Enjoy the videos. Nothing wrong with showing your own designs, as long as you acknowledge it. What is most attractive is not necessarily what is carried. Usage determines the knife, and the uses are many. I only use primarily 3 fixed blade EDC knives, due to weight, length, sheath, and guard. Working in woods is determined by steel toughness, knife's balance, weight, handle, and sheath. With a kitchen knife hardness, blade geometry, and length would be important.
At 2:03 right after the Logo went away and you show that log that`s all chopped and cut-up, I thought for a split second that I saw the LOGO on that bit of wood...which is sayin` you should look into having someone carve your opening logo onto a log for the house or something...just a thought.
Never understood the super huge following for the Paramilitary 2. Good knife but I bought one a few years ago and I just couldn't get used to that ultra thin tip...just seemed a little too fragile for me. Sold it and went back to my Emerson Commander.
Chris, great video! Avoid minimizing yourself, specifically you designed a great knife! Be proud of it and stop making excuses for liking what you made.
The para 2 in S30V is my favorite to carry also.....I love Microtech's o.t.f's and all the great flippers and blah blah blah. In short, like you sir I know decent knives. I know EXACTLY what you mean about the para 2. There is just so many things that make it perfect. GREAT edge holding, plenty strong and VERY slicey. Right now i'm carrying a 12'' Nepalese kukri and a Mora in the woods but my para2 is constant. Plus they are under 150$ on sale and it is not as hard to have an extra one put back in case Murphy shows up and takes the first one..... thanks for all the content. Greetings from the woods of KY.
My condor terrasaur turned up friday and it was in terrible shape the grind on ether side where in different places and depths so much that the point of the knife looked like a chisel point,took me 2hrs rubbing the thing on a 120grit stone to fix the grind.
Your JX blades are wicked cool looking Chris, im dirt poor so getting one isn't doable at the moment but dang someday I hope I will have one on my belt. It's so weird seeing how far you have come ..100% The American dream, you should be very proud of what you've accomplished brother. Keep on truckin forward.
Knive like the tops little bugger you'll like more just because honestly it's more useful than a big knife. How often are you "bushcrafting" or "surviving". for me it's rare that I carry a knife over 3 inches just because it's really not needed to have a large knife. My knives usually see mostly cardboard boxes, my lunch, or weed eater string. Now if I'm in the woods I still don't go over 4 inches, unless I'm there to have fun and want to chop things!!!
I always felt the same way until one was given to me and I started using it. Still not the best looking things to me, but they grew on me. Nothing outslices a full flat grind Spyderco.
Same here those damn ugly spyderco they not just ugly the way it engineered have alot of weak point, i only like well designed strong and good looking knives, some of spyderco lines have betfer look because it design by someone else collaborated with spyderco lol
I felt the same way and then I just said screw it and bought a Paramilitary 2 and its awesome. Sharp as hell out of the box and its so fun to flip around. I’ve always looked at Spyderco as I’ve looked at Apple. Thought they were dumb until you buy one.
Hey Chris! Big fan of the channel, been watching a few years now. I was wondering if you are still using the base camp in a bag? Also wondering how it evolved since you showed it last?
Chris what do you think of the OKC Rat3. Had a opportunity to use one? Great little flat grind companion knife. Really excels as a tool for me. Tennessee
You should order the para3 in maxamet then, you would have best of both worlds your ultimate favorite and have the killer steel with only sacrificing a slightly shorter blade but mannn do I ever love my para3's and I own quite a few lol cruwear is another really good one for sure! 52100, s90v s30v and I love them all...
All very cool blades brother. We the knife people only understand why we have sertin lives we really like. Everyone has different reasons for different knives they like. I own over 60 knives now and I'm not big on folders but have some. My favorite fixed blades knives are my cold steel leatherneck and my sog super bowie. Guess I'm old fashioned. Funny thing is there's only 2 or 3 video reviews on the super bowie. I'd figured there would've been more. But like I said I'm old fashioned and it's an old but beautiful knife.
Well its hard to afford them. I just like them more than eating and shelter so i go homeless n eat ramen to afford Barkies when its doable. Then no matter what I got Barkies and I would have just eaten or rent-paid the money away otherwise
Do you really have 1 favorite fixed blade knife for the woods? I bought my favorite a few years ago and haven’t even really wanted another. Still watch all your knife vids tho. Panteao productions MRTK knife, BHK makes it for panteao production you’ll probably like it
I feel like if tops made a little bigger folder it would be awesome. Also like a lot of people have been saying about he tops little bugger, they missed the opportunity to name it the lil bugger and I feel like if they made a folding version of the knife they could call it the lil bugger instead of little bugger lol.
Chris you've got an awesome selection of knives. I'm looking for a sheath for my stout gear knife with black carbon fiber scales which would you lean towards kydex or leather it will be scout carry
Chris, I haven't seen u test n rate the buck 245 mwg or the gck by buck knives, r u going to or r u at anytime going to, I've looked in ur videos that I can find n nada.
Hey Chris, quick question, what are your thoughts on the Cold Steele G.I. Tanto? If you could give me your thoughts that would be Awesome. Thanks John W.
I feel the same way about my large seb. 21 as you do your pm2. I'm not wealthy but have an increased knife and gun budget because I wasnt able to have kids.
Most impressive bushcraft knife you've reviewed is that Kabar Jarosz, Turok--even though it isn't a bushcraft knife. You don't carry it daily though, I believe.
Great videos. I rewatched them again. I think you made some good very good choices. As much as I want every great knife i dont need every great knife and will not obtain all of them. The ones you have here though would be more than enough for me so thx.
You know, I’d lol to see some reviews from great yourubers like Chris here or others of some tops knives that are kind of unknown. I searched myself and have found that there are so many tops knives that look badass that you can’t even find one review of on UA-cam and idk why that is. But it would be cool if youtubers that review blades looked up on UA-cam what hasn’t been seen and tested next time they want to do a tops knife and making a choice based on that.
Gimmick knife? My Habilis Companion. Looked like a mess. But works like a champ. One and two handed, it is a winner. It is now my dedicated neck knife. From the same company,....Habilis Trade Knife. Kitchen work, firesticks, bark shaving, firesteel work, splitting, chopping, carving,.......it does it all. 3:11.......Benchmade Mel Pardue. Are you a Spyderco distributor, or just a fanboy? I personally hate their knives. Don't fit and/or don't feel good in my hand. 11:18......Best is still a Mora Companion. Sorry about your luck. 13:05......OK, I will agree with you on that one, but different scales on it. Lived in the UP for 4 years and almost all the hunters I saw had Bark River Knives on them. Or Marbles Originals. Not the new Chinese copies. 14:38......What do you carry that thing for? That is nothing but a killing knife,...like a Gerber MK II or a Sykes-Fairbairn. I got over the knife fixation and now carry a CZ-75 P-01 for dispatching the baddies. Don't let them get within arms length. 16:40.......Most of us do not have the funds to afford that blade. Thank you for your high-priced reviews that most cannot afford. I had to save for TWO months to buy my Benchmade. That is normal in the real world, guy. We have to provide for the family and the pit called a car. Plus all the other trifles of a modern life. You are living in a dream world where your products are given to you for testing and review. Otherwise, why would you be here? You are making money off of this. Thank you for your (heh) unbiased reviews of these products.
Couple of great blades with different applications. Do you do a folder? FR EXT-1 is really choice to me. I missed the run of BC2 before this run or I'd have it too
Like the Bush craft #2...I can see myself skinning a buck..lamb...pig..with that one...the others naaaaa...but there nice to see...just my own judgment on that...
I want to love tops but alone the fact that there stands Lidl bugger or Brothers of Bushcraft: I don’t want that bs at all, leave it blank for god sake!
Hey Chris, great vid. Hey when you're doing a GAW, you shouldn't pre-post that there's one. Why you ask, that way it'll go to the diehards that really follow this channel - and NOT just in it for the GAW! Sincerely -

