I got my wife one of these for Christmas some years ago and she loves it. She saw one at a gunshow while we were walking around and immediately fell in love with it. She mostly uses it when foraging, as it works great as a machete to trim back thorns and small branches and it cleans easily from harvesting and trimming mushrooms. She's also used it to dispatch a few snakes and a chicken or two.
funnily enough, my wife loves my ka bar space force the most of all my knives too
@@CedricAdait is a nice color ! Probably comfortable grip too.
“I wish my chickens could carry it themselves, and be empowered”
Lordy, what a quote.
I vote no to empowering chickens.
"Fighting against its own Utility" might be the cleverest thing you've ever said and I'm glad I was here for it
3:34
Watching you cut the leaves reminds me of how the US Marines used the KA-BAR to cut the branches and palm leaves to make shelter or stretchers during WW2 while fighting the Japanese in the pacific.
Thank you for making it clear that purchasing this knife is absolutely ridiculous ✋ Hopefully it will save someone
else from that mistake. Way to take one for the team.👍
Perfect timing. My LARPing prop just got here 2 days ago. I went with the Condor Atrox bc it was $50 off on Amazon. I begin my journey to Baldur's Gate at sunrise...
Glad you are getting the vicarious feel of adventure while staying safe at home. Although you seem close to adventure where you live now. As long as Mrs. Pete & the children are occupied elsewhere & therefor out of fantasy danger.
Pete, you are better with speaking in logical reasoning than a logic professor. This is absolutely the meaning of art. Keep up the great work, sir.
Pete, you had me cracking up with this one! I've watched you for years and this was a different format than anything I recall you doing. My first thought was.....are you okay? 😂. I wondered if you'd had too much cold medicine or maybe were just in a weird place in your head when you decided to make this video. But regardless, I really enjoyed it! The rambles and montages were fantastic!
As for LARPING, I often 'dress up' in full kit and run shooting drills in my house with my Mantis Blackbeard trainer. Why? Because I enjoy it! Is it ridiculous? Absolutely! I think we all need to come to terms with the simple fact that we all have things we enjoy that others think are ridiculous and just get on with it!
And if you really want to know what knives the military uses ask Karl the Tactical Rifleman here on TH-cam, him and his buddies can tell you at least in regards to a few countries and a few military branches. Good on you Pete, keep doing what you're doing! I've been enjoying all the knife content you've been putting out again after your brief time away
I enjoy the free-wheeling embrace of the silliness. I like to call them war crimes knives.
I only have one " Big knife " ( version 3) Muela BW24 ( something like Frodo's " Stinger" it's Beautiful, I don't even have a Fantasy, version 1 had a rubber handle, It started to perish, version 2 was stolen ( my bad)
Best machete in my opinion Martindale Crocodile
Seeing you cut an onion with a kabar was frankly very entertaining.
Save the chickens! Let every chicken carry a Ka-Bar!!!!! By the time we know it, they'll be riding Harley's!
Man, that final conclusion monologue whittled the old heart strings like a freshly stropped 1095 cro van 10" blade
The ridiculousness is definitely a huge part of the appeal!
100%. This is one of those blades that simply makes you smile or even laugh every time you hold it in hand just because it is so ridiculous. Have a great day.
I picked one of these up on sale 3 or 4 years ago and at this point I can’t say I’ve ever really used it but I still love the thought of it! In reality and as you said the BK9 or even the BK7 are both far superior and always are first choice when I need some 1095 cro van in my day. Plus in recent years all I can think of when I pick up a knife with these stacked leather handles is DBK snapping them. That said, I always appreciate how thinly ground KaBar makes even their biggest blades and I’m glad they make them for us.
i have found my soul mate. I too want a medal for home defence fromm a local dignitary for using my freaking huge K Bar
+3 for the tank top shot at the end. You should have shot the entire video in a tank top
Refreshingly honest approach. Totally agreed as well.
Great video, excellent comments.
