dude, you're making the best reviews out there now, I like how efficient your videos are and are becoming, great job!
jpgr8937 thanks for the compliment, means a ton!
I too love the direction they're going.
I really liked the Cerberus and was using it regularly on my hiking and outdoor adventures until last weekend when after some batoning - the knife broke in the middle. After removing the scales - it turned out that this "Full tang" knife is not that full because the portion of the knife where the handle is turns out to be skeletonized and not that strong at all. So basically it is not a full piece of steel with only 2 holes where the handlescales connect but it is a knife with skeletonized tang that turned out to be weak enough to be broken with batoning. Just have this in my mind - I also live in a country where such knives are not sold at all and it was around 1 and a half month wait for it to come and it took me quite some money because of all the international shipping and taxes - sucks to be disappointed in such anticipated knife.
The reason some say D2 is likely to chip is the carbides, bigger than those in O1, by that with a "risky" angle it might show minor break-outs, still, not a bad steel w. the right angle, and awesome for hunting knives as slicing does not apply lateral forces to the edge.
Nice review!
Knife center email from yesterday 30 June 2019 peeked my interest, they had the knife on sale as a closeout for $99.95.
So I researched to get more info/reviews and found this video.
Great review Aaron, I will be buying the knife!
Turn on eBay all day long for 9999
Really cool knife. I don't get why this didn't make more waves in the affordable wilderness blade category. I kinda want one; hope I can still find it.
Any luck?
OKC outdid themselves with this one. This blade length around 4.5" - 5" is my preferred for fixed blade knives. I always hear about D2 being a pain in the a$$ to sharpen, not really for me, you just need a HQ diamond hone. Added to my list.
PerceptionVsReality sweet!!
Thank you for the review. I have been excited about this knife since I first saw it.
wow okc did one heck of a job on this one thank you for showing us this blade
James Case no problem
Have a great sunday
an excellent knife! Thats what i was looking for all the time: a perfect symbiosis between a bushcraft campknive and a "tactical" combat knife. Perfect. Thanks for showing it and made me finding it. Pricepoint in Germany in USD is around 270.- !!!
Reminds me of the Winkler Field Knife but less expensive. Like the blade shape to it but agree with the price point thing. Seems to be pretty expensive. I think the handles are bit more ergonomic than the Field Knife with a bit better grip.
My luck.....I bought it and very next week your review comes up....... this knife lives upto expectations....57-59 is a sweet spot for D2 heat treatment. Love your review....hopes high that my blade can do much more as you demonstrated in the video.....
Ah, yes, the Cerberus, Hades personal three headed hound, guardian of the Underworld, Heracles' final trial, and apparently my next knife purchase holy shit
James Milton haha!
I Had to watch this vid Again, the Knife and your enthusiasm about it have Really put it on my What List.
You are my go to channel for knife reviews. Midway USA has the Cerberus on sale for $99.95 with free shipping.
I purchased a Benchmade Arvensis 119 at a local store that was having a 20% off sale, so I got it for $150.00. I believe it would compare well with this knife and it has a sheath that is made from Boltron with a molle compatible clip included. The steel is 154cm and it has a DLC coating. If you are interested in reviewing it I can get it to you as I am in the Denver Metro area.
banditgriot thanks for the input, I already have it and it rocks.
It does and I am surprised, given my bias against most things Benchmade. I look forward to your review. And when are you planning to review the Dark Timber/Bark River Grizzly?
I understand how you are judging these things on quality and getting the most value for your dollar. I agree with you. The point I'm making is that its not the same thing as affordable. Keep up the good work. i really enjoy the videos.
Dang! I heard myself saying ala Tac: "Awwww, yeah!" x )
You review so many awesome knives! If I had not blown my knife budget this year, I would totally be interested in this Cerberus!
I want to see a review of the Ka Bar Turok, that knife looks really cool
Say Heah Aaron, A while ago, O.K.C. made a knife that was Tactical, but also for Bush Craft, It was a 1/4" thick and a 5" Flat Grind blade, But with a Higher RECOMMENDED then they dropped the RC because too many were shipping the edge. I used my hard, but obviously not that hard because I never chopped mine, I use my Hatchet and saw to process my firewood. But yeah, I still use my T.F.I. yeah, its a blocky handle, But with a little file and very lightly, I have the handle fit perfectly for my hand, And all I did was touched up areas on the handle when I grilled the handle hard, that was the areas I lightly filed, Anyhow its all good now. So is the knife, I teamed it with my Gen2 SP-53.,,.
