It would be hard to choose from all the knives you have tested. Buying one of each would cost a small fortune. However, the ones you have kept as collection pieces are favorites for more reasons than being the best. I would buy the same ones without hesitation from your recommendations. Most of the knives I have are older ones because of being older. I have mostly Cold Steel heavy-duty knives. Cold Steel did similar testing of their knives from the start. I have a VCR tape made before I ever owned or needed a computer or cellphone. Watching your video testing is great entertainment and fun to see. I have learned more than I knew before from your videos. You show a higher level of extreme testing of knives have taken it to a higher level than done before. I believe knife makers have learned as much from your video testing as your subscribers have. You may not get credit from any but be certain you deserve it. It would be interesting to hear your opinion on folding knives as well. There are few to none that come close to fixed blade performance. Looking forward to seeing what comes in 2023. Happy New Year to you.🍻🎊✨⚔
wow, thanks a lot Gizmo for the comment, i will make a top 20 folders video soon!!! cheers my friend! but i think we all know what brand most of the blades will be....
Well they used to... they've been bought out and who knows what the future will hold. They kept Lynn Thompson at least through last year, but they do seem to have done a bit downhill and are moving to the mass market chinamart market.
I hope to one day be buying a knife designed by YOU. At this point, you know what blade style and steel types hold up the best. I think a Joe X designed knife would be excellent.
This is the only knife video on youtube that is worth watching, it has the evidence of what is an actual good knife. I wish this video was around 10 years ago. i would have saved 1000s of $$$$..
Thank you so much my man. Didn't expect you to send away a whole video for my inquiry. A very great & caring youtuber we have here people! May god bless you always for your great work & sacrifice. Long live Sir Joe X 💪
Thanks for this great video Joe. I have always valued durability in my knives. But your unique testing and cinematography have given me a new perspective. I bought an APO 1S before I started watching your tests and I'm pleased to see how highly you value it. I had my eye on the Gerber Strongarm and I finally bought one after seeing how well it did in your tests.
Gotta say I’m very impressed with survival Lilly’s knives. I’m a big fan of Ontario but I love coldsteel folders. Great set of knives. I love how you’ve proven just because something is expensive doesn’t mean it’s the best. Hope you got everything straight hate to lose ya after all the work you’ve done. Your real making a difference I’ve seen your name pop up in many comments even on a few Amazon reviews. That’s pretty impressive in my opinion. Have a good one bro.
hey my friend from anohter mother and father !!! thanks a lot for the comment!!!! and the info, cool that i got mentioned, really freaking cool!!!!! i think not everybody can buy a expensive knife, so i love to show that cheap will do and will perform even better in my Zombie-Apo......, i think everything will be allright!!!! i will make a folder best of soon!!! in the next days!!!
@@joex i was watching a video from a guy about the Tops Knives with the storm vector. He was super happy and hade nothing but praise. But the comments hade many guys mentioning your test and how the tip broke when you sneezed at it. You’re video’s are really helpful to overcome the more expensive craze.
Of course you choose better than us and I'm glad that your choices are not about price but about durability. Thanks for this top, great suggestions 👍👏👍
All the effort you put in what you are doing duly appreciated! Couple of reminders/remarks: a. Bahco 2449 HD Wrecking Knife? It is cheap and indestructible - the manufacturer’s own schematics at the back of its box specifically show its spine can be beaten with a common metallic hammer and there are videos on TH-cam doing exactly this, without the knife showing any major damage! Made of C100 carbon steel [very similar to 1095]. b. SOG SEAL Pup & Team? c. “Jääkäripuukko” [Commando Knife - remember J. P. Peltonen’s Sissipuukko: Guerilla Knife or SpecOps (Unorthodox Warfare) Operative Knife] is pronounced like your German “Jäger” [= Hunter, hence Special Forces Operative - Commando or Raider], not like “Jackal” - it would be good to hear it correctly for once, especially from a European AND German speaker - I am sick of listening to the “Americans” butchering it!
Glad you had at least 1 Cold Steel in there. My favorite is my Recon Tanto, I would trust it with my life. It has lasted me a long time as a bush-beater knife and multi purpose tool
Congrats Survival Lilly. 👍 It's nice to see Esee in up there too. So many good blades, and Aus-8 is sweet as well. Thanks JoeX for all you do and have a knife holiday season. 🔪👍🗡️
Canadian Prepper carries S. Lilly's APO 1 and is selling it in his shop.. and that guy has excess to very expensive gear... it is indeed a good survival knife.
Good call, I have 4 Survival Lilly knives now. Your top 2 and 2 others she offered last year. Really well made, from Lilly who is a person who understands what a survival knife has to be
Love your choices, good to see Survival Lilly at no. 1 and 2 which would be my choice as well. Since watching your videos, I no longer buy into the "Super Steel" myth. They all snap like pretzels but good old AUS 8, with a good heat treat will be there at the end of the day. Keep up the good work and all the best for you in the new year!
Hey man. I own the Terava Jakkaripuuko 110 for 9 years already. It is an excellent knife. It's tougher than shit, the 80crv2 steel takes a quick sharp edge and I like it better than 1095. Thanx for the video my Bladed Brother 👍 ⚔️ ✝️ 🇺🇲

