Very impressive testing. You give everything for your videos.
Lilly!!!!
thanks my dear Lilly, i think i was born to do this!! haha
danke sehr!
wow the comment of the tribute from yourub goddes🤩 thats cool
The queen has spoken!
There's been some pretty extreme destruction testing of knives on TH-cam over the years, but my man here has raised the bar to its highest level! Few people would be even physically capable of destroying a knife with these methods lol. Good on him. The man every knife maker fears
thanks a lot my friend, AMEN - to the knive heaven!
A Joe X model knife would be absolutely terrifying.
While it did not crumble like my Kubey Sicario I tested yesterday I would have expected more from the BK2. I know that such testing does not tell us everything about the quality of a knife but to me the sheer structural strenght is important. You are one of the very few people who does extreme testing, thank you for your sacrifice!
thanks a lot, i need to watch your video, been busy with knife abusing, sending your Paket today!! it was worth the wait, i got 3 nice one!!! (and a surprise)
@@joex Right on time for bush class! Nice! Looking forward to it, thank you!
I used to watch this guy named Nos44 (or something like that) who also did this extreme testing. The word was he god injured in the neck by flying metal and stopped. I sometimes feel JOE X should also wear more or better protection.
Holy crap he actually broke a BK2. I would have thought that was one of the few knives that might not be breakable by hand. Joe, I am always impressed by your tests and videos, but this was particularly impressive.
thanks a lot!
They’re not that good 😅
I've looked at all sorts of knives for survival and I always come back to kabar bk knives. I don't think I'd pack anything else for shtf.
sorry to hear that!
@@joex sorry for what lol they're great knives. Or do you recommend something else?
@@solidus1995 check my vids!
If anyone beats and tortures any kind of knife like this eventually they all will break. Some breaks faster and some last little longer. If you take 10 Ka-Bar BK2 for example and do the same test 10 times maybe 6 will last longer and the other no so much. Because the way it was made and heat treated. If people use any of these knives that Joex test and use it normal and take care of their knives the way the should they will all last a very long time. Remember he Extreme tortures these knives. Everyday normal use from people will never torture a knife like he does here and there fore last them years and years of use. Keep up the good videos Joex
ok, thanks for the info, cheers!!!!
Watch his top20 knives they do way better than this knife
Nice. Good to see this knife put to the test! Might be the first time I've seen you hit edge on edge, sent my mind screaming! Thanks for going above and beyond the limits!
thanks, i am glad some understand the edge-edge thing!
Bro, be careful when stepping on a knife too high above the ground (5:30). Do it very close to the ground because in case of a break, at worst, you get a cut in your calf. If it breaks from a high place, you may cut your inner thigh and get to the arteries. We only have you to test all of this expensive knives ^_^.
haha, thanks!! very nice comment for sure!!!
Just imagine you are walking around in the countryside and suddenly you find this guy dressed for the doomsday with a gas mask hitting a pole like a crazy gorilla with a knife. Majestic.
i got my faire share!
Is it weird that this makes me both relaxed and happy, but also anxious and appalled?
thats cool bro!
I wonder how much all those deep cuts into the blade from hitting the knife edges together reduced its durability in the brick test.
good point, we need to make a study about this!!
@ D L.
I wondered the same. He doesn't follow the same testing methods for each knife review. Which is why I don't base what knife I buy solely from his reviews. I just purchased 2 bk7's, a Bk2, and a Tops B.O.B in 154cm
@johnnyeas1431 yeah that's what I thought and beckers are not over rated Esee cost alot more as well
Impressionante seu teste!!! Sou do Brasil, moro na cidade de Torrres no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Eu tenho uma BK2 é um verdadeiro trator, mas eu não sabia que ela era tão boa assim!!
Aqui no Brasil nunca vamos ver um teste destes, porque aqui o valor de uma faca destas e equivalente a dois salários minimos de um trabalhador.
Muito obrigado por postar este teste, ganhou meu Like e a minha inscrição no canal.
Rio grande! fantastico amigo!!!!
Who the hell would do this to a knife in the first place. Smacking and punching it on metal and rocks with the intention of breaking it. Of course it’s going to break. Real outdoorsmen respect their tools.
see my other comment!
u need to watch my other BK2 video!!!