I have a few knives like this, for self-defense. which will probably never be used for this purpose, or have any real use, but I like having them, it makes me feel prepared, which of course isn't true, but it doesn't really matter.
at least ur aware that this is utterly useless for that purpose
I just had another thought about that giant Ka-Bar. It would be the thing to have in your barbecue tools, much like the Opinel No-13.
That sweet potato sequence was . . . sweet
if it tickles your pickle, we will be here for it... tickling our pickles(I will be at least...)
Cool looking blade I have the regular sized version though I wish they’d go with a thicker tang as I’ve seen a number of videos of these breaking in half at the handle in 1095 and magnacut steel versions which doesn’t give me much confidence in using mine even though I don’t have much need for a fighting knife got mine for free in a contest it looks pretty though not what I’d recommend for America’s soldiers though🤷♂️. I don’t know why anyone would think this design needed serrations on the back but I see bad ideas everyday 😢
Did Bobby Boucher make a special guest appearance?
Отличный нож!
Отличное видео!!!
Жаль, что у нас таких ножей нет.
Скажите, под какой градус точите?
Back in the mid-2000s, I bought my soulmate a Buck Bowie-style knife. I can't remember the model. Anyway, she kinda laughed and said, "That's not a Bowie knife. It's too small..."
So a few days later I went out and bought a big Muela Bowie. Her birthday was a few weeks away so I wrapped it up and hid it.
Yeah, she loved that Muela :)
Imagine you doing a collaboration with DBK
we have a mutual love that spans the oceans and windmills
Thank you. Great subjective review. Which btw is the only kind of review there is.
You made my day 😊 Tah!
#EmpoweredChickens
Is lumber cheap in Australia or what? lol.
16:14 Maybe the Philippines
Idk in El Salvador they still fight with machetes. Fuck that.
I don’t like how u chopped those onions
for a LARPing knife, I'd rather have one like Crocodile Dundee had. that would be a fun video... hint, hint
ive been looking at the down under bowie so that may show up soon!!
@@CedricAda Dude, thanks for replying. You’re seriously one of my favorite TH-camrs… you and Uncle Roger. Now THAT would be an AMAZING collab.
stop lookin at da chucks
Wonder how much better it would be if you ground off the serrations and laid the main edge back a bit to slice easier
Edit: Wrote this before you literally did lay the edge back at the end of the video. Good to know it’s even better at slaying those dastardly water bottles now
Somehow I prefer the trashy iphone mic 😂
Isn't fantasy required to be a hardcore knife nerd?
Little brother, what has become of you? 🧐
😅 Cheers! 🍻
SP5 is cooler.
Lol those guys on shooting courses are a complete joke. Just like this knife.
jokes do make people happy though so i guess its still awesome?
That piece of wood isn't ruined, it's just embarrassed
1075 in 2023...
And for more than 100bucks
JUST NO
"It's a utility fighting knife. It fights it's own utility."
What a fantastic summary. You really have talent, Pete.
I loved this a lot. I was laughing out loud a number of times. The truth to our knife hobby is right there in this video.
I'm picking up a Condor Bush Slicer and an Australian Army Machete tomorrow. Getting all giddy thinking about it.
Haven't used the Aust Army Machete but the Bush Slicer is a good blade. Love Condor - great user knives. Have found that Condor edges aren't always the best out-of-box but don't be put off - a few minutes on the stones/strop and away you go. Enjoy. Have a great day.
could we get a review of the new spyderco lil temperance k390 👉👈 i think you would be a fan
Nothing but the truth. Cedric & Ada for the win.
This is the definition of the knife hobby. What a good video.
My latest guilty pleasure is making a really basic scandinavian knife sort of like a Helle Viking and feeling ripples of history coming through my hand every time I pull it out of the sheath. It's as if you're holding a thousand years in your hand.
Helle's are cool-always have good handles, albeit with a stick tang. They work as well as any Mora any day, and are way cooler. Got one myself.
I laughed so hard at the home defence fantasy bit. Great job Pete. I'd never watch a serious review on a knife like this, so your style is perfect.
Before I really started learning about knives, This was my dream knife. How times change. It's nostalgia inducing watching this review...
