Brother I bought the same buck knife about three decades ago same knife I have skin tons of deer with it sharpened it a million times can't tell it's lost any Edge wanted the toughest knives I've ever had when I bought mine it was $32. I saw them at Walmart the other day they were $75 plus tax can't beat a good buck knife.Next to my kbar best knife ever in my opinion. good video,great job.
Thumbs up! My three are the Bark River Shining Mountain Bowie. The Buck CPM 3v Ground Combat Knife and the Case Bowie with American Flag limited edition.
Great pics!
Dude, that’s awesome! I had no idea Buck released the Ground Combat in 3V. I missed that boat. 😢😂 I thought 5160 was it. You scored, bro! 👍
Yeah Gruggs, lets talk about knives I didn't think twice about buying from "your" channel too, lol ❤...
I hope they bring back shining mountain - they seem to only be putting out smaller skinning type blades through DLT lately
I can relate but I would replace that bark river with the TRC apocalypse, even if it’s not American made. 👍🏻
Tops El Chete; I live in a cabin in the mountains and over 70 years old don't swing an axe so well these days. The El Chete permits me to split wood down to size while sitting on the deck. Thanks for the video!
What a blade!
Right on bro 👍
3 of my favorites I have which are many are: 1. Cold Steel Trailmaster San Mai III. 2. Bark River Bravo 1 3. Falkniven A1. I have many others but these three just popped up first in my mind. Enjoy your channel.
The Trail Master San Mai is my favorite Knife too. Best Bowie ever
1 - Benchmade Nimravus
2 - Zero Tolerance 0006
3 - Buck GCK (couldn’t get a hold of the spear point but did snap up the tanto version)
Trade you a spear point for the tanto? Mostly kidding, however, I had the same experience. I wanted the tanto, and could only score the spear point lol
No recent purchases but in chronological order; 1970s era Buck General, the Cold Steel Bowie and the Cold Steel Kukri. All 30 or more years old (I may be a little off on the dates)and all worked VERY hard. Still very serviceable blades even after the years of hard use. I don't get to test them much anymore but they can all tell some great stories.
I just picked up a Benchmade Bushcrafter S30V steel at my local knife shop! Absolutely phenomenal knife! Pricey?...hell yeah! But a mans gotta do, what a mans gotta do!😂😂😂
My most recent was the Tops Silent Hero 4 and the Tops Desert Son. Bought both the same day on amazon too
Most recently my 2 OMG i need them buys were both Off Grid knives - Sierra Chef Knife & Caiman XXL they are new for 2024
WOW, I have a Buck General, but that Buck is a beast!!
Those are 3 top notch blades. I don't think I have seen that Esee 4 before. I'm putting it on the list. I buy knives when I see them, usually online somewhere. Here in Canada there's not a lot of choices when it comes to knives as there is in the USA. Most of my knives I have purchased helping to build the American economy and make jobs there as well. In the USA you have the knives, the choices and the availability.
I buy most knives for my collection. There's only a few I actually use. I collect all types, including folders, fixed blades, tomahawks and machetes, etc. Out of the 3 you showed in the video, I only have the Buck 124. I think I mentioned previously that I have had it for years and mine has the beautiful wood handle.
Three of my most recent acquisitions are the Muela Scorpion 26W, the Todd Begg BG-031, it's a large dagger knife, satin finish. I'm not really a big lover of those black coatings. I like to see my blade. And finally I just got a Boker Plus M3 Trench Knife 2.0.
I have a few trench knives actually. German, American and British. I have a lot of knives and to be honest I don't know in an emergency what I would grab. I have three sitting ready sheathed at the door. They have survival kits attached to them. Those three knives are my CRKT Mah-Chete, my Ontario Knives SP-50 and my Ontario Knives Chimera with serrations. I kind of narrow down my knife choice based on what I expect I'm going to be doing.
Great choices. I'm going to grab that Esse 4 Tactical.
Hopefully you didn't wait because they are sold out on Amazon. I'm in Canada and there was only one left online at one store and I just ordered it. Anytime somebody shows something on UA-cam when you go to Amazon it's gone.
My fallkniven A1, my white river Firecraft 5 and Tom Brown tracker 3. I’ve impulsively bought other knives just as expensive or more but those were a couple favorites.
2023 impulse buys, and I do not regret one. Lionsteel D2, Lionsteel T5, Spyderco Smock.
