) is a technique in which you hold only the blade and strike with the guard or pommel
@@LydCal999, you don’t need to explain that to me, I know what it is, mate.
@@Cru128 lol then use the right term. He said he hit the tire with a hilt, which means he's not half-swording now is he
Amazing that they actually SENT that to you for review. It's almost like they have something against the producer of that knife.
When your knife breaks and you can't afford another so you polish it up and present it like it's brand new
Loren Garms I literally thought the blade had broken during shipping!!
Repurposing broken blades might have happened a lot back in the day. Smooth the edges of the breaks, put a handle on the broken-off tip, sharpen the cutting edges, and you may have two specialty knives to use. Turn a broken sword into two knives, or into a spearhead and knife.

put all those issues aside, the knife really looks very pretty

@@purplehaze2358
the meaning " really " I used in the sentence doesn't mean " very " , it is the description of " In actual fact, as opposed to what is said or imagined to be true or possible. "
English isn't my first language, so if what I wrote isn't correct, thanks for the correction
@@林聖偉-w8g You are English is grate. The other individual commenter was inferring that the knife was not very pretty or the opposite of pretty through sarcasm.
Useless. A knife is a tool, not some shit you put on a shelf and look at.
uppstyraren it’s a collection knife
Did they accidentally send you the wrong sheath?
Yes, you can see that's not the right sheath if you go to their store page.
I can see why they got mixed up...they are essentially the same, just with a different shape for different knives.
sadly this entire knife review vid wasnt sent to him on april fools... man im sick just from looking at that piece of shit XD
Alpha PHENIX Although that really doesn’t bode well for them, damage was kinda done.
Unless they box everything before sending it to the reviewer..
well its still a shit excuse.. you should still quality check before you send it for review..
Skall, without actually handling that knife, I am 95% sure that that blade is not pattern welded. I'd bet that the blade is stainless steel that has been etched with the pattern in to it. The 2 biggest clues are that the pattern doesn't go all the way to the edge of the knife, it can happen but you would have to pattern weld san mai a billet and that's too much work for a manufacturer. And #2 the lines are really too even on the knife it's like wood grain, it's very rare for a bunch of layers in pattern welded steel to run the entire length of the blade much less the entire width of the knife, it's just too even.
The spine shows three distinct layers. I'm not sure if it should do that.
It might be pattern welded, just poorly. I've seen quite a few 'damascus' blades come out of amateur/beginner shops that don't have the pattern go to the edge after polishing and a bad sharpening, and a weak etching of regular damascus can get that wood grain effect.
usually with this type of knife, you get a normal steel core and pressed on „damascus“ sides, hence the three layers. pretty much the same as with san mai, but in cheap. But it doesnt seem to be etched on.
This could be possible a cutting layer with welded sides it is cheap for mass production and giving you a the best effect from the cutting layer the outer layers are just for the good look of it. The problem is that Damaskus is no trademark or something like that you can name everything else like that it doesn't matter.
I think this is a san mai blade with pattern welded outer steel layer. Actually not a bad idea. Wish we knew what steel it was though.
This knife was either made by a Daedra or a goddamn Orc
Edit: Oh Wow…
And i meant it looked like it was made by a Daedra because all Daedric weapons look like they are made to hurt the user more than the enemy… Just like this knife's stupid bladed grip
@Zack Nemo Maybe, but no. Not enough skulls.
Orcs wouldn't make it look as pretty though.
@Zack Nemo True, but they mentioned Daedra, so I thought they meant Elder Scrolls Orcs, not Warhammer ones.
Zack Nemo
Elder scrolls orcs always get the short end of the stick :(
Who was the daedric prince of insanity/chaos? I think this one belongs to him. He likes joking around and fooling the mortals.

Can you do a review/video about prison shanks?
VLNOW
Yes, please!
That would be cool!
But that's a very wide subject, shanks can be anything from a sharpened toothbrush to an actual knife
Oh god yes, i would love to see that, but TH-cam would not be happy.....
What kind of prison shank though? Theres so many ways to make one.
This
The first issue is that they made it...
