Donnie, Nice job on this video. Just wanted to let you know about some improvements I made on mine. When I got it, the scales were loose. I took them off before retightening just to look things over and noticed that the draw screw on the end was also loose. Not that big of deal. You could just retighten everything and should be good to go. However, I was at my shop and decided to, in addition to retightening that draw screw, to tack weld the screw as well as add a couple of tack welds between the tang and the inside of the outer frame. (And, for what it's worth, the Stallone endorsed Heartstopper with the tan scales also has 2 tack welds along the tang) Now I feel this knife is practically bulletproof for what I am going to use it for. If someone wasn't comfortable welding it, I think a little Locktite on the threads of the draw screw and maybe some JB Weld along the outer edge of the tang would do wonders in keeping anything from moving. Just thought I would pass this along.
Let me clear up some confusion about certain comments i have read on here saying these knives Donnie has reviewed are not the genuine replica knives from the Last Blood movie. A few seem to think that the United Cutlery Version Endorsed By Sylvester Stallone to be released in Janurary 2021 is the Genuine replica. WRONG.. it means nothing that our boy Sly has endorsed this knife. HCG: Hollywood Collectables Group/Master Cutlery are the licensed holders of the Rambo Name. They are the OFFICIAL producers of Replica Rambo Knives. United Cutlery lost the naming rights when they went bankrupt 15 odd years ago. Let me take a quote from the HCG Website: (Rambo knives manufactured and distributed by Hollywood Collectibles Group are Officially Licensed. Part of our Rambo knives Masterpiece Collection™. Heartstopper is a Registered Trademark. The Heartstopper Knife that will sold under the United Cutlery name in Jan 2021 will be similar to the Hibben III & Hibben IV also sold by United Cutlery where they can not use the Rambo Name. Unless the Hollywood Collectables group have given permission to United Cutlery ( which i highly doubt) these will be branded differently both on knife and box. The HCG Rambo Bowie & Heartstopper are the Official (Remember that word kids OFFICIAL) real deal replicas Donnie has reviewed and will be the ones worth the money if Humanity hasn't ended the world in 5 10 50 years time. My advice if you are a collector is purchase the HCG Rambo Last Blood: Bowie & Heartstopper Limited Edition Numbered Knives stick them in a cabinet on display away from sunlight, keep them in tip top condition. (Unless You are Donnie B All Day cause this man is allowed to do what the Fuck he wants ;) If you want a replica to use then the United Cutlery Heartstopper by Sylvester Stallone is the knife for you . Like The Hibben III & IV it will come with a certificate of authenticity but will not be numbered nor will it be limited piece. As long as there is demand for the United Cutlery Heartstopper knife they will churn them out. You're Welcome!
...personally highly prefer to have a 1:1 screen accurate (including genuine micarta scales...and not toys-r-us green plastic ones) that have whatever the model name on it rather than ...a quickly made toys that look "ok" by the look of it on the eyes of misinformed people that hold their "Niolox" toys. I dont know if you ever realized that since that Gil Hibben created the John Rambo (IV) machete and that he have nothing to do with MC or HCG ...then ONLY the United Cutlery have the 1:1 dimensions vs the genuine screen accurate used one ? No I HIGHLY doubt you ever understood this since you are what you are. Try to re-sale the MC or any other versions than the UC ...good luck LOL you're Welcome!
@@markhamilton3215 you are one of the biggest tools I've come across in my life. You fail to understand what Official means. United Cutlery have nothing to do with the current lot of Rambo Knives. Blade steel, accuracy, Knife designer mean nothing. Tattoo the word official on your forehead so when you look in the mirror one day the penny will drop.
Prime is 100% correct and when Mark attempted to make a point, he failed. The UC Hibben III is smaller than the movie knife. They do not make them 1:1. Study up.
@@DonnieBAllDay What Mark fails to understand is the word official. He threw around a whole bunch of facts and figures trying to sound intelligent. As a collector myself of various collectables when you resell something to get buyers interested it must be the official replica no matter what item we are talikng bout. Dinky toys is s good example. Plenty of model car Dinky knock offs. Another perfect example is the 3 United Cutlery Rambo Knives that came out in the 1980's from Carolco. None of those knives were close to the original knives used by Stallone in the movies, heck the First Blood survival knife only had 12 saw teeth and no wetstone pouch on the sheath but they were OFFICIAL & bring in decent money compared to what they were sold for back then. There were many more screen accurate knock offs made in the 1980s im sure but they weren't Official. The Last Blood Knives you reviewed in this clip are part of HCG Masterpiece Collection line. Money in the eyes of collectors. Official replicas. Someone please find the word official in a dictionary, place a bookmark on the page and post it to Mark. It's simple maths. Once again Dbad awesome review.
When you explained it in you previous vids I was thinkn it was maybe a cheaper way to build the knife but I think its just the opposite. So glad you did this video. Thanx brother!
Hey Donnie that does look like a well built piece and a pretty cool tang concept. The webbing on the inside of the handle screams injection molded tho! G10 is not an injection molded material. Ain't saying it ain't (g10) but really have doubts. Either one should work just fine for a handle material, just saying! Thanks for the full reviews!
Hi guys . Can I add my 2 cents ??? Cause that’s about how much they spent on the Handle materials Hahahaha . This is ( IMO ) the knife you love to hate . It’s still seems like a nice blade and all and it will soon be a part of my Rambo collection, but I still gotta question that steel . Hey ... if I mass produced a blade using S35VN ( or similar) , I would definitely include that in the specs - especially from Blade HQ ( they always include the specs - why they didn’t certainly bothers me ). I’m just wondering- there are a few versions of this out there . Could this be the one that features that awesome steel ????!! Stay tuned . And hey -- Stay safe as Always!🤠
@@tubes5150 2 cents goes a long way these days!! Haha! After some research, its true, the steel is real. They use a steel where the cheapest knife found in it was a 2.5" blade for $200. Its the real deal and speaking of real deal, Jed!!!!! Its out for delivery today!!
Donnie B All Day Oh I’m hoping you are right kind sir . The buttheads at Blade HQ REALLY should of included that in the specs . Why wouldn’t they ????? Can’t wait to see the other Jed masterpiece.
@@chuckkuester6056 mark is a troll. Hes whining like a little girl because he only thinks he's smart. The knife steel is what I first reported then followed up on. He must've missed that and now just spews ignorance. He also doesn't know what licensed is. And I guess taking something apart to show how its built isn't informative. Hes a tool.
I don’t mind having a stick tang for light use knives, but when it comes to a full tang, I’d rather it be exposed top and bottom to fill the width of the grip. I also rather the pommel not be a separate piece from the tang, but it’s not a deal breaker for me. I can still respect the artistry behind these knives.
