I’ve never had a complaint about a tac force knife, but I’m also realistic about what I expect from a $10 knife.
exactly
You are right!!
I have a stiletto style spring assited tac force that cost me six bucks lol have had it for three years and it still works.
bought 1 from a place in a mall called “the morgue”
25$.
I’m not a fckin knife connoisseur lol
If I see a cool knife that stands out, I’ll buy it. I’m not a geeky nerd like this weirdo in the video
It’s the TF-727 model with a glass breaker and seatbelt cutter
I pick the one that I can carry in public (illegally) that’ll do the most damage, that’s how I view a knife when I look for em lol
@@sturrrdy lol same, but I still wanna know the material or the hardness tho, don't wanna get ripped off
I bet you have cool looking knives collection, would really love to see it. I only have 3 knife so far ;)
I have $500 knives and $10 knives and I've realized over the years, you are mostly paying for the name in the $500 range. I'll never buy another Benchmade, huge waste of money. My little Tac Force isn't a bad knife at all
For a second i thought i had the playback speed at 2x
LOL
I fr just tried slowing it down
Thats how fast I talk sometimes
Same here.
Y’all dumb bums
I had a very nice Benchmade knife. I was fishing at the pier one day. I went to get my keys out my pocket, the keys caught on my knife and pulled it out too. The knife fell on the pier and went through the one gap in the boards that was big enough for it to fit. Straight into the ocean never to be seen by me again. $130 gone just like that.
Now I only use Mtech or Tac force knives. They're sharp enough for my use and if I lose one, oh well. I'm out $6.
Maybe you didn't carry your Benchmade how they're meant to be carried. I edc a Benchmade claymore. Tac force and mtech are no match to Benchmade. I put my claymore through cutting tasks that would snap the handle off the blade of your tac force lol. I've had it for close to 1 year. No chips in the blade. Minimal ware on the handle and blade.
Benchmade logic: Cuts anything you ask safely. Costs $100+
Tac force logic: Cut anything your Benchmade cuts no problem and you will be buying a new knife afterwards or you'll have a blade snap out of place and nick you in the eye all because you were dumb enough to buy a tac force.
Costs: no more than $30
I'm way more careful with my knives due to pride of ownership. I do not get any joy carrying a tac force. If I lost any one of my knives, it would be replaced with another or something better that gives me more happiness.
@@Colynthesavagewhat are u cutting that would break the blade off?
@@JYNXZI_SZN Ive used it as a pry bar. Ive used it to cut copper pipes and wiring.
While watching some other knife videos, came across yours. No question they are inexpensive. But, I bought a few as gifts for my boys and they have carried them as EDC for several years, used them constantly and never had a complaint. Both had a clean snappy open with the finger assist, locked in place well, closed easily and cut. Decently sharp out of the box, with a quick sharpen they were even better. It's easy to get one's snob on given the massive variety available, including some fabulous knives. That said, it's also easy to dismiss the less expensive varieties as not worthy. Some may not be. There was no need for my boys to have $200 knives, yet. Had the tac force knives crapped out, I would have picked them up something else, a Kershaw, or Spyderco for example, better but still not top drawer. Didn't need to. As noted, the Tac Force knives have survived well through a substantial workout. They've been opened thousands of times and haven't failed yet. Considering they cost about $9, there is not much that warrants complaint.
A friend of mine uses his every day for work and his blade is tight, easy to sharpen, and he said that he's carried it every day for the past several years. He ordered one for me and it's a stout knife. sharp out of the box. nearly to tight to flip open with side bar, and is way to tight to flip open with the thumb assist. but I would be willing to bet that it'll last me for years to come.