Blade looks very short, uncomfy handle. Recommend for mall Ninja Hall of fame.
This knife looks broken
That's what I thought by the thumbnail
@Zack Nemo But your typical shit-quality box knife is like 1/3 the price. This hilarious disaster is fucking you and then making you pay a premium for the fucking.
This knife looks 🅱R OKE.
Not as broken as my relationship!
Is-- is that-- Isildur's Bane?
"I think we should send a copy of this dagger to Skall." "How come?" "I gave it a loose pommel."
i'm super sceptic about this "damascus" steel... could be electro edged for all i can see in the video! very suspicious!
Any blade that bills itself as "damascus" I put right up there with things that label themselves "tactical," usually shit and not worth your time.
I dislike anything calling itself Damascus. Technically, we don't even know what Damascus was.
Rachael Michelson i mean we do, we have samples. Its more the production that we haven’t quite mastered
@@joeb8935 right. Thats a better way of saying it. Thank you.
Props to you Skall for always giving an honest review, even when a company sends you an item to review for free. I know I would feel absolutely horrible having to give such a bad review on something I was given for free. It just makes your honesty that much more admirable. Cheers to you, sir.
You have a well-rounded, razor wit. Dad-jokes 10/10.
Skall tells dad jokes, but he doesn't have any kids. He's a faux pa.
Looks like a sandwich construction blade.
You mean it was constructed like a sandwich (explaining that dull stripe down the centre of the back edge)
or that it's fit only for the construction of sandwiches (but don't try to slice any really hard cheeses unless you wear gauntlets)?
Fancy tomato chopper.
For when your attacked by a killer tomato
@@weswolever7477 Using it to defend oneself against killer tomato would be most bizarre way of committing suicide.
@@PobortzaPl It's probably quite effective against killer tomatoes, or any other opponent: The moment they see someone trying to defend themselves with a knife like that, they asphyxiate in a fit of laughter at their weapon choice.
@@MrAranton You might have a point...
...which I can't say about this knife.
46$ for a damascus blade? Just the look of that damascus is sketchy the price make it even more strange. This entire thing is screaming "scam"
Looks to me like an ornament and not a functional item.
Oh, so it belongs in the garbage?
If you're going to craft a knife- craft a functional one, or don't at all.
Listed as "Outdoor Hunting Sharp Damascus Steel Straight Knife (for collection)"
If you're gonna make a knife. It better be usable. Just like those trash over the top knives that look like spiders and shit. That are made from melted down hot wheels cars. Also it's labeled "outdoor" knife so it implies it would work
@Elias Johnson - But they show you're wealthy enough for it, and at various times in various cultures that meant you were a superior fighter because you claimed enough booty or ransom to become wealthy.
@Elias Johnson they give you style points when you kill someone
What do you mean? It's a cut above the competition! They just need to slash the price down a bit, handle that a bit better, then it'll really have an edge. And that's only the tip of it's power! I have to guard this knife some more it steels the show, I -
What's that?
Oh. Ok. I'll go.
Damn, that's alot of puns!
Sorry but this knife clearly has no point.
Merilirem My tongue is clearly sharper than yours!
Boo, get off the stage.
Myredhulk can you point me the way?
That 360 rotation is most definitely a feature
*Watching Skall shaving his wrist* I feel an Asterix joke coming on.
OLD HAIRY HANDS
It looks like a mini version of a cleaver for chopping tiny logs
Make the handle smaller and give it to fairies.
D..Do you chop regular logs with a cleaver?
The knife resembles the Japanese axe cleaver, you can check it out
Chop your tiny logs to build a tiny fire for your tiny cold ants
It's for the apocalypse, when all that's left to butcher is rat meat.
At first I'll admit i was distracted by the beauty of the blade itself, then you pulled out the sheath. I literally almost died laughing.
Best laugh in a while...
The hilt, the sheath, the tear dry cloth, the comments...
Thank you for your honesty. You are given a free knife to review and you gave it a fully honest review.
Damn... the last time i was this early, there are still no Shaggy memes
Shaggy memes have been a thing for two decades.