Say Heah Aaron, When it first came out, I got the Ranger T. F. I. I teamed it with my SP-53, Yeah, O. K. C. make some very good knives, I still use my set and they haven't failed me yet. Job well done, Thanx You. ,, .
Awesome Blade, and an Awesome Sheath, they hit a High level of Cool and a Great Job with this Knife.
Wesley McCann totally agree!
I will replace some of my money with this Knife because I just don't need all this money and it doesn't cut well..
cyclist01222 try making your own micarta scales for it with $100 dollar bills for substrate layers in the epoxy
Looks like a great handle shape, I like the forward palm swell. Seems like a decent knife for what you're paying.
Michael Demers I am very happy with it
It has a French chefs knife profile which Dave Canterbury is really into.
really nice review could you do a video highlighting the different types of steel in knives and what you prefer and also how you sharpen your knives differently from the factory
Kevin Thomas good idea I just might
This... this looks VERY promising!
Thanks for the preview!
Thanks man for the review, my kind of knife as well. Will be purchasing soon. BOOM!
bkdesignr awesome!
Digging this video and the knife. I'm going to have to check it out.
Looks nearly perfect for the size/price. Ontario, if you're listening: if you come out with a Cerberus with a 6-8" blade (bonus if it's a drop point), I'd buy several :)
I would like to see the same knife with a 6-8" blade, and maybe with a drop point option. If Ontario would come out with something like the cancelled Dave Cantebury knife (ESEE DC-6) or the Battle Horse Knives Highlander / Scout Platoon with a 6-8" blade and kydex sheath at an affordable price it'd be awesome. The Battle Horse offerings are nearly perfect but almost twice the price I'd want to pay and the sheaths aren't the best. The DC-6 was going to be amazing but was going to come with a leather sheath and won't see the light of day since it was cancelled entirely. A 6-8" Ontario Cerberus, especially in a drop point design, would scratch that affordable choil-less general field/bush/"tactical" work horse blade itch for me. The only other knife I can think of similar to that would be the rumored choil-less ESEE 6 hm that's coming out, but the ESEE hm knives so far are only offered with leather sheaths and all ESEE knives still have that black coating. I much prefer no coating or something like what's on the Cerberus. Maybe I need to get into the knife-making business...
I'll be picking one up... good video man... keep up the good work
Michael Shook thx!
love this knife! I have a lot of Ontario knifes and and I like them the field knife you reviewed I have and love but man this one I love the wide blade the shape is awesome I seen it on knife center but never really looked at it but seeing a knife on video and in a catalog is quite different again great video man thankyou
al arsenault no problem, glad to help.
great video. i remember when you posted something about this knife on Instagram and i looked it up and was put off by the $265 price. well i just ordered it for $125 from your Amazon store. thanks for the review.
Chester Coffin thanks so much brother!!
on my list, thanks for the review!
Aaron, love your reviews. You are my go to channel for knives. To me it looks like a Winkler style knife. Think I'll pick it up.
a video on thoughts on top blade under 5 inches would be great. How is this vs Esee 4, Esee LS, Tops BOB, Tops HOG, Swamp Rat Ratmandu ect
Looks like a winner. My question is about the sheath, is it ambidextrous? Thanks for the video.
Jeff Strong totally is!
Awesome knife!!! Trying to find it in any way possible, but shipment to Bulgaria for this one especially is not an easy task.....
Love this one.
Looks like a great knife. Thanks
COWs of Suffolk no problem thank you for watching
Is there ANY steel that some people won't have a problem with?
seattwa it's not the steel in question. It's the price of the steel people are having a hard time wrapping their heads around. Especially when you can get an srk in cpm-3v for way less.
Great knife and great review! Thanks for sharing.
That looks like a real winner!
Looks pretty nice. How about Cerberus vs Brakimo? Is the Cerberus /really/ all that tactical? For flat-out soldier duty I'd probably stick with the Gerber Strongarm... so what does the Cerberus bring over that on the camp knife side?
Ruster Kat better steel, better grind for use, full tang, better ergos, longer blade, just some pluses
take from what you will. cheers!
Aaron really sold me on the Brakimo as a capable large bushcraft/camp knife and I prefer scandi grinds for working wood (probably from long hours carving with Mora knives). He beat on it pretty good and the edge held up well (according to him). Brakimo looks pointy enough to stick something if necessary, too. I have a file so 90deg spine is no problem on a diff hardened TOPS. Seriously thinking this might be a future purchase for me.