*I like the little bugger... That divit on the spine throws some serious sparks.*
Chris, how about a vid on ferro rods. Quality and length uses.
That Tops little bugger is an idea EDC knife for me. I don't mind the color at all...
There's something about that Terasaur that pushes all the right buttons for me. It's on my to-do list for sure,
Love the Tops Little Bugger!!! it's now a go to knife for me. Crazy, its a great little knife...
That esee looks sick. Might have to integrate that into my plate carrier.
My condor terrasaur turned up friday and it was in terrible shape the grind on ether side where in different places and depths so much that the point of the knife looked like a chisel point,took me 2hrs rubbing the thing on a 120grit stone to fix the grind.
My OD para 3 with s35 is my favorite folder. Carry it everyday

Thanks chris! This video is my favorite type of video you make. I’ve watched it a few times.
If you could, would you carry your JX-5 ( arguably your favorite knife ) as your EDC. If so or if not, please do a video on that answer. And be 💯
Chris, seeing you have the bushcrafter and like it. I was wondering if you have tried out an aurora and if you have an opinion on it? Thanks.

I don’t know why but I hate spyderco. Like allergic to those ugly things.
I have always thought that! They just look ugly to me. I’m sure they are good knives, but I will not get one because of their looks

For me Tac n Chris are the main men when it comes to knife reviewing
I am convinced that all you need in life is the Jx6. I use mine for literally everything

I am an old subscriber and I haven't watched in a while, and I'm missing the shed!

Thank you. I love this type of video. How many knives do you carry at once?
How many do you? I have a pocket knife, neck knife and belt knife usually. Delica Wharncliffe variant, adventurer 2 and Fox River EXT-1
I always like your reviews chris thanks for all your hard work!
On the Esee; I like the slide tensioner on the sheath. Thats extra
Chris you've got an awesome selection of knives. I'm looking for a sheath for my stout gear knife with black carbon fiber scales which would you lean towards kydex or leather it will be scout carry
Wharncliffe. I get it. Moved back to city. (CS TuffLite)

It was a giveaway.
That EXT-1 is no n joke… as good as it gets in my opinion… I have a Magnacut version.
That little bugger sheath would be HOTT with an Ulticlip. Theres many styles n sizes
Good idea...
If your seriously into knives you gotta listen to chris' review whether you owned the reviewed knife/knives or not
Great videos. I rewatched them again. I think you made some good very good choices. As much as I want every great knife i dont need every great knife and will not obtain all of them. The ones you have here though would be more than enough for me so thx.
Now , if you can only buy one for just about anything , what would you get . The fox river ext1 or the bravo 1 LT?
That's a tough one. Both are outstanding. I use the EXT-1 more.
Jessmuk C gets the most use from me! Nice design sir!
Great video, it’s good to know your favourite ones.