I love my strong arm..
But this one ok too.
Good video!
thanks!
4 max scout:I'm stronger,even I'm folding knife
yeah, maybe!
@@joex Cold steel the best
Ok after this and watching a ton of your videos, I think this is the perfect bushcraft and survival knife for me. I will still respect the knife and treat it as a friend that will help me sustain life but my god this knife took a beating. I always loved K-bar knives. 😊 thank you again my friend.
u are welcome!
what do you do with all the broken knives
i welded some together and made a retest, not posted yet!!!! the others i keep! (MEIN SCHATZ!!!!!)
Wouldn’t expect a 1095 blade that thick to break at the tip the way it did. Maybe something went wrong with the heat treat. I’ve abused a bk7 harder than any other knife I own without any damage.
no nothing wrong with that, i think i proofed that the other beckers!
Even though the BK2 tip came off because it hit another knifes tip, Esee 5 still seems stronger
yes, agree!
I think I speak for many here in saying that we'd LOVE to see how well a San Mai III SRK, San Mai III Recon Tanto, and laminated Fallkniven A1 would hold up in your tests. My prediction is that a very small part of the tip would break off the SRK and Fallkniven A1 and the blade might chip in some areas, but the overall blades would be indestructible. The Cold Steel San Mai III Recon Tanto would be most interesting due to the really thick tip. Thanks!
i did the SRK in VG10 witch is San Mai, i also did the RECON in VG10, pictures are on my community page, i made soooo many videos, about 50 the last week.....need time to edit!!!!
@@joex Thanks Joe! When you say Recon in VG-10, do you mean in San Mai III, which uses VG-10?
Thanks for the videos Joe. Looks like the super tough standouts at this point are the Cold Steel 4Max Scout in AUS10, Estwing Hatchet, Fiskars Hatchet, Ontario Raider Bowie, Cold Steel Special Forces Shovel, Cold Steel SR-1 & SR-1 Lite, Gerber StrongArm, any of the Cold Steel Machetes, Survival Lily Knife in AUS8, any Cold Steel in AUS-8 or AUS-10, the Glock Knife, Terävä Jääkäripuukko Knives (any), and the Cold Steel GI Tanto.
cool!!! you know my videos!!! next is the Mora Garberg, then i will do the CS SRK in VG 10!!! because i think you like to see it!!!
Did you put these knives you mentioned in order of toughness? I'm looking for a nice KaBar style but don't have the time to research (I'm deep into Archery). Thanks for any reply.
@@aldoraine9259 Probably the best, toughest KaBar like knife for the money is an Ontario SP-1 Combat Knife. Under $40, made in the USA by the company who makes the Marine KaBar for the US Govt, and tough as nails.
@@JohnB-dr8sk Thanks much John B, I appreciate your response
@@aldoraine9259 You're very welcome and good luck
Hi! Do you also do tests with the Ka-bar bk2 magnacut? Your videos are really good. Keep it up!🤘🏻
Marlboro!!!!
I can't remember if I commented on this video. got my Bk-2 in a private sale for 30 Aussie Dollars (15 Euro?). The previous owner had beaten it with a hammer, and from the look of the edge, found Deer antler to chop up. I restored it, then used a hammer on it myself to baton, just for fun. They are solid chunks of steel. Mine has the canvas type MOLLE sheath.
thats a good deal i would say!!!
7:05 So while I can understand wanting to test steel with edge on edge impacts between different knives, it's actually not particularly useful.
The behavior of steel cutting other steel is very predictable and generally you're only going to determine is which knife is thicker, which you can see easily enough with some calipers.
i know i was too sientific in this one!! cheers my friend!
I love this video because it shows what not to do with your knife
so it is a children education video, need to be shown in schools all over the world!
i read your shit comment on the Kabar, are u a moron? please tell me!!!
@@joex Marry Christmas
@@peskybobcat
Your dedication to this is something else. Continue until there's no knife left to test!
i will try, thanks!