Re. Soldier knife/tactical... the abuse that the Strongarm can take says it all (I have one but have not put it thru 'gauntlet' style 'use' yet). Dig a hole, pry apart a pallet, beat it thru a 55Gal drum lid and still have a dull-but-working edge says it all for me. I think one would need to be more cautious with a D2 FFG blade than a 420HC saber ground blade, and I don't think cautious and soldier/tactical use go well together.
Don't get me wrong, the Cerberus looks like a really nice blade and I would definitely like to own one were my knife purchasing resources unlimited; I just struggle with the use-case at the price point for me personally. YMMV, of course. Carry on bravely.
Ruster Kat. The Brakimo is a top-notch blade. This is an older comment, but if you haven't yet, I would definitely recommend getting one.
awesome job my friend!!! that is so cool
coolkid survival thanks brother
This knife sells for $99.99 without the kydex sheath(come with cheap cordora sheath). OKC bait & switch us. With the kydex it's $149.
I love d2 but I ain't paying that much
OKC nailed it! might replace my esee 6
Fun fact Aaron, Cerberus basically translates to "Spot". So Hades named his hellhound one of the least terrifying names ever.😂
Sean Byrd haha
Absolutely awesome. 10/10
StandsWithABeer sweet!!
D2 actually reach optimal toughness at 60 hrc. There is no gain in toughness until hardness drops way to the low 50#.
I like very much that kind of knife! good choice!!!
Supervivencia Charly Peterson Bushcraft thanks!!
It sure looks great. Thank you for the review! I hope the price will drop, though. In American dollars it's a bit to overpriced in my opinion. Even with the Kydex sheath. But in Europe however, where I live, the Cerberus is insanely expensive! Current price is close to 300 dollars!! :-(
to bad the heat treat not 60-62 for d2 . You would get more out of steel . Good video
amazing knife!!
Please review the Mora Eldris
Nice knife but kind of surprised by price. Not the usual high bang per buck they are known for. At that price point it should be better steal and blade tech included.
Refined Edge I will have to disagree, an esee4 is $100ish and the Cerberus has better ergos and the d2 holds a better edge and comes with a better coating
gideonstactical good point but think I would prefer a well heat treated 1095.
This comes with a better sheath than the ESEE plastic sheaths also.
Looks like a great knife I just might have to pick it up
Patrick Fitzgerald you won't be sorry.
Another great review!
Alright alright, I am sold, gonna go look for this knife xD
German Survivalist sweet!
German Survivalist : Let me know if you find it anywhere. I live in Denmark and I've been trying to find a place to buy it in Europe at a reasonable price. No luck so far :-(
The G-Man
I`ll give ya a holla if it reaches Europa :)
German Survivalist Thanks, I would greatly appreciate it. I've seen it on some European web shops but the price is way too high, unfortunately. Right now it's about 265.00 € :-(
Ontario has closed its factory, so if you want any of their products now is the time to get them.
Ya so sad
Love it, just wish it was cheaper
am I the only one getting 'F42d vibes
No, you're not.
My first thought as well, but the d didn't totally eliminate the recurve which annoys me on my flat stones. If LMF supports this knife I'll get one (because a knife just doesn't cut right without the pretty blue liners).
If you like this knife you should test the reel steel bushcraft 2 (d2 steel,g 10 scales)
eh big hoss can you do a review on the gerber bush or golok machete
Got mine for $99 on sale at Knife Center
Say Heah Aaron, I'm sort of playing a Wannabe Nessmuk, I ordered the Steel Will Druid 240 4.9" blade with the Bokor Plus Tec-Tool 2.8in. I'll add my folding saw and my Estwing Double Bit Hatchet and Blip Blap Blam, Should be perfect for my Hikes and Afternoon delights, Lemme be tge first to Wish You and Friends, a Happy Thanksgiving. ,, .
112.00 if you buy in person at the factory.
hi...sorry about my english...this knife is similar than the Ontario RD6 Bush? I think is a similar blade, but with diferent handle size
Will 154cm hold a better edge than 1095HC or S30V
seems in about the same category as the dark angel from steel will. which do u like more?
Say Heah Aaron, How are you my trusted friend, I have another $64,000 question, Which one the Bokor Black Rold or the O.. K. C. Cereberus ? Thanx You
paulie 4x cerberus
gideonstactical Thanx, Aaron, Geez, I just bought a Benchmade Arvensis 119 to match with your suggestions the Bokor Coye Ridgeback, Now the O. K. C. Cereberus, But, Yeah, It's looks good D2 and it's a little smaller, What smaller knife would you match it with, Anyhow Thanx You.