That was cool and informative. When I seen the handles off. I was like, "Oh no! What happened?" To hear the info on the steel for it. Was really cool too. Im so glad they used a killer steel for them. Unlike the others. Much thanks to Steel Lovingyou. Will be doing a vid tomorrow. So, I hope you have your notifications on.
@Paul Myers....are you thinking that a china manufacture would use high end steel (niolox) for a knife they put 5cents injected molded plastic scale and advertise them as "G10" ? somes guys already analyzed the steel of the last blood china replica knives and the results are all telling the same thing : Cheap China 420J Steel...................!!!
Hi guys. Donnie, great reviews. I got a question: are you sure its niolox? Im asking because I had that doubt and I wrote to HCG and they answered it is 440... So now I'm confused. I know the Dietmat Pohl edition are niolox because they were manufactured by Lion Steel, but these ones now I'm not so sure...
@@manuelangelmaldonadorios1519 It says so in the manufacture description so I have to go with them. It explains the $250 price tag they started with and the fact the edge is holding up insanely well!
@@manuelangelmaldonadorios1519 I actually corrected a guy who sells them yet knew nothing about them. But I'll find out whenever I do need to sharpen it.
The current website listing says the blade steel is 7cr17, which has lower carbon than 8cr13 (but more chromium, which means more rust resistance). Not a good steel for $200. It looks like the current blades on the site are different than the original release. The new handle scales for the 7cr edition are micarta
i've made a couple knives with frame rat tail handles, great stuff but threads on the rat tail i'm not so sure about. All the knives i have with threaded rat tails have sheared. Same with frame threaded rat tails i've made. Anything under 5mm threads is pretty small for a knife, especially a chopper. Gotta say the rambo knives though are aweesome and this one is an excellent piece. Huge fan of frame rat tail bowies.
the good thing about this is that the threaded end has securing pressures, not just being pulled from one side. Also, its a designed fighting knife, not made for chopping. It just happens to do that really well. I have 4 hard use videos with this thing and I definitely had my doubts, but it keeps on hammering
@@DonnieBAllDay Yes that is true it is a fighting knife and not intended for chopping which makes a big difference here. I must have overlooked those securing pressures. Very interesting stuff. I hope more companies and people start making framed rat tails. Lots of potential.
People seem make their negative options on where a knife is made .The Microtech Socom Bravo is made by a company in China, and they have no problems with selling them, they a a super high quality knife.
What do you think of the Rambo mk8 Bowie knife off preppersUK? it has a partial tang but it's been spot welded in 8 different places, think it'll hold up alright?
Great Vid man. Got mine a week ago and had second questioned the G10 scales too but it is growing on me. I can take mountain lions bears now during deep wood hikes.
Get mine in the next 5 days Can't Wait knife is a Masterpiece!!!🌟 I think they did the 5000 as once Off As On SlyStalloneShop Stallone releases his Heartstopper knife go to his store they come out Jan 2021 they look Good!. I'll get one of each, after seeing this I can get another Heartstopper and am seriously thinking of buying it as an investment.

@@DonnieBAllDayG'day Donnie what do you use to oil the blade?? It's awesome to see someone using the knife Not hanging it on a wall, I'm using mine and personally think it could be a Army SAS issue to be used in the Field. I got a email from Dietmar pohl few days ago in response to buying a mk9 off him direct apparently November he said they'll release a certain quantity.
@@planetb2130 Since I don't use it for food prep I simply used Remington gun oil. I spray some on Robin let it sit in a sheaf. When it ends up drying off all I do is maintain a dry blade and I don't have any issues. Nice to know you are getting one from the maker. You will definitely feel a difference. I have a custom one and I did a redesign on 1 and I have to say that these knives are growing on me
Wow! For a movie knife that is constructed that way and made from a super steel that is one hell of a bargain that you got there brother on how the knife is constructed.. to me it makes epoxy and brass or steel rivets seem primitive. That is a knife you can carry into a conflict. Awesome review bro , stay safe and stay sharp.
Hearthstopper knife (MK-9) from original designer (Pohl Force) have Niolox steel, I’m not sure is it the same case with this knife. Someone in the comments claimed that he had been in contact with Hollywood collectibles, and they apparently said it was 440 steel. I would think, that manufacturer would really know these kind of things. So in this case it would be 440A steel. MK-9 is the real deal, but it cost 6 times more than this knife, of course it’s limited edition and all, so it’s more expensive. One thing is that why they would put cheap plastic handle to the knife with Niolox steel? Why to use pretty good steel, and then cheapest handle material there is? This just does not make any sense. Hollywood collectibles have the rights to do “official” Rambo knives. What I have seen with previous Rambo knifes, is that they ask pretty high prices from these, not so great knives. Note that this knife is not endorsed by Stallone (who is a long time knife collector) or designer Dietmar Pohl. Hollywood collectibles have rights for the name and that’s why they are doing these. I bet that soon there will be signature series etc available, but these have nothing to do with Stallone. Stallone will endorse heartstopper knife later on, but it will not be this one.
from what I can tell....I wouldn't be surprised if the Stallone versions that actually say Heartstopper on them are the same ones just with the heartstopper name on them....they're selling for about the same price
Tang construction seems to be from original MK-9 knife (almost exact copy). So this is how to "real heartstopper" was made. It's awesome that this was made the same way.
I just picked up one from Sylvester Stallones website. It's the United Cutlery says endorsed by him and it feels pretty solid. That one is 7Cr17 steel. Is that a pretty good hard tough steel? I've never heard of it.
Don't use that one. Its brittle. The UC versions are endorsed collector items but not real knives. The real Pohl stuff and the HCG versions are the only hard use versions of Pohl's designs
@@DonnieBAllDay Oh shoot. I just got the UC one from his site without really knowing on the holiday sale. I wish they'd make it with a top end steel and maybe put good black g10 grips, do away with the subhilt on that particular knife. It's a full tang I believe. Pohl made a good tactical black version of it in d2 but I missed it and it sold out. Idk if you can get the pohl or hcg ones anymore? I'm a little late to the show. Lol.
Great video. I'm A Knife Guy like many others watching this video and I make G10 handle scales. That is injection-molded probably nylon with fiberglass. So if that is not G10 that makes me question the blade Steel. It is probably Chinese steel because a manufacturer will always be proud of their steel and put it on the side of the blade or even on the box. A general rule of thumb is if it is not present on the blade it is Chinese mystery steel because the manufacturer is not proud of it.
Yes it is. It makes no sense why they would put glass-filled nylon handles on such a heavy duty knife. G10 or green linen Micarta would have been the icing on the cake. I'm still debating on getting one and making my own scales but I just don't have the time now to do that.
Wow , Just looked up that steel. Must be some tough stuff from the chemical composition. High in carbon , molybdenum , vanadium , chromium . Is it a powder steel?