Just got the tops devils claw 2,
Man talk about mean I love it
The Cold Steel Large Luzon, Benchmade Large Crooked River were my two must haves.
.
And just like you, I barely use them. 😅
Work Tuff Puzon Wilderness Bowie, Natchez Bowie in 3v, Trailmaster in 3v, Laredo Bowie in 3v.
Can't fault any of your selections. I'd say that Cold Steel, Kabar and Ontario fixed blades would almost make my top 3 list, but the ones that for sure are my top 3 selections are all Buck knives.
You simply can't beat them for the quality, durability, and value that they bring to the table.
Hard choice! 😂 From recent purchases, three of my most favorite would have to be the ANV M311 in Elmax (no choil version), the Bark River Tundra 3, and LT Wright Large Northern Hunter. 👍
I bought a esee RB3 and I bought the esee 4 tactical just like you have after I watched your review. Feeding the knife addiction...take care.🇺🇲🔪🔥🌲
I have 1 of those I didn't realy have the money but bought it anyway and it's the demko freeriegn tanto
One I picked up last year just because I had to have it is the Cold Steel Tai Pan in San Mai. OMG what a beautiful blade. So far I haven't used it and have just been admiring it lol😅
Lionsteel is definitely my #1 go to for fixed blade. Joker is also a great quality blade.
Love the Positivity
Lionsteel m7 one touch and it had to go home with me . I was actually at the knife shop to buy a folder . Oh well I'm super happy with it and it lives on the side of my backpack.
Been wanting that one too!
@powers1776reset it is worth the price for sure . It holds it's edge really well and is a fire makers dream . I use this knife field dressing deer and around the camp . Is too big to be my belt knife but could be used in that role . Then on top of the great blade you have the best scales I've ever used/tried.
Great Video. I had to have the Work Tough Gear Hemlock Ares, the Lynn Thompson Signature Leatherneck Bowie, and the OKC SP10 Raider Bowie. All three are far more than I need but I had to have them. All the best good sir!!!
Thank you!🙂
After seeing your video on the Eafengrow EF141 I knew I had to have it and the Off Grid Caiman XXL. There were some others like some Takumitaks
Cold steals master Kukri in CPM 3V, the Trail master in VG1, master hunter in CPM 3V, and the Pendleton Hunter mini in CPM 3V.
I am lacking of fixed blades except for my neck knives,, SOG and CRKT so I need to add a couple into my collection. I'm more of a folding knife person and I like Cold Steel pocket swords as they call them. Also civivi and vosteed
Thank You for sharing! For me 2 the tops mpat and esee jg5
Seen your vid on the TOPS SAW 02 and had to get it. Happy as hell, thanks!
Very nice! It’s one of my all time favs
1. CRK (Chris Reeve Knives) Nyala fixed blade in DLC-coated S35VN with black leather sheath and scalloped & contoured black G10 handle scales. $315 after tax.
2. CRK Inkosi folding titanium frame-lock knife with satin S35VN blade steel in a standard drop point blade shape and “Plain Jane” handle. Retail was $450, paid $405 after 10% off promo.
3. Strider DB /Monkey Edge collab fixed blade in black CeraKote .25” thick tanto-ground 3V steel with black frag-pattern G10 handle scales and black molded Kydex sheath. $299 plus tax.
I recently got the Tops Knives Cuma Kage short sword 🗡️ for $222. It comes with a black Kydex sheath. What a monster of a blade that is!
@Tkellknives are my favorite fixed blades. I have & carry NightStalker CG, Piranha, FMF, Accomplice, MR-1; Sapper; FLN; Guardian
Bought my Buck 124 in the early 80's from SMKW for around $50.Been on my hip in the woods Eastern Ky.never let me down.
The RMJ Tactical raider, dagger, and the RMJ Tactical up close and personal are awesome. Absolutely love the tops wild pig hunter.
Almost three months ago, I bought an MDV plus one knife from Scallywag Tactical. MSRP was $155.00, I paid $110.00 for it, not bad. I like it a lot. I had a KA-BAR TDI, I wanted something with a slightly longer blade, tougher steel with better edge retention. D2 tool steel is NO joke.
the TDI is aus8 which is MUCH tougher than d2. edge retention is better but not toughness.
@@acid6urns Oh.