I've had tac force knives for years and every one I've bought is perfect. The alignment was perfect. And they have lasted me about 4 years now so I don't know what you are talking about
Which ones did u have
The issue is their consistency of quality control. I've purchased them, handled tacs owned by others, and broken many. Just opening some have broken them. That isn't to say I haven't handled a good one, like I'm talking perfect alignment, no blade play, razor sharp out the factory. But the majority of tacs I've handled have all been dog shit. And that's only because they simply do not have a good quality control measure implemented into their manufacturing process.
tac force sucks buy the boker klashnoklawf
My tac force is perfect 5 years still going strong
@@kingearrape3488 same
The level of hater from this dude literally sounds like a 10 yr old who just lost a game on call of duty
I've personally owned at least 5 different style Tac-Force knives & had very few problems, those being that one wasn't super sharp out of box & the other being a significantly loosened belt clip, the latter being on a knife I've had for around 5 years & dropped many many times on concrete floors. I don't expect a $10-$15 knife to be indestructible but this guy makes it sound like they're gonna crumble to bits instantly. That first one didn't even say Tac-Force.
“It feels like your firing a gun” have you ever fired a gun before lol
I collect knives. I've had literally hundreds and have about 150 now. Quite a few are tac force and mtech. I only edc carry tac force, mtech or schrader because they have cool looking knives and if I loose any of them no big deal. I once lost a 100 knife and declared I only carry cheap and collect quality. That's my 2cents.
That was a full speech inspiration to buy one.
People get 10 dollar knives and get posed when they don’t look and perform like a 200 dollar knife.
If you know what you’re doing, a cheap knife can last you a long time. If you’re going cheap, first off, get a fixed blade, or a classic lockback folding hunter. Make peace with the fact it will need to be sharpened. Don’t torture the knife. Use it for what it was made for. And that’s it.
The z hunter is not a tac force knife
I found it on a website and it was listed as a tac force.
@@cholito1989 z hunter is by Mtech. But tac force may make some zombie themed stuff
Honestly sometimes your just complaining that we all dont have the 100's of dollars to spent on ONE knife
Wow... This fellow might have been expecting a little back up from the comments, but all I find here are very positive testimonials about TacForce knives. No one else is griping. You know the old adage, "If you can't say something nice.... don't say anything at all".
I’ve had a tf-469 I bought for like 7 dollars for about 4 years now. Let me tell you, for the price the quality of it is amazing. I carry it when I do heavy work because I wouldn’t care if I lose it or break it. The lock is still solid, it has no blade play, the coating surprisingly in good shape (considering that I probably opened a dozen cans with this thing). I also had bought a model that looked more simplistic so it doesn’t stick out. One thing though, the steel is terrible. I have to sharpen it back up constantly.
I've owned one of the green skull patterned tac force knifes for 2 years now and I've edc it a few times and its not failed me yet it doesn't hold the best edge but otherwise I've never run into any problems and I don't mind the design it's actually kinda cool if you don't mind flashy knife patterns
i keep my tacforce knives right next to my BRS and my Benchmade's >:D
I have the joker tac force knife and it works really good!!
do you still have it? if so, what do you think about it now?
@@thebluesrockers I still have it. It works fine, but you just have to sharpen it a lot.
Almost every video I ever watch (and I listen to YT videos all day long for work), I have to kick up to 1.5x but not with this guy! He speaks like a normal human. Thanks!
EDIT: It's been 2.5 years since this video came out and the prices are almost, not quite, double today. RIP USD. Inflation is a B.
You picked the two worst ones they have and did a review. In my line of work a Tac-Force knife comes in handy sometimes, they hold an edge and if for some reason it falls apart or breaks I've lost $15.00 and not $30.00
I've never had any problem with Tac Force. In fact, I think they are a great intro knife. These and Ozark trail lets you find the ergonomics you like in knives then you can go higher quality. All my old Tac Force and Ozark trail knives have lasted me for years and are great beaters as well.
It’s fine if you want to criticize cheap knives for having bad paint jobs, but when you make nonsensical complaints you are outing yourself as someone who doesn’t know what you are talking about. There’s nothing wrong with a “thin liner lock” if it stays in place and the reason for drilling holes in a blade is to make it lighter for balance. As far as the blade being off-center, that is a matter of preference; you can adjust how tight/centered the blade is with a little thing called a screwdriver.
