I liked that he touched on the fact that 99% of soldiers aren't going to be using knives in combat, so many people are fixated on it being a weapon instead of a useful tool to accomplish mundane tasks.
You will be using it in combat but you won't be using it for combat 99%
say that to the ww1 trench fighters
@@1594simonsays say that to Napoleonic soilders
The use of "fighting knives" is rare, but a bayonet is more common than you'd think. When you're doing CQB (this goes for home defense as well) you want a bayonet to discourage the enemy from grabbing your rifle. It's usefulness is equally psychological. A few "muzzle thumps" is enough to incapacitate someone, but a muzzle device alone (except maybe the Ak-12 brake/glass breaker) does not have the "sharp object do not grab it" factor.
This man's take on knives is superb. He is unsure about the steel composition, but he knows the steel is good or not as he actually used them. It's very refreshing just see a guy who just uses his equipment and not a knife nerd do a video on blades. Very cool.
I’m a mix of both. I do nerd out pretty hard on knives, steel type, grinds so on. But I actually use em daily due to where I live and my job.
The last video i watched just now was of a knife nerd , showing nearly a hundred knives and hardly used three of them... but the knives were really cool.
Right? I have a pretty sweet collection but haven't done jack lol.
COME ON MAN, WE NEED OUR NERDS TOO !!!
He's also honest about which knives were bought solely because he thought they were cool, like the Fairbairn Sykes. You can see it's still in pristine condition.
A old friend of mine, recently deceased, was a Royal Marine Commando from the mid 1950's to the early 1960's. His Fairburn Sykes saved his life while on a jungle patrol in Borneo. He was the last man in the file (back marker?) when he got blind sided and tackled by a bad guy . He lost his weapon, found himself on his back with his attacker on top of him, trying to stab him. He said that due to the intensity and quality of the training he had undergone he never even had to think about what to do. He blocked the attacker's knife arm, grabbed his F/S from his boot and stabbed the chap in the abdomen just under the rib cage. He confided to me that this was the only kill that ever bothered him; he would occasionally have nightmares about it. As you alluded to in the video, the F/S is an iconic weapon. Great video; I really enjoyed it 👍
Okay I watch a LOT of knife videos on UA-cam but this is hands down the coolest! For me knives are just a hobby but seeing which knives (several of which I own) a real life professional commando has carried over his career is absolutely fascinating and inspiring. Thank you Coch for your service!
Yeah it is cool but I highly doubt he's ever actually used the knives in combat to dispatch an attacker. Hell honestly people would be surprised by just how little of even these spec ops guys ever even see combat. The number is very small, especially co.oared to how many spec ops guys there are or anyone else in combat roles
Also since he's in special forces and all these knives were junk that they issued him, idk why he wouldn't just buy a good one he trusted bc you can definitely do that when in special forces. They get to decide what gear they use for the most part unless still in training. I kind of blows my mind the the government spends millions on just training one of these spec ops guys yet they give them the shittiest equipment to use that could end up getting them killed lol. Most of these knives you can get for like 10 to 30 bucks and God only know the steel they are using on the knives. Prob 8cr13 or some other junk steel.
@@josephlilley9249 If politicians were involved, who knows what the selection process was? Which contractor gave the lowest price, most kickback or was in the right district? A knife is a knife, right?
Best Bushcraft Knife I found is a Box cutter.
@@josephlilley9249
A serious l one would have a Randall Made Knife or two , the issued stuff other then the Cold Steel SRK and KaBar are junk and it seem odd that a KaBar with leather would be used as a under water Budds Blade 🤔
SEALS are way over hyped, except Green Beret and SOG of Vietnam, almost every one was a combat soldier 🪖
out in that jungle and a knife was a weapon more then it was a tool and in those WWI & II wars they had knives designed just for combat. 💥💥⛄💥💥
This is probably one of the most chill no bullshit knife vids out there... it was a pleasure to watch
As a former Royal Marine (1970) we still were taught knife fighting. The Fairbairn knife was last issued in the falklands war 1982 I believe. Fairbairn preferred a bright blade because of the psychological effect it had on an opponent. I have one issued at home. You will find WW2 blades that will have a flat filed on the handle. Soldiers did that so they were sure of its orientation when they pulled it out in the dark to take down a sentry,. Interesting video.