I just bought the Esee 4 clip point. As soon as you held it up at 2:11 I paused the video and went to your Amazon link and it was sold out. Which is usually what happens when somebody puts something on UA-cam and you go to Amazon and it's gone. But luckily I'm in Canada and there's only one single place in this entire country that had just one left in stock online. Also lucky for me is that I'm on the east side of Canada so I get your video before everybody else which means if I had waited those guys on the west coast would have grabbed it before me. As the saying goes snooze you lose. So now I'm back to your video hopefully you don't have any more knives that I want that I didn't know existed. I have the SRK C and 101 to 124 in Buck knives mostly in Cocobolo. My very first large knife was the buck 124 back in 1982 along with their little axe and a Swiss Army champ. It was my first solo Adventure out of Canada, across the United States in different places camping here and there and then down to the bottom of Mexico. I had no idea what I was doing but I bought all good quality Equipment and everything worked pretty good. I have no idea where those tools went but a few years ago I got back into collecting buck knives. I even picked up a 119 and a 117 Brahma with the leather grips.
Good choice!!!!!!
I had to have a Winkler Belt Knife. It’s never left the house.😂
Nice picks. I like the Rat 7 the CS recon tanto and Condor Moonshiner.
SRK in 3V for that price is a great find.
Love my Cold Steel SRK Compact, perfect for me.
God dam brother you definately have my taste all 3 knives you have in this video are blades I been wanting for a long time but haven't bought yet but definately will.
Thanks for your video! Great choices with those knives! The 3 I will list from my collection would be Cold Steel Trailmaster in 3V, Cold Steel Recon Scout in 3v, Joker Nomad 5” in Bohler N695. Bonus 4th is my Cold Steel SRK in SanMai.
Oh yeah, I have 2 of these 3 knives and same here, I haven't used either one yet though I've only had them for a few months. Looking forward to Spring-Summer. CS-SRK & Buck 124.
Cold Steel Outdoorsman. The original. One made in Japan with VG10 steel! I have 25 so picking other favs is tough! Love your three! Might have to acquire! Don’t tell my wife! 😉
I bought a couple fixies from Tops recently. An El Pionero with a sharpened back edge and a Street Scalpel 2.
My fixed blades I had to have and bought are the Tops El Chete, cold steel Magnum Tanto XII, cold steel Marauder, cold steel OSS and the Cold steel Black Bear Classic
VERY NICE KNIVES! I HAD to have the Top’s Tom Brown Tracker in camo, Top’s SXB REGULAR blade AND the camo version of the same knife!
Love all 3 , I am in UK where it's illegal to take fix blade out of the house, I have collected many though. My fave is Bowie's.
My three are the cold steel leatherneck Bowie, the tops hazen legion, and the condor heavy duty kukri. In order of newest to oldest.
Love your content! Have to say my 3 favorite I have are my recon tanto, srk and my grandfathers old world war 2 usn ka bar. That knife is a bit warm out but it’s still sharp as a tac and the blade is insanely tough! Man I would love to have a buck 120 to add soon!
Thank you!
I love your videos! I recently bought my " had to have it" Kbar fighting knife. I have wanted one for so long.I also bought a Morakniv with an orange handle. I love orange handles for some reason. I got my eye on that Esee with the orange and green! I started to like carrying scout style too. Its much easier to carry my pew pew and still access my knife since the gun blocks my right pocket and access to my clip knife which has always been my Kershaw Leek. Have a great day sir!
You as well!
1. Gerber Strongarm, 2. Falkniven F1, and Morakniv Companion are my favorite fixed blade knives.
I have a couple LT wrights, couple Bark River’s but my fav is the perfect neck knife from Carter Cutlery forged not by Murray but by one of his master smiths Mr Aaron, absolutely love it.
EX-F01 FIXED BLADE: 7.0" DROP POINT BLADE - FDE CERAKOTE FINISH, G-MASCUS DARK EARTH G10 SCALES ..... This one is my personal favorite
1. Creely Folklore (beast edition) on pre order.
2. APO 1T from survival Lilly.
3. Becker BK2.
We get hammered with 20% sales tax on everything.
Sog pentagon fx & covert,Tops tracker
Top 3 just because I wanted them knives: Winkler Knives - Belt Knife, Amtac Blades - Magnus, Viking Tactics - Norseman. Next big purchase will be a Winkler Knives - Combat Axe. Later an Amtac Blades - Battle Axe.
Always been an esse knife fan. I have front carried an izula 2 for several years now
The Buck Frontier 124, 119, and the Ranger.
