There are too many knife reviewers. I just watched another guy baton a log with a 6" knife JUST to have something to do for his video. There isn't 20 min worth of stuff to say about a metal thing thats been around since cave men. THIS dude just briefly ran through like 10 knives in 1 video and I saw about as much of each one as I needed to. HE appreciates your time. And now I know I want that SCAR Bear knife from the thumbnail... job done.
Handful of years later, no one remembers most of the knives featured in this video. But as others in the comments section have pointed out, Kabar's line of Becker knives is still going strong to this day. Likely will be, for many years to come.
KaBar/Becker BK2 Buck 119 Special Buck 620 Reaper Swiss Army Knife Those are my knives, and they do everything I need them to. I highly recommend them. Also, although you can get knives that are pretty much designed for batoning (like my BK2) using a hatchet is SO much easier and it does the job much better than any knife ever could. For that, I recommend the Fiskars hatchets.
I'll just stick with my BK-9. It's never failed me after 20+ years of hard use. It's been my " go to" knife and why change a good thing? It's a beast of a knife and can do whatever I throw it's way.
My 5 favorite knifes : 5) Kukri 4) M9 bayonet 3) military ballistic knife 2)Chinese combat knife-Tanga 1) Microtech jagdkimmando That last one is sick maaan
I am planning on picking up a Morakniv bushcraft for my all-purpose knife. So many glowing testimonials for that company. As for a budget-friendly "one-tool option," I chose the Kershaw Camp 10. It's a versatile medium-sized chopper for under $40. Kind of a kurki-style knife with a really comfortable/grippy handle and high-carbon steel blade. Razor sharp out of the box. Many positive reviews. Affordable. Highly recommend.
I don't wish to burst anyone's bubble about knives, But let me say something about knives. The survival knife is the one you have on you at the time you find your self in a survival situation. Most likely it wont be a belt knife unless your carrying a folding belt knife, which is legal just about every where. This knife was selected by you for its durability and blade strength and most important its ability to stay sharp. This is what your going to rely on!. All else is what you PLAN on taking with you for an outing into the wilderness. If you go down town toting a big Bowie knife on your belt, you can darn near for sure scare someone and the cops will be looking for you. to carry a knife all the time is to have a need to be discreet!. I went into a Tractor Supply store a while back and was standing next to a cowboy, wearing a Bowie knife, a revolver, arm guards, a well worn cowboy hat. And boots to match, he really did have a need for these items, his life depended on them. A discreet knife would be a small belt knife, nothing so imposing as to cause alarm a small folder or a straight knife would pass ok. Survival is what you carry at all times. these are the items you carry with you where ever you go. You are not preparing for an unexpected tour of the wilderness. That why its called SURVIVAL!. Unless you carry a light backpack with the essentials for such an event, where would you carry extra food, a large knife, a light weight bed roll, camp fire starter stuff, an extra sweater etc...... Whats right for an author or a naturalist, a columnist my not be right for you. Before YOU finally settle on the perfect knife, you''ll probably have bought a half dozen of them. My wife has bought me a couple knives and I don't like any of them, except a small well made pocket knife, which would do fine for a survival knife in a pinch. All that said , I very much like medium to large knives and carry a medium pocket knife.
I am good friends with John Luthy, the designer of the Papa Bear and he is one big guy, hence the big grip. He spent literally 20 minutes explaining the survival applications that went into the design of that knife, drawing from lots of personal experience in the USMC as well as an outdoors-man from Wisconsin. Good video, quick and to the point.
I support Ontario knives. Cheap made in the USA and I live 20 minutes away. Thanks for giving them a shout out. If your local, you can walk in and get deep discounts right at the factory
Undoubtedlly yes, but steel snobs with big wallets just dont care, another community ruined by elitism, in condor they worry about performance more than elitism, that why thei stuff is meant for rugged use, as seen by the argentinian whi work daily with their stuff.
In the Kukri line, I recommend looking into the hand made knives that come from Tora blades, Himalayan Imports and KHHI. KHHI made me a custom kukri and I am beyond happy with it.
