Proud owner of the Gideon V1 and guys I have to tell you that if you haven’t checked out one of Tim’s knives you’re missing out! The craftsmanship is second to none. Huge thanks to Jason and Tim for making these available to us mortals.
I'm a retired Army infantryman. I've been practicing Pencak Silat since I got out and saw that he did a collaboration with Neeves knives for a new karambit. Just waiting on mine, I have two other of his knives and they are really high quality and just love the sheaths.
Check out TOPs C.U.T. 4.0, karambit style, with a nice hunk of needle nose drop point, coated in their patented DLC, no printing in scout carry or waist. Best knife I have ever owned. Does everything well, process deer, Bushcraft, fish filet, slicing veggies etc. etc. Nice kydex sheath, has TOPs ruggedness and quality. Designed by Josh Swannagen, karambit fight instructor
I have an FMF ordered. Cannot wait. I’ll be picking up the next batch of the Gideon. Love the name- just perfect Tim Kell and CW are wonderful people as well as a truly amazing and innovated craftsman. Outstanding!
these seem awesome but the price mark is rough on the family vet, I have purchased very high-quality of blades for under 100 bucks. I found a company based out of Cali, not going to give those details here of those knives not trying to deflect from this video and step all over his pitch. BTW I am not associated with this other company in anyway just a customer with a great review
Christ man 300 plus ?? For that G/3 absolutely beautiful knife but some of us vets with kids have to put groceries before something like this now that our country has turned into a tyrannical society
@BuffordEvans. Always has a tyrannical government.All the history of the U.S. and former and present honest government employees admittance of it is all the evidence served.
These are some nice knives. I own the TCQ, Nighthawk, and bought the Nightshade for my wife to wear. I wish I could justify buying more right now. Aside from the knives, Tim is an honorable business owner. With the first knife I purchased he contacted me and told me he wasn't happy with the quality of the blades he received for the blade I wanted. He offered me an immediate refund or the option to buy a different knife. I bought a different knife. The fact he risked losing a sale to maintain the integrity of his product and brand says a lot about him. I will always look to TKell first when I'm in the market for a knife.
Quick observation: I’ve followed your channel for some time now. From firearms, to knives to tactics your instruction and depth of knowledge is amazing. Your knowledge transfer is welcomed.
I prefer the Mercenary most. I like the longer blade. I EDC 2 folders. The Cold Steel Vaquero Grande 6" serrated in my right pocket and the Cold Steel Rajah ll 6" in my left. You can open them with one hand and despite their large size they are definitely concealable in jeans. And my multi tool on my belt in case I need to open a box or something trivial. I also keep a 12" Kukri in my pack in case things get really crazy. And my gun at my left ribs, 10mm S&W 2.0 with 4 mags. Stay safe. ❤
Fixed blade karambit pattern EDC blades are my thing; as such, I’ve had my eye on T.Kell for awhile now. But your collab on Gideon 3 tips the scales. Getting a preorder in today on the next drop. “The Lord told Gideon, “With these 300 men I will rescue you and give you victory over the Midianites. Send all the others home.”” Judges 7:7 NLT
I like the looks of the Gideon and the guardian a lot, and the bushman looks great too! I’m not much for neck knives, but that neck knife does look pretty sweet. Thanks for the video!
Again and again, Mr. Frogman Tactical delivers exceptional videos, a Hero, a Gentleman a VIRTUOSO in any survival subjects. Thanks a lot for delivering critical safety info. GOD bless you and your loved ones, satay safe.
I'm looking forward to seeing your collaboration with TKELL on your field knife! I love the Gideon 3 so, the field knife will be something to see for sure. Thanks for your videos! Great real world tips for us in our new America we're forced to deal with. God Bless! ❤
I really don’t understand why so many people frown upon tanto blade shapes for EDC. For actual functional and hard use by people who really use their knives for anything, the tanto is the most versatile it almost every capacity. Tip strength, ability to scrape and chisel, able to reasonably pry if you need to, flat grind functionality and hollow grind cutting ability, and so on. So for guys who actually carry a fixed blade in a tactical use situation where the knife is actually used as a tool and not babied, it’s just superior. Fireman, police, military etc would really benefit from a tanto. Increased ability to slip locks with less of a chance of snapping the tip, popping out window screens, puncturing stiff material, scraping material etc.
The Gideon 3 is a perfect for defense with the Persian stile blade. It would have incredible cutting power with a reverse grip , pushing a slicing through. With many possibilities of technique in placement of the pull back after the slice through. Fantastic design!
Ed Calderon turned me onto a whole diffrent dimension of "knife fighting" and/or "get off me" equipment... Look him up Btw I do like this video thank you for your time awesome knives!!
Recent subsciber and i love your knives. Ive been wanting to pick one up since i first seen one. The V3 is just wicked. Looking for an edc fixed for self defense. Carrying a firearm isnt really an option with the places i have to go throughout the day so ive gotta find something. Im a 42 year old new father and ive recently had an experience that made me rethink the world in which we unfortunately live. We live on a fixed budget due to a recent accident my wife unfortunately had but as soon as i can im gonna grab a V3 if i can. Keep up the work. Your designs have most definitely saved a few from the godless that have overrun our country. Prayers and God bless
Nice knife set there. Will admit my edc is a cheap cold steel Luzon. It's at least quick open with pocket clip, I have zero expectation of it not being damaged if put to hard use.
Wow. Beautiful set. Do the V2 half serrated with a Tanto blade and I'll buy one. The Guardian is an absolute work of pure art. Outstanding work gentlemen.
Really short knifes for me. Specially if fixed blades. For that side i prefer a Folder with a strong lock like triad lock or axis lock (SOG, Benchmade) . The first one its kind of a copy of the model 155 neck knife, from Black Jack Knifes, 154cm steel , convex edge,. Got one.
There are way cheaper fixed blade knives out there that are even way better then these over priced knives. All knives are good self defense tools in the right hand, no need to over price these things.
Personally I'm good on all firearms & knives at the moment. However if I'm ever in the market for a new high-quality knife I will definitely check out the company because they do look really good. Thanks for the video 👊🏻
I just read you are a brother in Christ and I immediately sub’d! Great content as well and I want to definitely check out the knife guy. God Bless, Rick
Love everything about the gideon and nightstalker knives EXCEPT the ring. I just can’t get around it. Any chance that TKELL will offer those blades without the ring?
That killer instinct was put there by the seals training and years of having to rely on. If you'd been when he's more than likely had too go you would be the same way. Diffently a force to be reckoned with. Now about the knifes. There was Diffently some I preferred over others. I too like a smaller blade for defense. There easily concealed and easy to wheel. Now I like a some what bigger blade for a camp knife. It can be used for many different things. All in all there were some great choices in that bunch. I think they would be worth a man's time to check them out. Peace 🙏
Personally, I am sadly disappointed. I am not disappointed in this video by any means, but when I went to the T.Kell site, 99.9% of their knives are "sold out." I guess they may be stopping production.

