Hello There! I will not be making a chopper in any type of stainless steel. No stainless grade has the shock resistance I would want for that type of application. We will soon be offering the CPM-3V blades with a variety of coating options though, which will enhance the corrosion resistance. The steel doesn't stain too badly in any case and can readily be cleaned up with #0000 steel wool if you do get some stains on it.
I’d love to have a 3V chopper. What I have in mind is basically an El Chete with a flared pommel. Survive!, if you make this it will sell, I’ll buy one for sure.
That 5 series looks like it should eat the BK2 for lunch. Keep up the great work Guy.
I just received a photo of that blade I think. Really nice work. For an outdoor knife I really like to keep the hardness around 60Rc. It has outstanding toughness and great edge holding at that hardness, with the heat treat Peter's does. I offer the stainless option for something more corrosion resistant than CPM-3V. I will be offering CPM-20CV as my stainless option moving forward, as it maximizes corrosion resistance and edge holding, while still having good toughness for a stainless grade.
A few Days Ago I preordered the 2015 version of the GSO 7/7 Looking forward.Its arrival ,Hopefully this year.My GSO10 took 8 months to arrive but was worth the Money and the wait.. Thanks Survive!
We have begun delivering knives as the sheaths have been arriving. A good many have been delivered, with more going out tomorrow. As long as the sheath supplies hold up I should have most everything out this week.
So glad TNP exposed me to Survive Knives. Cant wait to pick up a 4.1!
Guy that was an impressive demo, 'tough steel and fine blades great combination for a working knife. Thanks
It is a multi step tumbled finish. Two hours of tumbling to produce the stone washed finish and another two hours in a different media to brighten it up a bit.
Awesome field test can't wait to get the 5.1 I ordered and try some cutting of my own
Can't wait to pick up a GSO 4.1 when the new batch is ready, love what you guys are doing!
Thanks for you're fast reaction, I still love the blade so I will be thinking about when the coating is here.
Just got my GSO 5, love it.
Hey Chris, I would say that someone just didn't fully tighten the back barrel after aligning the front screw. Although the current single length screws don't completely fill the center and back barrel, there are enough threads engaged for a full strength hold. If you continue to have an issue, just unscrew them and put some medium lock-tight on the threads. Like I said, we will soon begin offering variable length screw kits in 440C, which will completely fill all of the screw barrels.
Hey there, this CPM-20CV we'll soon begin using was initiated by me and is a Crucible product, independent of any other company. Even when it was originally released as duratech 20CV by Latrobe, Crucible still actually produced the steel.
Possible for discount on the gso knives for active duty military?!
Love the knives and how durable they are, would make a great attachment for my flack vest.
Yep, they sure will be. We are currently working on depleting the single length fasteners in 416 but as soon as those are gone we'll be making the switch and offering the new variable length fasteners in 440C on the website.
Merry Christmas Guy to you & yours up there pal
We shoot for around 20-22 degrees per side but that is an eyeballed estimate.
It is a Casio Protrek PRW-5100. Outstanding watch.
Did not know you were a fellow south paw, love the GSO 4.1!
CPM-3V is a high alloy tool steel, that is not a stainless grade. It won't rust up like a high carbon steel(1095, O-1 and the like) but it will develop freckles and eventually pit in a humid environment or if not regularly maintained. My initial thoughts on the flint is no but I will give it a whirl sometime to verify.
Hahaha! That's more like a 13. Yeah, I should have time to get those protos finished up soon. I'll shoot some photos and video when they are done. Just locked down a TW-90 for prototyping work, so it should turn out pretty darned nice.
Hey, thanks for the idea. I certainly will open some soup cans and perhaps some larger cans, that might be suitable for a larger hobo stove in an emergency. Things like nails and bolts though are an entirely different animal and I would strongly discourage any one from trying to cut any sort of high strength alloy or hardened material. I've seen a good sets of lineman's pliers jaws bend around a high quality thick gauge nail or bolt. Out of space, I'll continue...
Guy with the reviews and work you put your knives through. Anyone doing their own review is just waiting their time. I know my gso10 and 4.1 in s90v can handle pretty much anything I can throw at em. That's why I bought em.