I normally avoid knife reviews as I love the few I have and don't have a reason to purchase anything at this time. However, this was an excellent review. For the manufacturers.... that are reading this... this guy is great. Not biased as far as I see it, and he spoke honestly about each knife. I now have a couple ideas for my next purchase, or at least recommendation.
I just received a knife from Schrade with the nylon sheath and I love it so much. Since I already was familiar with the Schrade brand and having seen this knife on their web site I ordered it and was really amazed when it arrived and I had the opportunity to use it. The knife have a full tang blade, and rubberized handle with grips which make it easy to hold. This is my first fixed blade Schrade knife, but not the only fixed blade knife as I own many others also.
Say Heah Tim, WoW is this summer going fast, I'm the summer I like to incorporate a long knife to help me with the brambles, But when you mentioned a One Tool Option, right away I thought of my Potbelly, I bought it together with the Parangatang which I use alot as one of my long knives, But the Potbelly was a stepping stone for what now is one of my Fav's One Tool Option. My Ratweiler. What helps me alot, For a big knife, the choil allows me to do fine work with it, Although I teamed mine with the Rodent Solution, I basically just use the Ratweiler for everything. I also started using my new found large knife that I had for a while now, I bought it more as a chopper, But when my BK-9 out chopped it, I sort of put my BK-4 aside, Then I started using my Summer Long Knife to clear the Brambles then the light went on. It is called a Machaxe, It's OK using it that way, But I like mine just a little longer. But when I realized for good it sliced and did some of the fine work, The light went off again. Why not just use it as a long knife. A tool was born. I did take it out this weekend, But as my large knife, I teamed it with my BK-2 and it's good, But I think I will try teaming it up with my BK-10 next time. But since I don't carry both knife at the same time, Don't get me wrong, So far that combo is working out great. Actually tgere really isn't a whole lot of difference in thickness, maybe a 1/16th" That's not that much and besides I did wear my Mora 510 as a neck knife and in the cabin, We went out for a Bush Craft 4th of July weekend, But all we're doing is feeding our faces heh heh heh, Anyhow, I Wish you a Happy and Safe 4th of July.
If I walked into 1 store with all of these, I'd be paralyzed by indecision! Lol. I've recently gotten the Mora companion in black. Yes, I ground the spline to 90. Then I used a Verde salsa for a spot patina followed by the Apple cider vinegar. Wrapped the sheath in bank line. All of which I found from TH-camrs. Such a wealth of info out there. The knives turned out great!
What a great way to enjoy my morning coffee... Lol Great vid Tim, there are sooo many options out there, thanks for sharing some with us. Do you have any of Jeff Freeman's knives?
Best "survival" knife will ultimately be the one you have on you at the time you are in a "survival" situation... You will adapt from there... good to look at different types etc, but know in your heart that a knife is still just a tool, an extension of yourself, that is the true survival tool... knowledge, knowledge knowledge, and the wisdom to know how to make incorporate that knowledge into any given situation, that is true art of survival...
Nice looking knives. I like my SOG. 5 years old and still has an edge that is razor sharp. My folding pocket knife is a Kershaw. I carry it everywhere. It to still has a great edge and feels good in my hand
Straight forward, to the point, no B.S , laymans terms and Very informative for all who enjoy the great outdoors. Subscribed I am of this first video I have seen of yours.
I've been using an 8 inch parang that I picked up from Malaysia for the past 10 years. It does everything I need it to do. Something about all these yahoos saying you need a saw, an axe, and a knife is just stupid and adds more weight to your pack for no reason.
That was a really good video / plus i really like the fast pace that you run through everything ( un-like some U-Tubers that are slower than molasses to complete 1 sentence ) subscription added !
I like my Kabar BK16 for bushcraft and camp chores, and carry a Granfors Bruks small forest axe to go with. No knife can chop like an axe. I have a large Nepalese kuhkhuri and there is just no comparison to what the small axe can do.
This is a great video for all of you boys that are trying to survive in your backyard for the first time without your mommy keeping an eye on you. These knives are great for sharpening Popsicle sticks and long sticks for when you have to cook hot dogs over the barbecue in your backyard survival situations. Always be prepared with your bug out bag and your pajamas in case little Johnny invites you to spend the night on a moments notice.
