Why are these knives free?

These knives are free because certain companies want to promote their brand so that people will recognize them in the future. However, even though they are advertised as free, the shipping costs may be a little higher than Amazon or eBay, etc. Despite the slightly higher shipping costs, you will get great value than buying it off of Amazon or eBay. They do state there is limited quantity and don’t take more than 1 or 2 entries / submission. Sometimes they enroll you in a free trial/subscription, so make sure to cancel in time if you don’t it.

How long is shipping for these survival knives

The top recommendations I have usually get shipped within a few days to your address since they ship from within the U.S, but some unknown brands might take 1 month due to shipping from non U.S, international countries.

Are there hidden subscription fees?

Always make sure to double-check the websites of these 3-rd party companies and brands when checking out. There might be an automatic trial for a magazine subscription service. Insight Hiking is just a review / blog website for travel and outdoor enthusiasts. We do not sell anything or handle any shipping / orders.

Refund and guarantees

Some of these brands offer refund guarantee in case you don’t like your product, but it varies company to company. When confirming your order from any 3-rd party websites, please check whether there are clear customer support contact information such as email and phone number, and refund guarantees.
