Survive Knives is a sore subject for a lot of people. The owner closed the business and filed bankruptcy after taking over $100k in orders from customers and never delivering the knives. Then, he took the metal for the knives he was supposed to send out and was caught selling them to local buyers. Jacob B Peterson talks about it best. ua-cam.com/video/fhuy-WDwDE8/v-deo.html The owner is a convicted Felon who was imprisoned in 1999 for selling stolen firearms in Gettysburg , PA.
@@roostershooter76 I do understand that. Someone sent it in to see how hard it was. I did just that. Guy may be a real piece of work...but he knows how to make a knife
@@apex_alchemy_knives Personally, I don't care if he could build a Ferrari, I'm not giving him money or advertising his knives after he treated so many people so wrong. Not to mention he took $30k from Heavysettactial, who was his business partner for a short time.
@@roostershooter76 i learned how dumb pre-ordering knives was with Elijah Isham. I'm not sure if you've noticed but I don't do a whole lot of shilling here. A couple of other things I don't do is avoid a knife because of controversy or seek permissions on what and how I test. I understand that some people will be be too sensitive for that and they may not be able to stomach my content. I'm gonna have to live with who can and choose to be here...because the day I'm concerned about hurting feelings is the day you inherit another fair weather channel that invites the circle to fawn over the latest $50 civivi...I may even fake an attitude and act a little too optimistic..I say you have enough if that to keep you bust so we can agree ...we can disagree...but if 5 more survive knives get shipped to me tomorrow from a viewer who's wondering about the heat treat...I'm gonna test them. Prepare yourself accordingly. I am not willing to change how or what I do for this community as a whole. Meanwhile , thank you for your interaction. If you don't take away anything else from this channel...pre-orders are a horrible idea...especially with small knife makers. I'm a small knife maker and you'll never see anything for sale by me that I don't have in my hand yet. That's the only thing that I can do to help this situation. 😎
@@apex_alchemy_knives understandable but I don’t think Survive deserves any respect after how they treated their customers. I do understand your point though
Oof! The TSK’s going to be the ’one that got away’ for me. It’s a beaut! And a collector’s item at this point for sure. 🦄💜
60 on a nice fixed blade like that would suite me just fine.
Solid content, thanks for sharing.
@@geraldroberts4721 you bet , thanks for watching
Wow didn’t know what to expect but felt very good when sharpening. I'm not into the politics either but the knife is very well made.
@@malcolmholt2010 yes it absolutely is sir
I was going with 58 too. 60 is a decent number.
@@rustyknifelover4463 great minds think alike ..but I think they stick all nuts in a bucket too.
Peter's, I think. So it should come out about like BRK
@@andrewfournier8817 😎🤘🤘
Not even up to date on the controversy. HRC 60 looks good to me on this fixed blade.
@@tombrown4683 yeah I feel good about that number too.

Collectors item
@@loosieclocker pretty much !
not really into survive no matter how good they are
@@kathleensmith370 I understand, but if I were to refuse a knife because of my personal griefs with the company ...I'd not have a channel 🤣🤣
@@apex_alchemy_knives understandable but I don’t think Survive deserves any respect after how they treated their customers. I do understand your point though
@@kathleensmith370 100% agree. There's one more tomorrow , just a heads up. I'll understand if you skip it. We can still be homies. 😎💯