I was surprised that you didn't include the Becker BK2 or BK16. All the Becker knives are tough and reasonably priced. I really like the looks and price of the SCH42D. I'm going to have to check that one out.
I love my Flint knapped Knife I made a year ago beautiful cutter and great tool not a real chopper but it's the sharpest thing you can get just like obsidian
I have a Condor Hudson Bay that is a beast and I also use a Knives of Alaska Bush Camp knife when I travel. Good video if just a little fast. keep up the good work.
What about Blackjack knives! No one ever talks about them. I have one and is awesome! The best knife I own. Like to see more videos with these knives. Awesome videos by the way. Keep them coming
Thnx, fixed blade and thick stock built to last. Glad most key mfg going back to this instead of hollow handle fad yrs ago. Worked in grampa's day but for modern steels, thnx
+Brendan Richards I like the Strongarm from Gerber and also their new S30V Gator hunting knife. From Buck, I can't say a ton - haven't used a lot of their gear.
Great Video! Apologies for chiming in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you thought about - Lammywalness Your Dream Guide (do a search on google)? It is a good one of a kind guide for discovering how to get a a FREE Edt multitool survival tool without the normal expense. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my old buddy Taylor at very last got astronomical success with it.
In many years camping in several different countries and states, I have found a plain ordinary machete is more useful and reliable than any hatchet. Of course have a good knife.
Just signed up, Hope you offer on the job training for what you show, your showing what they look like an a few spec's is nice for eye appeal. Its to bad that ammo was'nt as easy to order as bushcraft, survival, camping , food prep knifes, a knife for every occasion, a steel selection as well. Reviews are super great but fact is, we all pretty much have to buy knifes until were broke or get lucky and inherit that old hickory when grandpa kicks the bucket that he used and shared with grandma at dinner time. Yea as many knifes as comments, i stopped counting mine a long time ago, like some one said, you cant carry them all, yet i don't even consider selling one. Knife lovers are just that, we are under there spell. So as for me, i say thumbs up and keep showing with the spec's and throw in a little wood occasionally just for good measure. Thanks again I'm sure i will enjoy watching while i clean and sharpen mine, and even see one or two i cant live with out. HAPPY TRAILS !!!
Cool video. I just have one question. None of those knives look used.... how can you be sure that they are "the best" survival knives if you've never tested them? What if they don't preform how you expect them to? But again, cool video.
***** Well to me a survival knife is a knife that can do everything- small and big stuff. Can make feather sticks for a fire, and can also baton (I never chop with a knife.) And you have to remember that in a real survival situation you might not have a hatchet with you. I know that when I go into the woods I don't always carry one with me. I carry my knife that can, essentially, do the same thing, just not as well. I've been eying the Esee 6 for my next knife, but you say you can build your own knives? Is it expensive? It is difficult? How can I get into something like that?
***** I don't only go into the woods to camp. I don't know about you but when I'm hunting, or on a hike, I don't want to be carrying a tool that I won't be needing unless I get lost and have to spend the night. That's why I don't always carry an axe/hatchet- I'm not going to use it, and it's just extra weight. If I'm going into the woods to camp, then yes, I'm going to bring an axe/hatchet with me. That's why I carry a knife that can, if needed, do more than just small stuff. It can, if it had to, baton/split wood, as well as small things, like feather sticks and gutting fish and game. That way I don't need to carry all those extra tools with me.
Steve Smith Maybe it's possible he tested a different actual knife but of the same model to judge them but used new ones in the video for appearance so people know what it looks like that they might buy.