When you took this knife apart, do you remember a radius where tang meets blade or was there a 90 degree corner? It was difficult to tell in the video as the guard covers that area..?
@@DonnieBAllDay There is a radius! Yay! Man, HCG did not cheap out or take shortcuts making this blade! Everything is fitted with really close tolerances. I would have to assume that handle and steel materials are the same! Thanks for all the testing videos too DBad!
What does it look like where the tang and blade meet? Any stress risers (90 degree angle) or is it curved with a radius? Would be awesome if it had no sharp corner/transition.
Cool man.chicago screws.no wonder they were looking at me weird at the hardware store when I asked for chainring bolts.but it coulda been that rubber on the bill of my hat.lol.i found em at the bike shop.but they're only a 1/2 inch long.some major counter sinking
Thanks for posting man.making em full tang i couldn't slide on the guard because of the sub hilt.had to cut my guard in half long ways and epoxy it back on.generic.i never thought of a shroud.that be hard without machines but if get it done somehow.it just wouldn't be pretty.but neither am I lol

Great follow up video! Nice to have the additional info on the steel and the handle grip injection molded parts. Sly Stallone Shop online also has this knife for sale in a different box. Do you know if it is of equal quality to this HCG issue?
@@DonnieBAllDay thanks for the rapid response. Do you have any idea when your version of the Rambo knife will be available? Will it be on a specific website?

I have to look. I have a buddy borrowing it now. Somewhere in Asia though. All I know is I use it a lot and so far it's holding up like my high end blades
@@DonnieBAllDay The guys complain a lot about things in Asia without knowing it. The now popular Pohl Force Mk9 cmc2 knife is made in Taiwan. Is it bad? No!
the 'cheap' model limited to 5000 pieces. is not a Niolox steel. is 'stainless steel' (420a). the Niolox MK-9 variant has micarta handles. limited to 300 pieces. and costs over $ 1000
@@DonnieBAllDay Nice. In my opinion the hollow handle for the small "survival" items isn't necessary if you a well trained survivalist like ramnbo. The compass is not bad but even then, a person with skill like rambo doesn't need a compass due to other means of knowledge of sense of direction. I look forward to seeing your full tang rendition 😏👍

@@DonnieBAllDay Whilst aspects of the mk9 are worked into at least one of those blades,lol, .I meant the Dietmar Pohl POHLFORCE MK9 Knife Not the Replicas.
Brother DO NOT THRASH THAT Beautiful blade, it cant handle for the long game. I have spent my life (49) looking for a repo of a functional Rambo style blade. The closest that have found was the TOPS Steel Eagle Elite.
Sorry man, I usually love your videos but this one is painful to watch. A shrouded (posicle) stick tang that is full length does not = full tang at all. Full tang is a tang that is fully visible all around the handle. Both full length + full width = full tang. If length alone = full tang then a full length rat tail or recessed stick would be "full tang" making the term meaningless. A common KA-BAR Marine Fighting knife for example has a full length stick tang and therefore isn't true full tang --nor is any other stacked leather handle knife. The handles inside show that they are molded plastic. G10 isn't injection molded. That knife is a highly cheapened version of the movie knife.
An exposed full tang is true full tang. The Cold Steel 1917 is a 3/4 true. If the tang is shrouded but exposed at the pommel its a mostly shrouded full tang. If the tang is shrouded but maintains most of the grip size its a hidden full tang. KA-BAR uses a stick tang due to how little the tang fills the inside of the grip. Kanatsune uses 3/4 tangs and so on and so on. Lokk at the description for a Hibben Expendables Bowie. Hidden full tang.
That would be a beautiful knife if you put a set of nice wood handles or any other material other than what they gave you, and I’m not being a 🥲 Baby. Have a nice day brother Don
Hi Again Donnie B all Day. I'm no expert it's just info I got off the internet ( bonjour ) . the way they did the guard and handle is really cool. So I was checking out other knives made of Niolox and they range in price from $100 to $200 made by brands such as Lion steel , DPx , Dendra knives and Kizlyar Supreme. The cheapest one I looked at had a 2.13 inch blade with a total length of 6 inches and a thickness of .11 inches and g10 scales , so that to me putting this in perspective makes your rambo knives seem like a bargain. Thank you for the shout out. Like I said I'm definitely no expert but from my research those knives are no joke , definitely far from a fantasy knife. Thanks again
Hello again Mr Steel .... Can you tell me where you found out that info about what kind of steel was used on these here HeartStopper blades ? I know there are a few versions and what bothers me is why they are not saying what type of steel was used . Blade HQ normally includes actual specs . You would think that they would include S35VN ( or similar ) . That is really awesome steel and if they want to sell them , they should include that big part of the description. But as I said .... there are a couple different versions either already here , or will be shipping soon . Thanks so much for all your help 🤠
@@tubes5150 Hi Grampy CBop . at the page on Blade HQ in click on specifacations and it shows info , you already know that so maybe when you first checked the info wasn't there . I check Blade HQ all the time for info , occasionally the specs are not there?? , so I check knife center . I know sometimes all the specs are not there but later they are .
@@tubes5150 one thing im not sure of is the link I sent to knife nerds mentioned 3v mod and said it's %0.8 carbon I'm not sure if it's the same alloy as cpm 3v BUT cpm 3v is also %0.8 carbon . Niolox is also %0.8 carbon but Niolox has more Niobium.
@@tubes5150 as you examine the page on knife nerds you will notice that Niolox is in the same family of s35vn and even more premium such as s110v . thanks for reaching out. Have a great Day
@@simonize251 I can agree to that. I'm no fan of Hibbens III. I cant wait for mine to go into production. The IV was just a sharpened slab but Sly wanted something that looked like anyone could forge it with limited tools so I get it. The shape of the MK-8 is the best since Lile
It makes no sense. The design must be a money saving feature that allows them to use the cheaper mild steel for the shroud and butt. They tried too hard to make it look like full tang and I am suspicious. I'd prefer one of those Dbad Rambo jobies from Nepal.
@@DonnieBAllDay The Ka-bar is a classic, I have one and love it. It is too thin at the tip and has that narrow tang. It is great as is for it's intended purpose but not ready to be thumped on and used hard. The Only improved version I have seen a company do is the Tops USMC but it is pretty expensive. Your War Machine looks like it could take a week of beating on it and it would laugh in your face and ask for more lol. Nice design. You earned a new subscriber.
Damn.were buying a house and now these blades came out.lol.damn.im fine with a tent.she would be for a few days.just gotta keep explaining.BUT ITS A RAMBO KNIFE BABE!!!LOL.im afraid to use a collectible but these are functional and you can put em back on display when done.awesome#!!maybe buy or make a sheathe for missions lol to save the collector sheath.but wow.that steel ain't gonna give and will always be a display piece after hard use.cooooool
Is that guy sure it's Niolox? Because Niolox isn't stainless the resellers that I know put "Stainless Steel" in the specs. Niolox is a modified version of D2 which also is not stainless. But if it really is Niolox then I gotta say it's a sick knife.