@@tygonmaster they seem to have made a particular appearance lately though. I've never seen any until recently.
@@kylestanley7843 It is because first the Ultra Instinct meme became a thing, then it got a second wind when a few big-name artists made art of UI Shaggy and now it is getting a third win because the co-creator of Mortal Kombat posted a (probably) fake picture of Shaggy in the next Mortal Kombat game as a joke. The fires just keep getting fed.
That sheath is identical in shape and construction to the one I got with a WoodRiver "Drop point skinner knife" kit, which I picked up for about $22. Thin leather, not terribly sturdy. But at least my blade was shaped for it!
BTW - The WoodRiver blade turned out to be a decent hunting knife. I skinned and processed a whole deer with it before it started to dull, despite it using 440C steel.
Skall ,since we are talking about knives,i have been trying to ask the name of the 5th knife that appears in the weirdest knives intro,the one that looks like an hybrid between a persian combat knife and an axe,it has an offset blade . I also tried image search but with no avail.
Would you think that would be an effective shape?Since i would like to forge one similar
Then forge it. Use a still frame from the intro and draw it out and go for it.
@@MurkyWaters677 i know ,but i still would like to feel the original in the hand or at least some more images
@@MurkyWaters677 - But would it be the correct size? That affects balance and utility.
@@julietfischer5056 The design could work. As the OC stated it is axe like so it needs to forward heavy and a have good blade geometry.
congrats on the 1 million skall! I very rarely comment even though ive been watching your videos for 4 years. Its a big achievement and well deserved.
The handle looks like it belongs on a blade 3 times the size of the actual one...
I'm liking the dyed bone and resin. Best feature for sure.
I want to make beadwork with that material.
Did anyone else guffaw when he produced the sheath, or is there something wrong with me?
I literally did a double take when I glanced at the video and saw that sheath. I can only hope they just fucked up with his, and that they don't give a completely useless sheath for this knife to everyone.
@@NotWellKnown I checked the link and they show a photo of a different sheathe, more squarish, so I think it was a mistake.
Hmm, yes, guffaw... I apologise, give me just one second to GRAB MY DICTIONARY!
I just tilted my head sideways for a second, but, no, your reaction seems within reason.
Well your reaction was probably normal. However I'd bet there is still something wrong with you.
@3:22 the handle is like an rpg character that pumped everything into charisma lol wow
*Sees the knife sheeth*
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGHHHH
*Mount and Blade yelling*
I busted out laughing when you tossed the sheath up there! It’s a “”cool”” looking mall knife
The first thing I check for a blade is the freaking steel, what on earth?
The edge you're trying to demonstrate is easy to demonstrate with fine cardstock/thick stationary paper. You can quickly show a delineated cut or indent both with a quick compression rubbing or edge stubbing.
it looks like they broke a larger knife beating all those indents and made a smaller one out of whats left...
This reminds me of that old "Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey" sketch they did on SNL back before Phil Hartman was brutally murdered by his wife. The one talks about how his uncle gave him a little wooden sailboat which was whittled from a larger toy sailboat. It was still a perfectly good toy sailboat. It just had whittle marks all over it.
Skalliagrim: (bad knife jokes)
Corvus: Cut it out! (laughes)
I'm fine with making a purely decorative knife, but that blade was just ugly as sin.
I couldnt stop laughing at your take on the knife and the memes are on point. Awesome video thanks.
yup--I'll tell you what. All of these product reviews are truly awesome. I really had my eye on that Arms and Armor pole axe, and even (I think is was the) the bec de corbon, where you split the wood near the head of the weapon. I actually have a question about your experience with Arms and Armor. Did you contact them and notify them of the product defects regarding their pole arms? If so what was their response? They seem to have a fairly high reputation within the sword buying community. Upon numerous good reviews I've seen and read, I've ordered a three ring rapier from them and talked with their customer service rep because I wanted a few modifications. They were absolutely great and were able to accommodate me in every way possible. I'm really looking forward to seeing the final product. So if you did bring this to their attention, what was your experience with them? It would be good to know what their customer service is like when dealing with defective products. And actually, could you expand that a little more into which companies you've had good experiences with their customer service on the back end, where you are dealing with faulty products, and which companies you've had headaches with?
