Recently got this exact knife. Chris Reeve 7" Green Beret, Flat Dark Earth, Non-Serrated, S35VN steel. It's a beautiful knife, especially in that color. The micarta grip is very comfortable, and the full tang blade ends in a strike point which doubles as the lanyard hole.
It's an easy blade to choke up for more precise work, since the top guard isn't as long, and there's a good choil on it. It's more of a combat knife of course, but is also very suitable for bushcrafting and batonning.
Yeah, never slam the cylinder shut on a Chris Reeve fixed-blade knife. I have a large Chris Reeve Inkosi that I got new a couple years ago, and I enjoy it very much. Do you know what this video makes me think of, though? My 12 inch Tramontina. I think it was $9 including sheath. I sharpened it up, custom-shaped the wood grip, and polished it a little. If I go out in the wilderness and expect to do some serious work with my knife, which do I take with me? Well, my Emerson a100. ;-)
Lemme know if you post it up anywhere; would love to see it.
Hi there. The steel is actually cpm s35vn. A steel developed by crucible steels and Chris reeve himself and it was developed specifically to be a blade steel.
Thanks for the information, did not know that. :)
@@TheGeekyNerd no problem you're very welcome. I have the same knife but with the black pvd coating. I also have a 5.5"' version in the same flat dark earth finish as yours. The reason I bought the 5.5"' is because they have now been discontinued and no doubt the price will increase over time. I believe I got the last new one ever available in the uk from the only official Chris reeve supplier in the uk (Framar knives). So I was really happy about that. The fit and finish on chris reeve knives is simply impeccable. Ive heard all kinds of things about other brands having amazing fit n finish like bark river and TRC and I've had them all and none are equal to Chris reeve. The best of the rest are TRC. Bark river... well all I can say is if they were once really good they no longer are. I recently got a bravo 1 and it had several blemishes. Some really bad. The grind on the tip was particularly awful. On one side it looked like it had been filed flat. Yeah we might pay more for chris reeve products but at least you wont be let down on that score. I've had three of his knives now and have never found the smallest issue on any of them. Real heirloom quality.
No longer given upon graduation from the Q Course. You have to buy it. AKA: The Yarborough Knife serial numbered. 😉🇺🇸
The Real version is called a Yarborough..issued only to tier1 or high level special forces.2,4000$ ea.
That is a great knife. Good review. I will be searching on the secondary market for one.
The scales aren't g10 either they're canvas micarta
Thanks for the clarification, sure I said Micarta...probably going to do a reupload as this was one of my first videos.
@@TheGeekyNerd yeah we all make oversights. Cest la vie
@@TheGeekyNerdno, you definitely said G10.
Calling things nice, ain't a review. Do your research, find out the specs etc.
Thanks for the suggestion, was one of the first videos made, let me know if some of the newer content is improved.
@@TheGeekyNerd nice video bro I own a ton of Chris reeve striders hinders a few customs among other high end knives and this knife is incredible!
Thanks! Also couldn't agree more.
NICE thing that yours CRK is flat - dark earth , non - serrated - it looks much better than black version...Mine CRK is flat - dark earth , non - serrated PACIFIC - and DAMN , its one SEXY piece of steel + micarta...VERY nice video !!!...
Thank you sir, much appreciated. Enjoy mine as well since this color combo seems hard to find.
Whats the blade length ?
7 inches...perfect length lol
@@TheGeekyNerd lol thanks
@@TheGeekyNerd i blame you because i bought pacific serrated 5.5 , a 7 inch pacific ( non serrated ) last but not least 7 inch green beret fde
Why always the guy with the most expensive knives, most of the time, knows nothing (or little at best) about knives?
One of my earlier videos and will be working on a redo with a bit more back information that I just didnt get across on film correctly.
Look up dbk they do a real review of the knife and the soft steel... buying a name
Micarta scales
Too many “ahs” and “ums” when you speak. Consider taking a public speaking course like Toastmasters.
999 subs
Entering the big leagues now lol.
Little by little
looks OK
Terrible review. Practice.
Thanks...I tried. Was one of the first when I was just feeling TH-cam out. Check out the other vids on the channel if you like to see if they are to your liking/standards.
Plenty of knives like this on the market. Over priced!
S35v full tang blades aren’t common at all. It is overpriced like every other brands tho
For the history and the build quality I would say just right if you can afford it.
Alternative?
@@coreykolenosky5974 Kabar usmc or ESEE 6 in 1095, fallkniven S1 or A1 for the bushcraft in VG-10. As far as i know this is the only one in S35V full tang. I would start with and ESEE 6 but if you can save a bit ( 3 times the price is expensive ) i would definitely buy this one.
I doubt there are many with the same level of fit n finish. Chris reeve knives are absolutely perfect in every way. The highest quality control there is. They're collectors items not so much users. Obviously a user isnt gonna spend £300 on a knife that he beats on. These are for ppl who just appreciate a very nicely made product. No they aren't very practical but that's not the point