Man you almost just had me thinking about testing out some of my knives on my own SUV, I'm actually getting used to the insanity of your rigorous testing 😁
i think thats a good thing! haha!!! but use your neighbours car!
Don't mind the complainers yelling that you buy knockoff knives. They just don't like seeing that the knife they've trusted so far may not be as long lasting as they thought it'd be. Also looking forward to seeing the Extrema Ratio tested, wanna see if price and brand recognition do make for a good knife.
AMEN my friend, Extrema Ratio died, video will take some time!!!
@@joex Oh no, I wanna see how badly it died lol!
@@PivotCyroy it will come!!! unless i die tomorrow during crazy tests!
The Becker eats the Buck. Killed me 😆
yeah!!!
JOE: "i'm gonna break this knife on this car"
BK2: "i'm gonna give this guy a work-out to improve his cardio "
thanks Becker!
Great testing but I am disappointed with the results after having bought this knife thinking it was indestructible.
yeah, many thought that, but it is still an "ok" blade!!!
The vibrations from whacking that metal pipe causes micro fractures that will eventually break ANY blade...
This knife is indestructible when will you this kind of abuse
nothing is indestructible
I would be very interested in a Fallkniven test! Thx for the tests!
i will see!
@@joex thx! They say they have the strongest serial manufactured stainless steel knives in the world. This calls your name!
Hello. I know what you did to that knife was pretty extreme, but I would have expected it to withstand more strain. Thanks for the test.
u are welcome! Beckers are overrated!
For 100 bucks
it's a great knife
Great video of the BK2s toughness. Why the gas mask?
i am ugly
@@joex
You are not alone my friend..me ugly too.
Hahaha.
But thats good!
We not woman..we man!!
It is an original Becker BK-2 from KABAR. They recently switched to German steel instead of US steel. That why the USA Markings have been removed from the production line from now on.
Thanks 4 the info!
@ A G. I just received 2 Bk7's and they both say (OLEAN NY USA) on them
Wonderful channel, you show the limits of every single product of the market 👍
Not gas masks
@@DL-ij7tf There is no "gas unbound" Warzone place unfortunantely 😅
thanks a lot, i love my gas mask, i am not smelling my "farts"!!!!
How does Joe not have a million subscribers yet ???
good question! maybe to much fu*k, sh*t, p****y
@@joex I love me some fu*k, sh*t,p****y
The final judgement is not o.k.! I just watched the Esee 5 test, and this knife was not tested edge against edge, nor stone test was carried out!
u got that !
and life is not fair!
My man bled for the review, great tests I must say. And, you deserved that love bite at the end. The bk2 marked you for life. 😅
i did her hard!
Amazing testing, I can´t believe the limits of this knife, video 10/10.
thanks a lot J!!
A knife just performed a destructive test on Joey X. Chiped the exterior but no loss of form or function of the wepon.
it is a becker after all!°
It took quite a beating. Im glad i bought one. Thanks for testing.
cool!
Beckers don't like El Bricko.
And vice versa :-)
Excellent testing as usual Joe⚔️ 👍
thanks!
I have the Becker bk....the larger one I carry it in my car for a emergency tool 😂
not a bad idea for sure!
This broke my heart. The BK2 has always been touted as a sharpened crowbar. I was going to consider getting the knife again. Now it's a pass. Other than the 4Max Scout. What passed your tests?
Peace
2 knives actually, yesterday, Hultafors cheap knife and Mora Robust!!
@@joex
Mora Robust.
That's interesting.
The Hultafors are also tough knives, except the GK doesn't have much of a tip. The Mora's always have a sharp tip.
Another one? You don't need a knife, you need an axe
@@Grandmasterkiller destroyed my axes!
@@joex
I hope you keep the destruction with knives and cars.
Not going to start with planets are you?
😁
Me gusto el vídeo, hace poco compré un Kabar BK2 espero a que me lo entreguen, creo que aguanta mucho como esperaba, al finan nada de estas cosas son algo que uno haría con su cuchillo aún así que creo que aguanto bien, lo único que no me gusto fue lo rápido que se fue su punta, quiero pensar que fue un detalle del lote de ese cuchillo
gracias!