The serrations are for a reverse cut, you slash or stab, then as you pull back, you use the serrations, it's a devastating cut, this is a pure fiting knife.
Finished watching & now sm convinced to order the Cold Steel XXL USMC Bowie !
Always have a chuckle when you show the Ka-Bar Space Force knife.
...My Spyderco Lil' Native home defense fantasy does not work any more....thanks a lot Pete.....you ruin everything!
If you're ever asked why you have it just look them in the eye and calmly say with a straight face, "the werewolves." Guaranteed, no one will question you and they'll probably leave the area quickly.
boob tube keeps deleting my comments. I have no idea what im saying to keep getting deleted. Not cursing, not saying anything bad, its so frustrating, I hate this platform...
The home defense fantasy bit was incredible.
I bought the black leather version $215au last year. It sits in its box on top of the cupboard and has never cut anything. Just there with other KA-BAR knives I collect and never use. Whilst I haven't used it, I do hate the serrations on the back. They aren't sharp and seem pointless.
Awesome video. I loved the style as well!
it looks like 2.7 out of 5 chikkens find the knife interesting. y'don't get that kind of data anyplace else.
Stop frightening the chickens you BRUTE.
The Fighting Utility Combat Knife acronym is ....
Another lovely video of a dude enjoying a hobby.
Now film it again, but with a machete.
6:44 i love this b-roll. Asking the chickens, 'What do you think about its cutting performance? No? How about you then?'
Does it have the same design flaw braking at the shoulder?
Just what i needed. PETE AND KNIVES
For 250$ you can larping with a nice vintage gerber mk2 in L6 as a navy chef on a battleship, fantasizing about the extreme lethality of it's partial serrated double edge, which is way less dorky and over compensating than this.
Had to sell my standard leather handle KaBar a few years ago. Have missed it ever since. Def one of the most fun knives I ever owned 😢
I'd say this knife is equivalent to buying something from aitor your not actually buying it to do knife things you are buying it for the cool factor
I think we all know what they are strapping on.
A bad ass phany pack. (What?!)
I need one! I am John Wick's brother in D&D!
You should try some of the work tuff gear choppers
Count down to nose freed from glasses! Lol been there bro!
This video is all the reasons I love the knife community
I bought the Tops El Chete and the Bestia for similar reasons. No shame.
It's good to have the silly accordion music back, so the viewers can do a silly dance while watching. Or maybe that's just me 😅
You gave me meaning. A. L A R P !!!!!!!
You, sir, just sealed my decision to buy this knife direct from Ka-Bar for $89.53US. Cyber Monday 2023, LARPers! I also picked up a 2nd Zomstro for $45 so I can look so cool cross-drawing them from the back of my ruck when the zombies come. Consider me a faithful new subscriber. Utility fighters, unite!
You're the best, man!
"Is there anywhere in the world that there are still knife fights happening?" You haven't been to a WalMart or a Circle K in Florida lately, have you? 🤣
I retired my KaBar after seeing a video of the blade breaking off of on while trying to chop through a 2 inch sapling. WTH? The square transition between the blade and handle concentrates stress at the junction, increasing the chance of catastrophic failure. KaBar could redesign the knife, but has never done so. In my opinion, this design prevents it from being a heavy-duty knife.
😂 Brilliant! I appreciate your work regardless of how weird we are.
A grinder for the jag removal.
Batton a live chicken
You are on Pete's property.
You find the Fun Drawer.
You open the Fun Drawer.
You see only Huusk knives.
You hear baffling cacophonous anime/elevator music behind you.
Pete stands, crosseyed. Visible tooth smile.
You've seen too much.
The last thing you see is an improbable Ka-Bar swinging down on you, onions still clinging moistly to the blade.
It's not ridiculous mate...chickens with knives. Makes total sense...