Say Heah Tim, Thanx, great review. I have the Benchmade Bushcrafter #162, F.Y.I. for a very reasonable price, I got the Frog for the Dangler Ring on the sheath from Battle Horse Knives. It matches very good and I really like that sheath alot better now. I also got a similar set to your O.K.C.'s I Got THE Ranger RD-9 and the Afghan both in the 5160 and the Hi-Viz Orange Handles, I have a nice story with that steel and the RD-9. I just pulled the trigger on a Mora Hatchet and the 2000 both in the Orange so they'll match as a nice set. Seriously a great video. I would also like to Wish You a Happy Easter.
love how the knives werent the average gerber/buck bullshit. keep up the good work. oh and by the way love the bear knives, reminds me of tom browns work
The Shrade could have been taken a step up by adding a compass although I don't know how to use perhaps on the end of the knife or on the sheath. Just my thought!😯
Justifier Valor looks Awesome!! What a great looking blade also ya got quite the collection. I own 5 blades and sometimes can't decide which one to take out, if I had all of those I would be stuck at home LOL or weighed down.
Hello Tim, thank you for sharing this fine video. Two thumbs up for the great presentation. Certainly a fine selection of good quality knives. Take care out there. 🤗
+KillerDeegan yeah. needs some thought. dunno if it would increase the pressure of the hobby... plus I'd probably not want to send the knives back hahah
There are so many knives, so many reviews/videos, but I liked seeing some of the lesser known brands by lesser known companies. I liked most of them and would consider looking at them besides the more common fair. Gotta say tho', I have the Schrade SCH55 and for a smaller knife it is amazing. Such a feeling of quality in a small compact blade and just large enough not to feel undersized in my hand. I would still purchase the SCH42. Maybe it seems redundant, but versatility of size is an advantage.
Did You ever see the WAKÒNDA knife? It's a Swiss knife, designed by Jürg Schär and made by Thomas Künzi. It's by far the toughest knife I've ever seen. Got one in 5mm thick D2-Steel - that thing is just awesome. As long as You don't loose it, You'll never need to think about buying another survival-knive again in Your life.... This fact makes it a bit less expensive... ;)

Ontario Rat still going strong for me
I just picked up Becker bk22, really love it a crowbar with an sharp edge
I plan on getting the Ontario rat 7 next
KaBar/Becker BK2
Buck 119 Special
Buck 620 Reaper
Swiss Army Knife
Those are my knives, and they do everything I need them to. I highly recommend them. Also, although you can get knives that are pretty much designed for batoning (like my BK2) using a hatchet is SO much easier and it does the job much better than any knife ever could. For that, I recommend the Fiskars hatchets.
For a little more money I would go with a wooden handle hatchet like the Husqvarna or Marbles
I'll just stick with my BK-9. It's never failed me after 20+ years of hard use. It's been my " go to" knife and why change a good thing? It's a beast of a knife and can do whatever I throw it's way.
My 5 favorite knifes :
5) Kukri
4) M9 bayonet
3) military ballistic knife
2)Chinese combat knife-Tanga
1) Microtech jagdkimmando
That last one is sick maaan
I am planning on picking up a Morakniv bushcraft for my all-purpose knife. So many glowing testimonials for that company. As for a budget-friendly "one-tool option," I chose the Kershaw Camp 10. It's a versatile medium-sized chopper for under $40. Kind of a kurki-style knife with a really comfortable/grippy handle and high-carbon steel blade. Razor sharp out of the box. Many positive reviews. Affordable. Highly recommend.
I don't wish to burst anyone's bubble about knives, But let me say something about knives.
The survival knife is the one you have on you at the time you find your self in a survival situation. Most likely it wont be a belt knife unless your carrying a folding belt knife, which is legal just about every where. This knife was selected by you for its durability and blade strength and most important its ability to stay sharp. This is what your going to rely on!. All else is what you PLAN on taking with you for an outing into the wilderness. If you go down town toting a big Bowie knife on your belt, you can darn near for sure scare someone and the cops will be looking for you.
to carry a knife all the time is to have a need to be discreet!.
I went into a Tractor Supply store a while back and was standing next to a cowboy, wearing a Bowie knife, a revolver, arm guards, a well worn cowboy hat. And boots to match, he really did have a need for these items, his life depended on them. A discreet knife would be a small belt knife, nothing so imposing as to cause alarm a small folder or a straight knife would pass ok.