If I leave my tac force on my knight stand will you switch it with a better knife
Those $10 knives are throw away knives there the ones you throw in your tool box if anything happens to them you just throw them away
judges the a whole company by two gimmick display knives that no one uses seriously. leaves out all the regular edc tac force knives.
The ones I have are great! Plus, most of the knives I do purchase are display pieces. I rarely ever use them. But the details like the alignment and spring assistance is perfect on all of mine. Maybe I just got lucky, but maybe not
Same
I've got Spydercos, Benchmades, Kershaws, Gerber, CRKTs, you name it but I think the knives I enjoy the most are the 5 to 10 dollar ones I have. No they won't baton a tree stump but 95 percent of the time we use knives to open mail or packages and they work perfect. Don't listen to this guy he has no idea what he's talking about. Dude step away from the coffee. By the way I've been carrying pocket knives for around 45 years and I know their limitations.
bought my TF-705BK in 2016 for $7.95 and never had an issue over 6 years. Just use it to cut open shit.
Yeah um I have a tac-force evolution tanto-style fixed blade and it is such an amazing camp knife. That thing can baton without blinking, and it does look really good. Four years in and still going strong so you should probably look a little further into the company before you threaten to take the best bushcraft/camp knife I’ve ever had...
I love tac force. Cheap n really sturdy knifes. Not once did I oil or sharpen my 1st tac n years later still good as new
a knife is a knife. a $6 knife will just as easily tear through most flesh/tissue just as well as any other "pro" knife. If you are spending more than $30 on a knife for self defense. You are unfortunately ultimately losing, finance-wise
If your "life depends on it" then just buy a gun and get CCW license. for the money some people pay for "pro" knives, just buy a hipoint or canik TP9 chambered in 9mm for self defense and have it in a concealed holster or in your car once you have your carry or CCW license.
Still waiting for you to get a non-gag knife from Tacforce to show off, no one gets the two you got for actual use. I use Tacforce and MTech for throwaway knives to use up and replace. Bring forth good reasons and knives people would actually buy when you try to diss a company
Tacforce and MTech make plenty of non-cheesy “classy” or “respectable” knives
I have 3 tac force sawback clip point blade skull knives. They are amazing and highly underestimated.
This guys dad did the television ads for Micro Machines back in the 80's.
I’ve never opened a knife and had it fell like I just shot a gun. 🤔 you ever shot a gun before bud?
There’s a pretty well known murder case where someone gets killed with a Tac Force. Terrible way to go
Do you know any good physical stores that you can get some pretty good knives from?
This might sound strange but Walmart actually carry's some good brands ie. kershaw, spyderco
Great vid man, when I started out I made the mistake of buying a tac force knife that was meant to look like a switchblade. Let’s just say it’s in my trash and long gone now.
Its a mistake I think every collector makes at the beginning of there collection "career"
Yeah I got a red tac force karambit and it’s menacing, and sharp but I wish it would switch open a little faster
Is it the tac Force tf-719bk?
Holy crap, I bet you can see into the future with glasses that thick!
LOL
@@JohnGulish I hope you know I'm just kidding around. Love your channel
i have a tac-force knife, and from what ive seen, its not that bad of a knife. i feel like it is not made for collectors, but for more of a use item that does work when you need it, but isnt the nicest looking. then again, the one i got wasnt made for the looks, as it isnt a bunch of fancy colors with a serrated edge.
knives from master cutlery distributors like tac force and mtech are like the hi-points of the knife world. they're the cheapest options available and aren't as good quality as the next step up in price range, but in my experience they're still surprisingly usable despite their many flaws (at least depending on the model you get and QC. some are much less durable than others)
What do you think about the Tac Force Karambit Flipper Folding Knife, Assisted Opening, Black Handle, TF957BK, I’m in the market for an assisted karambit and this seems to be the only one under $60. Should I just splurge and get QSP Eagle
I got one for basically $1+ tax. (was $9.99 but I added it to an order and got free shipping -$8.99) and let me tell you...
