#ColdSteel #Dropforged #Knife - บันเทิง
love em or hate em, cold steel makes some good stuff.
Ya, pre-GSM
I’ve been waiting for this knife test and it didn’t disappoint
That's exactly what I was thinking throughout the entire video.
See someone watched this video and wasn't upset at the end of the video. No body will ever shoot a knife. But there are tests here that should be considered. Batoning is one of those test. If your knife doesn't like to Baton then you can not really rely on it as a bushcraft knife or survival knife.
@Mr. Hugsnuggels G'day mate, yep that's my experience too. Cheers Duke.
@@Patriot-rising G'day mate, totally agree. I reckon it's important to pair a big fella with a smaller secondary blade for finer tasks but can still get you out of strife and batoning is a key element in doing so. Cheers Duke.
@@eyeofthetiger4184 Indeed! I added some cable ties to the sheath. This allowed me to attach some molle type puches to carry multitools. I also glued some velcro to the back of the sheath and glued more velcro onto the back of a diamond sharpening plate. And of course added a firesteel loop. Awesome kit now!
Big knives that hold up and arent too expensive are the best because you dont hesitate to do heavy work with them. I used to carry an A1pro but I felt kind of bad to put it through hard work.
DBK all the way! 💪🏽
My wife and kids take all my money, so thank you for the budget options. Looking forward to your DBK budget line, Proost
There something about the music in between "scenes" that gives me a really amazing nostalgic feeling. Thank you guys for what you do. Thursday is my favorite day of the week since I found your channel....
Perfect test of perfect knife. Thank you guys for showing the limits of the knife to whole world!
Cold Steel just has a very consistently good price to performance. They aren't as fancy and nice as a Fallkniven, but also not as expensive as other brands like that.
Cold Steel just make knives that work with a reasonable price.
This is the first video of yours I’ve seen,I have to say I’m impressed,you have my subscription.great job guys.😊☮️
You guys make the best videos. Always looking forward to them. Thank you and keep up the great job!
YEEEEEES my fav knife i use outdoor, lets see how it goes (I don't care that it broke that way) cold steel fans know the impact resistance of their carbon blades is not the best
I love this channel! Always fun and informative.
I now own a Garberg and a Terava Puukko thanks to you guys.
I’d love to see a video on the Ontario Blackbird ML5 if that’s possible.
Either the 420HC or the s35vn.
Thanks for the great videos.
Glad I bought the Survivalist version. It's a seriously chunky boy piece of steel.
I absolutely Love the Video Content Guys spot on. I’m stoked I found this Channel and know where to go to see if a Knife is Tough or not lol. You Guys stay safe, Semper Fidelis
You guys are so funny. Easily the most enjoyable channel on bushcrafting knives. And refreshing to see one that doesn’t greet you with ‘Hey y’all’
Another awesome video guys 😁👍. I have literally gotten different knives STRICTLY because of you gentlemen and I really appreciate all that the both of you do! Thank you so much for never stopping wicked awesome content!!!!!!
Hello from Oklahoma! You two make this old man laugh. Thanks for all you do! God Bless!
I flipping bloody well love this channel.
You really nailed it guys!
This is one of my favorite knives for heavy duty work, I use my Mora Companion for lighter duty and fine work. I stripped mine and sprayed it OD Green and FDE with KG Gunkote added OD green canvas micarta scales and had a custom kydex sheath made for it that holds a firesteel and sharpening stone
I bet it looks nice, the shape of the blade and handle is really pleasing. I have a couple of these knives. The blue gray coating is a bit eh.
Some may say that the airgun test is not realistic. I think it's good simply because some knives CAN pass, while others don't. It's a realistic test of a level of toughness found in REALLY GOOD KNIVES. That's a useful parameter to be able to measure.
Well, I'd say it's highly random is what it is... I've seen knives pass that were shot only close or closer to the spine.
When you shoot it close to the cutting edge, though, I imagine all it needs is a maybe a tiny chip or crack before being shot and it can lead to catastrophic failure.
I don't mind the test itself, but it would be cool if it was a lot more consistent than what I've seen. Just move closer to the knife is what I'd suggest. Good air rifles are extremely precise, but at range there will always be deviations, and they might not be the best shots in the world either.
Watch Joex dude
@@brei2670 I agree that shots very near the edge aren't a fair comparison to shots nearer the spine. Good point. We know their protocol varies because sometimes they've hit the handle, LOL.
Shorter knives will have more durability as they will flex less under the same pressure.
Maybe be the test shows what would happen if you dropped it on rocks from a height? Cold Steel's video showed it good at flexing, so this was surprising
We can never be angry at such cool guys
This is the only channel that makes me smile and laugh.
Another great video!
The lads are back on form lol ! You pair of destructive little monsters hahaha if you’re going to do it then you gotta give it the gun test and oh brother this one was no disappointment. Excellent work lads the toughest testing dudes on this TH-cam you can get. Have a beautiful day lads stay safe and healthy both😘👍
LOVE my Survivalist Bowie... Great video too!!!