Survival is what you carry at all times. these are the items you carry with you where ever you go. You are not preparing for an unexpected tour of the wilderness. That why its called SURVIVAL!. Unless you carry a light backpack with the essentials for such an event, where would you carry extra food, a large knife, a light weight bed roll, camp fire starter stuff, an extra sweater etc......
Whats right for an author or a naturalist, a columnist my not be right for you. Before YOU finally settle on the perfect knife, you''ll probably have bought a half dozen of them. My wife has bought me a couple knives and I don't like any of them, except a small well made pocket knife, which would do fine for a survival knife in a pinch.
All that said , I very much like medium to large knives and carry a medium pocket knife.
I am good friends with John Luthy, the designer of the Papa Bear and he is one big guy, hence the big grip. He spent literally 20 minutes explaining the survival applications that went into the design of that knife, drawing from lots of personal experience in the USMC as well as an outdoors-man from Wisconsin. Good video, quick and to the point.
Very cool - great knife - really like that one a lot.
usmc vet here, would love to talk to him , can you send me a link to his channel by chance ?
I support Ontario knives. Cheap made in the USA and I live 20 minutes away. Thanks for giving them a shout out. If your local, you can walk in and get deep discounts right at the factory
Condor is extremely underrated IMO.
Mora molds itself to any user IMO. It's like throwing a set of gel inserts in some uncomfortable boots.
I bought a condor kukri and the condor kephart excellent knives and for under 100 bucks for both you can't beat it
Undoubtedlly yes, but steel snobs with big wallets just dont care, another community ruined by elitism, in condor they worry about performance more than elitism, that why thei stuff is meant for rugged use, as seen by the argentinian whi work daily with their stuff.
Yesterday I came across a website TheLostWays5.blogspot.com that has all the survival methods that will helps you to survive
I heard condor has a big problem with rust
In the Kukri line, I recommend looking into the hand made knives that come from Tora blades, Himalayan Imports and KHHI. KHHI made me a custom kukri and I am beyond happy with it.
I normally avoid knife reviews as I love the few I have and don't have a reason to purchase anything at this time. However, this was an excellent review.

ESEE 6 with pouch on sheath with fishing kit. all cordage on knife and fire steal is 550 fire cord.
that Valor knife is striking in its simplicity and elengance
Agreed . He has unfortunately stopped making knives.
If I walked into 1 store with all of these, I'd be paralyzed by indecision! Lol. I've recently gotten the Mora companion in black. Yes, I ground the spline to 90. Then I used a Verde salsa for a spot patina followed by the Apple cider vinegar. Wrapped the sheath in bank line. All of which I found from TH-camrs. Such a wealth of info out there. The knives turned out great!
I have that Rat 5. Great knife! I took my Dremmel tool and made grooves where my fingers lay. It fits incredibly better! Try it
...Always put my money on TOPS, never been disappoint. Mission Team 21 (personal fav..) and Cochise.. Two thumbs way up.. .02
What a great way to enjoy my morning coffee... Lol
Great vid Tim, there are sooo many options out there, thanks for sharing some with us. Do you have any of Jeff Freeman's knives?
Have you seen the new Mora Garberg which is coming out in the second quarter of this year? Every review I have seen of this knife has impressed me.
Nice! Two of my favorite things, Fixed blade without serrations and a sling shot!
Enjoyed the reviews! I liked you went through the list relatively quickly!! You gave just enough information for each!
I use my issue Marine K-bar it's never let me down in the 52 year's I've had it
Marc Johnson sweet. That’s cool to hear.
Get some devil dog. Love the kbar
Best "survival" knife will ultimately be the one you have on you at the time you are in a "survival" situation...

Nice looking knives. I like my SOG. 5 years old and still has an edge that is razor sharp. My folding pocket knife is a Kershaw. I carry it everywhere. It to still has a great edge and feels good in my hand
I won't lie. I almost drooled when you showed the value know. beautiful. cool video, man!
Straight forward, to the point, no B.S , laymans terms and Very informative for all who enjoy the great outdoors. Subscribed I am of this first video I have seen of yours.