...It's just terrible even for $10. It was dull right out of the box, the glassbreaker was attached by glue to a plastic spacer in the handle, the torsion bar makes it slam shut from about 45° when closing which would be dangerous (if it was sharp enough to cut something) and I had to cut a screw slot it the pivot to be able to tighten the wobbly blade. I had to put in work just to make it usable, and an hour later I had a new favorite knife...to leave in the drawer when I'm choosing a knife to carry for the day.
If you're at a gas station and you absolutely must have an ugly sharp piece of metal that folds up, right now, sure...buy a tac-force. Otherwise, go to Walmart or something, and get yourself a cheap Gerber, or Kershaw. It won't be 5 different colors with pictures of American flags, and punisher skulls on it, but it will be a well constructed (safer) knife with better blade steel.
Mtech are not really good knives either, but the ones I've seen are still better than this Tac-Force.
It's mainly bought as a beater knife.Abuse the heck out of it, and or give it to someone who doesn't carry a knife.Good price for that.
My friend has one, it’s not like urs, but it’s really durable. And I’ve never had a complaint
The drill out holes are there because when you stab someone or something a suction forms , the holes elevate the suction so you can pull it out easier otherwise it gets stuck or it’s just hard to pull out.
i got a rlly cool looking spring assisted tac force for like 13 or something. It looks great the tip is sharp the only problem is that the edge isnt that sharp :/ I got that tac force karambit in black coming in the mail and a kershaw shuffle
just buy a knife sharpener and that should help they are like $5
I agree. Horrible knives, but for $10 not bad.
I just hit the 15-20 tack force with a piece of wood. I didn't go supper crazy but I hit it 7-10 times. It held up. I was surprised
Guys fr just honestly put it on 0.75x and he sound normal
I have a tac force That’s more of a plain look and it’s actually somewhat decent quality except for the fact that it’s stainless steel
I got a tac force knife when i was like 13, and it looked really cool! it had like a blue chineese dragon on it, and it was so cool. the springloaded blade is actually pretty nice, after a few years of having it it hasn't broken and still popps out pretty fast. however- good lord the blade is awful. the blade itself has this giant hole at the base, so its got less than in inch of metal supporting it. not to mention, in box it came duller than a butter knife, and I STILL have not been able to get it to sharpen. Cool looks, Awful usability.
I love my Tac Force Knife . They are cool knife. Plus it only cost $10. Dollars 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Got mine now (spring assisted speed karambit in black / red). In my opinion, it's a great knife, especially considering the price. It is solid, well built, nothing cheap or trash. The blade is very sharp and pointy out of the box, it opens fast and smooth, arresting firmly and there is absolutely not 1/1000 milimeter play - never mind if opened or closed. Also, the blade is centered absolutely and 100% exactly. To close, you have to press the liner firmly - which shows, that it has a strong resistance and stays in place when the blade is opened; being closed, the blade does not snap immediately - you have to add a good pressure, because you have to "work against" the spring, assistening the opening motion, which also is a very good characteristic, because one can control the closing very exactly. I got the impression that it locks very secure (nevertheless one should avoid impacts on the spine, for the knife is not made for this).
Once opened, the opening flipper protrudes on the downside of the handle in front of your finger, and - given, you do not have too small hands - so offers a protection if the blade is unlocked unfortunately, because it's the flipper which touches your finger first, and not the blade itself. The red spine with inside-serrations along the upper side of the handle helps - together with the very well crafted serrations on the handle and the upper part of the finger ring - to provide a good overall-grip, stabilizes both the finger ring on the rear and the front-part,where the blade rotates. The 4 holes in the handle save weigth and are a nice design - also, especially the hole next to the finger ring, can be used to fix a lanyard etc. Even the mentioned inside-serrated spine provides such possibilities.
