this video has made me want to look for an old pair of hockey skates to turn into cool survival tools
Bill23799 Brand it right - get some clever TH-cam advertising going and who knows; your American-Skate Knife might just take off. Keep the costs down by asking the Chinese to churn it out for you - and hey, presto! Instance win ;-)
And..if you order now. You will also receive Volleyball head friend, Wilson. Just pay additional postage and handling.
Bill23799 Think we might be on to something there ..... ... ;-)
+Bill23799 you could call it....the Wilson....or....THE WILLLLLLLLLLSONNNNN!!!
haha
Thanks, but I already have a pizza cutter.
Nice!
it can help you waste apples
It's way better than a pizza cutter in my opinion
tartredarrow lol😂
tartredarrow you are kind of funny
man thats just looks like a crazy set of brass knuckles to me
that's why I like it
Thanks for the encouragement! Have a great day! ~David
Y'know, I think I would buy this. It's kind of like a skeletonized ulu. I'm all for going back to more "primitive" designs, and one based off of a stone tool is about as cool as you can get. This looks great for multifuncional uses, including perhaps self defense. Tell me that doesn't look like the most badass knuckleduster ever. Get a pair and box with 'em!
Glad you enjoyed the review. Thanks for the encouragement. Should keep me going all week. :)
Having lived in Alaska it reminds me of an Inuit ulu. They still use them to this day.
It does look like an ulu
I thought thee same, especially when he cut that pizza. I have a kitchen ulu for my pizza.
Or a mezzaluna.
Good question. I did not have any issues with the tool slipping or turning during use. The Paracord wrap is a very good grip and the weave makes a nice flat area on top. The only instability was when I was batoning with it. Hope this helps. -David
This reminds me of the ice skates Tom Hanks used in CastAway.
No no thank you David! You provide excellent info on products that are priced for the everyday person, you don't draw your videos out, and you are always positive. Then add on you have giveaways for some awesome products! Makes your channel one of my favorites.
This is a modern version of an old stone tool that served as a multi tool. Just like a Gerber or Leatherman multi tool each tool is actually by itself mediocre but as a package it is desirable. Flint knappers tried to reproduce this tool and as it turns out it was much more difficult and took much skill than creating arrowheads and spear tips. I love it, like my Gerber multi tool, even though I have better knives, pliers, and scissors individually, it is the multi use aspect that is it'e selling point.
This looks to be an amazing CQB/martial arts tool. A combination brass knuckle/hatchet should allow the defender to pretty quickly dispatch the adversary in an up close and personal, non-friendly, encounter.
ATTENTION This will be extremely illegal in Canada because it fits the definition of brass knuckles
And in germany to!
well when you look it that way it really can be used as brass knuckles ( the scariest brass knuckles)
Doesn't matter its a pointless tool anyway haha
Generally speaking, in Canada, anything that is primarily a deadly weapon and has by design, no other practical use is prohibited or restricted. But I think you could argue this since the manufacturers literally designed it as a knife/survival tool
Oh please. You other countries have such pussy laws.
Thanks bro. Yes.... I think Fremont Knives could go a lot of different directions with it. Have a great one! ~David
This is my first video from you guys. Really nice production for this video. And I love the innovative design of the blade. You earned yourself a subscriber. Keep up the good work!
An excellent review of a tool that I don't think much of. Thank you for taking the time to show it to us.
A knife would be better ... though this would make an insane brass knuckle type weapon. FYI ... a lot of stainless is not good for survival, especially 420 and 440a. Sure, good quality steel can rust, but a little iron oxide wont kill you.
He isn't saying it's the only tool you need. But it is an excellent one to have in your complete kit.
It's understandable that you might get positive feedback from hunters using this for skinning. It is a lot like the Ulu knife used to skin by the Inuit people....
And it's handy for a tonne of stuff...but it is extremely limited too..certainly not an everyday carry knife...:-(
Cool. Yes... there is a compass and a whole survival kit inside the paracord. I'll review it soon.
seems to be a interesting tool but I think its easy to break your fingers also if you doesnt care. In an emergeny situation I wouldnt like to injure my hand or fingers. I would prefer a knive, machete or hatchet.
