"Survivin" 😂😂
Interesting thing is this knife which cost 450$ comes from country where minimum wage is less than 500€ (ex. taxes). So basicly it is real SURVIVAL knife. You spend your whole wage to buy a knife and try to survive the whole month with it.
You know what’s hilarious? That Pete had to go up to his wife and say “hey, would you mind recording me chopping at a tree in our backyard while I’m in my bathrobe and then ask me what I’m doing?”
It was candid. He acquired that footage from her phone.
That's the most normal thing he said to her in weeks I'd guess.
crypt : an underground room or vault beneath a church, used as a chapel or burial place, ergo, The Knife Crypt. Bricky has been assimilated. He is Borg.
It's good to see that Brickie has crawled its way thru rock veins to the new Knife Lab, even digivoluting to Rocky
The backdrop in the new Knife Lab/Kink Dungeon is really nice :)
Congrats on the new property
A video from Pete and AKB on the same day? And both are excellent and entertaining? That's a good day for sure!
I feel like the TRC is Symphonic Death Metal whereas the SRK is a bit more Post Grindcore.
This guy gets it
I just tried to like this comment for a 2nd time just to realize I have already liked it. Sill just a great comment.
Pete in his version of "Cast Away". - Surviving
Only when he wears that robe. LOL
With all those palm branches you could totally get your bushcraft on and build your very own survival Tiki Bar gazebo
The AKB tshirt was a great touch
I just got the F1 sized TRC K-1S last week and it’s *chef’s kiss*. Definitely has sold me on the brand and an Apocalypse in the apo finish is on my list of “to get”s.
I bought the "this is freedom" first, now two weeks later waiting for my k1-s :D
_Hey, Pete, what are you doing?_
_Survivin'_
LOL, that cracked me up because it hit a bit too close to home.
My experience with elmax has been excellent, I really like that steel for a variety of tasks. Really enjoyed the new Knife Lab and of course the surprise appearance of -Bricky- Rocky.
I know you were going for Gandalf, but brickies arrival feels more like the return of the king
I have the kabar jarosz choppa is the same but bigger ! Best buy ever made!
I like all the new filming possibilities and "exotic" locations at the new place. A basement lab, AND a sprawling metal shed. Plus a backyard "wilderness" area, complete w chickens, and of course those majestic beige water tanks.. You've got quite the expanded domain there Pete. Cheers~
Not trying to sound posh BUT my Cold Steel SRK is CPM 3V AND was made in Italy!
Also I bought a Martindale Australian Army machete for under $40aud. It nails palm fronds!
I'd take the srk and a junglas 10" for all that cash tbh.
Thumbs up simply for the intro “what you doing” “survivin”.
"SURVIVIN' "
barely Pete, barely
Trimming trees how you did in the beginning is how they end up stressed. The short little branches that grow out far below the crown are water sprouts. They are expressed when stressed, and are a warning the tree might not last if conditions dont change. Does it really matter? Eh, your trees will probably be fine. Am I a tool who studies trees? Well, yeah... But you might really enjoy the utility of something like a silky pocketboy for tasks like that
Elmax, have a love hate relationship with elmax steel. You know, love to hate it, but hate to love it. I make knifes as a hobby, and did a few in elmax, its a pretty brittle steel, definitely not for chopping knifes. The only stainless steel I would make as a survival knife/chopping knife that works is AEB-L or Nitro-V. Tried to chop through a mailbox some weeks ago with a chopper I made with one made in Nitro-v, took a chip, but nothing massive compared to what I did with it. And it works great, in fact AEB-L and those type of stainless steels, are better and tougher then a lot of carbon steels out there. But elmax, last knife I made had to temper it for almost 12 hours, and its a lot less chippy and brittle now. That TRC is thick sauce, and at a knife that size would work as a survival knife, if it was any longer and bigger, then Elmax is a no go for chopping. Its impact resistance is for shit.
Its all about the heat treatment
I would rather use high carbon steel knife for that kind of use. Having chips in a blade that expensive would be kinda heartbreaking. But I respect your willingness to use the knife to the fullest, regardless of the price.
@PaleBlueDot People seem to like Condor Hudson Bay. I would recommend Roselli Large Leuku. Their regular high carbon steel (not UHC) is great, very tough and holds a nice edge. Roselli would be my first choice, even though it is more expensive than Condor. However, it is not in the price range of LT Wright Gen 3 or Bark River Canadian Camp II (I own both of those).
