THANK YOU for making the Dinosaur Hunter connection. Missed opportunity by lesser reviewers.
and thank YOU for being the first to get that! :)
@@5MinuteKnives brings me back to my N64 days.
You didn’t mention major pros or cons with the handle. It has always looked uncomfortable me in the top of the back end. No issues for you?
@@WhispyWoods. I literally just saw this bud! 🤣 I would say the only con I had with this handle was the lack of a guard of some kind. Because it's kinda "tactical" that needs to be considered. Other than that, the hardware was a lil scratchy but the handle ergos were actually pretty good. I wonder why youtube hid this from me. 🤷🏽♂️
@@5MinuteKnives I applaud you circling back around to answer my question. Now that is service! Glad to hear the handle is better than it looks to me. Thank you!!
@@WhispyWoods. haha no problemo bud. Sorry to leave you hanging man. :)
Just received this knife. I was on the fence with the look of the handle. I wasn't sure how it would sit in my hand. But once I picked it up I was in love! It's a great knife.
Right? I was surprised too. I'm making fancy kydex sheaths for this knife now btw. Hit me up at dragonscalejoe@gmail.com and I'll send you some pics of our designs. I didn't mind the sheath it came with but it locked a bit stiff and our designs are so much better. Appreciate you tuning in!
I bought this knife in 2017 for self defense from animals and also to cut wood in a pinch. I wanted 1 good strong knife as I don’t have a lot of money. This is perfect, it is strong, the handle itself can know out someone, the blade is very sturdy and the sheath is strong. Everything feels quality and makes me feel safe having it on my hip.
I totally agree. This knife was a pleasant surprise for sure. Appreciate your input and thanks for tuning in!
I concur. Purchased, evaluated, feels great; total buy ! 😄👍🤘
I had bought this a few years back going back and forth on a knife for my kit and ended up settling on this one soley for the name. Dinosaurs beware. Love the title and review!
Right? I remember the old game and comic character (I know, I'm old) but this turned out to be a pretty solid knife. Thanks for tuning in and I'll do another sheath giveaway soon. 👍
I love the inspiration for this knife. I grew up playing Turok Dinosaur Hunter and I instantly had to buy it haha. Plus Ka-bar knives are amazing!
Same! "I am TUROK!"
The handles are Ultramid nylon.
Whatever that is. haha. They're okay and have a lil texture but the screws sit a little proud and can dig into your hand a bit. I don't notice it much anymore but something to note. Thanks for the info!
Muy buen cuchillo. Tiene un nuevo suscriptor. Saludos desde Uruguay
This knife is sure checking a good number of boxes. It's portable enough, it's confortable enough, it does the necessary work and is from a reliable brand.
I think you're gonna like this one. I made a custom sheath for mine and now it's a permanent part of the collection. Thanks for tuning in!
I bought synthetic dye , and turned my handles black.
Ordered the knife. Getting it today! It has a great look and from all the reviews (your included), a great feel! I really like its stealthy & compact look. Thinking about sharpening that swedge. That drop point style reminds me of my Szabo express, which is a pretty sweet double edged knife. Food for thought. Great video here too...
I wouldn't sharpen the swedge (you'll see why) but I LOVE this knife. Hit me up for a custom sheath maybe?
@@5MinuteKnives NO Swedge sharpening and I "do" see why! This is a heavy duty knife! Tactical and survival. Not a light blade! Pretty impressive! Definitely gonna work on that sheath release! It's a damn workout getting that knife to deploy!!!
Oh and btw, "definitely" need to get in touch for sheaths for my Kizlyars!!!
@@jorgefernandez6407 👍
@@jorgefernandez6407 That's where I come in. The sheath it comes with isn't terrible. Just the retention is too much. Plus mine are purtier. lol
Carroll custom knife scales. Elwood Nebraska. Does tan micarta replacement scales for these.. On ebay
Thank you!!
@@5MinuteKnivesy'all are welcome! Frustrated Aussie owner of the turok and the Camp Turok. Excellent steel, sexy knives, crap cheap arse scales!
I found Lucas Carroll on eBay and commissioned his first Ka Bar Turok scales.
Now he has several more in stock, tan micarta only. But he can make more, and probably other colours; altho that's up to him obvs .. 👍🇦🇺
I have a few KaBars and I agree the grips suck. But there is an inexpensive solution instead of spending a lot of money on new scales and that is ranger bands. I put 2 or 3 ranger bands on the scales and it greatly adds to the grip. Especially over those annoying screws. I have them on all my KaBar and Jurosz knives. You can buy a bag full of various sizes on Amazon. I also heard you say you live in Colorado. I too live here just south of Chatfield Reservoir.
Great, inexpensive solution for sure. Also tennis tape works well. Cheers to Colorado and stay safe out there!
I just put re-grip on my handle. I have XL hand size and the re-grip worked perfectly for me. I got the medium size re-grip for it. Best knife for the money period.
I put 11 on mine with 1/2 overlap starting at blade and it is now my favorite grip! Warm and the stickiest.
It needs better scales. G10 scales would be perfect!
Agreed! Not sure what that would do for the weight though. This guy is a heavy chunker! It's an odd knife but I can't help but like it. Thanks for tuning in.
Very cool knife.thanks for the review.
What is the width of the blade in centimeters?
That's a good question! Not sure but I can say it's enough stock to be beefy without being as wide as my esee 6 (if that helps)...
How does this knife work for a left handed? Can the sheath be belt mounted on the port side?
Yes and yes. 👍
What kind of clip is that on your sheath?
Just a standard large tek lok. I started making sheaths for this knife right after this vid...
you want too sale it
Yup. All my gear has to match. LoL.
You're not alone. I'm stuck on like 3 colors. I know it's dumb, but it makes me happy.