Welcome aboard Steve. You've got my style down - I try to keep to the point and make it helpful so people can make wise choices in their purchases.
I like the Beaker BK2 knives.
the papa bear now that is a knife I would consider buying in the future.
I've been using an 8 inch parang that I picked up from Malaysia for the past 10 years. It does everything I need it to do. Something about all these yahoos saying you need a saw, an axe, and a knife is just stupid and adds more weight to your pack for no reason.
True 👍
Great video and very helpful when I am shopping for new knives. Thanks for the breakdown on every knife and the specifics Tim.
Mark...
Benchmade as it is hollow ground. Fantastic...
That was a really good video / plus i really like the fast pace that you run through everything ( un-like some U-Tubers that are slower than molasses to complete 1 sentence ) subscription added !
Welcome aboard - thanks for the kind words.
i have to say the same. the video had a perfect pace to it and very knowledgeable explanation on each knife. Subscribed!
Thanks guys - welcome aboard and glad the video helped and was enjoyable.
No Becker knives from KA-BAR? I think those are some of the best value around, for the money.
Yeah, these are not the only ones out there that are good, and actually I'm working on a Part 2 to this video - some Ka-Bars in there.
EverydayTacticalVids
Sounds awesome, I look forward to seeing it. Thanks!
I like my Kabar BK16 for bushcraft and camp chores, and carry a Granfors Bruks small forest axe to go with. No knife can chop like an axe. I have a large Nepalese kuhkhuri and there is just no comparison to what the small axe can do.
although I agree most Becker ka-bar knives are combat not camping (but can definitely be used for both) I would recommend the Becker bk 7 or bk9
Agreed- solid blade.
Suggest you have a look at the Condor Bushlore
Finally a video without the overrated Esee : good blade but way too much expensive for what it is. The Kukri is beautiful
Seems like a backyard hero
This is a great video for all of you boys that are trying to survive in your backyard for the first time without your mommy keeping an eye on you. These knives are great for sharpening Popsicle sticks and long sticks for when you have to cook hot dogs over the barbecue in your backyard survival situations. Always be prepared with your bug out bag and your pajamas in case little Johnny invites you to spend the night on a moments notice.
Really neat options you have there. And a few I have never heard of before. Thanks for the review. Really cool blades!
definitely going with the tops kukri. all essential carry in one.
A very good review on a whole variety of survival and bush craft knives.
I was surprised that you didn't include the Becker BK2 or BK16. All the Becker knives are tough and reasonably priced. I really like the looks and price of the SCH42D. I'm going to have to check that one out.
Cool collection. Some interesting designs.
No Ka-bar knives? I'll take a BK-17 all day.
Is that your bucket list Very Cool
Excellent Video of Quality Knives. I do love, adore and cherish my Kabar Bk-2 till the End.
BK-2 man here, I think it is the best all around knife
Right On and my BK-2 has been in my possession 10 years plus.
BK-7 guy here, I think it's the best for camp tasks.
Excellent video - no nonsense, all factual, fascinating range- well done!
Thanks Jonathan - appreciate your kind words.
I love my Flint knapped Knife I made a year ago beautiful cutter and great tool not a real chopper but it's the sharpest thing you can get just like obsidian
I have a Condor Hudson Bay that is a beast and I also use a Knives of Alaska Bush Camp knife when I travel. Good video if just a little fast. keep up the good work.
Excellent channel! I love watching earth, discover and slow down...
Thank you - I appreciate it.
Can't go wrong with Condor!!!
Love them All!! All amasing! All beautyfull! Lucky you man! To have so many knives with you there bro! ☺
All of the blades were brand new. I wonder if he has a friend who owns a knife shop. Nice video!
Excellent video with great details about knives. Probably one of the best I have seen. Thanks
Great video! Introduced me to a few knives I was not familiar with
What about Blackjack knives! No one ever talks about them. I have one and is awesome! The best knife I own. Like to see more videos with these knives. Awesome videos by the way. Keep them coming
Brian Christy I’ll see if I can get one for review in the future
Another nice Condor is the Stratos; rather similar to the Garuda but with a Scandi-grind and hardwood scales.