Niolox , is the steel used to produce ALL the 400 Unit made by the German Designer ....theses china crap (HCG or UC) are all made of 7Cr17 wich is the equivalent of 440a. 7cr17mov Toughness: not a great toughness, being low-end steel with good hardness and high corrosion resistance, results in a low toughness... that is ONLY a CHINA"display" knife...
The Natchez is a take on the famous Musso Bowie. The same shape has been done for almost 200 years with slight to extreme modifications. What separates many from the others isn't style or size, but simply build quality. Mine will be ready to take on the world
the knife designer is not lazy cup head. its HOW it was designed to incorporate the Titanium Guard piece on the Steel Blade and find a solution to Secure the blade. the design is extremely rock solid ! (the genuine 400 pcs)
@@DonnieBAllDay You explain, but I am Turkish and the video did not have Turkish subtitles, I did not understand so separate all the parts so I can see them or add Turkish subtitles so I understand please
Hey Donnie, have all the respect in the world for you but this is the truth. First HCG Heatstopper came out with sheapass steel, no full tang and plastic handle. Then United Cutlery stept up the game with the Sly Stallone approved version, still not a full tang but with canvas micarta handle. Please folks there no shortcut to quality, go for the Pohl Force versions, it only hurts once in the wallet but you know you got the real deal instead wasting your money on CRAP.
The steel used in the HCG version is far better than the UC. That's more of a wall hanger. The steel used in the first edition run from Pohl is fantastic, but the steel in his current line is no better than the HCG. You can get the scales to go on the HCG and with that you'll have it all. Or just wait a couple weeks and you can order my version which blows them all away.
I have done multiple hard use videos. This knife design isn't even designed for hard use, it's designed as a fighting knife. I get it, you're some kind of trolling knife snob who thinks he has a single clue, but truth be told, no one likes you. If you think the knife is cheap, volunteer to prove your point and show everyone how it will not penetrate your rib cage. I'll gladly assist you.
This is ridiculously stupid design of the handle. Thanks for sharing, but your personal assessment of this structure is just wrong.... And this structure is not considered full tang, you need to read what full tang is. Best!
@@DonnieBAllDay If you take a look at the more expensive version of this knife made by Pohl Force (you can easily find videos on TH-cam), you will see there full tang construction and great engineering. This knife however is a fiasco to my opinion. Thanks again for your video, and for showing the internal construction of this knife.
@Donnie B All day , ...i seriously think now that you got theses knives for a cheap price if not for free in exchange of you pushing them (quality of build and high end steel , with all is lyies) shame on you !
If you watched my reviews you see that I said I believe they are 440. Then someone corrected me with stats on the steel. Now I'm hearing that those stats are for the originals. You didn't see that exchange in the videos? Shame on you.
Clearly you have never used one. Not very tough? You must've missed the review. It chops like a madman. Have taken down more than 10 limbs, still have not had to resharpen.
@@DonnieBAllDay and you will certainly cry when you want to resharpen it, if the steel is so hard. And I maintain that this construction can not compare to a full tang, it's basic mechanic.
@@oczhaal You aren't correct on either point. I have no problem sharpening even supersteels as I just did a video doing one for a friend. As far a full hidden tang(full stick), this thing takes major abuse. Due to the construction of the shroud, the torqued pressure adds further pressure from hilt to pommel. The strength therefore isn't compromised, it's enhanced. I did videos showing it doing what you say it can't do. The tang is about the same as a KA-BAR. Do you worry about those failing?
Youve made me even more glad to have them both. I was already loving them but this video is great news.
Great pieces
Donnie, Nice job on this video. Just wanted to let you know about some improvements I made on mine. When I got it, the scales were loose. I took them off before retightening just to look things over and noticed that the draw screw on the end was also loose. Not that big of deal. You could just retighten everything and should be good to go. However, I was at my shop and decided to, in addition to retightening that draw screw, to tack weld the screw as well as add a couple of tack welds between the tang and the inside of the outer frame. (And, for what it's worth, the Stallone endorsed Heartstopper with the tan scales also has 2 tack welds along the tang) Now I feel this knife is practically bulletproof for what I am going to use it for. If someone wasn't comfortable welding it, I think a little Locktite on the threads of the draw screw and maybe some JB Weld along the outer edge of the tang would do wonders in keeping anything from moving. Just thought I would pass this along.
I agree completely
It’s the same metal to weld good to know thank you
Let me clear up some confusion about certain comments i have read on here saying these knives Donnie has reviewed are not the genuine replica knives from the Last Blood movie.
A few seem to think that the United Cutlery Version Endorsed By Sylvester Stallone to be released in Janurary 2021 is the Genuine replica.
WRONG..
it means nothing that our boy Sly has endorsed this knife.

The Heartstopper Knife that will sold under the United Cutlery name in Jan 2021 will be similar to the Hibben III & Hibben IV also sold by United Cutlery where they can not use the Rambo Name.
Unless the Hollywood Collectables group have given permission to United Cutlery ( which i highly doubt) these will be branded differently both on knife and box.
The HCG Rambo Bowie & Heartstopper are the Official (Remember that word kids OFFICIAL) real deal replicas Donnie has reviewed and will be the ones worth the money if Humanity hasn't ended the world in 5 10 50 years time.
My advice if you are a collector is purchase the HCG Rambo Last Blood: Bowie & Heartstopper Limited Edition Numbered Knives stick them in a cabinet on display away from sunlight, keep them in tip top condition.
(Unless You are Donnie B All Day cause this man is allowed to do what the Fuck he wants ;)
If you want a replica to use then the United Cutlery Heartstopper by Sylvester Stallone is the knife for you
.
Like The Hibben III & IV it will come with a certificate of authenticity but will not be numbered nor will it be limited piece.
As long as there is demand for the United Cutlery Heartstopper knife they will churn them out.
You're Welcome!
...personally highly prefer to have a 1:1 screen accurate (including genuine micarta scales...and not toys-r-us green plastic ones) that have whatever the model name on it rather than ...a quickly made toys that look "ok" by the look of it on the eyes of misinformed people that hold their "Niolox" toys. I dont know if you ever realized that since that Gil Hibben created the John Rambo (IV) machete and that he have nothing to do with MC or HCG ...then ONLY the United Cutlery have the 1:1 dimensions vs the genuine screen accurate used one ? No I HIGHLY doubt you ever understood this since you are what you are. Try to re-sale the MC or any other versions than the UC ...good luck LOL you're Welcome!
@@markhamilton3215 you are one of the biggest tools I've come across in my life.
You fail to understand what Official means.
United Cutlery have nothing to do with the current lot of Rambo Knives.