So happy for the new dose of chaotic good that is Pete.
Rocky turning on Pete for accommodating his request though... it's like trying to reason with a brick wa...OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHH.
“Hey Pete? What you doing?”
“Survivin’”
😂
Just because it's a robe don't mean it's not tactical.
looked like 2'' belt loops to me, and quickdry synthetic fibers that will retain warmth when wet in a survival situation. Not to mention stealthy and silent while nabbing a midnight snack in hostile territory.
It's interesting that the Apocalypse pressed the right buttons when the AX-1 didn't. It would have been great to see you do a head-to-head between the knives.
Pete has the best reviews in this field,
Being the average knife appreciating man himself, but still experienced enough to give qualified demonstrations and information about all these knifes and steels, just what most of us out here search for and really need!
Pete your reviews were missed, glad to have you back! ...do we need to start a go-fund-me for a new table?
80vrv2 is very underrated , winkler makes one of the best heattreats , edge holding isnt the same obvious but is so easy to sharpen in the field its mind blowing
"Long hair cat of the plant kingdom" just as zucchini is the mosquito of the vegetable world. Brian at KME is a good guy!
Putting Brickie up there is quite clever. Great job Pete.
I went on a corona induced spending spree and bought the south pole biohazard finish, mille cuori and apocalypse biohazard finish. All amazing knives and im still happy with my purchase. Finish and materials on these knives makes them value for money in my book. Cheers from Melbourne.
I’m looking at the south pole apo finish too what are your thoughts on it ?
@@lloydjacobson1812 Hi mate. Great size bushcraft style blade. The ergonomics are great for an exposed tang. Sheath is rock solid . A great companion to a folder or a something like the Apocalypse depending on the work to be done. Refer to the review by pink G10 if you want more info. Cheers
How is it possible that your videos keep getting better? I was in stitches all the way through.
I have all three of the TRC apocalyptic series their well-built knifes
It's nice to see rocky again. I feel your pain on the palms. Nearly everyone on the gulf coast thinks palm trees when landscaping. There are other trees out there.
It is a Great vídeo!!!!! Very good!!! Please could you compare the TRC Apocalypse VS Bark River Fobos legion VS Fallkniven A1, It would be Very Nice!!! I am a big Fan from Brazil!
Audi and Mitsubishi philosophy example! With you on that one!
Thanks for the review and keep up the great work! They should go for 3V I guess...
Much love from Switzerland
I ran into the same problem with a $400 Fiddleback Forge knife. It looks so beautiful!!!
If you sit a couple inches higher you will have much better leverage and less shoulder hurt with those cuts. Do try and be wary of repetitive stress injuries
You can not deny Bricky.
It’s probably not the case over there, but here in California, people will pay a lot to take a mature palm tree off you. I know people that have gotten two unsolicited offers of around $10k for the tree in their front yard. Also heard of people stealing trees from public land or while people are on vacation
why in the world anyone would want a palm like this is beyond me!!
@@CedricAda I think a lot of commercial buildings (malls, hotels, resorts, etc.) were buying them up around here a few years back, and so the normal supply chain was running out. People want these old ones because they take a long time to grow, and I guess nobody wants to be seen with a short and skinny palm tree.
I don’t think normal home owners want them that badly. Also they are out of style here now, since everyone’s doing low water usage, native plant landscaping.
Way off track here but you could bury the fronds in Hugel culture fashion to enhance the soil. Awesome video! Hilarious and informative!
I really like this TRC compared size by side with bark river knives bravo Survivor or Crusader.. please make it!
I own the previous version of the knife. They have made some changes it seems. Mine does not have jimping (spine / handle) and is in M390.
how is it?
Hi Peter I just thought I'd let you know I've had a lt wright jx2 jessmuk cpm 3v, and I found very bad edge problems, just from doing small tasks such as carving feather sticks etc, I've got a knife in m390 and that is a lot better in my experience
Hey Pete, maybe it's the holiday spirits talking, but you seem like a fellow who I'm bummed out is in my life only digitally. Just signed up for your Patreon, thanks for the hilarious and useful content. Best of luck to the Family!
For around 1/2 the price you can get an
LT Wright illuminous 5 in 3-v. It's an indestructible beast I tell you. I just can't bring myself to spend that much although it is nice Pete.
