For years I fell into the hype around Sanity. And I was an advocate of theirs. Now it's been a few years and I have a much better understanding of businessn products, marketing, and manufacturing in regards to weapons but most specifically knives and knife steel. I've begun to realize that Sanity is all hype and not a lot of quality. Most of their products are outsourced from China and poorly manufactured, and can be found on common websites such as Amazon for a much better price. Anyways, this is my updated review now that I'm aware, replacing my previous 5 star raving review.
These guys have great customer service. And I used to love their knives. A lot. But as I got more into knives, I started to realize that Sanity's knives are chinese metal garbage. The blade material is extremely low end and the Damascus isn't heat treated AT ALL and bends like a paper clip. A good knife could literally cut Sanity's Damascus blades in half. As cool as they look, as you can see from my picture, they just can't be trusted to do any kind of real work or defense without bending and breaking. You can find a high quality knife for the same price that won't bend or break even under high stress. Remember, NOT ALL DAMASCUS STEELS ARE CREATED EQUAL and that goes for each and every other kind of steel as well. It's all about the quality of materials and manufacturing and the heat treatment of the steel. This steel is clearly cheap Chinese garbage that definitely looks cool but for the price I expect a functional knife. Wasted money.
The steel knuckles are good though. But the otf knives are made with crappy steel also, although not quite as bad as their Damascus. And you can find the exact same necklaces and rings on Amazon for 1/4-1/2 the price.
All that being said, Sanity still has the best warranty. So maybe to some that just want a cool looking knife but won't ever do more than open packages with it, then Sanity knives would be a fine option for you, because the knives won't break doing that so you don't need to worry about getting hurt. The OTF knives are really fun too, again only to open packages. The Jewelry looks great, and it's a bit more expensive than you can get on Amazon but Sanity will replace them forever if they break and I had a necklace break and they sent a new one right away, just needed to see pictures of where it broke. It was the clasp.
So, Sanity could be a great place to buy from if you're not buying knives that you'll need to depend on. But just know that you're paying for the name and the warranty, not high quality items, and...
Read moreA friend and I took a trip to Daytona Florida to visit with family, one of the things that we decided to do was drive to visit Sanity which is a little more than 100 miles each way from where we were. I have to say, I and my friend both are so very happy that we did! Upon entering the store, we were greeted with a smile and we both felt very comfortable with the staff that was helping to assist us with a huge selection of exquisite products! We both ended up leaving the store with multiple bags for our purchases! Not only did we purchase things that we wanted for our own use, but the selection was so wonderful that we both purchased gifts as well while we were there! I can not scream the praises from the highest mountain tops loud enough for you to understand how delighted we are with our experience with the staff, as well as the excellent quality of the merchandise that was available. While we were there, I purchased the last one of a patch that was available in the showroom so today I sent a text message to them asking if they might have anymore that just were not on the sales floor. Let me tell you, within MOMENTS the OWNER called me and we completed a phone transaction for the product that I wanted to be shipped to me as I am already home several states away! This is all on EASTER SUNDAY!!! EXCELLENT customer service does not even to BEGIN to even REMOTELY scratch the surface of description!!! In a world of small business being forced out of the marketplace, Sanity is an absolutely refreshing glimpse into the hope for us all that big corporate box business has not crushed our souls into the absolute vortex of greed and corruption that is driven by nothing more than profit. I will and have been telling absolutely any one that will hold still and listen how AWESOME the products and the PEOPLE at Sanity are! YES real ACTUAL PEOPLE!!! Not just another corporate machine, but real honest to goodness living breathing PEOPLE!!! I will continue to do business with Sanity for absolutely anything that they have to offer! And SO SHOULD YOU!!! Thank you Sanity, for not only the amazing products, and superb customer service, but for also a small moment that yielded a glimmer of hope for humanity itself! PLEASE, keep doing exactly what you are doing, you have absolutely gotten it 100% right! In closing, if you are in the market for ANYTHING they offer, look no further, you will not find it at a place better than Sanity! AMAZING!...
Read moreJust stopped in to buy a new chain. I let the dude know what I was looking for and he pointed me at it EXACTLY. Bought the chain I wanted with no hesitation. Will definitely be going back for rings, chains, bracelets, and knives. Chill ass dude working there.
Just stopped for a 2nd time and picked up a few rings. Wylde was working today and provided great help and awesome customer service!
Edit 3/3/2025: stopped in again for a couple more rings and still highly suggest doing business here. The dude is highly knowledgeable about their products and doesn't mind showing you around to discuss options. He also remembered me, based on my previous stop in so that's a huge plus. I can't wait to go back and pick up more!
Grabbed another new ring. As usual, more than happy with this storeand the dude working here.
Edit 5/14/25: grabbed a few more pieces on my way home from work. As always, absolutely amazing place to shop. Dude here knows me by name at this point so I definitely appreciate the attention to detail and the service he provides. Of course, as always, I'll be back.
Edit 7/29/2025: stopped in yesterday for a new chain and ended up getting a whole new set. I absolutely love stopping in to...
