I totally agree with what you are saying about the expense of a proper knife getting you out and about in nature with pushing yourself out there for the the use of your good tools that will work properly and probably safer that a cheap knife.
Better then Survive.
can't confirm. I've been waiting for my 5.1 for almost 2 years🤮
@@renexwing1546 that's why I'am saying it.
You're right on the money! LOVE my new F5 Sabre! As far as the price, they are worth every penny! Buy once, cry once!
I’ll look forward to the comparison video. For me the Adventure Craft has replaced my Esee 3. There are times that I would like to have a larger knife probably in the 6” range, but I’m not sure yet. When the Adventure Craft is under sized I just move to a hatchet (when available), but a large knife would accomplish many of those jobs.
Heck yeah!
For some of us, it's not a question of choice. We just don't have the disposable income to drop $360 on a knife. This inflation is rough.
Oh I totally understand! And luckily there are a lot of fantastic budget friendly options that'll get the job done!
Me being on a reduced budget...will get an esee instead.
That's a good move!
Saving!
Get some.
They ain’t from Kentucky then 😅 nothing like a moss and and mist filled holler, I’m originally from Harlan County USA 🇺🇸 and will never deny it…..I like that 5” they do a drop point saber grind better than almost any other…..I live how high they do the the break
So freaking cool. I would grab one but just got my gso 4.7 in the mail a month ago. Kinda same thing except in Magnacut.
Makes sense. The F6 was dropped in Magnacut so that's pretty wild!
@@Thepreppersbunkeroutdoors I had no idea! Might be worth grabbing one! Which steel would you prefer overall?
@thoricdavid8174 that's a REALLY hard question and I would guess the average user may never even notice a difference but the potential stain resistance and edge holding along with amazing toughness would make Magnacut a hard choice to pass up!
@@Thepreppersbunkeroutdoors I def don’t need the f6 as I also have the 5.1 in Magnacut. “Need” being the operative word haha. Want is another thing entirely….
@@thoricdavid8174 I understand that on a VERY deep level!
Not trying to jack anyone up but, It amazes me that people still equate cost to quality with the plethora of survival equipment available. For example, BPS knives makes a number of knives that would fall into the category of "field survival belt" knives that start at around $35.00. A far cry from the $300+ for the knife in your video. There are many others, as well, that I would put against your Reiff F5 as being just as suitable and capable without the expense. Do I have expensive knives? Absolutely. I own a Sub-Saharan from Grayman Knives (which is the most expensive knife I own). Stunning quality and craftsmanship but, it ain't no "survival belt knife" unless you're referring to combat survival. On the other hand, I also own a whole slew of less expensive knives that are absolutely perfect for their intended purpose, not least among those are several offerings from BSP and Cold Steel.
Just a thought. The absolute "best" knife available to anyone is the one that they can afford and the one they carry with them. Nothing else matters in the moment.
I address the points you made in the video.
I don't necessarily disagree with the overall point.
Sweet knife. You get what you pay for.
Beautiful. But a question came to my mind; with same price isn’t it better choice to get BRKT Wilderness Explorer in CruWear?
So that's a loaded question so I'll try to answer it with as much context as I can.
So firstly I'll answer the question in the context of wanting a relatively hard use belt knife.
When it comes to the choice of 3v or cruwear that have an equal, or even say an ideal heat treat, they are close enough in performance that I wouldn't choose one over the other.
A big thing that would determine which I would choose at this price is how they are made, the brkt being hand made with a full convex and the Reiff being machine made with the slight hollow.
If I want a survive knife that might be beat to hell the reiff is going to have a .034" +- .001" edge-
And the BRKT being hand ground a full convexed might have a .015 edge or a .035 edge. There has been in my experience a much larger variation in grind thickness with barkies than you would get with Reiff. That doesn't mean you'll get a bad knife, but it does mean that the knife that I get and the knife you get could be ideally suited for much different tasks, and the chance of having a defect is much higher.
The brkt might be the better choice for a specific person and for his specific brkt but I wouldn't say any brkt is overall a "better choice" based on quality itself- just different.
@@Thepreppersbunkeroutdoors can’t thank you enough for this comprehensive and wise answer. You are 100% right.
@@DaryooshF.Sh.P-vq6mu my pleasure bud, any time
More action with less talking would make for a much better video.
