😂 Husk knife isn't Japan . It's made in Chins by Chinese company assemble in Japan and Chinese owned P. O. Box address company in Japan. Basically , Chinese pretending as Japanese. 😂
I like how you included the strongarm. Dont get me wrong 420hc is bare minimum of steels but like said sometimes you need a sharpened prybar more than a knife.
Comedy gold! 😂 On a related note, i was thinking of the channel and all you know guys today when the universe provided a moment of synchronistic beauty when i was tasked with cutting a bunch of twisted sissal rope. Of yeah baby I've been mentally preparing for this moment for years! 20CV did great, but more importantly i could keep my mind off terrible career decisions and instead keep my mind busy thinking about how my other knives in other steel would have fared at the task. With 20cv at my hipi did just fine. Thanks Pete!
Feel like the Becker BK2 would've been worth a mention. It's basically an ESEE 5 (which would be my "money-no-object" survival/rescue knife), but falls roughly between the ESEE and the CS SRK in price ($100-$250-$350) so it's a little more manageable to dump in the boot of a car compared to the ESEE. Not to mention, it's main cost saving "detractions" compared to the 5 (the plastic scales and cheap sheath), matter much less with a knife that you aren't planning on using/carrying regularly.
Hultafors GK fantastic knife had one for about 10 years living in my bag, I'm the same I own 3 of them, my first I made into a Zero scandi after years of abuse, I hammered a Chaga mushroom off a tree with one as you say a couple of white marks on the handle but easy to remove.
The cold steel srk-c has a flat grind, I like it better than the hollow. You should look at the Jakkaripuuko, for sun $100 they are damn near indestructible and come in different blade lengths.
As a police officer, I once had to enter a home to reach the elderly resident who had broke a hip and fallen in her basement. She’d been there overnight before a concerned neighbor called. I breached the back door using a Victorinox SD Classic.
Great video as always. Very solid, sensible list. I always enjoy hearing your opinions and the enjoyable, entertaining way you have of sharing them with us. Much respect.
I have a hultafors GK in ALL my kit bags. Bought one for virtually everyone I know. Dirt cheap here. £4.50 a piece, shallow convex reprofile makes it a pretty damn good "Bushcraft" knife. Feathers like a dream. Factory edge is dog 💩.......
In most States and Territories of Australia it's illegal to be in possession of a knife in public without a "genuine reason", and carrying for these sort of hypothetical scenarios would most likely not be accepted as a "genuine reason" by a court (because this would in practice allow knives to be carried publicly in almost any circumstance). And before anyone asks, a knife in your vehicle counts as "possession" for legal purposes, even if it's out of arm's reach or locked in a glovebox or the boot.
A normal citizen is only ever going to be pulled over by the police for speeding, or some traffic offence in which case there'll never search your car for any weapon, unless you look like a criminal . So if you look respectful, I wouldn't worry about it. Just keep any knife out of site. Just think of all the tradies that carry things that could easily be used as a weapon. As the law goes I know your right But sometimes the law is an ass. Ps I live in New Zealand , and that law would be the same here.
You can still buy the SCHF9 which is a good buy for a big knife. If someone prefers something a bit shorter, they can buy the SCH26 (I have the fancier SCHF10 with Micarta handles) for a bit less. I see them for around $30 or less here in the USA. And if they prefer a straight blade Schrade has other models like SCHF36 or SCHF51. I see plenty of them as well as the Cold Steel SRK and the SRK Compact. The Hultafors was an excellent suggestion.
Love my Benchmade Triage folder black blade orange g-10 handles very grippy blade seatbelt cutter window breaker always been my #1 rescue folder for a fixed blade 🤔 that’s harder guess I’ll go with my southern grind jackal good mid sized tough sharp blade but I could probably pick many other fixed blades.
Damn you, Pete! Just watched this, went to Amazon, saw that the Strongarm is on sale for $63 usd and bought it. Mind you, I already own a couple of Moras, an Esee 4, Civivi Tamashii, an SRK, a Tops Brakimo…
My current car knife is just one of those cheap buck 110s with the plastic handles, probably the best knife you can just buy at the local stores here for $25 (at least, that's about what I paid). However, for the use cases you mentioned, I might consider the SRK, as obviously a plastic handled 110 isn't up to any kind of rigorous strain.
A good thought exercise, bu the best answers wouldnt be knives. Ultimately persuaded me to at least put an estwing hatchet in my truck box. Other thoughts were construction tools like big wood chisel, hammer, wrecking bars. Or maybe dedicated rescue tools. I know that kind of misses the point of the vid. Its just where my mind wound up.
@MB-jg4tr th-cam.com/video/OhLRN2Rj1fk/w-d-xo.html This same guy(don't know his name) did an earlier vid on a hultafors 'chisel knife'. Looka like winner to me
I bought the GK by chance, I was just looking for something cheap to reach the price limit to get free shipping. Man, I really don't regret my purchase. I put a convex grind by simply following the original shitty double scandi and now I cannot find a knife that cut thick branches as good as this one.
Hey Pete, it's been a minute :D 5:38 pretty sure the SRK is actually hollow grind, at least it looks like it when I look at mine. Would also be my choice of knife for the here discussed purpose (but then again, it's my favorite knife, I would walk into the apocalypse with that knife).
I keep my Esee 5 in the console of the truck. If there's any knife that will probably survive being used for absurdly non knife tasks I figure that's the one.
I'd definitely say the ESEE 5 is the best pick of you can afford it (I, unfortunately, can't). I also think that the console or glove box is a better spot than the boot of your car, as you never know when the person that needs rescuing from a car accident is you.
