      PREPAREDMIND101 just ordered mine... as always love your reviews, Chris. You get that baby kydexed yet? Would love to see it if and when you do

    • @preparedmind101

      I passed that off to Doug at Yellow Hawk because he wanted to do some stuff with it.

      PREPAREDMIND101 your killing me smalls I been putting some cash together this week just a little shy getting paid tomorrow at 4 and there all going to be gone. Only if you would have waited 24 more hours.

    • @weilki451
      @weilki451 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      PREPAREDMIND101 I ended just putting it on credit because there was like 5 or 6 left. After your video I figured they would be gone.
      Are you going to check out the smaller version as well ??

      the honey badger is lighter weight it's 3v lol

    @ksone369 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Thanks for the reviews Chris...they’re always entertaining and informative. I have various bushcraft style knives (Mora Black, Larry Roberts Genesis) and just wanted something a bit different. Got my Legion in the mail today and HOLY $#1T, this thing is a beast!!! By the way, not all of us stick to a budget!

  • @knifesharpeningnorway
    @knifesharpeningnorway 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The knife looks badass the sheath to. Looks very well thought out

  • @jameswyrm8
    @jameswyrm8 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Perfect size knife for a all purpose tool.

  • @will3002
    @will3002 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    It looks like a knife that just wants to work! You could buy this as an all-purpose camp knife or every day carry, hell sharpen the back end an you have a fighter as well. Change the scales to a nice hard wood with some natural oil and shape the scales to suite your hand and you have a near perfect knife! This is a knife I would definitely love to own!

  • @fishinjoe8844
    @fishinjoe8844 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Got it about a month ago and absolutely love it...... I thought it might be too big for small work but it works great. Love the weight in the blade

  • @HappyHounds
    @HappyHounds 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I got one, Chris, based on this. Thanks - Jeffrey Gardner

  • @blueheeler66
    @blueheeler66 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Just watch the Tier 1 Mini video. Nice. When you suggested that there may be some 3V versions in the future, that just made this thing Jessica. If another designer would have some more 3V versions of his knife, I'd be buying a couple more of those also. That JX2 is awesome btw.

  • @AnthonyJones-zo7dy
    @AnthonyJones-zo7dy 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The blade geometry is very similar and I would say is a shorter version of the Cold Steel Trailmaster. The 1/4" thick at the spine , distal taper and a convex grind... both as you say blast thru wood. BTW yes I have one of the CS in San Mai and I just received one of the last 'Legions' Knives Ship Free were selling (apparently they have sold out, so I got lucky)... actually it is an amazing knife. Agree, not sure I like the flat area of the choil either... but the knife in general kicks butt. FOBOS design built by Bark River is a great combination... Yes, your review triggered my 'impulse buy' ... (so I hate you 🤣 in a good way).
    All the (continued) VERY BEST!

  • @cecilweum1926
    @cecilweum1926 6 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @williamchee2935
    @williamchee2935 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    DLT is great. I missed the window and they were sold out. I used their email me when available... late Friday night I got the email and picked one up immediately. I promised myself no more knives for a while and you are to blame. But glad I did lol.

  • @GRDray

    I'm getting one!! Thanks Chris.

  • @IamNemoN01
    @IamNemoN01 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    By the way, according to Mike Stewart the extra length added to the choil is for striking a firesteel.
    And don’t forget you can remove the handle to use as a spear, for easy cleaning, and for whatever other survival purposes.
    And the sheath is MOLE comparable. And it can go over (on both sides of) a belt loop so it doesn’t slide around.
    This thing is definitely on my want list. But I just got in on the final run of the Grizzly, and I have an Aurora LT Cru-Wear on order - so next year I’ll get a Legion.

  • @sinepari9160
    @sinepari9160 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Erik designed the best outdoor knife ever made

  • @anthonycampos7417
    @anthonycampos7417 ปีที่แล้ว

    That thing is a knife with the capabilities of a small hatchet. Very impressive.
    Also need to know the HRC and it needs to be accurate. 154cm is a good steel but most makers have stayed away from putting it into a giant chopper for a reason.
    Not as confident in it's durability plus if it were to fail that would be kinda expensive. But seeing as how thick the blade spine is I think they have it under control

    @patriknydensten1363 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Interesting. Seems somewhat comparable to the Fällkniven A1 Pro. Thick spine, convex grind, stainless, metal pommel, slightly front heavy, crazy baton/chop/cut. The A1 Pro drops the old school sheath and the gimping and adds rubber handle and metal guard.

    Chris have you seen the new Fiskers dimond sharpener at home depot.Its close in size to the carbide one with red handle that you use for a striker but has a orange handlle.it will strike a ferro rod but could be improved plus is a diamond sharpener.Love your chanel.

    A survival knife is the knife you have on you at the time of surviving for your life to me and that would be the everyday carry.

  • @walteasy4sheasy
    @walteasy4sheasy 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I agree, though, but not just aesthetically-speaking. Functionally, the choil should not be cut into the grind. An eighth- to a quarter-of-an-inch relief would've done it... would've sold me. Love me my Bark Rivers, tho. Hope they produce some bigger "edged tools" in CPM-154. In the woods, on prolonged trips, I like to run a multitool, and a Bravo 1.25(5 in. blade) in S35VN. I like the low maintenance of stainless. Along with a folding saw, I'd really like a large chopping knife than a proper axe (too much weight) or even a hatchet (not enough chopping power, but equally heavy). I hope Bark River puts out a Kukri that would give my Zombie Tools Vakra a run for its money. The Vakra gives me clearing(like a machete), chopping, batoning, and drawknifing capabilities. The single edge is really nice for the drawknifing, while easy on the baton. >>> BRKT: Get the shape right. They say it can't be done in stainless, but I know you can. Also, please hit a home run with the sheath. The sheaths to all machetes and Kuk's suck!!!

      AZ-Chris I've only held the Bravo Survivor once (there's a new version coming that I think is bigger) but I recall it being pretty beefy. Moreso than this one.

    • @az-chris1136
      @az-chris1136 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah, the Bravo Survivor is 3 ounces heavier, looks to have a slightly taller blade and is about an inch longer. The handles are different and the Legion may offer more gripping options, but the Bravo handle is what it is . . . a proven winner. The Bravo Survivor is a chopping and batoning beast.

I already got one for my medium sized survival knife comparison (it will be the largest and most elaborate on youtube). 20 contenders of which 3 are brkt...maybe i should include this one? What is the length of dev-x, i'm pretty sure it will blow most knives out of the water(my upper length parameter was 34 cm or 13,38 inches)

    • @D9everything
      @D9everything 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      For about five seconds, as you turn the knife the sun follows the edge and it looks really cool. You even pause and there's a sparkle on the very tip. Looks intentional but I know you couldn't see the light effect from the camera angle perspective when you were videoing. Not trolling, honest - it was just a minor observation. Actually it's really more like at 21:49. Either way, nevermind - I can barely even see it now when I try. ;)