Blade steel, accuracy, Knife designer mean nothing.
Tattoo the word official on your forehead so when you look in the mirror one day the penny will drop.
Prime is 100% correct and when Mark attempted to make a point, he failed. The UC Hibben III is smaller than the movie knife. They do not make them 1:1. Study up.
@@DonnieBAllDay What Mark fails to understand is the word official.
He threw around a whole bunch of facts and figures trying to sound intelligent.
As a collector myself of various collectables when you resell something to get buyers interested it must be the official replica no matter what item we are talikng bout.
Dinky toys is s good example.
Plenty of model car Dinky knock offs.
Another perfect example is the 3 United Cutlery Rambo Knives that came out in the 1980's from Carolco.
None of those knives were close to the original knives used by Stallone in the movies, heck the First Blood survival knife only had 12 saw teeth and no wetstone pouch on the sheath but they were OFFICIAL & bring in decent money compared to what they were sold for back then.
There were many more screen accurate knock offs made in the 1980s im sure but they weren't Official.
The Last Blood Knives you reviewed in this clip are part of HCG Masterpiece Collection line.
Money in the eyes of collectors.
Official replicas.
Someone please find the word official in a dictionary, place a bookmark on the page and post it to Mark.
It's simple maths.
Once again Dbad awesome review.
@@Optimus_Prime. yeah, he's an idiot
I’m liking the “get to the guts of the knife” approach. 👍🏽
Thanks bro
When you explained it in you previous vids I was thinkn it was maybe a cheaper way to build the knife but I think its just the opposite. So glad you did this video. Thanx brother!
I'm impressed
Hey Donnie that does look like a well built piece and a pretty cool tang concept. The webbing on the inside of the handle screams injection molded tho! G10 is not an injection molded material. Ain't saying it ain't (g10) but really have doubts. Either one should work just fine for a handle material, just saying! Thanks for the full reviews!
I had the same thought! Damn website! haha
I have to agree on the scales, Jed. When Donnie tapped it. It had that plasticy sound. G10 would have denser sound and its not injection molded.
Hi guys .
Can I add my 2 cents ???
Cause that’s about how much they spent on the Handle materials Hahahaha .
This is ( IMO ) the knife you love to hate .
It’s still seems like a nice blade and all and it will soon be a part of my Rambo collection, but I still gotta question that steel .
Hey ... if I mass produced a blade using S35VN ( or similar) , I would definitely include that in the specs - especially from Blade HQ ( they always include the specs - why they didn’t certainly bothers me ).
I’m just wondering- there are a few versions of this out there .
Could this be the one that features that awesome steel ????!!
Stay tuned .
And hey -- Stay safe as Always!🤠
@@tubes5150 2 cents goes a long way these days!! Haha! After some research, its true, the steel is real. They use a steel where the cheapest knife found in it was a 2.5" blade for $200. Its the real deal and speaking of real deal, Jed!!!!! Its out for delivery today!!
Donnie B All Day Oh I’m hoping you are right kind sir .
The buttheads at Blade HQ REALLY should of included that in the specs .
Why wouldn’t they ?????
Can’t wait to see the other Jed masterpiece.
One of the Best knives Out There!! Amazing Should never be hung on a Wall these are Usable good quality knives. Good Channel Brother 👌
I use the snot out of this thing
@@DonnieBAllDay Haha Good Stuff, I've Never Hung the MK9 on My Wall only around the waist mate. 🗡️
This is the most well built, out of all the Rambo Knives
Of every Rambo knife not made by the actual designer, this one definitely is the best
Of course my custom version is way better
Never really thought about what actually went into making these such nice pieces!
Very informative!
Built like tanks
informative !?!?!
I never seen/heard such misinformation on a subject in this short amount of time (this video) of my entire life...
Mark Hamilton , when you put out a video I’ll compare the two! Until then go find something else to do!
Yes “ INFORMATIVE”!
@@chuckkuester6056 mark is a troll. Hes whining like a little girl because he only thinks he's smart. The knife steel is what I first reported then followed up on. He must've missed that and now just spews ignorance. He also doesn't know what licensed is. And I guess taking something apart to show how its built isn't informative. Hes a tool.
@@chuckkuester6056 and yes. He has heard such misinformation in a short amount of time. It took seconds for the doctor to mess up and say, its a boy!
The handle design is a pretty innovative and strong design
I like it
Great Video brother! That Nylox is some good shit!!!
absolutely
Well, I doubt that they use Niolox steel for this knife replica. It still looks nice overall...
@@jurgenfischer5447 I did some updates on the different sources of information
Very unique knife tang , I like it and now I want one.
They're awesome. Only 5000 each so if you can find one, grab one
The edge retention on that blade is better than 440a in my opinion
440A is what Hibben used on his real stuff. Its not the steel, it's the heat treat and this one has a great heat treat
@@DonnieBAllDay How did you find out it's not Niolox
@@TheRingoKid those were the specs for Pohls version. I did some digging
@@DonnieBAllDay Have you had to sharpen them yet sir?
@@TheRingoKid not yet
I don’t mind having a stick tang for light use knives, but when it comes to a full tang, I’d rather it be exposed top and bottom to fill the width of the grip. I also rather the pommel not be a separate piece from the tang, but it’s not a deal breaker for me. I can still respect the artistry behind these knives.
I'm with you
Thank you So much for making this video .
Mystery Solved !
This couple of knives have turned into some of the best I own and you know I own some amazing pieces
Donnie B All Day Now That’s what I like to hear !!!
And I really do appreciate you taking the time to do this video .
Talk about a Break Down !
Photobombed by girl and sparky the dog. Love it!
They show up like ghosts in the night! haha
440 is the nice steel, I like it much more, than 4116 Germa5. 440 is not bad, NO WAY!!!!
440 is a common steel, it works but is no where near the class of this knife
That was cool and informative. When I seen the handles off. I was like, "Oh no! What happened?"
To hear the info on the steel for it. Was really cool too. Im so glad they used a killer steel for them. Unlike the others. Much thanks to Steel Lovingyou.
Will be doing a vid tomorrow. So, I hope you have your notifications on.
Let me know when it's up
@Paul Myers....are you thinking that a china manufacture would use high end steel (niolox) for a knife they put 5cents injected molded plastic scale and advertise them as "G10" ? somes guys already analyzed the steel of the last blood china replica knives and the results are all telling the same thing : Cheap China 420J Steel...................!!!
@@markhamilton3215 I'm thinking the same thing (see my other comment). There is no G10 on this, and I bet that no Niolox either.

Hi guys. Donnie, great reviews. I got a question: are you sure its niolox? Im asking because I had that doubt and I wrote to HCG and they answered it is 440... So now I'm confused. I know the Dietmat Pohl edition are niolox because they were manufactured by Lion Steel, but these ones now I'm not so sure...