A month ago i couldn’t imagine spending that amount on a knife. But i did...sometimes i’m dumb😂 but i’m sure i’ll love it!
@@gtrul3s387 you could buy 4 new car tires for your car for that much. No knife is worth that kind of money. My 220 dollar LT Wright illuminous 5 would chop that knife in 2.
450$ for car tires is cheap. I put way more on something that important. With that being said. CPM 3V is an AMAZING steel! But it rust and it’s not a careless steel. Elmax is a really good compromise between toughness, edge retention, ease to sharpen and rust resistance(which you don’t have with 3v). I can sell a good maintain knife if ever i’m in need. It doesn’t loses a lot of value, like guns. I know people who spend more than that on drugs and beer in one month so for me it’s not that bad of a decision. And i’d go with bark river instead. Don’t like the look at all of the LT
And? Great for you
Palm trees are for people who don't like raking up leaves.
I don’t know why I am getting Advance Knife Bro vibes at times. 😅
17:12 🤣omg
I'm gun shy about buying knives right now. The last two knives I bought arrived messed up. Maybe a fixed blade is what I need to get next. Can't mess that up.
Don’t jynx it mate, now it will arrive with an uneven grind and an 80 degree inclusive edge bevel
@@deathbyastonishment7930 lol that would be just my luck
Shannon - brand/s?
I was ok until the potatoes. Now I'm hungry! The SRK is also in 3V bringing it much closer.
I missed seeing Crusadax!
Seriously, one heck of a knife there. Being a folder guy, that's one fixie I would buy and use. Great steel and love the size.
I didn’t believe in the utility of the towel robe, until my wife bought me one. They are fucking fantastic, warm, comfy, and you don’t need to put on pants! Good choice mate
Ever encounter weird or scary Aussie spiders or snakes? Looking at you tugging on the palm tree and generaly tooling about in the yard I had this thought.
I have this knife in g10 and the elmax was a big factor to me since you don't want a knife that big with a stainless steel that's a pain in the ass to sharpen also loved the persona 5 music
I enjoyed the lil vid in the middle haha and you've confirmed for me that the SRK is the best size and price for a gift for a mate of mine cheers .unless you have a better option ... I could pay up to 200 but needs a finger guard he's new to knives .
Disappointing that the scales are not easily replaceable.
Better ergos in the FKMD, Lionsteel, and Viper lines at the £150-£175 range...
But, beauty is in the eye of the beholder...
Lionsteel knives are cheaply made and they cut corners every chance chance they get and especially with their infamous " Full Skeletonised Tang " as in the M4 and others and the M7 has one of the worst tangs and it's deliberately deceptively hidden!
I own the M4 in M390 with Black G10 and its got a Skeletonised tang and it make a lovely little chamber inside the knife for sweat, water, blood, whatever to get in and start corrosion, lucky that M390 is so rust resistant, but the tang choice is no good for the simplest reason, it's weak, and M390 isn't a particularly tough steel.
It's a great little knife for little tasks but Lionsteel shouldn't go to such efforts to conceal their knives tang constructions, and they do, they also blatantly lie about them.
I find Lionsteel a dubious, questionable company at best in all aspects of their knife manufacturing.
Glad you’re back, and “rocky”. Are you planning a review of the new worksharp sharpener?
Looks like it'll cut stuff. Good for you Pete, my fixed blades spend 98% of their life in a drawer.
Cold Steel makes the SRK in 2 other steels besides SK5 , and the fit & finish on both of those knives (San Mai and 3V steel) are 10x's better than the SK5 version. In the US the San Mai version is about $120 and the 3V is about $170 and Both are worth the extra money...👍👍
I like it, but I just can't get past the idea of a knife that size being made from ELMAX. It usually tends to hold an edge well, but be a bit chippy under hard use. I feel like something like CPM 3V would be a better choice for this style of knife.
The TOPS ATM is a great knife for chopping things
The knife community is a little better of with abit of Aussie humour. Love the vid mate
Stefon's guide to youtube: "This is the hottest video in town. It has a man chopping palm trees in a robe, an insulting rock, and some wicked tan lines"
So glad you're back and doing your thing. Great vid Pete😊👍
I like how the segment after Forged in Penis was Tip to Tang, followed up by Size Comparisons.