Oh sweet. Thanks for thefast reply
Great knives and GREAT MUSIC!!! 🤘😈
yeah guy. your knives are top notch. waiting to get my hands on a 5.1 I got a 4.1 let me know when the 5.1 are coming perfect size knife in my opinion. Thanks.
Hey there, we've been talking about a side by side like that. It will just take a good bit of time and effort, to get them all to the same spec, so a comparison would be valid. Perhaps once we catch up with production stuff a bit though. The ferro notch does NOT compromise the blade strength in any way at all. The tumbled spine is generally more comfortable to use without hard edges and it looks better. I personally prefer the tumbled spine but they can easily modified to a hard spine.
I would love to see a hard square spine offered for a true multi purpose survival knife. From scrapping tree bark for tinder to using a ferro rod. It would be the clincher for me.
Yo tengo el gso 6 una máquina lo mejor de lo mejor hoy máster
I have never been able to buy a knife through survive knives so I had to pay a fortune on secondary market. Love everything about the design and the actual grippy micarta. I don't regret spending the money. It's ok that I have to live in a cardboard box now.
Your knives rock! Bit of a wait but well worth it. Bar none, best on the market. Cheers!!
If i remember correctly, 20CV is a DuraTech product, not Crucible (CPM). Great vid tho. Hopefully I can check out the 7/7 when it comes out.
Haha! I knew you were going to post THAT video. That knife is made of Vandals 23, hardened to 63Rc. Those few extra rockwell points of attainable hardness, compressive strength of the alloy and a thick edge give it an advantage over the bolt. Aside from that steel not being commercially available in sheet form, the extremely high hardness would make it very hard to maintain the edge.
Continuing: Early in development I made a few knives that could survive being beaten through a bolt. They needed a really thick edge, which just isn't suitable for cutting the other 99.9 percent of things a person cuts every day. Wanting to make a functional and usable hard use knife, that is suitable for a wide variety of cutting tasks, I just tell people not to cut hardened materials rather than grossly overbuilding the blade. Hope that was explanation enough. I'm out of letters again.
The phone book cinched in. I just ordered a 7/7 on your site.
Guy, I know you keep getting asked and excuse me if I missed it but what is going on with the GSO 3.5.... I cannot wait to get a small bushcraft knife from Survive!
We are still working on the details. Don't have any dates, but stay tuned! Thanks for the interest and support!
When is the GSO 18 gonna come out?
So far the Casio Protrek (previously Pathfinder) has been one of the best values in a watch I have ever owned. I'll never own anything else. They take any type of abuse I've ever thrown at them. Honestly the only reason I get a new one sometimes is because I get an itch to buy the latest design. lol
This may be asking a lot and I don't expect you to ever do it but if you're ever out of ideas and in the mood I would like to see you pit all the top steels against each other just so we can get an idea of how they all compare. Maybe clash the blades against each other to see which one is tougher. Bend til break to see how much weight is required to break or bend a blade. I'm also curious, instead of putting a ferro notch possibly weakening the spine, why not just square off the back?
I have seen a few revies on your knives. These are fanstastic... I see order time is a little openended. If I order one. 4.1 can it be shipped to the UK?
I think i just found my new favorite knife maker & tattoo lol
Thumbs up for the knife , thumbs down for the music.
Yeah I feel you on that one. We won't feature any overbearing music throughout our videos ever again, I promise.
The steel is Vanadis 23, sorry trying to respond from my cell.
I bought a Gso 4.1 and broke it out last weekend doing some Batoning. I really enjoyed using the knife. I was wondering when the time comes to sharpen, what angle do you put on the Gso 4.1.
440c hardware, custom length screws, enlarged hidden lanyard and thinner edge? I appreciate the tiny details guy. On a side note are with the screws being upgraded I'm assuming prices would go up for another 5 or 10 bucks. Am I wrong?
man I wish I could afford one of these!! Outstanding knives!!
Nice knives gonna grab a 5.1 all OD but whats this band pretty gnarly
NICE!! I love PA. innovation & your knives are awesome well done pal.
Wow I wish I had the money to get any of your knives!!!