I guess I'll just keep watching your channel, Your a reliable source, that I use.
paulie 4x I just got the Benchmade 119 too love it
Yeah, It goes well with the Bokor Coye Ridgeback, I teamed mine up, I horizontally carry them, I attached the Ridgeback on the bottom, I wish the sheath had a Pancake sheath because the holes cause the Ridgeback to be upside down, But I have just enough chain so I can flip it without any problem, I used a stainless bracelet that was too small for me, I couldn't get it over my fist, and it didn't separate, so I hunged it from that attached to that new type of loc-tec, I layer the bracelet along the bottomm and snapped it shut and bingo it turned out great, Thanx for sharing that Ridgeback, I also sharpened it on my Work Sharp, I nearly can shave with it now. I grew up on 440c. Bokor ghits it on the head Tempering the 440c. All those years of selling it as a premier stainless. Thanx You.
It looks like they ripped off the Tops Pasayten lite tracker??
I have a Camillus Heat that had a good about of usage. Found out they dont make the knife anymore. Is there anything similar specially looking for spring assist openers?
OdinofWei not sure
Say Heah Aaron, Is the blade and tang the same as my Mora 2000, Thanx You in advance. ,, .
Just got one based on your review. Like the tool but the handles are too smooth. Does anyone make rougher handles for this knife?
I'm wanting a knife to put on my belt when I go into the woods without any other tools. I want it at around the 5 inch range. I want to do carving and batonning mainly. would you think the OKC cerberus or the ESEE laser strike would be better?
Where do you get the music from? I love it
How do you feel about the lateral strength of their D2?
Turok or Cerberus?
What do you like this more this or the benchmade protagonist
where was this knife made?
What would you recommend to add traction to the handle on this knife? My wife bought this for me as a birthday present based on your review.
Hockey tape is the cheap option or some sort of stippling. I never had any traction uses on mine. Are you slipping, or are you just concerned?
gideonstactical A little of both actually. I want to use it as a edc/field knife but I find the grip to be a little disconcerting.
gideonstactical On a side note, do you have plans to review the CRKT Rakkasan?
yep, thats a knife I could get behind :)
Luke Morry good to hear it!
This versus the new TOPS Brakimo. Which is your pick for a kind of do all around the campfire 5" knife?
Death-match Request: Brakimo vs Cerberus vs Ratmandu
Great Idea!!
cerberus was the pet and companion to Hades, the God of Death. he was a 3 headed hell hound..
If the knife were owned by a U.S. soldier then it would not be used to stab "bad guys" but people defending themselves from being invaded.
Knife looks awesome, but it doesn't look like my type of blade so i'll pass. And it's also a bit out of my price range
What do you think of kizlar supreme knives brotha
I have been using Kizlyar blades for a long time and have several of their blades. I find that the eye to detail is much better on the standard Kizlyar blades (semi custom made, expensive for them to produce). Kizlyar Supreme are the mass production models being punched out of a modern factory. I find the supreme range has trouble with simple things like having the same angle on both sides of the edge. Kizlyar make beautiful functional knives that are damn near indestructible but the supreme range has dropped the ball.
👏👏👏👏👏👏
For $150 I'd go for a esee 5.
so friggin sweet!
145 on amazon is not a great price.
First thumbs up! awesome video dude!
Max Spettmann thanks for being the first!
And yet Ontario still keeps selling us nylon 😕 I LOVE my Ontario SK5 and my Spec plus survival bowie but their stupid sheaths are just plain annoying. Don't get me wrong the Sk5 sheath isn't bad for what it is it does the job. That said a simple kidex taco style sheath like Tops uses for the Brakimo and Bob would make it much better out of box.
This knife is like some freakish moment an Ontario history and design .....Yes we know Ontario you are a major USA military supplier and must produce lowcost sheaths. BUT please don't stop this way of thinking your basic citizens can afford that extra $10-$20 for a cool rig.
I still like my turock
I can think of a better knife at a better price range, the Gerber Strongarm.
Just let me say i like your videos including this one. But i think you are a little out of touch with what the average guy can afford. I feel my income is pretty representitive of the people i know, and for me if i cant get a knife for between $50-$70 I cant afford it. Not criticizing you just cant agree with you on its affordability.
cris loucks I rate affordable based off the materials and the average market cost of other items with similar materials. There is a noticeable jump in quality between a $70 knife and a $140 knife. But I understand if that is your budget.
WOW does the sheath have to be so fat????
Jericho Fiona it is a little big then I prefer but it makes up for it is fit and quality.