Bit of T-Cut will get them blemishes out on the car LOL Great video mate
thanks, it had the T-Virus, it needed to go!!
BK2: Carbon V (Better steel than 1095) also heat treated harder. Has a better handle
Esee 5: 1095 heat treated lower (softer steel) Better handle material but not a better handle design, better sheath.
Nobody is going to do what you did, to use his knife, no matter if he's in the Army or not.So both are the same. However, in the same time, both are prybars and not properly designed knives, for any kind of use. So, what you get, will be mostly a collectors piece. These knives, is mostly marketing... not designed for proper use. Way too thick and heavy, with very poor blade geometries. Ka-Bar Mark 1 Kraton, with a proper reprofiling, as all new knives need, is what I would suggest from Ka-Bar knives. BK 16 is also a good choice.
ok!
I use my ESEE 5s all the time. I do quite well with them thanks. Is it a perfect knife? No because that doesn’t exist. I carry and use the ESEE 5 just fine.
I had the BK2 and found it bad at slicing wood.
Went back to Mora again. Sliced wood like it is butter.
Also more nimble in the hand. Easier to maneuver.
@@Ve-suvius because the bk2 is a survival knife thats not designed for a single knife task unlike a mora that is designed specifically for bushcraft and has a scandi grind.
Heat treated harder therefore more brittle which explains why the tip broke off from being stabbed into a log on the bk2.
Hubiese esperado más de este cuchillo por ser tan afamado...me ha sorprendido la debilidad de la punta....habría que ver si el lote tiene problemas de templado
si ok si! gracias!
@@joex a ver cuando haces un test a alguna marca española..J&V ,Joker,Cudeman .....
All around the brick I recognize a lot of PLANTAGO Mayor, this plant is very good to stop bleeding after a cut.
Be careful please.
Test interesting as always.
Since I usually use my knives for cut things, but I what to be able to resist wearwolves attacks, what I'm looking for is a knife with a good balance between cutting ability and strength, I'm going with something different.
Thanks!.
ok, i now this plant too! cool you noticed it!
This knife is a beast i have never broke mine
cool, i broke mine!
@@joex hahaha
So the tip on the Esse5 is tougher...yes? Thanks 👍
yes i think so!
I would take the Esee 4 because it's really nice with micarta but I would also take the BK 2 over the Esee 5 for end of world survive
ESEE 4 did good at my test!
No me gusta este cuchillo, pero pensaba que su punta aguantaría más, decepción.
Estás teniendo una buena colección de cicatrices. Buen vídeo. Gran canal.
Un saludo.
gracias lobo, the wolf!
What do you recomand? Bk2 or strongarm?
strongarm
Thanks man!
I really like your videos, I'm from Brazil, and I only have one bush knife, it's the mora pro robust, I wanted it before, I heard about your channel for that reason, and that's what made me sure.
It cuts like those American knives in the video, wonderful for thick carvings, feather sticks, general uses, I still prefer the Victorinox Sentinel for cooking (even comparing it to kitchen knives, perhaps just a butcher's knife would be as good).
I'm very happy with it, I found it strange that the hem was so fat, I even thought about making another one, but it's good for ostentatious use, and for wearing inverted (just the clip out, and the knife inside the pants), and it's to use, it is black, the silver clip is horrible as it draws attention
thanks and welcome to the dark side of JOEX!
Ok now do the same edge test with a bk2 aaaand a esee5. I feel like these two are the “best”. Be interesting to see how they both compare to one edge to edge
sure!
Ahhh you broke it. Nooooo. The Becker nooooo. Great Knife.
it kind of is!°
When I get into making knives I’m sending one of my designs in, but I’ll have to modify it to make the results look more impressive XD
ok cool, can't wait!!!
I'm not letting you anywhere near my knives 😜 Good review though.
thanks, just give me one!!
Is that a block of granite?
i think so!
I’m impressed.
cool!
Can you test the Becker Harpoon BK18?
later maybe
Okay- bro- I’m convince- I’m buying a Becker2!! - I’ll put it next to my Gerber LMF- thank you!! New subscriber!! Your awesome - Love your colorful landscape and language!!
thanks a lot, trying my best!