Please, keep these reviews coming. It's been a great help to me when deciding what on Kult of Athena is worth buying. They're very helpful! Cheers!
Yes, I have contacted A&A, and they offered a replacement. I went for a refund instead. Can't complain about the customer service, it's definitely good.
Oddly enough I actually have very few experiences with customer service, since most things I've had were either perfectly okay or not flawed enough to justify the hassle of shipping back and forth between Canada and the US or other countries.
Thanks---good to know! @@Skallagrim
The blade looks like waves washing over the shore. I find it beautiful.
Oh god, the window spike. Why does it have it, can we just stop.
Yeah they were very confused
I ran out of "Fluffs" along the way too!... Somebody give me some pickled eggs and craft beer!.
If they actually made a sheath for the knife itself and a wood handle , I reckon it'd be a very nice knife overall.
It does have a sheath. They sent him the wrong one. xD
@@ChrissieBear "for the knife itself" not a generic normal knife sheath
@@afinoxi That's what I mean, they DID make a sheath for the knife itself, but they sent Skall a generic sheet by accident. You can see the correct sheath on the knife's store page.
@@ChrissieBear nvm , it's not like imma buy this anyway
@@ChrissieBear but they really should go for a wood handle , what is that weird thing
I love buying online but stuff like this really grinds my gears.
"It's not real Damascus steel" as if Damascus steel had some sort of mythical properties... Damascus steel is a misnomer in the first place, it doesn't matter.
No mythical properties, just a different production method, and historically associated with the city of Damascus.
@@Skallagrim It was wrongly associated with the city of Damascus though, and there wasn't a singular method for making this wootz steel. I think Walter Sorrells made an excellent video on the topic of "historical" Damascus steel. th-cam.com/video/ISSGL4Ns2qw/w-d-xo.html
It looks like the ultimate knife not to be used as a knife, but to troll the one who gets it and to give him headache.
Im not a dog i swear
That sounds like cat talk to me!
AH ! That's exactly what a dog would say !
If dogs could speak that is.

Oh.
So... you are saying that you are not a good boy?
Yo Dawg
Methinks he doth protest too much
I couldn't help face palming as soon as that sheath dropped. XD

Unicorns obviously...
its good for hunting your own hand :P
A refund obviously
@@dwavenminer I use a rusty dull saw for unicorns.
God damn you.
Here I was, just casually listening to your review. Then you had to go and out that Dr. Evil clip in and made me have to stop what I was doing and go show it to my family.
Likes and comments without watching the damn video.
Knife looks like something the beautiful damsel in distress would wear for earrings in a 1950’s Kung fu movie.
"How bout no", I died.
It looks like it had the point broken off, then a grinder made a vaguely tanto style point. I wonder if they are all like that, or a small batch with broken points . . .
That sheath was hilarious! :)
"But I'll also put links to much BETTER knives there."
*SAVAGE*
Look at the blade's spine. The central bit is VG10 steel, the outer parts are decorative variations of 1095 with exotics. This is fake, but it works so well, I bought two folding knives with blades like this. The hard but thin VG10 core is easy to sharpen and holds its edge extremely well. The decorative outer layer protects the brittle VG10. Dreamteam stuff.
There aren't many places you can go to find a hairy canadian spending 7 minutes talking shit about a knife, love this channel.
"at least they give you a cloth to dry your tears"
LOL
The handle reminds me of the. Ww2 " theater" knives. Bored sea bees customising their pal knives.cool.thanks again for the look scall!
When he puts the sheath on the table i fuckin died hahahha
So considerate they were indeed
I love the inclusion of memes and stuff in your videos, you're on the cutting edge of comedy!
Also 0/10 no pommel to end them rightly with
Most damascus, I find, is made from plates of 15N20 and 1075, high-carbon typically.