Glad you enjoyed.
Lost my respect and interest when he mentioned Bear Grylls.
Why? Bear Grylls has accomplished many things and is a survival expert.
Greg Kling , I'm not joking at all. I don't know why, just because he made a show teaching you how to survive different situations makes him a joke. He never says he is actually surviving there, he just puts himself into dangerous positions to show how to get out of them. And actually, a lot of the products with his name on it are very good.
Greg Kling , I have a couple of his Knives from Gerber, and their not the best, but they do what their supposed to do. I mean, I wouldn't depending my life on one, I just use them when I'm practicing my skills outside. And, I know the show is fake, he says it himself in interviews. He trys to teach you what you could do in specific situation. For example, in one episode he has one of his camera men dress up as a bear and pretend he's going to attack him. He does that to show what you can do to get out/avoid the situation. But I do agree, sometimes he can be a little over dramatic, but that's just to make the show more enjoyable.
+Greg Kling I like survivor man he seams more realistic
his new products are actually better
For all those idiots saying "just get a knife": the point of this was not to be your primary knife, it was meant to be a versatile chopping tool. I'd rather use this to baton through wood or make a hatchet or de-bark a branch with this then a regular knife. Its not a knife replacement, but a knife supplement.
1 time... at band camp...some loser at the bar tried to hit me with brass knuckles... I wiped out this bad boy and punched his face off in 1 solid uppercut and it was sooooo funny!
lmaooo that was too funny
it's one of those new tools that just make you think "why diddn't I think of that?" elegantly simple yet virsitile, the hallmark of a good bush tool.
Wow talk about the ultimate survival junk...
You better carry a lot of bandages and heavy gloves, I guarantee you you'll need them.
I have one and love it. Mine had two snaps on the sheath and one of them tore through the cloth the second time I opened it. I had to go out and buy a snap kit with an anvil to fix it. I bought it through Amazon and could have just sent it back but didn't feel it was worth it to just fix one snap.
The velcro is definitely better.
Now I see why the original people who used this tool died out. I like this form of history lesson.
i have had one of these for about a month now...love it...IT ALSO MAKES A GREAT BRASS KNUCKLE !!!!!
Only good thing on this "new old solution" is marketing ... Knive is much better - no discusion!
Thanks bro. Yeah... I like different stuff too... and it's best if it's like this tool... different with good purpose. A bit out of the box thinking is good for us all! ~David
This must be on the Top 5 List of useless items LOL Well maybe as a pizza cutter it will do:)
Regards, Lars
Survival Russia Hi your channel is great!
That Farson Blade is awesome, great for the pack that doesn't have much room and you are willing to construct the handle for use as a hatchet.
Why not buy a tomahawk and remove the handle . One can make a tomahawk handle very easy .
wouldn't this be classified as a knuckle duster?
not really but yes sort of like a ax and knuckle duster combined
Thanks for your videos, they are really useful for beginner preppers. I am currently building a bugout pack for camping and your videos are very helpful. The best survival channel I've found.
Made in China. 440 Stainless Steel is weak. Lashing holes are poorly placed making for an unstable ax head. WAY too expensive for a dollar's worth of metal and a nickel's worth of paracord.
Wow! Thanks bro for the encouragement... that should get me at least through the week. Have a great day! ~David
How do u sharpen it??
you buy a new one.
Sam Lauer lol!!
Same as any other knife, ever...
Good eyes! the Propel is one of my favorites in my current EDC knife rotation. :)
do you inhale the smoke that cannabis releases when burned, not saying its a bad thing but you sound like a lot of people who make cannabis growing videos
I had no idea there was a certain sound people make when doing a cannabis growing video. Weed needs to be at our disposal. It's a fuckin PLANT!! Are the authorities saying that God made a mistake when putting this very beneficial plant on Earth for our consumption? The Drug War needs to end immediately. I'm sure we could figure out what to do without the Cartels influence.