I also have a ghurka kukhri , British issue. They are still regarded as a primary weapon. ghurkas frightened the crap out of Taliban.
@@TheWorldRealistA ghurka whiteout weapons are scary, a ghurka with a firearm is even more scary but a ghurka with a kukhri is absolutely terrifying to the core of your soul.
The SUREFIRE knife you showed is model EW-05 and it’s
a true gem made out of CPM-3V!
My Iraq deployment knife was the Benchmade nimraveus. Awesome knife, still have it.
I was pleased to hear him comment on the glock FM78. The Glock FM78 has recently been tested to be the strongest most versatile military knife in its class. IMO its a masterpiece and will out collect the Gerber MkII as it is more versatile, stronger and more legal in more countries. I have 2 one of which I use heavily around camp, and 4 more on the way!
hahahahaha 16:08 hilarious caught me off guard laughing. Love the Dorr tie ins
"Sharpest thing that Dorr can touch." 🤣🤣🤣
I've served in the Army just over 20 years now and I have a pretty nice knife and firearms collection. I have some of the same fighting, diving and folding knives that you have. Thanks for sharing your collection, it's cool to see we think alike on knives.
Been waiting and waiting for this one……and it’s finally here! And 16:10 was just the icing on the cake. Thanks Coch!
I was just an infantryman in the Army. For a field knife I bought an old M7 M16/A1 bayonet which was perfect for every task from opening MREs to cutting 550 cord. It had the black M10 plastic scabbard very solid, it was attached to my LBE, it was safe for jumping airborne operations, never interfered with doing a bad PLF either. My longest carry pocket knife is the Cold Steel Voyager with a Tanto point. I bought this one at Ft. Lewis PX back in 2002 and took it with me to Iraq for 2 combat tours 2006-08 and still as my everyday carry knife today. On my duty belt for work I carry the Gerber Multi Tool which I got from working with the US Air Force Combat Arms back in 2002-04 helping their Security Forces in qualifying with M16A2/M4 Carbines, machine guns, and pistols. This also included enlisted Airman, Air Crews, Officers, and Officer Pilots. I loved these knives because they were all useful also to clean heavy weapons like the .50 Cal and M240 Bravos to scrape off carbon using the dull portion of the blades. The Gerber was useful for that.
Coch-I never had military experience, but it was gratifying to find we have both arrived at the same conclusions. I have carried a pocketknife since I was 7 (65 years ago), and have a collection of over 100 knives, including most of what you showed. While I was attracted to Bowies for awhile, they seem too big except in some situations (elk hunting, for butchery). I have tended towards lighter and smaller knives, and love my Kabar USMC, my Cold Steel Voyager folder, my Mora, and my EDC is a 2.5" lockback. I think ACCESS is as critical as overall capability: the kydex sheaths that grip and release make a 4" sheath knife much handier. Thanks for sharing from your hard experience, and thank you for your service.
Liked your post. My grandpa gave me a Boy Scout knife when I was quite young- not yet a teen. I have had a knife on me since then, and I’m now 74. I’m not really a collector, but more of an accumulator. It doesn’t feel right not having one in my pocket. Gramps taught me how to sharpen a knife and an ax, and how to properly use them. I still have my grandfather’s two-blade Case, which according to the code on the knife was made in about 1933. Sometimes I carry it just cuz. I’m now a grandfather myself. Can’t wait for my two boys to get old enough that their mother will let me give them their own knives, and tell them “When I was a boy” stories.
would love to know every single knife in the video for research purposes pls
About time I see Coch's bladeware! Awesome stuff
Merry Christmas Coch, and to all the tactical hyve crew!
Great video, I enjoyed seeing all the knives & have a few. 1 knife I bought as a rookie cop was the Benchmade Emerson Cqc7 tanto folder, because Dick Marcinko talked about it in his books! 👍🏻
Extremely ironic timing. I had one for about 35 years but hardly ever carried it.