For me the only - minor - downsize is the clip: The knife protrudes from the pocket a little bit - which is good for grabbing it, but bad for concealment - and using the clip, you can only carry tip down / finger ring down. To open it, the knife has not only the flipper, but thumb studs on both sides of the blade, too. The finger ring is "Emerson-Style", consisting of 2 parallel rings, which I do like for control.
In closed position, one can use the knife as an impact tool and, maybe, also as a glass breaker - the tip seems pointy and sturdy enough.
Maybe mroldman had bad luck with his tac force knife - me, I cannot find any bad characteristic. Perhaps one could consider, that these knives are produced over years and mine could be a younger one, where some flaws were eliminated. Or: I had extremely good luck. All in all I would give this knife 9 out of 10 stars.
Here in Europe we cannot buy it as cheap as in the states - I paid approx 25 dollars - but even for this price I guess, this knife is formidable. To give 10 stars, it should have a backlock or a triadlock and the wave feature, also the option to carry tip up / ring up. Glad to have it. Worth every Cent, and even would be worth a higher price. Congrats to Tac Force. And: mroldman - no offence. Just personal opinion.
yea i think tac force isnt really aiming for actual use knives and just goes for look a fancy thingy u can show off and not use, some tac force knives are pretty decent for a low price, u just gotta sharpen them more then high quality ones
what do you expect from $10 knife.
Mans said it is like firing a gun bruh what
Me watching this holding a tac
force
My first knife was a Swiss Army knife
The Cowboy same!!
I used my tac force every day for two years now an it works great
I have the zhunter and it's in my curio cabinet for display. I have a red rebel flag tacforce rescue speedster assisted opening knife and I love it.
My first knife was a kabar. Love a kabar.
Buy what you want, if you like it buy it.
I feel like you're biased against them. I would never say "Don't buy a Tac-Force knife. Ever." I would say, "Don't take Tac-Force seriously."
That's just semantics. None of us know YTers personally, so we are all capable of interpreting "don't ever" edicts on videos as "I don't recommend, but you do you". It's easy for us all. 🙂
You think those are bad? Wait until you see the two bladed Karambit they made, It looks a childrens’ toy compared to the Camo knife in my opinion.
Are these illegal in California ? Like carry every day ?
I don’t plan on killing anyone. I just want a cheap fidget toy. I wouldn’t buy those goofy designs though.
DIDNT KNOW NICK EH 30 HAS KNIVES
Dont listen to this BS, Tacforce knives can actually be pretty good, ive NEVER seen the locking mechanism fail on ANY of them. And a wobbly blade? Oh no, whatever shall i do?
Maybeee oh, saaaay, tighten it a little with a screwdriver?? I do that with ALL my knives.
And i spring assisted knife FLYING OUT of your hand?? Really?? Ive never even seen that happen in videos or movies, its total horse shit. Now I get people have personal preference, but bashing products with facts that just really arent true?
No.
Just lost my small fav force I carried for3 years just got a tac force 848.
You have not proven the statements you make. I have some tac-force karambit folders that I have beaten the hell out of and they still hold up. I have high end blades also and have no issue carrying a tac-force folder for defense only purposes. I hate knife snobs....FYI those Kershaw knives you showed are made in the same place as the tac-force blades...hmmmm...
Ebay is forcing me to buy tac-force
But i dont want to
Wow really amazing/awesome video!!!
Thank you
@@JohnGulish you're very welcome 😊!!!
There great! Love em...dont even have one yet but love em'!
I mainly bought a tac force karambit for practice rather than for practical usage
William Kiker that’s logical you don’t need to pay extra money for good edge retention or other fancy things if you aren’t cutting any thing and just flipping it around
Its a $10 knife..thats all that needs to be said
imagine comparing a 10 dollar knofe to a 40 dollar knife should
I didn't regret it..?
That are good knives 🔪
ok you lie cause my tac force milano is a great knife ive have if for a while and the edge is still there i own a bunch of "gas station" as you would say and i keep very sharp edges on all of them
Well has someone getting into knife collecting I'm buy some here there since there just throw away knives To compare quality vs crap and to use and trash for basic crap that rather not use better knives on
Ha, too late, I already bought the tac force spring assisted rainbow balisong... which isnt a balisong.