Have you ever seen the TFK T17 Designed by Eric Outer of the Outer limitless channel? His knife looks a lot like that but has an ergonomic handle with customizable scales. It's also less expensive and you can choose among a couple or few different steels. The blade style is also customizable. Everyday Tactical Vids did a three series set of videos on the knife.
Wow, your tan is amazing. I have the same tan, but you pull it off much better
The dbk boys did the 5 knuckle shuffle over this one to.
I've been wanting this knife since it hit the market, but that's out of my budget.
I wanted this knife so bad since one year. Saved my money and i’ll get it next week! And if i’m afraid to use it i always have the option of selling it! I know. I’m crazy...
There a TH-camr that puts high end knife through a tough test. He has tested this Apocalypse against Falkniven A1 pro. ( The Caveman Sur-bush ) I like the guy harsh treatment towards high end knifes...someone got to do it!😅
😭holy shit the start made me burst out laughing 🤣 this is something id do 10mins after the knife arrives
some options to peruse: The Knife Dungeon; The Knife Crypt; The Blade Bunker; The Underground Madlab; The Nether Lab
Say there, fella. Hate to tell you this, but the steering wheel on your car is on the wrong side! Now go fetch me that Buck 110, Mr. Funny Pants.
Love all the Persona/Fire Emblem soundtrack integration.
I'm still saving up for a WCSK
Its said, in Australia, In that tree, there are 178 bugs hidden in there, that will kill you.
The cellar dweller feller who talks to walls is a new look for you. The bathrobe in the yard makes you look much cooler. For $450 they cold have at least come up with their own name instead of ripping off the Survival Lilly APO-1 tag. The only $450 item I bring into the bush is my truck. Nuff said?
Just get an esse 6 from knife connection and then strip the powder coat and add a patena. Will get same results with less than half the price in my opinion.
Great review Pete awesome knife. Only one question do you have to leave a light on in the knife lab is Brickie afraid of the dark?
Kinda gives off a Busse vibe .Good looking knife .
My DBK edition apocalypse is one of my grail knives, love it! Everyone should get one!
I’ll bet that’s really really nice 👍🏻
@@sweetdrahthaar7951 yep, if you’re on the fence I can strongly recommend!!
My fave nutso knife is an A2 fixed blade with a 1/4” thick blade. Just … such a beast dude. It’s very satisfying with how much heft it has. Do I need this thing as I WFH and open Amazon packages? I’d say YES, YES I DO.
I think that chicken was laughing at your pink shirt lol just kidding awesome video as always
I honestly don't get the whole price discussion. It's a high end product you literally could bet your life in. You own folders that where more expensive what actual value do those offer to you? Price is always such a personal factor. If you buy only one larger fixed blade in your life 450 ain't alot. If you buy 10x 100 dollar knives that won't last a long time its a much worse investment.
Exactly. Why spend $100 - 150 here and there on small knives say in Elmax when you can buy one huge slab of it tempered to an extremely high level of quality, and you get to use and to hold a substantial and very professionally well made knife, TRC are now world renowned for their knives being superb.
The trc apocalypse is a stainless steel pry bar with an edge. Just looking at it I can tell I don't like the handle and the fact the finger guard isn't more substantial. If it looked like it was worth the price, id pay for it. However, i don't think it's worth nearly $500. For that price in America, you can by a mossberg-590 A1 mariner
Get a chipper and you’ll have an unlimited supply of awesome compost for your property with those horrible palm fronds.
wobbly table that is
I wonder if Pete has plans to level it, floor leveler pour maybe
brickie is the hero 2021 needs
The opening to this is where I see myself in 10 years.
So in conclusion, Beckers are cheaper, easier to sharpen, and do the job just as well or better. Good thing I have 5 of them...just need to get a BK9 now. Plus is, I haven't spent nearly $450 on 5 Beckers...
That Apocalypse is a nice knife. I just don't think I could spend that on one fixie. My Beckers are proven beasts...hard to mess with sucess!
I think 450 is a little high. But hey, it's Elmax. Then again, I paid 350 for a Crooked River so I can't talk about price in that range.
11:40 Test it on dispatching one of those chickens.
How's it stand up to the halfbreed large bush knife?
That QSP knife looks like a Bison QS134. Trusty little bushcraft knife (if you don't abuse it). :)
Amazing knife. Amazing finish. 👍