Gave it to a good friend a couple weeks ago. He loves it.
Man this was just straight up a good time. Also puts into perspective the options we have nowadays. Thanks!
Nice to know he was over here 🇬🇧 with our lot 🫡.
Absolutely amazing content.
30 years as a small boat/ship Boatswains Mate in the USCG, I can say the 3-4” blade was the most useful blades I carried. Not too thick and something that was easy to sharpen was best…super steels are tough to re-sharpen. Carried many folders, but I carried a Ontario RAT 3 for years and gave it to a new Boatswains Mate 3rd class on a ship when I retired.
I own many knives usually I prefer a large fixed blade but man that rat 3 is a badass knife for how small it is I love mine use it all the time
Knife will help against bear in a bush ?
My dad used an AF survival knife, said all aircrews got em in the early 80s.
Thank you. Your content and presentation is always top notch.
Great video, I like the history and your no nonsense opinion about the knifes you were issued. As a British veteran, we got issued bayonets which were crap lol. I did carry a pocket Victorinox soldier’s knife, for many years. Great little pocket knife.
Victorinox has now since few years, a new design of pocket knifes... i life in switzerland, and i like the new design, little bit bigger and a knife lock...
This video was fantastic!! Thanks for sharing Sir!!! And much appreciated for your services to our Country. Thank you.
I did much enjoyed this video and appreciate your time in service; plus your appreciation for cold steel sirs. Happy Holidays and thank you..!
EK commando was / is my choice of a defensive knife. As far as an EDC type knife, I have carried the same exact Opinel #7 for over 30 years.. It has done everything ever asked of it. I have also carried the same exact 1911A1 .45acp sidearm since about 1985.. Familiarity to me , is an absolute must in a combat situation. My hands just have the muscle memory to know where things are at.. Sidearm, Spare Mags, blade 1 and blade 2 etc.
"Repetition creates efficiency "
Great content as always, looking forward to that knife that is in development.
Incredible video. Thank you for taking the time to make it. As a writer these types of things are extremely helpful. I’m not a vet but I’ve dabbled in martial arts and personally I really like the Kabar knives I have, from a more “tactical” perspective, but it’s always cool to get those realistic reminders that a knife is more of a tool.
Great video! Very in-depth detail about each and how they were carried and there pro's &cons. 💯 Look forward too seeing more 💯
Great breakdown of various knife designs for your particular application. As a knifemaker, I spend most of my time in the shop and not as much time as I'd like testing different designs. "Tactical" doesn't necessarily mean practical. Your advice is valuable because it is from real world experience. Thank you.
😂 thank you. Very entertaining. Was a sharp discussion, on an Edgy subject. Somehow you cut right to the point. Learning about shaved buffalo horn as a coagulant.. adds to my invincibility 😎
Good stuff 👍. Thank you for keeping us safe!
Fantastic collection!
That is a nice collection of knifes. I'm excited about a Tactical Hyve knife coming out in the future. I would recommend Cold Steel's Espada XL for your collection. It is ridiculous, but that is part of its charm. Also, like the Vaquero it carries well despite the size.
I've watch many knife videos, but this one is Great. It's just a no-nonsense video of "these are My knives and what I think of them thru actual experience. I'm subscribed!
Love the shot of Jeff Pain, rest in peace Pain.
Great stuff, Coch!! Thanks!!
Refreshing to listen to a confident, knowledgeable expert and not some BS artist! Im a knife collector and enjoy seeing other's collections. Thanks for your service.
Nice knife collection. Love the stories. Merry Christmas
Coch, you’re my favorite person in the world to listen to! Liked and subscribed. Keep sending us this awesome content.
Excellent info. Great presentation told by someone who is the real McCoy. That is why the story just flowed out naturally.
No bullshit script.
Fantastic bit of info, seeing your collection. Mad on knives like me😁👍🇬🇧thanks for sharing coch ❤️❤️💪😉really love the sbs dagger from my part of the world,,, Sheffield 😋✌️stay safe my friend and keep the content coming in 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️
That was very interesting. I enjoyed hearing your perspective on each model. Also, thank you for your service.