Love them all! Dam knife fetish flared up again!!! Haha ☠️☠️🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thnx, fixed blade and thick stock built to last. Glad most key mfg going back to this instead of hollow handle fad yrs ago. Worked in grampa's day but for modern steels, thnx
excellent video thank you for the information
+jiujitsu2000 Glad to do it!
+Brendan Richards Solid knife - just didn't have enough time to cover all of the good ones out there.
+Brendan Richards I like the Strongarm from Gerber and also their new S30V Gator hunting knife. From Buck, I can't say a ton - haven't used a lot of their gear.
Great Video! Apologies for chiming in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you thought about - Lammywalness Your Dream Guide (do a search on google)? It is a good one of a kind guide for discovering how to get a a FREE Edt multitool survival tool without the normal expense. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my old buddy Taylor at very last got astronomical success with it.
I did a video on bushcraft knives VS survival knifes
I'm curious about your opinion about my video
I liked what he had to offer. It is just your choice as to what suits you best. Great info!
Paul Parent thanks for watching Paul.
goof banter, concise descriptions.
I have a knives of Alaska bush camp and I love it!
In many years camping in several different countries and states, I have found a plain ordinary machete is more useful and reliable than any hatchet. Of course have a good knife.
Neil Huff is a machete is better than a hatchet for batoning?
Wisely put Sir.
Just signed up,
Hope you offer on the job training for what you show, your showing what they look like an a few spec's is nice for eye appeal. Its to bad that ammo was'nt as easy to order as bushcraft, survival, camping , food prep knifes, a knife for every occasion, a steel selection as well. Reviews are super great but fact is, we all pretty much have to buy knifes until were broke or get lucky and inherit that old hickory when grandpa kicks the bucket that he used and shared with grandma at dinner time. Yea as many knifes as comments, i stopped counting mine a long time ago, like some one said, you cant carry them all, yet i don't even consider selling one. Knife lovers are just that, we are under there spell. So as for me, i say thumbs up and keep showing with the spec's and throw in a little wood occasionally just for good measure. Thanks again I'm sure i will enjoy watching while i clean and sharpen mine, and even see one or two i cant live with out. HAPPY TRAILS !!!
Very good set of knives there pal I might look up some of them myself.
Some good knives there. But realistically the pilot survival knife and Tom Brown tracker are the most popular choices
I like the kukri, I think that with a small Moore backup would be perfect.
Moora
Great video. Although, I think Esee knives should be consider.
enjoyed the vid. It was informative and to the point. Make sure you give ballpark cost on all knives it helps.
Your presentation is AWESOME. Thank you!
Thanks Paul
Tim thanks for your reply, I'm sure your info will be very informative from what I've heard so far, Have a good one!!
Great selection of unique knives
Practical Life Television thanks PLT
I like my Tops Silent Hero.. These ones are sick, too..
Really glad I stumbled across your vlog. Thanks...
Thanks for checking it out.
Cool video. I just have one question. None of those knives look used.... how can you be sure that they are "the best" survival knives if you've never tested them? What if they don't preform how you expect them to? But again, cool video.
***** Well to me a survival knife is a knife that can do everything- small and big stuff. Can make feather sticks for a fire, and can also baton (I never chop with a knife.) And you have to remember that in a real survival situation you might not have a hatchet with you. I know that when I go into the woods I don't always carry one with me. I carry my knife that can, essentially, do the same thing, just not as well. I've been eying the Esee 6 for my next knife, but you say you can build your own knives? Is it expensive? It is difficult? How can I get into something like that?
***** I don't only go into the woods to camp. I don't know about you but when I'm hunting, or on a hike, I don't want to be carrying a tool that I won't be needing unless I get lost and have to spend the night. That's why I don't always carry an axe/hatchet- I'm not going to use it, and it's just extra weight. If I'm going into the woods to camp, then yes, I'm going to bring an axe/hatchet with me. That's why I carry a knife that can, if needed, do more than just small stuff. It can, if it had to, baton/split wood, as well as small things, like feather sticks and gutting fish and game. That way I don't need to carry all those extra tools with me.