It didnt say it was a balisong but it did look like one.
Did Nick Shabaz send you all these knives after he did his Gas Station Knife Show?
Not bad. Hope you review the Emerson Karambit and the Fox version.
Maaaan! Greats from the Middle East. Tac Force is amazing and the price is 60$. Not so cheap. And... They are not bad.)(
ganzo,kizer,smith...are the knife
LOL! If John Gulish did his google search he'd know that this isn't a tac force but z-hunter (brand owned by master cutlery) tac force has nothing to do with this, to say that the karambit is tac force and make video about it really shows his level of intelligence. Anyway tac force does make similar style karambits and to be honest there is nothing wrong with them I find them besides being affordable, also really great! This guy is just a tool :D The camo knife is the ONLY tac force here and again every knife has it's purpose and I find them to be just fine.
Bought one of their fixed blade knifes. The handle is to small to hold on to.
If you want to defend yourself get a craps knife that you don't mind breaking,
or getting dirty
If you want to get into knife collecting first thing you want or do is watch cutlery lover research knife steels and knife locks and stay away from the junk. Oh and sub to mroldman of course
Just needed a simple cool looking pocket knife, i think this will do, hope ill not regret it, hope it dosent brake in one day thats more important to me
tac force knifes kick butt. never had no problems with them. the chines are making some good knifes these days. just as good as American if not better, for 1. 10th of the price. I have 10 dollar chines knifes just as good as some 60 to 80 dollar knifes. I survived 6 months in the jungle with a 10 dollar tac force knife. the more you know the less you need. semper fi.
Dont hunt me down! I bought a Tac Force 10.5" knife. 🤦♂️😂 I honestly love them. But even as someone who knows nothing about knife collecting, the price point was a dead giveaway that it is crap. I know your about to rip me a new one, but I'm probably going to buy another 10.5" tac force. 😂 And I also have that zombie karambit blade too.
Did he ever hunt you down, some 2.5 years later? lol
@@BPoweredLove luckily not. Probably because I admitting I know nothing about quality knives 🤷😅
@@cholito1989 lol!! I hear ya. I too know nothing about knives. While out hiking in the desert with my wife, I found one laying near the trail. I took it home, cleaned it up, researched it and realized I had found a $9 knife! Haha! So then I bought a Byrd (related to SpyderCo, I think?) because I wanted a "decent" but cheapish knife. But just this morning, I bought a big Tac Force because I think that it can serve its purpose - I'd like a nice new big knife that I don't really care about bc it's so cheap. It was $12 or so. Ten and a half inches. It might be the same as yours!
Come on man! You sound like you're talking to 18 year olds hanging around a gas station and/or head shop. I have had a lot of knives ranging from $8 to $2K. I EDC a $12 Tac Force T94 Black Ops because I don't mind losing it every 6 months but it'll also serve me well for the rough use stuff.
I have like 2 knives by tac force out of all 60 of my knives. I use it at the very minimum though. It is by no means my every day carry. You mentioned the brand I carry everywhere I go. Microtech!!! Yep, I am with you 100% microtech is over the top as far as quality and price. The price part being over the top is for a reason though. Its because Microtech isnt one of them brands you buy and regret day 1. My opinion is if you get a tac force then make sure you use it on something that will break it. They are not meant to last a lifetime like microtech. Gerber which is the same price range is even better than Tac force🤙🏻🤙🏻
Mtech = tac force.. exact same company
@@JoeyMac10blackpen Yes. Mtech and Microtech arent the same.
I like me some #Kershaw basic knives, like their Own it series. And I like rocken a cheapo gas station knife, with glass breaker & strap cutter for messy rough EDC tasks. Enjoy the novelty of the designs from #TacForce.
Duh
lol
its a knife, fool,
waht is wrong with it???
The king of mall ninja knives. Don’t trust them with your life they will end up hurting you
Exactly