Besides the below resume, I also have researches around one of the places where his body was supposedly thrown (published on my channel) and one of his other castles (that I won't publish).

Handles are easily reconfigured. Sanders and/or a Dremel tool are the way to go to reshape to your liking, or to add traction to a handle. Making it just right for the owner. ( Old school ways )
Apo 1s is quite simply a good knife. I don't care what anyone says. All the best for the New Year friends. Looking forward to more mayhem and destruction 🐝👊👍
@@joex Very tricky. But I'm on a good track of doing so. Late winter or early spring I'll send you one "till it breaks". :) Then I'll eat my words or celebrate. :D
@@Owieczkin Super steels are super cutters mostly. Majority of them are carbide monsters. In toughness they are not better. But in cutting, they rule. So making super steels with a high-mid toughness would make a breakthrough in knifemaking. Of course it ain't cheap. I'm at 95% of pinpointing the heat treatment to get there.
Ahhh, good choices my friend. And guess what? You came to the same conclusion as the US Navy Seals-- that AUS8 was the best all around hard use/stain resistant/easy to sharpen/tough survival knife steel. That's why they've been carrying the SOG Seal Team Elite 7" AUS8 Fixed Blade for decades. Survival Lily is a smart cookie. She quickly saw that an AUS8 SRK was bombproof and smartly copied and modified it. The Terava Puukkos are excellent, but they rust easy and don't have as many features as the APO-1.
thanks for the info, i heard that about the SOF that they use mostly AUS8, is a good steel, for survival knives, Puukos, the shit is that u have to buy an extra sheet, i dont care about rust!!! cheers my friend!!!
Hello my friend! 🔨 Geiler Kanal! Sauber wie Du den gehypten Stählen ihre Grenzen aufzeigst. Ich ahnte,dass mein SR 1 Lite sowie das 4Max Scout Panzer sind und du hast es bestätigt. Dir auch einen guten Rutsch. Grüße aus Deutschland und se Polski👌💪
Joe have you tested the Colonial Knives Defiant CE-400? I would love to see a test on it. I gave both my daughters one along with a Mora 2000. Colonial Knives has a video doing destructive testing on the Defiant but, it would be nice to see an independent review and testing on the Defiant.
I bought some knives on this list partly because of the tests here. No matter what others say, toughness is important unless you are just buying them to sit in the drawer.
As always a good and interesting video. I can understand the order of your ranking and I think it is good that you include the price as an important criterion. A good knife had not to be expansive. I hope you will soon bring ranking of your folders too, perhaps a bit longer. It is always interesting to hear your conclusions. It is not necessesary to hurry with your explanations.
thanks for the info, i am thinking to make it faster, because usually i dont want to hear all that blablabla myself, so i want to come quick to the point, but i will try to change a bit, folder vid, should be online today!!! cheers!!!!
JoeX I started watching your videos around 6 months ago. At first I was irritated at the abuse of knives (so I thought) afterwards I came to realize you were holding these knives to an extremely high standard. I’ve since stopped hating of knvies made out of Aus-8 Aus-10 and D2 knives. I also own the Glock knife 78 now as well! Of those different steels mentioned which is your preferred steel for longevity? I know you, “like Aus-8 steel.” But I’m just curious. Thanks friend and keep the videos coming! Love seeing these!
Some good knives in there mate Is the marine raider bowie the old 1095 or the new 1075? & have you tried the bahco wrecking knife & the hultafors ok4 I prefer the ok4 over the mora.
Great selection Joe. When you use your knives, you come to the same conclusions as yours or Noos4 a decade ago. Many knives are made to be sold. Fewer are also made to be used. And sadly, except for some really gifted craftsmen, masters in heat treating, the price they charge bore no relation to the real quality of the blade.
@JOE X love your channel I love Survival knives and one of the few people I think understands the difference between Survival knives are and what a Camp/Bushcraft knives are. The APO1S is a great Survival knife. Too many think of Survival like camping not needing flexibility and easy to sharpen in the field not breaking under pressure of occasional hard prying. They think from a pure Camping mentality. I love Super Steels but most are not anything I would want in a Survival knife. I prefer softer steel to hard brittle steel that is hard to sharpen in the field. Tools are purpose driven and most miss that mark not every knife should have the same qualities. The quality should fit the reason and purpose of the tool.
I like this list, it has a no BS feel to them. You don’t have to spend 200 euro on a fancy Fallkniven that will chip the second you hit a knot in the wood.
Well I cried (inside) when Joe destroyed the Fallkniven Scout in Elmax....cos I own one.... and I was betting on it beating the snot out of Joe....but it didnt .....but I still like it 🤣.