Cold Steel Magnum Warcraft Tanto in 3V with 12 inch blade for extra leverage to help pry shite open like a helicopter wreak or vehicle crushed by a tree or crumpled after a rollover, that was my theory anyway. At least added to the excuse... I mean... logical reasoning for carrying a foot long blade that looks like something a post apocalyptic comic book vampire slaying ninja would carry. Actually I genuinely think my logic was sound. I was being flown in helicopter or driving out into wilderness for firefighting and post fire mop up so the other purposes were as a machete in the viney crap along creeklines where fires edges often stall and smoulder, or to help break up smouldering timber (although chainsaw, axe and rakehoe do just fine for most of that most of the time... but shut up). So a I made my own category I guess: "Rescue Machete". Although I usually go with "Chopping Survival Knife".
A couple of those are quite nice. My fixed blade go to is the Tops Lil Bro - I carry it horizontal at my front-center. (I have to slide my belt-buckle an inch or so to the side) It is completely concealed, very comfortable (even when sitting), and very easy to access with either hand. Granted, it does have a smaller length blade, but it is just long enough to be viable I think.
@@sterlingstoots3215 I really like mine. I also like their Tom Browne Scout if I am going to the woods for anything. They are pretty affordable - around $140 or so I think.
Have you ever done a review on the Glock 78's or 81's? I've seen some really brutal destruction videos of them and they stand up quite well, and wonder what you think of them.
EDC, no one is wearing a big fixed blade on their side! I did videos myself on same subject. Spyderco Rescue Assist on my side 24/7. ON MY CHARTER BOAT, ya never know what could happen with fishing lines, dock lines, PFD's, etc. Years ago, COLD STEEL folding Tiger Claw serrated, Thin, and wicked. SEE THE DIFFERING OPINIONS. Wow, ""now thats a Knife Mate"" must be a Aussie thing. DANG, WHAT ELSE LIVES IN THAT NASTY CAR??????
People like to mock emergency preparations at least when they blend in with survival/prepper/tactical kind of stuff but at the end of the day a person without tools isn't really much help in very many situations except for being able to make a cell phone call (not to minimize that importance). I live in the Midwest U.S. and do a lot of driving. We have hot humid summers and often very brutal winters. Just within the realm of a car accident of yourself or someone you could stop to aid there's a million different potential uses for a strong cutting and prying tool. Maybe the car is overturned and you have to smash a side window, cut a seatbelt or upholstery, pry a slightly bent or crushed door frame to pop the latch open (not at all an uncommon thing in a rolling or side-impact car accent). There could be obstructions around or in the car if it's rolled into the ditch or hit a tree. I could go on of course but it's never a bad thing to have a plan B. I've found that when people question why you have this or that on your person, car, or bag they tend to ridicule any potential reason you give as if you need to already know exactly what you'll need it for and usually acting like there doesn't exist a situation where a knife could come in handy.
Buddy lost our little saw on an out of state hunt, we used my smoke jumper to disassemble 3 antelope. That included him deciding to chop through the pelvis and spine. Barely any marks on the edge, the black coating took a beating though, it's a beast of a knife.
“…these are used for hunting the ultimate game…man.” [displays powder blue Kbar] “Really? Where exactly?” “Miami beach. I have a T-shirt that matches it exactly. Got the whole Miami Vice vibe with white cotton slacks and some snazzy sandals…”
The robust is in my car for that exact role and it was literally $12 so I got on for my brother and my buddy and all 3 of us give them hell with absolutely NO hesitation on what we do with them and 2 years later all 3 are fine. They have been massively abused but are just as good as when I bought them. Mindblowingly fantastic knives
For a rescue knife you generally want a blade that's a little bigger. Though, I did literally cut a hole through a solid 2½" wood door on a cabin with my Morakniv Robust once,... made a fist sized hole in maybe 6 minutes through, enough to reach inside and unlock the door. I was seeking shelter from possible death by extreme cold, caught in a blizzard on a mountain.
Little help knife bros, I am deciding between f1x elmax or f1x lam cos..which is tougher/stronger/not chippier for lets say this aplication where you are gona abuse it a little?
It would be really helpful if you put links in pinnned comment with the products you showed in the video. Bonus for you is you can put affiliate links. Nothing wrong with earning a bit for your effort and content. Cheers!
The newer budget CS SRK in SK5 steel is heat treated too high Rockwell making it brittle. The hollow grind makes the tip particularly weak and prone to breaking. The older CarbonV & AUS-8 versions were much stronger. The newer CPM-3V version is probably up there in strength also. I'd stay away from the Budget SK5 version for hard use.
The Ontario 499 air force survival knife would have been a nice low cost addition to the list, ( made for that kind of stuff) were it not the company who made them just closed down.
Sure it's a rat tang too, I have seen a lot of Kabar tangs breaking off in TH-cam films, ( more than I care to admit) but none of the Ontario 499's, I guess they do/did someting different there. @@49giants3
That USAF "survival" knife has a very weak rat tang, it's one of the easiest to break with lateral force. Weaker than a Ka-Bar by a lot. I literally watched someone break one in half with two hands just folding it over their leg a little. No way I would trust one.
I saw a homeless man throw away a husk knife today, I watched him for a moment. He went on to meet a rich woman at a park they made love and she showered him with money.
You have definitely had corporate safety training. "Are you okay, is it okay if I help you? I'm qualified in First Aid/CPR. Where does it hurt?" Meanwhile, other preparations are made for dealing with real life shituations...
Hey man, just carry the knife in your pocket. You know like a normal person does. Not only that you forgot leathermans, and other muti tools. Lastly you seam to forget the best way to get past a door quickly. Kicking it in.
You forgot Huusk Japan knife
Please Huusk, rescue me from all these good knives!!!
A robber once wanted to kill me. Luckly huusk sold him a child safe knife that blunted instantly

