Cudeman MT5 review

cudememe anon Tue 25 Jul 2017 09:11:52 No.1067714 View View Reply Original Report

This is a short review of the Cudeman MT5 or 120M.
I fell for the Cudememe about two weeks ago and since I was in need of a nice stainless outdoors knife with all the restrictions and advantages of stainless steel for my regions weather, I decided on the recently shilled Cudememe MT5.

The knife and leather sheath come in a nice cardboard Box with all the info required, and no papers or instructions were included. I think this is a relatively good idea since you should do your research before buying something, and also since I bought it from Ebay from a seller 'mundoregals2011' who are a legit distributor of Cudeman (Cudeman says that for their lifetime warranty, you should contact the seller you bought it from and I'm blatantly shilling mundoregals2011 because of their quick response time), the bill for the knife is on Paypal/debit card.

The knife and sheath fit relatively well together, there isn’t any knifeplay, because the bolster fits perfectly in the sheath. The sheath itself is made out of quality leather, I can tell by the texture, the work on the leather and the smell of the leather itself. The red stitching on the leather go well together with the red lining on the micarta handles.

The knife is relatively heavy at about 230g, and looks a bit short for the design in mind. However, it does look sturdy, no matter the feeling of being small out of the sheath.

you're a fucking idiot.

A side photo of the knife itself. The handles are designed like something similar to a kitchen knife, and since the handles are micarta and the whole blade is N695 Böhler and the bolster is A304 stainless, it can safely be used when wet without the fear of slipping.

The knife fits well in the hand, and the jimping on the blade seems a bit rough but its actually wuite comfortable.

the only thing that stands out from the whole deal are the screws that dont exacty sit flush with the handles. but that seems to be the only thing a bit off on the knife.

Looks decent, the only thing I'm not a fan is the metal bolster, hole and that ricasso could be smaller otherwise that's my style of blade.

Yeah I hear ya. Im mostly a lurker here but I realized that I need a knife that wont need to be replaced every other year, so I might as well invest in something a bit better than the Walmart tier crap Ive been buying during the years. It looks very untacticool but I dont care about that, the less intimidating it looks the more normal it is when you take it with you in the car, sled or hike. Its sharp as fuck I already cut myself like a real normie

It's sad this is a concern but I actually share it with you. In Europe people are so indoctrinated to frown upon something dangerous that they will freak out if if a knife looks more threatening than it already is.
I stopped edc'ing a "tactical" folder because of that.
And to think that knives were seen as integral part of life throughout millenniums in this continent.

The tactical stuff in knives is just for looks and signalling your insecurity around. I won't for the former as I don't like the design, and I don't need the latter.

Yeah the tacticool effect is a big seller of knives because guys like the 'wooow daz a cool kneif d00d' the tacticool usually carries. That being said, there's less and less knives that arent tacticool because knife makers realized that tacticool sells.

I was digging it until leather sheath. Is it too impossible to ask for a stainless steel /out/ blade with g10 and a kidex sheath?

The holes are there so you can tie it to a stick and make a spear to stab the heart of your enemies.

so you're.. agreeing with me?

If you have a knife you make a spear by carving a spear point and fire hardening, not by strapping your knife to the end of a stick.

Im not agreeing nor disagreeing with you, its just that the tang is 5mm thick, and the hole is still on the ricasso side of the blade so it doesnt really make any difference on a N695/440C steel. It doesnt have to be there, but it is

>'The blade has a quarter-inch hole just north of the handle and below the spine enough to not affect the blades’s strength. While likely included as Spyderco’s trademark “spider hole,” it also serves some obvious functions. One option is to use the hole in tandem with the lanyard hole to tie the knife to a branch making a fine spear. Or you could use paracord to secure the blade sharp-side out onto a branch or tree trunk.' (Spyderco Bushcraft review, JFGI)
Gee I dont know, maybe the hole is there to fit all your knife knowledge in there, since its obviously a normal thing on a lot more expensive and well known knives.

get out of my /out/

Also OP if thats really 440C equivalent, its a good catch at >100$

okay name me them, then.

Other than spyderco, who originally came up with the hole as an opening mechanism and an alternative to a traditional folder's stud. The 'spydie hole' is instantly recognisable, and for this reason ONLY it is also on their fixed blades.

It's the same reason they have it on their non one handed opening blades like the DK folder and pingo - it serves no purpose other than to identify the knife as a Spyderco.

also,

This is how you sound. If something doesnt fit the /out/istic spectre, you sperg out. I really like that hole now, and everytime I see it on a Cudeman, It'll remind me on how many /out/ists foam at the mouth when they see it. Perfect.
