Hi everyone, this is a video reviewing a Reate OG Exo and comparing it to my $40 fake that I got on AliExpress.
They’re both 3mm** in thickness, not 30mm. I misspoke!
Setting aside comparing it to the clone for a second. That was probably the best review of the exo that I have seen. Or at least covered the wiggle and rattle better then any other review that I have seen. Kinda shocking comparing the clones to the originals and seeing how often the cheap clones seem to have tighter tolerances than the originals. Especially considering the price. Thanks as always.
Thank you again for your support! Hearing that my reviews are helping people really means a lot to me. I mean that sincerely. As for your comment about clones often being close to the original - I absolutely agree. I remember getting my first Microtech after using a fake for some time and thinking “wait - did I just get another fake?”. Bit of a shock but there are times when the fake is as good if not better than the original. The Vespa scarab, for example, is better than the original from my experience.
Thank you man! Dude I came across the clone on Amazon and couldn’t resist. One day when the kids are grown and I can justify the price of a real one I will have it but till then this will do👍🏻
You’re welcome! For the price I don’t think it’s a bad knife. The only downside is the D2 steel but i hope you enjoy it. There’s very little that could go wrong with it. Take care!
What was the listing name on amazon? I can't find it.😢
@@DefrostedNeanderthal It was labeled under carrot knife on Amazon.
The exo m does come with the same looking clip. To be honest, that's a pretty good fake. Im still going to purchase the exo mini just to complete the set.
I hope you enjoy your new Exo!
Thats crazy how close they are given the price differences. Just bought a $40 clone myself, and i hope its as good as yours seems to be.
I agree - I was surprised as well. I used “China MT Knives Store” but there are several others. For the price it’s not bad at all. I hope you enjoy yours and thanks for your comment man!
@@GigiEDC Can vouch for this store as well, I love the version they sent me. Plus the real one is a bit too overpriced imo.. End of the day it's a part of my collection, and not a edc
I hear that, that’s what I’m doing with it also. Take care brother!
Since the algorithm likes comments lol. Which store did you use? Was looking at the one on jufule. After watching some (most) of your other videos I did order a hifinder delta frag combat troodon. Figured I would wait to see if they adjusted the blade shape on the big dragon like you mentioned. Thanks.
Thank you for boosting the algorithm and watching brother! I used “China MT Knives Store” but there’s a few sellers. Some are $60 but after seeing the videos they sent me, they appear to be the same exact knife. And I hope you like your HiFinder! Did you receive it yet? And is it the M390 version?
@@GigiEDC Have not received it yet. Will See how the shipping to Colorado goes. I got the D2 tanto Delta Frag. I love the dagger shapes but from a user standpoint the geometry of the dagger is a bit lacking. So got the tanto as a user/abuser and I think will wait and get the Gen 3 with the dagger since it has the longer blade. Guess also see how the over all alixpress purchase goes since it is my first order there. Thanks again.
I hope you like them! Tantos are definitely more practical. If your tanto D2 is a HiFinder, you’ll probably like it. I’ve had good experiences with them. Hopefully Vespa will come out with a single edge Gen III CT soon as well. In the mean time I’m thinking about picking up a Vespa Scarab single edge. Take care and if you want, update me when you get them in. Thanks for the support!
Just talked to the guy from CHEEDC - Vespa apparently fixed the issue. I just bought one and I’ll update when it arrives!
So got my fake from dhgate, 22 bucks perfect zero rattle.
Glad you like it bro!
I have 4 exos i love them. Now when talking about the rattling and loosness. If you grip that knife the rattling goes away so when you are using it it is solid more solid then any otf because you can controll the pressure applied to the blade. Which most it not all OTF habe blade play when in hand. In my opinion so what as long as its solid when i have it in hand. Its the mechanisim that attracts me to it ...i can hanfle a little rsttle
Absolutely. I commented on that towards the end and it’s possible mine wasn’t a good representation of how most Exos are. Take care and enjoy your knives!
You are comparing a clone of Exo-M (3.25" blade) with a geniune Exo (3.75) version. The clone is a great fidget tool but unfortunately it has unusable stiffest clip and the knife prone to open in a pocket to bite your hand with very sharp tip in case you don't put a safety lock on.
Yes, you’re right! Originally I had the names of both in the title but it seemed too wordy so I changed it. Not exactly apples to apples but I thought it would at least demonstrate differences in quality, You’re absolutely right about the pocket clip too, great observation. I forgot to mention that - it really is unbelievably stiff. Take care!
I have a real EXO-M. Doesn't have nearly the slop of your larger one. Small amount of play and when gripped it has none.
I’ll have to check it out and compare them then. Glad to hear it’s not an issue across the board. Thanks for your comment, take care!
They got the same junk clone on Amazon for 30$
I saw that, not bad for the price if you want something to play around with. Wouldn’t expect much use from the blade though. Thanks for commenting!