Just got the carbon steel farson blade with the leather sheath and I must admit I kinda like it . I like how they added a Ferro rod scraper on the bottom.
It's like a Ulu.
Very good question. I don't have an answer for you. I didn't even consider it in relation to brass knuckles... only as a survival tool. Thanks.
Can anyone recomend me survival multitool?
***** it sounds like a scam. Can you verify to me that it is not a scam?
Phil Herforth Just a knife. A good knife with exceptional edge retention, and well tempered. Maybe with a machete-like recurve for chopping. As for the handle, you want to make sure that blisters are nearly impossible. Blisters mean sores and sores mean infection. Something with a simple palm swell, no finger ridges. As for overall design, absolutely do NOT go with a folding blade. no moving parts. Above all, you want something that is sturdy and usable even after a lot of abuse when your fingers are barely strong enough to grip it anymore.
You want simple and sturdy. If it looks more complicated than this, www.customknives.com/jonesbrothers/jk-23.jpg then it probably has useless features that just diminish it's handling and reliability.
Phil Herforth It depends on what you are going to use it for.
If you're just going to carry it for daily urban use, then most likely any multi tool will do. (from a simple swiss knife to some military issue multi-plier tool). It really depends on what you see yourself to be doing. Screwing screws? Opening bottles? Nail clipping?
If you are going out to a non-urban area with a group of people, a good knife would be enough. Learn more skills using the internet and basically, a knife is the tool which helps you gather more resources to make more tools for you.
Like what Michael mentions, a good machete like item would be my choice as well. Something that fits in your hands fine, still retains grip when used with gloves, full tang, no movable parts. But make sure you have a sheath, and if you are going to belt it, put it somewhere reasonable.
Schrade survival knife
Project CST Yep, definitely! Schrade is an awesome knife; not just saying either my boys have one in their bag and I use the BK-9 with companion BK-2.
Dude! Great job on giving a short, but sweet review, so much info in a little bite. I can tell you put effort into making it to be that way! Nicely done!
better of buying a pizza cutter insted
Well put, elegantly simple...
this looks more like a kitchen tool for chopping up garlic.
This knife reminds me of those stone knives from stone ages, palm-held gatherers knives. Cool knife. Of course it would suffer in combat situation again it is survival/camping knife.
Also good for punching wolves with. In an emergency, of course.
Another great review. I love that this isn't "just another knife" of the same basic design, and it's very cool that it is modeled after a primitive tool. Nicely done, Fremont Knives. I want one!
>stainless
>nothanks.jpg
Just got into throwing a few weeks ago. Love it, but know nothing. I assume from your comment that stainless is not good for a knife, which goes against what would have been my guess. If that is so, then why? Is stainless too hard and brittle? And am guessing if you do not like stainless that you probably have a recommendation as to what material is best, if so, would you please let me know what that would be? I want to make an array of throwing items now, as the cheap stuff I got to get going was okay, now I want more and better, but do not care to dig that deep. Not saying my knives would be that great, but saw a sharpened two pound throwing spike for like 35 bucks. I know that I can sharpen a two pound metal rod on both ends in minutes with a grinder, and I have metal everywhere. Thanks for your comment as it got me to thinking.
stainless is soft. stainless is good for everything except fine, thin edges. there's plenty of information on the internet as im no expert. but I do know, however, stainless knives 90% of the time, suck.
Jesse Leonard Low versions of stainless steel (400-435) are generally soft but are not made for tools and unless you get a ripoff knife you will almost never find any of these steels in stainless knives. Stainless knives generally have some grade of 440 stainless steel which comes in 3 grades. 440A is about as hard as most 1095 steel (it depends on the heat treatment used) 440B is slightly harder than 440A and 440C is much harder than 1095 steels. As long as the blade is under 8 inches and thicker than 1/8 of an inch it should be fine being stainless. if the blade is too thin stainless tends to snap.