@@manuelangelmaldonadorios1519 It says so in the manufacture description so I have to go with them. It explains the $250 price tag they started with and the fact the edge is holding up insanely well!
@@manuelangelmaldonadorios1519 I actually corrected a guy who sells them yet knew nothing about them. But I'll find out whenever I do need to sharpen it.
@@DonnieBAllDay Please let us know... Best regards
The current website listing says the blade steel is 7cr17, which has lower carbon than 8cr13 (but more chromium, which means more rust resistance). Not a good steel for $200. It looks like the current blades on the site are different than the original release. The new handle scales for the 7cr edition are micarta
I just did a follow up video. This thing is a banger
i've made a couple knives with frame rat tail handles, great stuff but threads on the rat tail i'm not so sure about. All the knives i have with threaded rat tails have sheared. Same with frame threaded rat tails i've made. Anything under 5mm threads is pretty small for a knife, especially a chopper. Gotta say the rambo knives though are aweesome and this one is an excellent piece. Huge fan of frame rat tail bowies.
the good thing about this is that the threaded end has securing pressures, not just being pulled from one side. Also, its a designed fighting knife, not made for chopping. It just happens to do that really well. I have 4 hard use videos with this thing and I definitely had my doubts, but it keeps on hammering
@@DonnieBAllDay Yes that is true it is a fighting knife and not intended for chopping which makes a big difference here. I must have overlooked those securing pressures. Very interesting stuff. I hope more companies and people start making framed rat tails. Lots of potential.
Except for obviously not being numbered, do the non numbered versions, also from HCG, have the same build?
I do believe
I'm glad to hear these are high quality replicas since I can't afford the Pohl Force ones made by the designer.
You'll be happy with them
Phouls cnc edition isnt that expensive compared to HCG, you sould get that one when theyre avaible in 2022
Thanks for this review now I am going to get both...
You're going to be happy
People seem make their negative options on where a knife is made .The Microtech Socom Bravo is made by a company in China, and they have no problems with selling them, they a a super high quality knife.
100% fact
How much did it cost? Where to buy? Thanks for showing.
I got both from Blade HQ. I think they go for 189 each
What do you think of the Rambo mk8 Bowie knife off preppersUK? it has a partial tang but it's been spot welded in 8 different places, think it'll hold up alright?
I have the HCG version and it's awesome. It's the only version I have
Great Vid man. Got mine a week ago and had second questioned the G10 scales too but it is growing on me. I can take mountain lions bears now during deep wood hikes.

@@planetb2130 I wasn't lying to you
@@DonnieBAllDayG'day Donnie what do you use to oil the blade?? It's awesome to see someone using the knife Not hanging it on a wall, I'm using mine and personally think it could be a Army SAS issue to be used in the Field.
I got a email from Dietmar pohl few days ago in response to buying a mk9 off him direct apparently November he said they'll release a certain quantity.
@@planetb2130 Since I don't use it for food prep I simply used Remington gun oil. I spray some on Robin let it sit in a sheaf. When it ends up drying off all I do is maintain a dry blade and I don't have any issues. Nice to know you are getting one from the maker. You will definitely feel a difference. I have a custom one and I did a redesign on 1 and I have to say that these knives are growing on me

Revisiting this video. The tang/guard setup the same on the CNC2 MK9?
Im not sure. Is that one true full tang?
@@DonnieBAllDay I'm not sure but trying to find CNC2 version.
Wow! For a movie knife that is constructed that way and made from a super steel that is one hell of a bargain that you got there brother on how the knife is constructed.. to me it makes epoxy and brass or steel rivets seem primitive. That is a knife you can carry into a conflict. Awesome review bro , stay safe and stay sharp.
I'm lovin' it!
Great review....just purchased the Dbad gator tail today.... I was wondering about how long the delivery will take... a month or two or..... thanks
usually a month from order to door
Hearthstopper knife (MK-9) from original designer (Pohl Force) have Niolox steel, I’m not sure is it the same case with this knife.
Someone in the comments claimed that he had been in contact with Hollywood collectibles, and they apparently said it was 440 steel.
I would think, that manufacturer would really know these kind of things.
So in this case it would be 440A steel.
MK-9 is the real deal, but it cost 6 times more than this knife, of course it’s limited edition and all, so it’s more expensive.
One thing is that why they would put cheap plastic handle to the knife with Niolox steel? Why to use pretty good steel, and then cheapest handle material there is?
This just does not make any sense.
Hollywood collectibles have the rights to do “official” Rambo knives. What I have seen with previous Rambo knifes, is that they ask pretty high prices from these, not so great knives.
Note that this knife is not endorsed by Stallone (who is a long time knife collector) or designer Dietmar Pohl. Hollywood collectibles have rights for the name and that’s why they are doing these.
I bet that soon there will be signature series etc available, but these have nothing to do with Stallone.
Stallone will endorse heartstopper knife later on, but it will not be this one.
I updated some of the info on my Jed Hornbeak Heartstopper review
from what I can tell....I wouldn't be surprised if the Stallone versions that actually say Heartstopper on them are the same ones just with the heartstopper name on them....they're selling for about the same price
Tang construction seems to be from original MK-9 knife (almost exact copy). So this is how to "real heartstopper" was made. It's awesome that this was made the same way.
@@FunFacts1 I like it
I think like you do. If it is a high quality steel blade, why making a secret out of it !? This doesn`t make any sence to me .
I just picked up one from Sylvester Stallones website. It's the United Cutlery says endorsed by him and it feels pretty solid. That one is 7Cr17 steel. Is that a pretty good hard tough steel? I've never heard of it.
Don't use that one. Its brittle. The UC versions are endorsed collector items but not real knives. The real Pohl stuff and the HCG versions are the only hard use versions of Pohl's designs
@@DonnieBAllDay Oh shoot. I just got the UC one from his site without really knowing on the holiday sale. I wish they'd make it with a top end steel and maybe put good black g10 grips, do away with the subhilt on that particular knife. It's a full tang I believe. Pohl made a good tactical black version of it in d2 but I missed it and it sold out. Idk if you can get the pohl or hcg ones anymore? I'm a little late to the show. Lol.
@@DonnieBAllDayyou probably could use it I just wonder how it would hold up.
I'm selling a pair of first edition, numbered(MK8 and MK9) now that are HCG. These things are monster users.@@brandonchandler9032
I ordered this one. It should arrive in about 1 week
Its a really good knife
Great video. I'm A Knife Guy like many others watching this video and I make G10 handle scales. That is injection-molded probably nylon with fiberglass. So if that is not G10 that makes me question the blade Steel. It is probably Chinese steel because a manufacturer will always be proud of their steel and put it on the side of the blade or even on the box. A general rule of thumb is if it is not present on the blade it is Chinese mystery steel because the manufacturer is not proud of it.