Becker's are good at stabbing cars. They are really good at that.
Better than many other knives.
did awesome at the car 4 sure!
@@joex
Yeah,
people just have to know the limits of their knives.
Don't hit hard wood with a Becker ... (BK9 and the stone come to mind).
They have been broken chopping that and major breakouts in the edge also.
Excellent work joe, I had high hopes that it would perform as well as the 4max. Can’t wait to see what you do next!
killed 9 more today! it is so freaking hot outside!"
That’s exactly how I felt poking holes in a mason jar lid for fireflies as a kid
I know this is an older video. But it looks like the Gerber Strongarm is better than the Becker bk2
it is a fact!
Tops should look into what makes this knife.
tops should send me some blades! but they are chickens!
@@joex they fear the rock and probs want that pole gone hahaha
Amigo. Como eu consigo comprar uma bk2 sua,. Eu sou do Brasil e aqui e difícil de achar
gracias, mucho gusto!
i wouldnt buy this knife!
@@joex qual vc me recomenda a comprar ?
this guy does not fuck around with sticks and ropes he goes stright for cars nails and metal poles so you know that the knife you just bought is good enough for that pizza box cardboard
exatcly!!!
A brutal beating for sure! Good review! Proud to own one!!!
thanks!
Everyone compares the bk2 review to the esee 5 review. But there are major differences in how you reviewed each knife.
1. The esee 5 never penetrated the car. The bk2 tore holes in the car.
2. You never fractured the esse 5's cutting edge with a different knife. You caused major fractures in the bk2 by beating another knife into the bk2's cutting edge.
yeah i kind of know, this is why i made the ESEE 6 video!!!!!!!!!
Ich bin eigentlich geschockt. Hätte mir mehr von Becker gewünscht. Danke für die Aufklärung 👍👍👍👍👍
Kein Problem 😊
nice UF pro pants
thanks!
It'd be cool to see how well the sp53 would hold up to the block or iron post
ok!
Steel , sweat and blood ... Thats a good test !! Good job my brother
thanks!
Я не хрена не понимаю что Ты говоришь. Но посмотрев видео понял одно :нож хорший.
ok cool!
I wanted to buy this model ... and after your test ... I would think twice ... thank you ! I didn't know your channel , I subscribed !
cool, get ready for the show!
The title literally says "until it breaks", you're not gonna be recreating the video.
I have a BK2, this test only proved that the knife is a tank.
cool!
Can you test the Steel Will Chieftain?
1095 steel.
They say it is made by Tops Knives
i tested the Steel Eagle!!! Video is coming soon!!!!
These videos scare me more than horror films. It's like the stuff of nightmares!
awesome!
this knife doubles as a stair case...what a great feature
thanks a lot!
My Joe X got Cut...😭
(The Bk2 Revenge...😎..)
Super Video, Thanks Joe..😘
u are welcome!
Nice vídeo.
Can you teste the Extrema ratio selvans?
thanks, not at the moment!
Good video. Be careful
thanks, i will not, Hahah! cheers my friend!
That has to be a fluke, probably an uneven heat treatment. It happens. I’ve seen bk2’s take a lot worse. I have a first gen kabar (not camillus) made before they put on the squared pommel and skeletonized the handle. It is an indestructible tank. I’ve had idiot friends hammer on it metal to metal (until I scolded them) and that knife has been through hell. Don’t discount it based off a single case study. Maybe they’ve changed but I would still bet on them.
nah, no fluke, all Beckers i tested are kind of shit, so the BK7
@@joex
I’ll take your word for it. You’ve beat on a lot more knives than I have. Keep it up!
Watch "Survival Instinct". "Becker bk2 beyond abuse." He pounded it a thousand times with a hammer before the bk2 broke.

Would you do a test with a Blackjack model 14(or 13) HALO? There is little to nothing on youtube about them yet they are manufactured through Bark River which are known for making beasts of burden.
Also have you done one with the Kabar D2 utility version? I have one and cant find any videos of abuse tests for this supposedly more durable version of the Kabar.
i will try my best!
Also, you should try 5160 steel from Buck, like Buck GCK blade, if you can find it.
i will see what i can do!