Always look forward to your videos
I love this knife. I’ve had it for almost a year now and I’ve had some fun with it. My boss and coworker got super jelly when they saw me bust a couple skids apart with it.
This is a fantastic review video.
Idk why you’re comparing it to the usmc though. Their construction is completely different… this is just one big piece of metal.
I’ve been wanting this knife for so long! But I needed you guys to show me the way….
And are you getting it now!
Good test. Last test was surprising.
A very enjoyable episode! Looks like a cool knife
Thanks mate!
Great test! Thank you for testing an affordable knife!
I learn, I laugh and throughly enjoy your videos guys! Keep up the awesome work. For a possible knife to test, how a about the Ontario RAT-7.
Cool video thanks.
This is a beast of a knife it is strong as hell bro
Ive got one and it works a treat
The firs three minutes of this were hilarious. Great video
Im going to buy it it passed the test of you ask me 🤷🏻♂️💯
Well done, my dudes!
Thanks again DBK !
Great video this week. I’d like to see an updated Chris Reeve Pacific video. They come in 4V now instead of s35vn.
Im not sure how many of us who would buy knives like this would, in a survival situation, be needing install an piece of pipe on our blades to pry on something, or would want to. Good destructive review on the Cold Steel. I’d say they’re worth considering. A good real world consideration is how easy the thing is to sharpen with just a stone or diamond stick out in the field.
its like i never knew this knife was for me it is so perfect beast knife and cold steel drop forge
I really hope you guys will test a Dawson Knives fixed blade. Love your channel 🤘🤘
You guys are great!!
Okay this is my personal favorite to take camping for weight and functionality, and I haven’t even started the video yet so y’all better love the drop forged survivalist as much as me
I do, because it's a beast and it doesn't get dull and it's effective for defense where bushcraft knives aren't.
Awesome Knife
You guys a Fuggin Brilliant!!! ✌️
Awesome video, as always! I'd have no problem paying $100 for this knife. A knife I'd like to see you guys beat up is the Buck GCK. I understand it's not a bushcraft knife, but I'd love to see how it holds up to your tests.
please test the Condor SBK !
love your content gentlemen keep it coming :)
Keep up the amazing review 's guys. Great stuff.👍👍⚓⚓🇺🇲🇺🇲
You should test something old. Like a puma white hunter. Great video as per usual. Have fun guys and thanks
I love all videos. I told my wife I watch your videos before I buy a knife
Great video
Great video as usual! Please consider reviewing an LT Wright GNS in 3v.
Love all your videos guys great job always good entertainment. Would be cool to see you guys test a Rmj Tactical Shrike Tomahawk.
Thanks for making laugh so hard I cried!😂😂😂
Great video, I'm glad you shot it, a little brittle...
Would still like to see the ONK 3S USMC Bayonet. What "CURRENTLY" used and needs fully tested!!!
Love your channel and new fan.
Please do some testing on Chris Reeves knives, Demko AD 20 Titanium, Hinderer Knives, and overbuilt frame locks and see if they hold.
Thanks and keep up the nice work.
Wow guys that knife kicked your asses. 🙂. Let's take it to it's limit!!!!💪. Thanks guys.
Would love to see you guys try out a Winkler knife! Any of the models will do but the field knife would be awesome to watch.
Lekker bezig kerels...keep it up
Thank you for the job you doing.
Next knife - Bark River Matterhorn . Something not like typical bushcraft, but very nice all around BR knife and it is CPM45VN never seen this steel here.
Wow you really slammed it like djokovic and I gatta say I like ya so damn much for it. You can tell this isn’t a fake smile, I’ve been watching through the horrific and the terrific and I’m glad there’s more entertainment coming for this weekend alligator. I’m sure it nice to get validation to get the blue blood pumping.
I have the drop forged hunter . I open aluminum cans with it. I haven't had to resharpen it yet and I have had it for over a year.
It would be interesting if you guys did the same shooting test on other drop forged knives.
I can’t think of many, honestly.
They no longer make it, but Spyderco’s Serrata was drop forged 440c.
That knife was quite thick (possibly to account for drop forging process and steel structure ?), but I think the main purpose of using that process with 440c is that it makes for very high edge aggression which means the knife will have a “working edge” life that is relatively long due to the aggression.
There might be a new version of that design in the works, but no official details, just some comments from the maker/Spyderco.
I have one and its a hell of a knife
The g.i. tanto knife is a beast aswell. 💪
woof, that was hard to watch it break. Do brush wolf from tops! good looking and from tops!
Great video.
YESSS Been waiting on you bastards to do one of the drop forged CS knives! Bloody brilliant as always
Thanks!
I throw mine all the time, its a very fun big thrower
I bought this same knife from Amazon two weeks ago, and I was waiting for you DBK guys to review it! $70 is what I paid and I wanted something bigger than the mora garberg because I already have a Kansbol.
Check out Bps knives.
@@thomaspotter7765 um, NO! Bps knives are garbage
@@escapetherace1943no there not! How are they garbage?