It scares me to think that the "grappling hook" knife actually got to the point of actually being issued. Like, nobody ANYWHERE in that knife's development thought it was a bad idea?!
TO CLARIFY, IT WAS NOT INTENDED TO BE A GRAPPLING HOOK FOR ABSEILING OR CLIMBING. IT WAS INTENDED TO BE A "GRAPPLING HOOK" ANCHOR POINT FOR THE CRRC BOATS. IT WAS TO BE EMPLOYED AS AN ANCHOR TO SECURE THE BOATS TO A ROCK JETTY. THE FACT THAT THE HOLE THAT THE ROPE IS TIED TO IS ONLY 3/16 OF AN INCH IN DIAMETER, FOR 550 CORD, IS A SOUND INDICATION THAT IT WAS NOT MEANT FOR CLIMBING. NOBODY IS CLIMBING WITH 550 CORD BUT IT WAS SUFFICIENT AS A MOORING LINE TO KEEP THE CRRC FROM DRIFTING AWAY. EXFILTRATION WOULD BE A REAL PROBLEM IF THE BOAT IS GONE WHEN YOU RETURN TO IT.
@@DowntownDeuce2 but you could do that with a stick instead of carrying around a very mall ninja esque anchor ⚓knife 🗡 🤔 !!!??? Ounces =Pounds.... pounds = VA % points
@@DowntownDeuce2 terrific. Now they could blame the knife for a boat that floated off. 😆
Management 101: you're uninformed ideas are better than the years of practical experience of those you manage. Yale grade management.
Very interesting and awesome collection there sir 🇺🇸👍🤙
I really enjoyed this video, very educational. I'm fascinated by military knives and collect some but it's so important to hear from someone who was issued them and what they had to say. Greetings from Newfoundland!
This was fantastic, really enjoyed, thanks
Super excited to see what comes out of your brothers shop, knives designed by people who actually use them are next level
This bloke has so much character!! Love it
Great video Coch, as usual. Love your casual style, and that Dorr cameo almost made me spit out my coffee. Well played!
Outstanding demo. Thank you
Great stuff! I've got that same Cold Steel and it's a tank--generally way more than I want to have on my belt but it's great as a camp knife.
Crazy how the horn handle from the Phillipines knife could be shaved down to make an anticoagulant.
Also, your voice and delivery is great. You seem intense, but friendly. Like a badass neighbor.
Awesome video, I really enjoyed it.
Interesting collection. I am sure in every profession, every individual team, group, division, etc., that people have chosen specific knives as their "go to blade". Even in the military, uniformity is often based on the desire for something better. You had a few winners and a few duds.
Often times, people will say, "This is what they used" or "This is what was issued", but it's nice to hear from those who were there. Your video proves that it's not always the same and things change over time or from place to place, team to team or for any reason.
There are a lot of people that claim they "taught Marines or they provided "blank" to guys in Special Forces, but often times their contribution and association was limited. It makes for interesting history to recognize the exceptions and unique solutions and choices. Your video was very interesting and yet a relaxing look back.
You really crack me up... Happy Holidays!
Coch, you're so fun to watch, man! God bless you and your family!
Thank you for your service and the knife knowledge.
Just found this channel. Great stuff, amigo. Subbed and liked.
We have the Bowie knife now the Cochiolo knife. May it be just as legendary.
Hey Coch, been watching you for the last year. You are ON POINT. I have learned so much more from your videos on pistol shooting, gear, etc. And your rec on the SCAR-H was right on--I got one based on your ongoing praise. It is a great platform and congrats for your work on that program. When I was in the Army, I quickly learned to listen to the Elders for they have the Wisdom. I also learned to recognize bullshit from 1500 meters away--a skill that has saved my bacon on many an occasion. You are the real deal, Coch. I know I can listen and learn and not have to filter out the bravado and puffery. Thanks for the facts and keep up the great work.
Respect from England use to collect blades great collection
What the hack? One of the coolest knife "speed reviews" I´ve ever seen. There are more useful knife informations in here than you probaply see when you looking other videos for hours.
