You work tuff on your body Joe ! Fair play to you ! Schlaf Gut mein friend after all that sverre arbeight . The Ak47 by cold steel is made with great steel do you like it as much as the gerber strongarm i like the strongarm more cis it survived more .By the way there is not a bit of fat on you just wirey lean and very strong for your size muscle bone and skin and water and blood no fat. If you would go for 40 minutes to a gym 2 or 3 times a week and did strength training which is say 3 to 4 sets x 10-12 reps with at least 3 minutes rest in between so as to increase weight every set to make you build strength do that for one year then start doing 5 sets of 5 or 6 reps increasing weight each set only by a little so that you can keep good form not straining too much . Then you can get stronger bigger without injury cheers Trog
For me, one of the best knives you tested was esse 5. But.. you didn't abuse it, not even half of the abuse of the Ak47. If you test again all the knves you tested so far with the same way, 70% will not make it pass the car test, and 98% not pass the el brico. Everyone, the way a knife breaks, tells us everything for the heat treatment. Compare ak vs bk7 breaking point, and you will understand a lot. For me, this is the best blade so far. Excellent review, excellent knife. Congrats to cold steel for the amazing heat treatment. Thank you bro for the reviews.😊
The abuse was not the same, the abuse on Ak was way more and held better. Yes the esse 5 broke with less abuse. This is what I said. Which one is better, tougher, you think? Ak or esse5
JoeX, I think we must all admit: without going into the water, something is missing. Good job, just please do not fall too hard and break the river. There are limits to the violence water can handle.
Wow! I’m speechless Joe X is the best hands-down!!! The best knife reviews, no bullshit. If the knife even if it breaks is approved by Joe X you know you’re getting a good knife… thanks Joe X
JoeX. Excellent video as always! Man it’s gorgeous where you live! Marlboro!! Cutting down trees with knives. Then batoning the trunk. Always badass. Rock vs. knife. Rock wins.
AK-47 did better than I expected...Awesome Job Joe!. I always thought the AK -47 blade with the old CS 3V Warcraft Tanto handle would have been an awesome knife...
I never tried the current Cold Steel Warcraft knives. My original 3V Warcraft 5” & 7” versions have handles very similar to the Cold Steel Recon 1 folder.
Always love your videos Joe. I really appreciate what you do. Before I buy a knife, I check to see if you have a video on it. Helps me out. Have a great weekend.
VERY fun entertainment, and superb test again 👍 Good knife, no? Weird handle. But expensive as sheit. Re-watching the vid, smoking cigar is more for me; i'm way to slow for live chat reacting :-) Have a great weekend Joe⚔️ 👋 from 🇳🇱, TW.
Decent knife with a really uncomfortable handle . Copying the handle from the AK-47 Folder , was a mistake . Too expensive for what you get. I've seen two different blade grind geometries from "CS". Which blade grind is the real Cold Steel ? Excellent video as usual JOEX.
Great destruction test Joe. It's good to see this knife doing so well, better than some so called tough survival knifes you've tested in the past...mentioning no names 😁
I'm curious about the blade vs handle survival here. The SR1 in s35 and g10 saw the blade tend to go first. The SR1 lite in aus8 clone and griv-ex tended to see the handle go first. 3v might be another for handle failure first. Edit: Oh, this isn't the folding one. Well that throws it all out.
I re-watched your "BARK RIVER BRAVO VORTEX - CPM 3V" video and it looks like the AK47 outperformed the Bravo with a thinner blade and a finer grain structure After watching this I'm going to pickup the Cold Steel 3V Master Hunter Really enjoyed your diving from the tree and of course the blood puking 👍
3V master hunter is a good medium sized knife, but the new version is really thick behind the edge unfortunately. Gives it strength but limits it's slicing ability. Good utility/survival knife, but not the greatest hunting knife with the thickness. I've got several and none of them came very sharp unfortunately. The blade edge benefits a lot from a convex edge if you can put one on it. The 3V SRK I got is one of the sharpest factory edge's I've ever received however.
Alter du bist der König!!! Ich sehe so viel Liebe, Leidenschaft, Mühe, Können, Wissen und verdammt viel Wille in deinen Videos. Bis zum heutigen Tage war mir sicher dass nur meine Frau alles kaputt kriegt, NEIN, FALSCH, du kriegst auch alles kaputt. Sei mir bitte nicht böse, aber aus reiner Neugier frage ich dich jetzt ( und bitte sei Ehrlich ); außer Spaß und Vergnügen ( was ich immer wieder gerne bei dir sehe ), wieso möchtest du jedes, aber auch wirklich jedes Messer kaputt machen/kriegen? Der Zweck/das Ziel der Zerstörung interessiert mich? Unabhängig von deiner Antwort, danke ich dir von ganzem Herzen für deine brutale und geile Videos, bitte bleib weiterhin so cool, pass auf dich auf, und danke dir im Voraus für deine Antwort, aber auch um neue Videos!!!
you always make the best knife reviews, i started watching thinking i would never spend more than 150 on a knife and now i am considering buying that, damn you but also thank you lol my wallet is not a fan but i am
I never hear you saying fantastic so many times in one vid. So, you approved it!!! 👍👍👍 Do you think it is tougher than Strongarm? And bro, you are amazing!!!👏💪👏💪👏
Joe, I think the best blade you have ever tested is 4Max is Aus10A, was the only one that survived full round of abuse, is this correct? Keep up the amazing work!
This video shows very nicely that modern CPM steels are not much better in practice (if at all) than conventional steels, which are wrongly referred to as middle class. The material is partially over-alloyed and therefore tends to break out very quickly. This was also shown nicely. It confirms my opinion that conventional steels are absolutely top-notch and do not need to hide behind powder metallurgical steels.
The edge holding ability of 3V + it's toughness is really what makes it worthwhile. CS gives it a great heat treat that slightly favors toughness. It's not going to be as tough as a simple steel like 5160, but it will be better with all other attributes. Definitely more corrosion resistant, it's partially stainless.
JoeX, you should consider testing the KABAR D2 Extreme. It's still a "shit tang" like the other Kabars you tested, but D2 steel and fully hardened, so there should be no bending going on. Would be very curious to see how it compares to the original.
@@joex The standard Kabars do not have heat treated tangs, which is why they bend. The D2 extreme does, which is why it might be an interesting comparison.
Tempting, but sadly doesn't come in black. Btw joe I bought a sog recondo fx, it's a slim sad stabby knife. I returned it and got the usa made sog pillar online for $100. It's honestly a nice knife, maybe worth a review. And could you try some spin or no spin throws with knives? Absolutely whip some steel against a tree, barn, or something 😂. No spin thorn style is my favorite.
Is this a new version of the knife produced in Taiwan? I don't see exactly what the logo is. The screws securing the linings are clear, not black, which would indicate a new model. The new models have different cuts, in my opinion worse than the Italian version, the tip is more delicate. However, the most important thing is the correct heat treatment of steel. In the case of this knife, you can see that they put in the work and did it well. The knife has endured a lot.
@@joexvery cool. It’s beautiful. Awesome review, by the way. Joe X knife reviews are the best reviews 👍🏻🤙🏼. Oh….. It’s National Knife Day in America 🇺🇸. Happy Knife Day, Joe
The word of the day kinda rhymes with Marlboro but really rhymes with Gory Bowl. And it monetized baby! I watch the ads all the way through, but I’m not telling anyone what to do. 😅
JoeX snorts silica for breakfast 😂
i need to google silicia!
@@joexlol. Google Blue Waffle while you are at it brother 😂👍👍🇺🇸
Did it pass the spine whack test, atleast give me something. I kinda have blue balls now 🤣
GSM changed this blade! The changed the blade design and switched it from Italy (aka Lionsteel) to now Taiwan! Another GSM example of cheaping out
I’m calling around to see who still might have the South African version of the Black Bear Bowie
The reason why no one copies Joe X, it's because no one else is that tough.
amen my brother!

