Thanks so much for noticing some of the details we worked hard on, Jacob! A couple notes:
1) You are correct - the BTE thickness is approx 0.020"
2) We aimed to gain strength through blade height as opposed to thickness. We wanted to achieve a substantial cross sectional area without compromising cutting performance.
3) We are dropping these in small batches pretty much every week!
Thanks again!
@tj.schwarz I love your input on blade height!
It's all very well done and thought out!
That is great to hear and I'll make sure to let folks know 💪🏻
I keep missing the drops on this knife. Ugh! I watched TJ's production videos leading up to this release, and was thoroughly impressed. The attention to detail seems amazing. I can't wait to get one in my hands.
I expect it to be one of my favorite knives.
Great content. I have the TJ Schwarz Overland Sport. TJ is a class act and he has designed blade shape for other folder knife co. Dude has nothing to hide under knife-coatings. He is highly regarded in the knife community. Thx
A2 at 62-63 RC is going to be a beast. Worked a lot of traditional Tool Steels in my Toolmaker Career. O1, A2, S7, just really overlooked great balanced and predictable steels.
Over the summer I seen this knife being reviewed by another person who loved it and held it in equally high esteem as you have and I immediately bought one. I have to say I really love it and it is extremely comfortable in the hands. I have to trust TJ Schwarz when he says that he tested the knife in various different heat treats and came to the realization that 62-63HRC was the ideal sweet spot for toughness on this knife. I love everything about it that you mentioned, the tip, blade geometry, edge geometry, sharp spine, the Richlite handle and ofc the awesome sheath and dangler. 🙌🏼🇺🇸
@@richroc7 it's a fantastic package for sure!!!
I like A2! Don't see it too much any more, I think it's an underrated tool steel. Also I like your point about knife manufacturers being miles ahead of the stuff we were getting 20 years ago. The base level of quality seems to have greatly improved. ✌️
Good point on the dangler not being kydex, I had a rat 7 in an off brand kydex with kydex drop. Yep broke in the middle of a deployment. Worst timing possible. But this LT5 is amazing, having handled the last huntsman’s
Coatings Luke Cerakote, Duracoat, KG guncoat ect, won't hide any floors or imperfections in the steel it will actually make it more visible any voids on the surface or imperfections stand out more as light casts a shadow
Bro, that knife looks like an absolute winner.
It is indeed!
Been watching you since the beginning brother, always appreciate the straight forward style love how the channel has become more streamline but kept the kept the heart of it intact. As always a little more fighting rifle and tactical training videos is much appreciated. Too many people buy rifle a and knives and think that's the end of it your job is done. When it's truly just beginning. Keep fighting the good fight hope the game is doing well. God bless, keep it 100 stay safe out there crazy times are just around the corner. Once again with thanks
Sincerely. J.C
Oh man thanks!!!
You are 100% right, I need to get back into r&r!!!!
This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for in a knife...and it's sold out everywhere......
We are working to offer small drops of these every week. Please join our mailing list for a heads up on when they'll drop. Thanks for your support!
Thanks for that..never heard of that brand..like the way you evaluate blades..
@@bushforme thanks!
Sweet review
@@krakentacticaledc thanks!
Excellent review, digging your content! 👍🏻🔥
Thanks!
Got one and wow it’s fantastic. Wish it was uncoated, but otherwise it’s near perfection.
This maker can deliver amazing quality product at competitive price. Survive should have looked at guys like him for inspiration. Instead of getting a million dollars in the hole.
They did work together early on/collaborated to my knowledge.
@@SKiiTTLe5 with Guy?
@@dmitryk754 yes I read it last night actually as I was researching the origins of Survive…TJ originally was a knife designer to that’s probably the nature of their collaboration
@@SKiiTTLe5 interesting, well I am glad he went his own way at this point, great products
@@dmitryk754 yeah he wasn’t like best friends or business partners I don’t think, it just said they collaborated early on in the survive days.
I was looking at a confidante but really like this as well… he does excellent functional design.
The confidante sure does have a lot of awesome options!
This is a great knife. I’ve been loving mine. I think TJ cerakoted this knife is because it’s A2. This is the best knife for the value that I own.
@@Sharpbevel it's fantastic!
I really like the knife, have not had a chance to test it out but the grip could use a wee bit more purchase for my hands. Honestly the only real downside for me at least for the moment. It does feel good as far as material, but i have kinda larger hands.
I just wish TJ offered a no coating on this blade.
That would be cool
What are your thoughts/experiences on sharpening A2 at 62-63 HRC?
@@christopherlarson7579 I haven't had to do it yet but I imagine that with just a little stropping it'll be a LONG time before I do, and when that time comes I don't think it'll be difficult.
neat!
Great review. Excellent. But you didn't address the handle material.
It's richlite, and it's nice.
Give it a flat grind and you have an Esee 6HM!
@@basemandog ... do you really think that?
@@Thepreppersbunkeroutdoors
Yeah based on looks.
Blade shape and handle design
@@basemandog there is no single detail anywhere on this knife that looks remotely close to a 6hm.
@@Thepreppersbunkeroutdoors
Even an esee 5 is comparable, cheaper with an outstanding warranty
@@basemandog I have to guess at this point that you are joking lol