I love fixed blades. That ESEE, and SRK, are great. Great video. Thank you
My winkler crusher belt knife w/rubber grip , HALF FACE BLADES CombatDirtNap, or my Williamsbladedesign/trcknives SZK005 , or my TOORknives, and SCALLYWAG TACTICAL collaboration knife called the MUTINY in cannon black are all I carry , use, and EDC. And I had to have them as soon as I saw them!
Nice!
I just bought a Bark River Mountaineer 2 in cruwear, unused from a collector. Such a a great little tank of a knife, great for EDC (the classic look doesn't scare off people at the office) and surprisingly capable woods knife with the full convex. Man such a cool little knife. How about reviewing some Bark Rivers man? They sure deserve some love too!
1) Esee 4
2) Buck Bucklite Max II Large
3) Mora Kansbol
My fixed blades are the Kabar Fighting/Utility knife (1” longer than your standard 7” Kabar) and the Kabar Mark 1. Folder is a Kabar Mule, half-serrated. This last one looks to be discontinued, so scoop one up before they’re gone for good! (Not the cheap, lame G10 version-it should be about $55.)
Tom Brown Tracker in Coyote Tan/peanut butter tactical, Gerber MK I Anniversary, TOPS B.O.B Stone wash, I collect blades whether I use them or not, the Gerber MK is the only one that never gets used. There are still many out there that I just like for the coolness I eventually will purchase but no hurry, and then there are some that are still in production or not in production anymore that I will not purchase due to the ridiculous price some people ask for thinking they have unobtainable gem and they don't.
Great video. My two had to haves, well, you covered em. Guilty pleasures. I look ,at buck 124, and even 119s, and while they are very nice looking, I just don't pull trigger on em. I don't throw mine, so, yeah.
i remember finding a buck 110 folder i think it was in the woods , it was bucks big folding knife , thought i struck gold! brass on handles!
ESEE and Cold Steel FTW🗡🗡
I just love both my ESEE knives,..first is my Izula in s35vn with G10 neon green wood grain scales from Blade Connection.
Second is my beloved EDC. ESEE Xancudo with 3" blade in s35vn.
I carry it in my front pocket, fully concealed with help from the amazing Ulticlip attached to the Sheath.
Love me some ESEE knives along with Cold Steel.
Nothing better IMO🗡🗡🗡
Great review as always,...LOVE your show🗡🗡🗡🗡
Thanks my friend!
You have same taste as me buddy I love black and Grey together. I want that knife myself.
My survival blade is the Schrade SCHF9, one of the original models.
Hey dan good to see ya case Bowie and a aitor jhungle king 2that's my 2
I have too many to list😅.
I use them all, but my least used are my McCurdy Kukri, my Condor KTac Kukri, and my Buck 124. They are all capable, and tough enough for heavy use.
For me it was the Extrema Ratio Mamba and the Böker Applegate Fairbairn in the single edged version.
Same Esse 4 I carry , bro ! Minus the swedge)
Tops Hazen Legion and Operator 7 not my best choices. ( I am an older 61 bushcraft guy.)
Enjoying your channel ! Pete
Thank you!
The most I have ever spent on a knife was $80. It was blacksmith made and I carry it on one of my concealed carry rigs. I also have a $70 custom made my wife bought me. It was made by a knife maker’s son who was just getting started. That knife stays with my knife from my great grandpa and never gets used. Too shiny and pretty. I’m not a newest and best steel junkies. I prefer using knives and carbon steel at that. I can’t afford fancy stuff anyway. I make use of whatever steel the blade is made of. 7cr and 8cr are doable. I generally try to avoid 5cr & 3cr . I do like my knives to be able to complete a cut before becoming butter knife dull. My policy is that I won’t spend $100 on a knife. Cheaper blades work just fine for me. I’ve had many excellent blades in my life. I’ve even made a few myself keeping hard use in mind. I do love knives and , like guns, I have my limits.
Last knife bought on impulse? ZT 0452CF, in fact that was the last folder I purchased. Still use it, good for when wearing a suit or sport jacket... My go to EDC is TOPS C.U.T 4.0, love that knife.
Great 😊
I’ve only gotten into survival gear in the last 10 years. I don’t have a lot of knives and the most of them are schrade. Schrade is cheap cheap and easy for me to abuse because I’m not attached to it. But I recently bought a knife at a gun show near Cincinnati. I meet a guy who makes knives, and sheaths, beautiful workmanship. The sheath is a scout style carry. The blade is D2 steel. The handle is made of desert Ironwood. the knife about 8 1/2 inches long maybe 9 inches long it carries like a dream . 300.00 is what I offered for it. The problem is that now I’ve seen and have a nice knife, I don’t want cheap ones anymore. The guy is MRG knives.