I'm not much for the metal itself but I know the properties through and through, being a welder who works on (mostly) steel pipes. I'd say the best way to judge what steels are used in the specific case of damascus if it's not already disclosed, is a spark test on a sanding wheel or sanding belt.
as soon as you put the sheath down I started laughing.
oh wow, the site image for the knife shows a properly shaped sheath.
but I wonder. did they think you'd actually give it a good review? XD
Oh Skall, you always know how to brighten up my day
4:35 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂I'm dying, skal, I'm DYING!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂
Amazing! I mean obviously some work went into the knife, so why not for it properly?
A double pun at the end there.
Good one
That sheath made me literally lol!
Funny story, you know how most people do the "sharp enough to shave" test on their arms and hands? For some reason my arm and hand hair is very soft and thin, almost like a dog's, so I need to either use my face or legs to do that test. I've seen my dad do it for the knives I sharpened for him and it shaved perfectly. He handed it to me to do the same and it barely cut off two hairs.
For that price i can get two Mora Companions. They don't look as pretty, but they have a proper sheath, are also shaving sharp and have a comfortable grip that you can actually hold onto without risk of injury.
The handle reminds me of my grandma’s silverware, I always liked how they looked
It's a very pretty box cutter/letter opener, I'll give it that
I love the shape of the blade, and with a couple minor adjustments (shape, removal of the rotating bit at the bottom and the sharp bit) the handle could be made excellent as well. It really is impressive that just one or two problems can utterly ruin a knife.
That looks really similar to the stuff Frost Cutlery puts out. I have a similar knife. The blade and edge are amazing but the handle and tang are visibly offset to the side. It looks very pretty until you take a closer look at it and realize it's quality materials and a good blade and it's all just slapped together.
"Well, it's kind of a double-edged sword..."
Gave the video a like just because just because of that "Stay Sharp" ending
I actually laughed out loud when you dropped the completely mismatched sheath beside it. What a beautiful mess.
I own a similar knife. The handle is better made and it is also very sharp. I use mine as a scraper when I making bows- works really well.
Flaxen Saxon
5:29 I’m really fukin high and I laughed at this for like 5 mins +
How the fuck am I not subscribed to you??? I love you man
yeah i think as you say, it would be a good project knife. what i would personally do is thin the handle a little bit and make it a lot more oval and then depending on what their fixing style choice is depends on how i secure the handle down. maybe some form of very polished domed screw or nut (as i said, depends on what they chose) and throw a bit of 2 part epoxy in between the handle disks. then just create a new sheath and job done!
too bad i cant actually do any of that as i do not have any of the tools
"The handle is like and rpg character that dumped everything into charisma..."
Best description ever.
"so, we have this incredibly shape edge. What do we pair it with?"
"Probably a handle that looks sharp."
"Say no more"
"Ok. Thanks...wait, wait! THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT..."
I can't believe that joke made the ... cut
The link in the description shows a correct looking sheath.
I’d put that knife on my desk and just look at it. It is pretty.
However, I have lots of serious knives for the actual tasks that I need a knife for.
They shouldn’t have sent a sheath with it. They should have sent those little things that hold a knife for viewing inside a display case.
And I love your channel.
At least it's some kind of stainless! I bought a "Damascus" knife once, and it was some kind of mild steel that rusted terribly when I wasn't looking.
That's a husa knife otherwise known as an achang dao. They, like most dao, range in size from utility knife to something with a blade of 25 inches (63.5cm). The knife is popular with a specific ethnic minority in China and bears resemblance to the dha/daab/dharb of Burma, Thailand and Laos. Whoever designed this one watched a lot of Cutlery Corner in the 90s and has a thing for knives made in Pakistan. Back then Pakistani steel with colorful laminated plywood and/or acrylic handles was the gold standard for flea market swords here in North America. I like that the company's website lets you choose between steel, stainless steel and 440 stainless steel. That inspires a lot of faith. 🤔
I was laughing the whole time you talked sbout the sheath
The sharp edge on the handle isnt an error. It is but it isn't. Bone shrinks and expands with humidity. Its likely the bone wasn't fully dried when the handle was shaped.