That Cold Steel SR1 lite folder withstood alot of abuse! For a folder it was unbelievable!

thanks a lot! but we have a lot of Karens here, good that the river is deep in winter times, if u know what i mean!
Just bought this knife based on this awesome test. That knife took a ridiculous amount of abuse. Only 125 bucks. Thanks JoeX!
it is a nice one!
Do they have something similar in 3V that is less Russian? With more normie handle maybe?

Holy moly... Close to a whopping half an hour of abuse before it finally broke in half... Now I know what I'm getting next. Good vid, Joe

The first version of this knife wer manufactured in Italy.

Watched with Muela Mirage and Muela bw-24, with ZT0620, 2 Victorinox and no Cold Steel, I think, I caught overdose with my Ti Lite 6.😮
u need a medic bro!
It did better than most "fighting knives".
u could say that!
Back with the renegade master!
Marlboro!!!!!
It did good! I'm not a fan of the handle though. I have the folder version. Tough knife. Im pretty sure thiis is a pre GSM design.
i think so too pre GSM! i heard that the newer ones look a bit different!
"the tree is moving my friends" 😁
awesome! 😁
thanks a lot!
You need to test the Casstrom no 14 Joe. Made of A8mod one of the toughest steels you can get and rare to be used in a production knife.
for sure!
JOE X approved - I'm getting one!😎👌
cool!
I re-watched your "BARK RIVER BRAVO VORTEX - CPM 3V" video and it looks like the AK47 outperformed the Bravo with a thinner blade and a finer grain structure
After watching this I'm going to pickup the Cold Steel 3V Master Hunter
Really enjoyed your diving from the tree and of course the blood puking
👍
thanks Rick! as far as i remember, that the Bark River was chipping a lot!, this CS did cool! Master Hunter, i did a vid with another steel i think!
3V master hunter is a good medium sized knife, but the new version is really thick behind the edge unfortunately. Gives it strength but limits it's slicing ability.

