One tough blade. You can hear the wood cracking as you're trying to break the tip off. Oh well you broke it, again,hahaha. Great video. Take Care and Stay Safe.
A lot of knife testers do the same tests of knives. And for most knife tasks, they usually provide useful info. One quality which JoeX, almost uniquely, focuses on is a knife's tolerance for impact stress. I.e., whacking a stone, car body steel, and an iron/steel post. What those tests reveal is not a characteristic which is useful to most knife users. But it IS information which could be useful for evaluating the differences in steels and the way they are made. And that info could be useful in what it tells us about the connection between impact stress tolerance and the other performance characteristics revealed by Joe's knife torture processes. So whack on Joe. It makes you somewhat unique. And uniqueness is one important reason why you've become popular.
Great chopper I wouldn't mind getting stuck in the bush with that one. Great review , Thats the funnest episode I ever seen, thanks Joe X your the best. 💗
They almost got away with that thickness:)) And now the rivers of tears flow again 😂 I feel like there is no real reason to buy a knife over 100 $. Cheaper ones are tougher. Thank's for saving us the beer money, my friend ❤❤❤
That was 3 days chopping that log in half i believe. Talk about dedication to the task at hand. A sheer challenge of mind just sticking to a questionable goal Joe. Points for effort. 👌🏆🏆🏆
You have a better chance to find the Loch Ness Monster, than a decent Tops knife. With the money spent, you could have tested the Cold Steel Trailmaster 3V or the Recon Scout.
The saw on the spine is a weakpoint (Sollbruchstelle) combined with the dual heat treatment. The blade showed its love to El Bricko and reveald its grain struckture ;-) 👍👍
Ciao Joe! Grazie del video, aspettavo da tanto di vedere il test di questo coltello. Però io vorrei essere onesto: il coltello ha resistito davvero tantissimo, è stato abusato per oltre 20 minuti su 37 e finche non ha incontrato il cemento, colpendolo di dorso (tra doppia tempra e sega dorsale ovviamente quello era il punto debole) non ha fatto una piega. Io ce l'ho gia, ma devo dire che dopo il tuo video io l'avrei comprato lo stesso, non penso che in questa prova TOPS abbia fatto una brutta figura. L'unica cosa che non sopporto di questi coltelli è il prezzo altissimo che non è giustificabile, e la forma del manico è molto scomoda per la mano e distruttiva per i guanti, troppi spigoli, troppi jimping, spessore esagerato. Io lo utilizzo da anni ma ho coltelli più comodi.
Già, sto cercando un buon coltellone da campo ed anche se il costo è eccessivo pensavo di prenderlo, ma se il manico non è comodo non ha molto senso, dato che devo utilizzarlo. Peccato la forma della lama invece mi piace molto. Perché non migliorano i loro coltelli? No li testano? Non sanno che il loro manico è da migliorare?.
I can't understand why most of tops knives have to have their handles slanted and I have the 107 and I love the blade shape but I hate the handle and I would like to see them make a handle more like an ontario or the even better the crocodile dundee knife
Damn, JoeX, you're like a cat! You were very quick to get the knife to the other hand when the tree broke, lest the the tree hit you and knock the knife out of your hand and into your face or something! Very quick.
Top tier price .. and eventually a Top tear blade .. yup, this vid was Tops !! Be careful of them killer trees in that weird forrest my friend ! Bratwurst und POMFRIIITAAAAAA !!
Oh man Joe, ich war jetzt echt länger Tops Fan. Diese Meinung hab ich auch in einigen Kommentaren unter deinen Videos vertreten. Was soll ich sagen, es zerschmettert mich das zu sehen. Letztendlich hab ich meine TOPS Messer verkauft und mir n einfaches Mora garberg gekauft. Es tut das gleiche nur besser. PS danke für deine Tests
it's sad but i made a little bet with myself and skipped ahead to my buddy bRiCkO turning up. I bet 5 saw side whacks. I am pleased and saddened i was both right and over estimated the quality on this one. I owe myself a fiver.
Hmm...... At first I thought this was a solid knife. But then it broke like any other Tops knife. It seems, they just CAN'T build a robust knife... 😂 And, YES I agree with you Joe, the grain structure seems like CRAP ! 😁 CHEERS JOE 👍 👍 👍
I’ve Bent Tops Knives before doing stupid shit I bent the Armageddon at almost a 90 degree angle Never had a Tops break on me I’ve never had an Esee Break on me But you will still see pictures or videos of them chipping and/or breaking.
"Typical sh!t handle from Tops". Sums it up haha. Ridges and protrusions everywhere. Very thick edges and tip, too thick in my opinion. No wonder it hardly bent. The breaking wasn't surprising. Saw backs make the blade break easier, we can see this with the Glock FM81 vs the FM78.
Vero, il manico è molto scomodo e quella forma di manico non ha senso per quella lama. Poi sono d'accordo che la sega dorsale (inutile) sia la più probabile causa della rottura, per fortuna ne fanno un modello uguale ma senza sega. Però in generale il coltello ha resistito moltissimo.
@@_no_name_available It's a strong knife for sure. This is true. Without sawback is better, very true. Tops should focus more on handle comfort instead of gimmick looks , by putting ridges everywhere that have no function except discomfort. For sawing.. Everyone just get a folding saw. There are plenty out there. Silky is very good, Bahco also. Etc.
I love the blue protections that are put on the seats of the Ferrari... you never know, the shards of glass could damage the fabric.
exactly, i was waiting for that comment!!!!!!
He's going to run out of VWs one day and then what - BMWs?
Hands down, Tops has the best whistle that comes with knives with handels that are lots of pain in the arses.
for sure best whistle of the world!
Hahahaha correct!

Heres a design tip for tops: the blade is supposed to be the hurty bit, not the handle.

Tops handle is mostly BS!
Great and , most importantly, entertaining presentation. Another overpriced 1095 bites the dust.
big time adios!
Please JOE test more daggers like cold steel counter tac or sog pentagon
i think about it!
I thought this knife would survive better like the long tanto version you tested. Perhaps the sawback weakened the spine?
could be! i am not impressed with those blades!
Joe,
Glad you are back. Great video. What is the toughest Tops blade that you have tested? I guess the tracker knife perhaps?
yes the Tom Brown!
Damn, JoeX, you're like a cat! You were very quick to get the knife to the other hand when the tree broke, lest the the tree hit you and knock the knife out of your hand and into your face or something! Very quick.
thanks a lot my friend!!!
Here lies the bones of JoeX, he spend his life besting blade’s in eXcess. Then suddenly he fell dead, after a tree smacked him in the head...lol
Tops most reliable product is the free whistle.
hell yeah, so nice whistle!!!! haha!
Sadly, this seems to be a fact

for that it is awesome for sure!

But you will still see pictures or videos of them chipping and/or breaking.
mine break so easy!°
Again, it needs to be welded. 😏
true!
What the hell is pomfrita ?
u should know that!! it means Marlboro!!!!!
I learned, buy a belt grinder to fix the grip before buying a tops knife.
ok, thats a good idea!
weakest link is the saw grind being wrong/overheating. if i ever bought this id grind that handle crap off.
ok cool!