Steve Smith Maybe it's possible he tested a different actual knife but of the same model to judge them but used new ones in the video for appearance so people know what it looks like that they might buy.
Great vid. Seems, like the best knife for me would be benchmades
Say Heah Tim, Thanx, great review. I have the Benchmade Bushcrafter #162, F.Y.I. for a very reasonable price, I got the Frog for the Dangler Ring on the sheath from Battle Horse Knives. It matches very good and I really like that sheath alot better now. I also got a similar set to your O.K.C.'s I Got THE Ranger RD-9 and the Afghan both in the 5160 and the Hi-Viz Orange Handles, I have a nice story with that steel and the RD-9. I just pulled the trigger on a Mora Hatchet and the 2000 both in the Orange so they'll match as a nice set. Seriously a great video. I would also like to Wish You a Happy Easter.
Ok great thanks for the reply looking forward to seeing the review.
Nice choice of blades.
Awesome Video Dude. Very Nice Knives. Keep up the great work. Nick.
Thanks Nicholas.
love how the knives werent the average gerber/buck bullshit. keep up the good work. oh and by the way love the bear knives, reminds me of tom browns work
Wow! Great video! Content, research and delivery perfect!
Nice review. I found my next blade!
The Shrade could have been taken a step up by adding a compass although I don't know how to use perhaps on the end of the knife or on the sheath. Just my thought!😯
Justifier Valor looks Awesome!!
What a great looking blade also ya got quite the collection. I own 5 blades and sometimes can't decide which one to take out, if I had all of those I would be stuck at home LOL or weighed down.
Hello Tim, thank you for sharing this fine video. Two thumbs up for the great presentation. Certainly a fine selection of good quality knives. Take care out there. 🤗
Thanks for checking it out.
Love that kukri in minute 7
Awesome review mate, short and to the point. Subscribed.
Thanks - and welcome aboard.
Love videos like this - always give me new knives to find and test on my channel!
+KillerDeegan I'm looking at the Buck Compadre knife as a companion to the A1 and liking its look
+KillerDeegan ahh i dunno I don't trust Australia Post enough with everyones knives getting here and back!
+KillerDeegan Also, yes, Ive had my eye on either that Sog or the NW ranger
+KillerDeegan yeah. needs some thought. dunno if it would increase the pressure of the hobby... plus I'd probably not want to send the knives back hahah
There are so many knives, so many reviews/videos, but I liked seeing some of the lesser known brands by lesser known companies. I liked most of them and would consider looking at them besides the more common fair. Gotta say tho', I have the Schrade SCH55 and for a smaller knife it is amazing. Such a feeling of quality in a small compact blade and just large enough not to feel undersized in my hand. I would still purchase the SCH42.
Maybe it seems redundant, but versatility of size is an advantage.
have u seen the kubey there about9 inch full tang in d2 i have 3 made in china but there great little blades get on amonzon
nice looking knifes
The best knife, one you are willing to carry. Sometimes scissors are a better choice.
Very nice knives...Be checking some out!!
Great Video! Straight to the point!
I think you should check the g.i tanto by Cold Steel. Carbon blade (full tang) which makes every chop easier..
Great video, thanks!
I was watching this while I'll was on the toilet
Same, just ten months later.
Always good 2 know..💩..
Did it all come out ok or did you need your bugout bag
I my god me too. Like right now. I just pinched one off.
i just did a massive turd and noticed worms in my poo.....is that normal?
short sweet and to the point thanx brother keep it up
always dug the shit out of your vids you never pull punches and you say what you feel. Don't cave in to any supliers and keep up the killer work
I'm going to order several of these products. Thanks bro!
Did You ever see the WAKÒNDA knife?
It's a Swiss knife, designed by Jürg Schär and made by Thomas Künzi.
It's by far the toughest knife I've ever seen.
Got one in 5mm thick D2-Steel - that thing is just awesome.
As long as You don't loose it, You'll never need to think about buying another survival-knive again in Your life....
This fact makes it a bit less expensive... ;)