@@DrBalsich-sf4kd poor grind, low quality steel (cheaper than most bottom chinese steels), soft + uneven heat treat, poor finishing on materials like handle/sheath
a knife is a knife though so they will still perform fine for most tasks, but a morakniv is better in every conceivable way and moraknivs are cheaply stamped blades
New to channel
Good content
Bravo gentleman
Excellent video guys. Would love to see you test the condor bushlore and the condor wayfinder as I'm unsure which to get. I'll probably get both if they get your seal of approval 😂
Can’t go wrong w the price. 💪
Absolute Legends..........
I do like cold steel stuff 😊
Great review as always!
Speaking of the Jäkääri puukko, I would love to see a review of the M95 or M07 Sissipuuko that the Jäkääri is based on (same manufacturer but a different brand). I have both of them and I love them but I can´t really figure out which one I love the most. I use the Jääkäri more for bushcraft but I tend to bring the M95 on longer hikes cause it has a coating and it´s a little more rust proof.
Anyway, thanks for the video and greetings from Sweden :)
MSK1 survival knife 🎉. You guys rule 100%
If you can get hold of it, would be great to see you guys put a Boker Apporo through it's paces.
I love this channel
I've seen knives go much further than 35deg bends. Mostly customs and go back to straight. Ive seen many budget knives go past 35deg too but not back to straight as often. JoeX has a lot of bend testing too.
bend isn't as relevant or necessary in a knife compared to a machete or sword. Yes, this knife would be more durable if it was made with spring steel, but there's zero point.
The most fragile part of this knife is the tip, which tapers down very, very small
but the steel it is made of is incredible for holding an edge. I abused it and cut several boxes of kindling with it batoning just to test it, and there is so little edge damage it's amazing.
My morakniv garberg showed more damage and I split less than 1/20th the amount of wood and didn't abuse it through thick logs like I did with the cold steel, either.
Joe-X's review said the handle of this is skeletanized, but it actually ISNT, when he shot the pistol through it it broke out the inside bit, where it does get very thin (that's for better blade balance) but it's actually not skeletonized at all.
This knife has incredible hand feel and durability as long as you aren't throwing it and wasting it's tip into logs. It's one of the best knives I've ever held or seen.
I keep a small 1950’s crowbar in my pack ($5 garage sale find). Since I live in a suburban/urban environment with lots of doors, it’s worth it’s weight.
@@escapetherace1943 OMG this discussion again!!
@@rebelyell2741 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great video guys. I really like that knife. How about making a video of a Tuatahi Work Axe to change things up. Those axes look so bad ass. I haven't seen a good test of that on TH-cam. I think it would make a great video.
i got it and dont regret. it's sharp, heavy af, perfectly balanced and worth every cent
I might buy a 2nd, because they're so inexpensive.
Heavy? It’s regular
@@demo2952 it's not very heavy for a survival knife. It also tapers towards the top of the blade. I'm not sure of the actual weight, but it's not even half as heavy as an Ontario SP10 Marine Raider Bowie.
@@DDDYLN I have a 28 oz khukri from Himalayan Imports lol
@@demo2952 well, the Cold Steel Drop Forged Survivalist is 18.3 oz. The Ontario SP10 Marine Raider Bowie is 24.40 oz. In a survival situation, I'd much prefer to have the 1075HC Ontario SP10 with me. It's practically indestructible.
Would love to see you guys test the Reiff F6!!
I would love to see you guys test the bark river edwin forest bowie! Thanks!
It’s hard to get bark river knives nowadays for us. Also we have sent two knives back one year ago and still haven’t received them back…
Wanna see the Modern Bowie in a camping situation. You guys should go total Bushcraft Boys and do a camping trip each with a big knife and small knife. Cook camp and have fun!
Great video again Bushcraft boys.
F1 in VGWolf steel id like to see a comparisson video
Great videos, guys! I recently found your channel and I am loving your style! I'm wondering if you would review the Ka-bar Jarosz Turok knife? It's "officially" a tactical blade but many people, including myself have found it to be a great camp/survival knife. I'd LOVE to see what you guys think of it compared to the bk2! Really unique design.
I'm sure it would make for a great video!
The Cold Steel bend test was of the older “gold” drop forged hunter, but yeah, close enough. Only the handle is different. All in all, a good knife.
great content again guys…when are you gonna test a knife that you don’t break?
Great video as usual! Could you guys consider to test and review one of this knife? Bark River Cub, Helle Temagami, Helle Utvaer?
Thanks!
The esee jungalist would be a great one see you test. I've put one through some of my personal usages in the field but not to any extreme like you do. I'd enjoy watching you test that one!
Junglas 2 is a better all round knife because it's smaller.
@@bobjohnson1633 I get that and it's the size of the jungalist that I needed for what I do overall. I have smaller ones for finer detail work. I do appreciate your opinion because that IS one of the things I considered.
APOC Wayward Camper would be a good knife in the larger survival (and general purpose) knife category to test. Designed by sword maker Angus Trim, made from 9260 steel.
I would like you to test a Nordsmith Canteen knife. Another great video.
I still like it .
Loving the videos. How about testing out the GB2 Jaeger Puukko by 3 Dog Knives?
I'd love to see you review anything from Fiddleback Forge
Can you do a deep dive into grinds? A discussion on what's best?