I responded to you but it looks like it didn't hold. Definitely still a beast with 440A
Yes it is. It makes no sense why they would put glass-filled nylon handles on such a heavy duty knife. G10 or green linen Micarta would have been the icing on the cake. I'm still debating on getting one and making my own scales but I just don't have the time now to do that.
I'm wondering what the Rockwell hardness is of that 440a steel?
@@jameslehner2433 I believe its 58-60
Awesome blades
Absolutely
Some one has really put some thoight into that bad boy... that was interesting! Thanls mate.
I love them even more now
For you this knife , Is good, for trhowing ,for chopping , for badooning?
It does it all. See my test videos on it
great video!
Thanks!
And to me that is a stick tang not full tang . A stick tang with a reinforced hand guard .
Its the same as a KA-BAR. A full hidden. I believe a stick tang has to be a lower percentage of the tang.
Wow , Just looked up that steel. Must be some tough stuff from the chemical composition. High in carbon , molybdenum , vanadium , chromium . Is it a powder steel?
@@somedude1590 I don't know everything about it. A quick look showed me that its one of the "super steels"
When you took this knife apart, do you remember a radius where tang meets blade or was there a 90 degree corner? It was difficult to tell in the video as the guard covers that area..?
I dont remember
@@DonnieBAllDay copy that! I’ll have to take it apart today! Hahaha! Thanks DBad
@@DonnieBAllDay There is a radius! Yay! Man, HCG did not cheap out or take shortcuts making this blade! Everything is fitted with really close tolerances. I would have to assume that handle and steel materials are the same! Thanks for all the testing videos too DBad!
@@robertrhinehart4779 I like it. Its a user
What does it look like where the tang and blade meet? Any stress risers (90 degree angle) or is it curved with a radius? Would be awesome if it had no sharp corner/transition.

Nice. In my opinion the hollow handle for the small "survival" items isn't necessary if you a well trained survivalist like ramnbo. The compass is not bad but even then, a person with skill like rambo doesn't need a compass due to other means of knowledge of sense of direction. I look forward to seeing your full tang rendition 😏👍

Man I really need to pick these up might be to late
worth it
hello man, can you take a video to take apart all the parts of the blade and show us how
The only other part to disassemble is the shroud. Thats just held on with nut.
Brother DO NOT THRASH THAT Beautiful blade, it cant handle for the long game. I have spent my life (49) looking for a repo of a functional Rambo style blade. The closest that have found was the TOPS Steel Eagle Elite.
This blade will hold up but the best Rambo blade is my dbad John J Tribute Bowie
I don’t know, there’s to many pieces. Just make the knife one solid piece
Just a good way to secure the guard and sleeve, but full tang is always better
Sorry man, I usually love your videos but this one is painful to watch. A shrouded (posicle) stick tang that is full length does not = full tang at all. Full tang is a tang that is fully visible all around the handle. Both full length + full width = full tang.
If length alone = full tang then a full length rat tail or recessed stick would be "full tang" making the term meaningless.
A common KA-BAR Marine Fighting knife for example has a full length stick tang and therefore isn't true full tang --nor is any other stacked leather handle knife.
The handles inside show that they are molded plastic. G10 isn't injection molded. That knife is a highly cheapened version of the movie knife.
An exposed full tang is true full tang. The Cold Steel 1917 is a 3/4 true. If the tang is shrouded but exposed at the pommel its a mostly shrouded full tang. If the tang is shrouded but maintains most of the grip size its a hidden full tang. KA-BAR uses a stick tang due to how little the tang fills the inside of the grip. Kanatsune uses 3/4 tangs and so on and so on. Lokk at the description for a Hibben Expendables Bowie. Hidden full tang.
The amount of chromium is what makes a knife stainless, not the amount of carbon.
Yes
That would be a beautiful knife if you put a set of nice wood handles or any other material other than what they gave you, and I’m not being a 🥲 Baby. Have a nice day brother Don
I might get Pohls micarta scales
Hi Again Donnie B all Day. I'm no expert it's just info I got off the internet ( bonjour ) . the way they did the guard and handle is really cool. So I was checking out other knives made of Niolox and they range in price from $100 to $200 made by brands such as Lion steel , DPx , Dendra knives and Kizlyar Supreme. The cheapest one I looked at had a 2.13 inch blade with a total length of 6 inches and a thickness of .11 inches and g10 scales , so that to me putting this in perspective makes your rambo knives seem like a bargain. Thank you for the shout out. Like I said I'm definitely no expert but from my research those knives are no joke , definitely far from a fantasy knife. Thanks again
You don't have to be an expert, but you sound like one! haha
Hello again Mr Steel ....
Can you tell me where you found out that info about what kind of steel was used on these here HeartStopper blades ?
I know there are a few versions and what bothers me is why they are not saying what type of steel was used .
Blade HQ normally includes actual specs .
You would think that they would include S35VN ( or similar ) .
That is really awesome steel and if they want to sell them , they should include that big part of the description.
But as I said .... there are a couple different versions either already here , or will be shipping soon .
Thanks so much for all your help 🤠
@@tubes5150 Hi Grampy CBop . at the page on Blade HQ in click on specifacations and it shows info , you already know that so maybe when you first checked the info wasn't there . I check Blade HQ all the time for info , occasionally the specs are not there?? , so I check knife center . I know sometimes all the specs are not there but later they are .
@@tubes5150 one thing im not sure of is the link I sent to knife nerds mentioned 3v mod and said it's %0.8 carbon I'm not sure if it's the same alloy as cpm 3v BUT cpm 3v is also %0.8 carbon . Niolox is also %0.8 carbon but Niolox has more Niobium.
@@tubes5150 as you examine the page on knife nerds you will notice that Niolox is in the same family of s35vn and even more premium such as s110v . thanks for reaching out. Have a great Day
i dont like that little screw back on the tang
It has a real world purpose
Who makes these?
They are put out by Hollywood collectibles group
Donnie B All Day Are they the originators as well?
@@simonize251 Not the designers, not sure if they have controlled forges.
Donnie B All Day Sly fucked up when he turned his back on Jimmy Lile. The movie knives haven’t made near the impression
@@simonize251 I can agree to that. I'm no fan of Hibbens III. I cant wait for mine to go into production. The IV was just a sharpened slab but Sly wanted something that looked like anyone could forge it with limited tools so I get it. The shape of the MK-8 is the best since Lile
Anyway no Rambo knife I’ve ever seen compared to the one you designed , If there was a real John Rambo that’s the knife he would be using
I agree. Haha
It makes no sense. The design must be a money saving feature that allows them to use the cheaper mild steel for the shroud and butt. They tried too hard to make it look like full tang and I am suspicious. I'd prefer one of those Dbad Rambo jobies from Nepal.