To make crystal from the get go, I know absolutely nothing about combat knives. Therefore, please excuse me if this question is ludicrous. In the video you did not comment on the knives' weight or balance. Do those have any bearing on performance?
I have the v1#5 and it's still my go to EDC, even compared to other high end knives I own. The only thing I'd do to make it fit better in my hand is shorten the grip by about half an inch to avoid a small gap between my ring and pinkie fingers. But its my top choice regardless.
Personally, if I'm buying that steel, I'd stick with Winkler. For an EDC, I prefer magnacut, which for me is an MKC. That said, for a lower price than a Winkler, the Bushman has the right size and grind for a great camp/all purpose knife that you can abuse. I'll have to email them to see if it has a 90 degree spine, otherwise it's just wrong to call it "The Bushman". Self defense blade doesn't factor into it for me, since I assume that if I'm in a bad situation where I don't have one of my pistols (which is very rarely), I'm probably fucked anyway...so my MKC or one of my folders would have to do. The Gideon is nice looking, but using it in any meaningful way in self defense is a fantasy for 99.9% of people.
Hmm. I am thinking long and hard on these blades. Your description of each one is helpful. Still, they are not exactly what I envision as a "ladies" blade. I am small and have small hands. I want a cutting and piercing blade for edc. Maybe I should contact them directly with a design. I don't know if it would even be cost effective as I don't know how many women carry blades anymore.
Are these knives for sale? I am a Nam vet from late 67 to all of 68. I was an M60 gunner and carried and modified bayonet tied to my leg. I love a good blade and always ready to look and buy new ones.
Jason just like you show there with guns on pegboards, what’s your thoughts on them? I see people on IG showing their holdup displays etc but doesn’t seem secure for a burglary not too mention fire etc

The Hawk, Combatant, and the Bushman are AWESOME looking blades, that will find their way into my collection....and into rotation.
Tkell knives are perfection. I will one day purchase one. Hard part is choosing which one since there are so many perfect options!
A little rust is called petina. 😊 plus if you gotta cut a bad guy you might as well throw in a little tettnis.
Super sweet! Been carrying a SOCP forever! Went on 2 deployments with me and still carry it daily! Love knives I’ll check them out!
I like the SOCP. It was my first carry.
Quick observation: I’ve followed your channel for some time now. From firearms, to knives to tactics your instruction and depth of knowledge is amazing. Your knowledge transfer is welcomed.
One of the best knife videos I’ve seen in a while. I would love to hear you and Kyle Lamb talk knives. Enjoy you v3. Carry it daily.
That tanto is gorgeous.
I own a number of TKELL knives, and your observations and design thoughts are certainly spot on! Kudos to you and Tim! 💯🗡️👊
I have 2 TKell knives….simply put, his knives are modern masterpieces.
Awesome blades! Kudos to the maker.

I swear you can see the killer instinct in his eyes when he looks at those knives.
And yet very calm. Very ready. Always. Expecting it to happen. Just a matter of when.
I like that.
Thank you to those like them that keep us mortals safe, always ready and willing to protect the lives around them probably above their own.

so cringe

Tanto is the best for defense and armor piercing . The boker dvilian is the best option
Guess you might say that I am a fan of Tim’s..Over 20 in my collection now. Thanks for the share! 🤠🇺🇸🇨🇱⚔️
The Gideon 3 is a perfect for defense with the Persian stile blade. It would have incredible cutting power with a reverse grip , pushing a slicing through. With many possibilities of technique in placement of the pull back after the slice through.

That's what makes the double edged kerambit imo the best.

Wow. Beautiful set. Do the V2 half serrated with a Tanto blade and I'll buy one. The Guardian is an absolute work of pure art. Outstanding work gentlemen.
I’m not a big tanto guy either, but that hawk looks awesome

Up to $699. I think i'll buy something that delivers more return on investment.