This is why I come here. The enjoyment of knives of all types but the grounded-in-reality attitude. I'm the same way and love big knives, crazy knives, fun knives to go along with all my practical knives. However, I've spent less and less and less time in online knife communities over the years because they've become so LARP'y it's almost embarrassing. What's funny to me is that as the general population carried knives on a daily basis less and less because the need was no longer there, the knife people started carrying bigger and bigger knives and more of them and convinced themselves this is "necessary." What was once considered a full-sized pocket knife is now a "back up blade to my primary carry" in the knife dork and EDC world and their "primary carry" is what people used to consider a work knife or their truck knife or their yard knife. And then these people wonder why people look at them like weirdos when they whip out their Medford folding smatchet at an office party or some huge log splitting tree-felling massive knife on a weekend car camping trip. Again, buy and enjoy what you want, but we've got to stop with this over the top LARPing bs in the knife world.
Nothing wrong w/ big knives. They have their uses, though these days they have started to get a bit too big. Like 3.5lb sharpened crow bar big & that may be a bit far even for me but im sure they have some uses to justify it. Lol
Btw YES! There are still places where knife fights happen. I live in the USA & it happens here. Definitely happens in 2nd & 3rd world countries. Ive been to places where they fight w/ machetes in the streets. Just sayin'.
It's a bit silly and reeks of privileged bubble existence that he's so dismissive about blades having a use outside of batoning firewood and making feathersticks. There are plenty of places in the world where they do come in handy for personal defense.
Great video Pete!
I also have a KaBar big brother and it’s just a big, but dumb fun blade.
Also apparently it was designed by KaBar with the Filipino marines in mind for “light jungle clearing use” in mind.
I heard a story of a man takeing out a bear with a 5 inch knife
Brandon Johnson.
Glad you admit it’s an ego boost toy. I carried (never actually used) a big brother 2 tours in Iraq and 1 in Afghanistan. I bought it myself because as a FNG I really wanted more advantage in hand to hand bladed combat because I was sure I was going to be silently slicing throats and stabbing on a daily basis. It didn’t take long to realize that wasn’t the case. All in all it’s only a few oz heaver and a really cool knife unfortunately I never got to slide the full 9 inches into an enemy combatant but it looked great on my side. As far as utility I really couldn’t tell you I used a bench made griptilian for every utility task. In reality it’s an amazing fighting knife but if your nots!one of the SF guy and not actually using a blade as an offensive weapon in covert black opps it’s not really the knife for a $20 Gerber folder from Walmart will do the job just fine.
this blade will bend like sheat!!!!!!
About ten year ago right after I graduated from You tube University, i decided that I needed to get some SHTF stuff. So, among other things I purchased a K-Bar. Why?I don't know. It looks cool. My dad was a marine. I was in the army. About once a year, while sorting things out, I run across this knife; still in it's original packaging looking as cool and unblemished as the day I bought it. Whenever a K-Bar shows up in a zombie movie; I freeze the frame and point the knife out to my wife, "Look dear, we have one of those," to which she sardonically responds, "that's good."
Want to have some fun useful knives try dBad knives sold only at KHHI kukri house in Nepal. Made out of spring steel and at their sight you can see just how they make their blades. From kukris to Rambo creations, knives that last.😊
Advanced Knife Bro vibes are strong with the Ka-bar forefathers & home defense fantasy bits. Laughing at ourselves helps prepare us for the inevitability of someone else laughing at us.
"The Fighting Utility Knife". The acronym for that would be.....
Apparently this was designed by Doug Marcaida from Forged in Fire. He based it off of a knife used by Filipino Marines.
Did I hear some Advanced Knife Bro doing voiceover work or were you just channeling his spirit? LOL
Serrations are for cutting up your artisan sourdough bread once you've harvested enough squirrel meat for a sandwich. 🤗
Which you eat while you reflect on how you had to stitch yourself up Rambo style after the spine serrations proved best suited to loafs 😏
Mind you, it doesn't specify exactly 'who' gets the reproductive harm done to them on the warning. So I guess if it happens to other people, that's just other people problems
I also was wondering if you were ok while making this video….maybe you and the wife had a tif and you’re just blowing off some steam? Hope all is well!
You sure aren't kidding what dudes are strappin on to make em happy nowadays 😅 I had that knife years back just out of pure stupidity ready for an apocalypse...