I'll be doing a custom one of these through Nepal. Full tang of course
@@DonnieBAllDay Nice! I really like the John J Tribute you had them do. The compact fixed blade and the Ka-bar on steroids are really nice as well!
@@ZombieOrchestra the War Machine has become one of my top blades to use
@@DonnieBAllDay The Ka-bar is a classic, I have one and love it. It is too thin at the tip and has that narrow tang. It is great as is for it's intended purpose but not ready to be thumped on and used hard. The Only improved version I have seen a company do is the Tops USMC but it is pretty expensive. Your War Machine looks like it could take a week of beating on it and it would laugh in your face and ask for more lol. Nice design. You earned a new subscriber.
@@ZombieOrchestra thanks bro
Damn.were buying a house and now these blades came out.lol.damn.im fine with a tent.she would be for a few days.just gotta keep explaining.BUT ITS A RAMBO KNIFE BABE!!!LOL.im afraid to use a collectible but these are functional and you can put em back on display when done.awesome#!!maybe buy or make a sheathe for missions lol to save the collector sheath.but wow.that steel ain't gonna give and will always be a display piece after hard use.cooooool
I'm using them constantly and zero wear!
Pretty sure Phouls cnc edition of these are way more superior than HCGs.
Looking, yes. Scales, yes. Tang yes. But not in the steel. He uses a 9cr variant compared to a 420A. About the same.
Is that guy sure it's Niolox? Because Niolox isn't stainless the resellers that I know put "Stainless Steel" in the specs. Niolox is a modified version of D2 which also is not stainless. But if it really is Niolox then I gotta say it's a sick knife.
I did a follow up video and talked about it. There were multiple reports on the steel used.
Niolox , is the steel used to produce ALL the 400 Unit made by the German Designer ....theses china crap (HCG or UC) are all made of 7Cr17 wich is the equivalent of 440a. 7cr17mov Toughness: not a great toughness, being low-end steel with good hardness and high corrosion resistance, results in a low toughness... that is ONLY a CHINA"display" knife...
@@markhamilton3215 only a display knife that can chop down a tree. Dont listen to this troll
The bolster is aluminum, not steel
I get paid for every view. Thanks for all your help.
IMO it’s lazy that these replicas can’t just be full tang. They put more work and machining into these dumb threaded tangs
The Natchez is a take on the famous Musso Bowie. The same shape has been done for almost 200 years with slight to extreme modifications. What separates many from the others isn't style or size, but simply build quality. Mine will be ready to take on the world
the knife designer is not lazy cup head. its HOW it was designed to incorporate the Titanium Guard piece on the Steel Blade and find a solution to Secure the blade. the design is extremely rock solid ! (the genuine 400 pcs)
@@markhamilton3215 clown it can be made from one piece of steel…..
In this video, you just removed the grip handles, this is not enough. Take off the hand guard so let's see how it is placed.
I explained how its placed. Its pressure held
@@DonnieBAllDay You explain, but I am Turkish and the video did not have Turkish subtitles, I did not understand so separate all the parts so I can see them or add Turkish subtitles so I understand please
Hey Donnie, have all the respect in the world for you but this is the truth. First HCG Heatstopper came out with sheapass steel, no full tang and plastic handle. Then United Cutlery stept up the game with the Sly Stallone approved version, still not a full tang but with canvas micarta handle. Please folks there no shortcut to quality, go for the Pohl Force versions, it only hurts once in the wallet but you know you got the real deal instead wasting your money on CRAP.
The steel used in the HCG version is far better than the UC. That's more of a wall hanger. The steel used in the first edition run from Pohl is fantastic, but the steel in his current line is no better than the HCG. You can get the scales to go on the HCG and with that you'll have it all. Or just wait a couple weeks and you can order my version which blows them all away.
A pretty seious knife really
it's a bad ass
friend can you add turkish subtitles
I have to learn how
@@DonnieBAllDay I do not know. But you can ask someone who understands these ... please add Turkish language support.
@@DonnieBAllDay By the way, my friend, can you write all the measurements?
@@real-weak I'll try
@@DonnieBAllDay Thank you very much I am waiting for news from you
Why would anyone buy these?!?!
It's not like they were made by Pohl knives.
They're just cheap reproductions.
I have done multiple hard use videos. This knife design isn't even designed for hard use, it's designed as a fighting knife. I get it, you're some kind of trolling knife snob who thinks he has a single clue, but truth be told, no one likes you. If you think the knife is cheap, volunteer to prove your point and show everyone how it will not penetrate your rib cage. I'll gladly assist you.
Nope.
Until it fails, yup.
Dbad preacher is the true king. There can be only one.
@@DEATHGRIP360 well thats true
LA mejor parte es n el minuto 7:11 cuando sale atrás una mamacita d vestido negro, eso es lo único bueno d este video.
She was 13 years old. Whats wrong with you?
Bad to the bone
And cuts that deep too! haha
This is ridiculously stupid design of the handle. Thanks for sharing, but your personal assessment of this structure is just wrong.... And this structure is not considered full tang, you need to read what full tang is. Best!
I did my reading when I started making knives and then designing. Is it the way I would do it? Nope. But its still great engineering.
@@DonnieBAllDay If you take a look at the more expensive version of this knife made by Pohl Force (you can easily find videos on TH-cam), you will see there full tang construction and great engineering. This knife however is a fiasco to my opinion. Thanks again for your video, and for showing the internal construction of this knife.
Are you serious? That's a piece of crap. I hope Stallone stops making these movies but he'll need money again for something.
@Donnie B All day , ...i seriously think now that you got theses knives for a cheap price if not for free in exchange of you pushing them (quality of build and high end steel , with all is lyies) shame on you !
If you watched my reviews you see that I said I believe they are 440. Then someone corrected me with stats on the steel. Now I'm hearing that those stats are for the originals. You didn't see that exchange in the videos? Shame on you.
It's okay bud, he's just one of those assholes that have to be right all the time, What a prick...... No one likes a hater
What an asshole
@@jjonnyrodd just a troll
This is certainly not a FULL TANG and doesn't look very tough.
Clearly you have never used one. Not very tough? You must've missed the review. It chops like a madman. Have taken down more than 10 limbs, still have not had to resharpen.
@@DonnieBAllDay and you will certainly cry when you want to resharpen it, if the steel is so hard. And I maintain that this construction can not compare to a full tang, it's basic mechanic.
@@oczhaal You aren't correct on either point. I have no problem sharpening even supersteels as I just did a video doing one for a friend. As far a full hidden tang(full stick), this thing takes major abuse. Due to the construction of the shroud, the torqued pressure adds further pressure from hilt to pommel. The strength therefore isn't compromised, it's enhanced. I did videos showing it doing what you say it can't do. The tang is about the same as a KA-BAR. Do you worry about those failing?