For the guys hating on this knife, don't be to quick to judge, I reckon in a real survival situation this knife would be a life saver. It has to be good if are ancestors used a stone version of it. Thanks for the review David cant wait for this knife to get to the UK :)
I study stone tools (as an amateur) and they didn't use a stone version of this, its a real stretch to say this is even based on one.
its hilarious .. the shittest thing ive seen .. and dont be quick to judge?? whats the point of a review video if its not to jusde the tool by .... if the manufacturers cant make it look easy to baton a small log then ill be dammned if any of us are going to be batonning the afternoon away without either getting it permanently stuck in a large log or getting injured and arriving at the conclusion that the reason knives were never designed like this is because the design is a bunch of bollocks $70 to hahahaha ontario SP50 for $55? hmm a tough decision ...lol
I read the idiotic disclaimer at the beginning and got no further. No thanks.
just checked and on ebay the cheapest one was over 40 dollars!!! I think I'll keep a knife secured on my belt and a hatchet with a handle and sheath in my pack.. this doesn't really seem like the "leave your actual tools home and this will suffice" tool.. You guys can keep it!
бутафория
I bet that thing is awesome for cold weather.
4.5 out of 5 stars??? really Dave??? I don't think so man. Time to man up and start giving honest reviews bro. Just because companies send you stuff for free shouldn't mean you have to lie to the public and give favorable reviews on poorly designed tools.
This knife looked haggard trying to baton through that log. Also, I'm not sure what you were trying to carve here, but that was definitely NOT a feather stick! Not to mention the makeshift hatchet was just laughable. Come on!
It seems like the only thing this ridiculous tool is good for is skinning game or cutting pizza.
This tool looks more like a 2 out of 5 stars. Can you say Gimmick?
actually looks useful. I'm glad to see someone being original.
It's basically an inuit Ulu knife....
I'll take two please!
Absolutely, and I have to say, the Inuits knew their stuff. Of course, the ulu was a very specialized skinning, scraping, chopping and "woman's" knife. The Inuit lady of the house's "all purpose kitchen knife".
MrRugercat45 I own a stainless steel Ulu. It was a gift from my Brother when he was stationed in Alaska. Love it as a kitchen implement.
Fascinating. This is unique enough I would want to try one first - however as someone who likes to save weight backpacking this certainly seems like it would chop veggies and perform some light hatchet tasks while being short and light. Eight feet also seems like a nice length of paracord storage. And if I don't like it the price is cheap enough I can just use it at home in the kitchen or camper as a pizza slicer.
I had never paid that tool much attention before your review. I'm going to check this one out for myself.
Great review
Thanks
sometimes the old things are the best. Nice and good review. Thanks.
the simplest ideas are sometimes the bests, good tool
wow this knife is so simple but so awesome this is really the only knife you need. as always you do a great job at showing us this really cool stuff you are straight too the point an also the demonstration with the product is great you don't just talk about it you put it too the test an for that I thank you. keep the good work.
This thing is just entirely too cool! I can see the utility in it, be pretty good as an all purpose tool around the camp site.
I believe you are right... in the one shot I forgot to turn the lock ring. Thanks! I'll be more careful next time! ~David
What would make this better is if it came with an attachable/detachable handle that is engineered for the blade, but if you wanted to use the blade alone you could easily remove it. But other than that it's a pretty innovative blade.
The company did a simple video on how to rewrap the paracord. It's actually a very simple knot.
Really interesting video, its amazing how in this modern world we seem to be looking towards tech that our ancestors used millennia ago (as well as the stone tool inspiration for the design, the Ulu knife used by aboriginal Inuit??). I'm sure it would perform adequately in the field, but am not convinced about the lack of a 'point' , maybe for a later model, my preference though, thanks for posting!
This reminds me of primitive tools I have seen in museums and documentaries. The basic design goes back to the neolithic age and has lasted in various forms to this day. This tool would not be for everyone, but it would be quite ignorant not to recognize its significance and usefulness. Thanks for the review!
Indeed. I put a link in the video description. It's the best paracord belt I have found.
I put a link in the video description. This is an AWESOME paracord belt. Best I have found.!