Very true. After you have a Cold Steel in your hand you'll never look at Schrade again.
I've been a fan for 30 years. I wouldn't trade one Cold Steel for 5 Schrade. You'll throw them away. They'll be clutter. My dad passed and I inherited a large box of knives. I gave them away except for the 2 Cold Steel he had.
Cold steel Trailmaster.
Gerber Mark II, all stainless, from the mid to late 70’s.
I got 2 esee 5s one regular, one with the partial serration I also got the Lionsteel T5,T6, and M7. I got them all at the same time except the esee5 serated I got that one first about 2 weeks before the others. There is more I want but I literally can’t afford them right now. Maybe one or two a paycheck till I complete my collection.
Oh I also ordered a second pair of the brass knuckles you featured a few weeks ago on your channel.
Nice!
Right now I want the HZ6 Williams design for CRKT… $120 USD.
I don’t even have a use for it, it would even be illegal to carry here, but I just love the shape of that blade.
Lt wright,bark river bravo and mora robust
Off Grid Knives Caiman XXL. CRKT Du-Hoc. I had to have them.
The SOG Super SOG Bowie. I just had to have it. ❤️🔪
Chris Reeve Montaineer, Randall Diver and UTG Survival.
Off grid Alpha dog, OKC Rat 3 and the cold steel SRK in SK5
For my survival gear I had no fixed blade. I just got a bk2 ka-bar. It is thick and super heavy. I wanted it for edc. Not happening. I put it on my survival backpack. The ka-bar being military issue. Like it weighs a lot. For batoning it will work great.
Tops knives operator 7 blackout, cold steel warcraft tanto, crkt hissatsu. I bought them in 2019ish when I first got into knives. I am more selective nowadays and go for a wide range of knives for a wide range of purposes. I will say those were the knives I put zero thought in purchasing. Just wanted to feel it in my hand.
So many epic knives! But, I really wanted a Bark River Bravo1, a fallkniven A1 and Chris Reeve Green Baret 5.5. All well over a 100 bucks. But never regretted it haha.
But folding knives is a whole different story.... I spent way to much on that.
OH I can really relate to this video Daniel... The first one, the moment I saw it "on your channel" is the Esee 4 tactical too! I got it with the half serrated edge. I did put G-10 scales on it and modded the sheath for Scott carry and I do carry it quite often!
Second is my KA-BAR EK-50! Saw it on my friend Stiletto's channel and again, didn't think twice!
Third (and this one became an obsession) is the Work Tuff Gear V44X Marine Reaper Bowie! It's a HUGE knife with one HELLUVA cool clip point look that I've never seen! Got two variations of it lol... AND, I could go on about buying knives I've seen on your channel (like that Warivo Bowie) too but, this is already a long rant lol...
Love it haha
Tops wild pig hunter. Had to have it. Tops Prather war bowie, had to have it. Bradford guardian 3 was just over 100, had to have it.
Extrema Ratio - Miserecordia
TOPS - TAC Karambit (it’s massive and scary)
Chris Reeves Pacific. Reeves Green Beret, Eickhorn Su 200. All beauties. Thanks Brother. I got it. We buy what is pleasing to the eye. USA!!!
Love my fixed blades... Buck is a great blade(still carry a 110a) ,randal knives is the best in my opinion, plus im partial to them as theyre local company.
I had to have the Loosahatchie Jack from Rosecraft. I stopped the video that I saw it in and ordered it on the spot. It did not disappoint. The quality of that knife way surpasses its price point. In my opi
Bark River Prototype Bush Seaux. Beautiful, Expensive, never used.
Tops Wild Pig Hunter, Lionsteel M7, Khukuri House Kali Nemesis (11")
Work Tuff Gear Puzon Wilderness Bowie, Bradford Guardian 4.2 in Magnacut, and Becker BK7 modified by myself!
I had one of the original Cold Steel tanto back in the late 80's I think . When they were a newish company . That thing was AS ADVERTISED . Somebody stole it. Got a Buck 120 General , if I recall correctly . Also an outstanding knife . Somebody stole it . Lesson: Don't have room mates with drug addictions . Got a Kbar and a Buck 199 Special now so all is well.