Thank you man, enjoyed every second!
Best regards
Awesome vid, fun info, thanks
Excellent video. Thank you for your service.
A brilliant review. No BS.
Thank you for your service
Coch when your co-lab with your brother comes out I would be super interested and guessing others also. Hope you guys let us all know when . Awesome video
I was seeking a stainless steel blade heavy-duty hunting knife. Suddenly I saw a knife that brought my attention to it and I bought it. The knife is very good and the stainless steel blade is very sharp. The knife handle is made of pure wood and the handle is really non-slip. I am very satisfied with my purchase from Alf Knives

Nice collection and insight of knives used by the SEAL teams. Thanks for sharing
Love your content and bro you are awesome!
First time viewer now sub. Great job on explaining the utility uses of your blades and yes, every knife lover appreciates the cool factor of several of the knives we own.
This was a great video. So concise and easy to understand. Especially for a civilian like me. Thanks.
Very much so enjoyed that.
thank you for sharing your experience!
Merry Christmas Coch! God bless!
Merry Christmas to you and your family. Thank you.
Christmas came early! Was waiting to see Coch knives!
Thank you sir for this video. It was really informative.
Great video as always👍👍👍👍👍.
There is a general move to multitools and smaller fixed blades I think. Especially with how just about every thing is in plastic nowadays. When my brother got in I gifted him a ceremonial custom KABAR with a wall plaque as tradition dictates in my side of the family and then a Leatherman Supertool and he told me "That was the most useful tool I had".
Love love love it! Great to see the wide range of knives and hear actual “user review”. I carry a fixed adamas, yojimbo 2 and Turner L-Via (fixed Emerson Elvia). The adamas is awesome but use it for hard use tasks. The yojimbo 2 is for normal cutting like boxes and stuff and doesn’t scare people. The L-Via I carry after taking Ed’s Weaponology class and needed something to appendix carry. I want to switch out the Yojimbo 2 with the doughnut looking Civivi from bladehq. It’s the only knife my daughter wanted for Christmas…even after I made an awesome lucha with flyti handles for her lol. I guess looking good always trumps practical use right lol. I just ordered the mini hawk from the forged in fired guys and want to see how I can throw that. I’ve been trying throwers but can’t seem to get them to stick to anything lol.
There's a saying a Vietnam vet friend of mine always says "Go with the bro who really knows". Can't think of better feedback on a knife than a Navy Seal who has used it either in training or in field. Nice history lesson. For those who know the blades you can see the progression of knife design & especially the steels during Coch's service. The early blades really did have basic/crap steel (high carbon or basic stainless) & compensated by being overbuilt. Modern powder metallurgy has been a win for modern operatives. Many modern stainless steels are both tough and hold an edge - did someone say Magnacut? Sharp blades all.
TY FOR UR SERVICE SIR., DANG KNIVES ARE COOL !!!
knice stuff man great vid keep up the good work
Cool stuff! I have a massive appreciation for all types of weaponry so I appreciate seeing some cool history
Great input on the styles. Thank ya
I'm seeing the Recruiter soon. Trying to prep on different subjects.
Super video.
Thank You
Enjoyed the video and professional and honest presentation of all the knives. Didn't see one I'd care to own, but hey, I'm a fisherman and camper not a soldier. Mora and Bark River are the ones I beat the snot out of in the field. Thanks for your honest review.
Great video!
Great job 👍
Awesome video thanks!
Some solid info thank you
Great review.
This guy "Chooch?" Is a delight to listen too! Very "Real" A true character! Great video! Dah Man! Thank you, J
Thanks Coch and Merry Christmas! 🎄 🔪 🇺🇸
Love this video
Efficiency is anything that works! That smaller US Divers knife is a great knife. So are a few others you mentioned. Thanks.
Really liked the ‘practicality’ of this video. Thanks.
Watching this on Christmas Day and lit right up a few times when you held up some of my small collection.
The SRK and the TRAILMASTER, both in CARBON V still get regular use around here. But I almost fell off my couch when you held up the
VAQUERO GRANDE !
It does make ya grin. 👊😎