Hi Joe ! Yes ! Viele dank für diese test .

Great to see Taiwan still does good heat treatment.
yes!
TWO THUMBS UP JOEX!!!! You be careful my man!!
thanks a lot!
Dumb question maybe, does this knife best out the Gerber Strongarm?

Great test👍

I never hear you saying fantastic so many times in one vid. So, you approved it!!! 👍👍👍
Do you think it is tougher than Strongarm?
And bro, you are amazing!!!👏💪👏💪👏

Keep up the amazing work!
one of the best folders! yes!
We need Cold Steel Recon Scout in 3V steel mate.
sure we do!
Amazing performance. And the knife did well, too!
thanks, yes if the handle would be different it would be fantastico!
i knew id find you here 🤣
The tree jumps look like they hurt. But you're tough like the AK-47 knife. I like it.
me too!
Excellent video!
thanks!
Can't believe the SR1 lite in 9cr18mov held up better then this AK in 3V notwithstanding the sr1 is probably a thicker blade.
yeah probably! and this one is larger!
I had the SR1 Lite.
It's a brick.
But everyone has a different idea of a good pocket knife I guess.
Thick edge and thick tip.
But it does cut 😁.
Thanks for nice test, awesome job! 🤗💪🏻👍
Is AK47 better, than SRK 3V or Recon Scout 3V? 🤔
Many thanks and greetings from Czech Republic! 🍻
they are all good knives!
handles are better with the SRKS

Hi，is this one made in Italy or Taiwan? Awesome video man!
i think Taiwan
That handle looks sharp 😂😂😂
sure thing!
Can you test out the QSP Canary knife 🙏🙏🙏🙏
nope!
Cold world.
Cold Steel did good job on heat treatment CPM3V.
true!
Hello JoeX, where can I buy this knife? It’s made in Italy or Taiwan?
Taiwain i think!
How deep is the water you land in when jumping off the tree?
i can feel the impact on the ground!
Seeing your video, I decided to by the product thanks for your awesome experiment😂
nice!
Cold Steel are amazing knives. Test please Bark River Bravo 1
i think i did that!
After this video you kinda make me buy a cold steel in 3v ... I think recon scout .
CS is doing great on 3V
@@joex yeah , and i didnt expect that. Thank you again my brother.
I have the 3V SRK, it's very strong and came wicked sharp, on of the sharpest factory edge's I've ever received. CS 3V is G2G
the only thing that's is important to know which hardness they tempered it. for the rest is a hell of a knife.
ok !
Good work sir.
thanks!
They were gonna ask Chuck Norris to review this blade, then they remembered that joex spread it on his toast for breakfast.
yeah!
JoeX, you should consider testing the KABAR D2 Extreme. It's still a "shit tang" like the other Kabars you tested, but D2 steel and fully hardened, so there should be no bending going on. Would be very curious to see how it compares to the original.
this Kabars are too bendable, no thank u!
@@joex The standard Kabars do not have heat treated tangs, which is why they bend. The D2 extreme does, which is why it might be an interesting comparison.
Cool video
thanks!
Tempting, but sadly doesn't come in black.
Btw joe I bought a sog recondo fx, it's a slim sad stabby knife.
I returned it and got the usa made sog pillar online for $100.
It's honestly a nice knife, maybe worth a review.
And could you try some spin or no spin throws with knives? Absolutely whip some steel against a tree, barn, or something 😂. No spin thorn style is my favorite.
i am very busy!
I have that one in DLC. It’s incredible.
cool!
Last time I see a lot of Cold Steel everywhere. Maybe because of bad rumours about them....
maybe! i like to do CS!
Yes, I think they have kept some things good and other things bad. Machetes no good. 4Max Scout I just bought, very good.
you are amazing amigo great videos Joe !!!!!!
thanks!
Best knive ever
not sure about that!
I modified the handle and it perfect now, from my point of view it’s indestructible
I tried to find a decent sacro illiac joke for you but to no avail. I even asked them to check in the back.
ok thanks!
So what did we learn it is better to use a rod in combat then an AK47?
sure thing!
Cool small knife.👍
indeed!
Be cool is CS would do a AD10 fixed blade in 3V. I knew 3V was tuff but God damn that shit took a beating.
yeah true!