I shlda told the pub you sent me the food was excellent
Guy, check out a band called Abolish the Echelon here on UA-cam their music is right up you alley...
Great videos and details as always!
On a more serious note I own a GSO 4.1 in M390 which I put a zero convex on and it is a joy to use.
Have you ever tried running cpm3v @ 62-64 hrc for the smaller blades? (no need for you to buy another type of steel?)
I like M390 and cpm3v for their fine grained carbides and that they roll rather than chip...
Thank you for the great stuff you put out and for understanding stuff like: lets make a handle that is comfortable but not slippy... Kudos!
Yeah Man, They certainly do have some great food.
Guy, I received the casio protrek. Wheew that thing ain't cheap but I can't believe how accurate it is as well as its build quality. One question though, I'm not going to baby the watch and in your experience how well does it stand against mother nature?
Guy, regarding your current and upcoming new fasteners. How vibration resistance are they? I noticed when I semi-abuse my gso 4.1 the middle screw moved about 180 degrees. My thought was because it's shorter than the rest.
I really think your testing lacks a "slightly" overweight guy stabbing the gso # into a horse head, I mean how can I trust your product otherwise?
Really amazing knives. Thanks!!
Hey when will the new GSO 4.1s be available in s90v again? I just looked on the site and they are sold out! I'm so upset. I saved up enough to finally get one and they are gone! I hope they will be back soon!
But can it skin and butcher an animal, and be used for food prep?
Will the new fasternes be available for (separately) purchase?
Any word on the gso 5? Last I heard you were still waiting on sheathes.
love your knives, but i cant get it here in malaysia....
Thanks for the support and for watching!
Unfortunately, no. Those CPM-S90V blades sold out really quickly.
Hey man,
I was wondering, are you going to get the GSO 10 in a stainless steal because i want to use it in winter in sweden for a few weeks. So it will be verry humid and the blade will get wet. Or will the CPM 3V be fine in that condition if i keep it oiled and dry it after using?
Will the CPM-20CV be at least as tough as the S90V?
I want the 5.1 soooo bad!!!
I want to strip one of my knives, what polish is on that knife?
What a great knife, I wish I could afford one. I'm a buyer at $50-75. lol
Hahaha! That's exactly what my cnc machining guy said. We had a pretty good laugh about it also.
We don't have them in the plans at this moment, but that doesn't mean it won't ever happen. Stay tuned...
Any more S90V 4.1s coming?
Do you have any more s90v GSO 4.1 knives left?
When will the 5.1 be ready?
Justin Noe Those are reaching the last stages of production. You should start to see some teaser images in a few weeks, with units beginning to ship out a couple of weeks after that.
They are available for sale on our website and we are down to limited quantities! Thanks for watching!
GSO 7/7 COME ON LETS SEE
if you wanted to make a hole in wood you could just get a drill and a paddle bit
Man I wish I could afford that 5.1
Do you ship to austria to ?
440C? Hahah...I like your competitiveness. Not to put down 440C as a knife but when you said that it's like you telling your competition you use 440C? I use them as my fasteners for my knives and has a better sheath...and is about the same price
Man....you're a smart mother@#!&#. You gathered all the great knife designs and made it unique. And I bet you looked at every knife manufacturers weaknesses and made that into your own advantage via materials, sheath and marketing. This might be a long shot but I think the only thing that you're missing is a patented survive! steel. Maybe you can make crucible make one only for your use and name it CPM survive! Lol
Sooo, a sword?
Gso 18? Hahah....guy, I know your hiding that gso machete proto that you made. Can the public see the end result?
Thanks for watching!
This ain't gram-pa's 1095 steel
Don't stab your leg! o_O
Hahaha! Nice.
Gave you a thumb down for that loud annoying music. I don't mind any background music, but turn it down.. damn.
Haha! I hear you on that. We aren't using those people for media anymore, so no worries. We are really looking forward to bringing all of our media and stuff in house soon.
Dude, turn the fu****n musik down
Apologies, this older video was produced by another company.
Guy listens to the best music
Merry Christmas Guy to you & yours up there pal
Merry Christmas!
Thanks for the support and for watching!