yes, and it will be like this, no matter whats coming!!!!!!
🤗🤗🤗 thanks I am really flattered 😇😊
cool, but it is what it is! my testing proved it! awesome blades, hard to destroy!!
hey james, not really!! i give bonuses to no one!!!
It’s a pretty good vindication of her choice of steel.
Oooh la la...love is in the air....🎶🎵....🥰
Yeah! Love of knives you can bet your very life on! =)
Given how you’ve beaten these knives to death, you have a better understanding than most. Your opinion is solid !
thanks a lot, i am insane but i think that works for me!!! haha!!! cheers!!!

Terava makes great products. Probably my favorite overall. ESEE is my favorite American brand knife. Basically a pry bar with an edge.

Thank you from france bro’
u are welcome!!! cheers!
Some good knives in there mate
Is the marine raider bowie the old 1095 or the new 1075?
& have you tried the bahco wrecking knife & the hultafors ok4 I prefer the ok4 over the mora.
marine raide, it must be the new one, but i am not sure what the company sent me!!! the other blades, i need to take a look!!!
Great selection Joe.
When you use your knives, you come to the same conclusions as yours or Noos4 a decade ago. Many knives are made to be sold. Fewer are also made to be used.
And sadly, except for some really gifted craftsmen, masters in heat treating, the price they charge bore no relation to the real quality of the blade.
yes, AMEN to that!!!!

@JOE X love your channel I love Survival knives and one of the few people I think understands the difference between Survival knives are and what a Camp/Bushcraft knives are. The APO1S is a great Survival knife. Too many think of Survival like camping not needing flexibility and easy to sharpen in the field not breaking under pressure of occasional hard prying. They think from a pure Camping mentality. I love Super Steels but most are not anything I would want in a Survival knife. I prefer softer steel to hard brittle steel that is hard to sharpen in the field. Tools are purpose driven and most miss that mark not every knife should have the same qualities. The quality should fit the reason and purpose of the tool.
@@NDSTRUCTIBLE1 i totally agree my friend!!!! we get it!!!!!
I like this list, it has a no BS feel to them.
You don’t have to spend 200 euro on a fancy Fallkniven that will chip the second you hit a knot in the wood.
AMEN brother!
Well I cried (inside) when Joe destroyed the Fallkniven Scout in Elmax....cos I own one.... and I was betting on it beating the snot out of Joe....but it didnt .....but I still like it 🤣.
@@yankee23a it is a cool blade for sure!!!
Thanks for Your Working in progress,..👍😸😘🌳🌲👊😎
u are welcome chica!!!