I have a knife of similar design that was made in Japan. I will be buying one or more of these.
Funny!!! I agree. You need the BK-2 bro! She'll be glad she got it for you... Let me know how it works out! ~David
Very good point. I will probably use my WorkSharp knife and tool sharpener.
It' actually quite a clever design for a utility knife. That sort of perpendicular grip is not uncommon for traditional knives in some regions. This shape is very good for chopping up food, which is the *main* purpose of any knife, survival situation included, and you can still use it for wood carving, as shown. And you can, indeed, use it to make a makeshift axe in case you lose you main one. Quite a useful thing to have lying in your backpack, honestly.
Knives are a bit better all around, but I really like the idea and functionality of this tool. Love the origin of the concept as well, a modern piece of history! Awesome
This knife is very nice. Not only can you use it for skinning animals, chopping, etc, it's very easy to sharpen since it doesn't have any serrated edges.
Man yeah, make this bad boy in carbon steel and maybe a little bigger and it'd be really great! Maybe add some serrations somewhere. The ECO Hawk has the same idea - very useful and VERY compact. Cool!
NEW! Bushcraft / Survival / Hunting Paracord Tool - Farson Blade love it looks wiked
They upgraded the sheath, now the inner part is covered with plastic and is alot better than the previous version, since April 1 they are shipping the Farson Blade with the new sheath.
Thanks Shon. Ahhh... not sure you want the pizza recipe, unless you our your girl are gluten free. If you are, then it's a winner! Thanks bro! ~David
I love it!!! This tool is unique, looks fun to use, and well built. Farson Blade Tool Is like being human. We all must be different to make the world go around... so just image having the same knife/tool as everyone. And liking the same color, foods, hobbies, etc.. Just not fun. Another well produced video by David
Maybe I'm wrong, but when you stuck the Opinel into the tree stump at the end, it looked like it wasn't locked - could fold on your hand or fingers doing that. Apart from that, great video. Not sure I need the new tool, but it looks very nice.
That little piece of leather on your pants is an awesome design.
nice spot.i should make some on all of my pants before i run out of pockets
Dang it! I missed another opportunity for a great idea. I think this tool will be very popular. I'm getting one!
if you wrap the paracord along the whole length of the handle and then soak it in water you will have one hell of a good tool! this is a survival hatchet!
Looks like this is the start of my survival bag! Thank you so much for reviewing this amazing tool Dave!
So simple and yet it goes straight to the point. Great video Dave! Think I'll pick one up!
Interesting and kudos for the new invention. Obviously the inventer was thinking outside the box. That being said, I would definitely add a removal handle. If the stick was split or better yet a one sided groove the hatchet performance would be greatly improved.
Not sure you could call it a 'new invention' since the ulu has been around since roughly 2500 BCE. Just saying.
You gotta admit, it does look pretty menacing, not that that's a bad thing. Take a SOG seal team elite for example, it's kinda the opposite, it's meant for fighting but has been pretty big in the survival knife world. It's not really a bad thing for this blade to function well for survival and hunting, and have it be an exceptional self defense weapon.
Cool tool, but I think I prefer the Hoods Woods ATAX made by Tops and designed by Ron Hood. The Atax has a similar cutting edge, but has many more tools and functions built into it.
Thanks for the review, and to the viewers who like this cutting tool, I encourage you to check out the ATAX by TOPS.
Yes... you are right.
Basically a modern hand-axe. Cool.
That is such a cool tool!! There's so much you can do with it. Love it. Thanks for the review David.
Wow David you hit it out of the park with this one! Great looking knife/tool! I could see upgrading that with a kydex sheath. Almost looks like an Ulu without the handle. Very nicely done man, as usual.
Thank you for the great video. I was getting ready to purchase one of these until I found it was made in China. I would be wiling to pay more for a tool made in USA.
This would be great to keep in the glove box of the car, or thrown in my camping gear, but not sure I would ever use something like this as a primary blade. I did like the Pizza getting cut, I bet it would be great for that!