As the law goes I know your right
But sometimes the law is an ass.
Ps I live in New Zealand , and that law would be the same here.
Becker Bk-10 is another… I’ve used mine as a garden trowel.
I would have expected the jaakaripuukko from Varusteleka on the list. Costs like 40 euros here in Europe and is basically indestructable.
You can still buy the SCHF9 which is a good buy for a big knife. If someone prefers something a bit shorter, they can buy the SCH26 (I have the fancier SCHF10 with Micarta handles) for a bit less.

No Huusk knife? It must've been number six.
He eliminated it from consideration, as it would have taken all five top spots, obviously.
🤣
Huusk knife is number poo, I mean, two.
You missed a couple of digits. It's number is 666.
I have a Strongarm as my car knife, with a Buck 119 in the trunk as a backup. Fun video!
Dang it! I would have put money on a Becker being high in the list.
Im shocked the BK2 didn't make the list since it is literally a sharpened pry bar. Maybe they are crazy expensive after import?
The MOD survival knife defo fits the bill. Indestructible.
I carry a Mora Companion in my boot and a Silky saw, as well as a razor blade knife in my center console to slash seatbelts if needed.
Oh, and a Worksharp Field sharpener. I have one in the boot of my car and one at home.
Mora garberg and the terava jakaari puukko are also tanks and affordable
I have both the srk and srk-c, the esee 4, gerber prodigy(really similar to the strongarm). Love them all.
Great video. I do a lot of remote driving and keep in the 4x4 the f1 and the cold steel srk, both are good reliable tools

The Bahco wrecking knives are also advertised as hammerable. Suprised not to see a wrecking knife, particularly a chisel-tipped one, on this list.
It's ok to throw in a non-knife to the list. A hatchet could eventually get through a downed tree blocking the road for instance.
So knives for breaking into houses and cars? Cool!
if thats what you want to take from this, no worries 🤷🏻♂️
I was expecting to see the Terävä Jääkäripuukko 110. I believe it meets all your criteria.

Did you see the cold steel srk that triple b broke?
The newer budget CS SRK in SK5 steel is heat treated too high Rockwell making it brittle. The hollow grind makes the tip particularly weak and prone to breaking. The older CarbonV & AUS-8 versions were much stronger. The newer CPM-3V version is probably up there in strength also. I'd stay away from the Budget SK5 version for hard use.

It is not an art to cut with a good knife, it is an art to cut with a Huusk knife ☝️.
