![The FEARED Kukri! [What You NEED To Know]](/img/n.gif)
I grew up working at my father's butcher shop. He always said "Every knife has it's specific job but when it comes down to it. The knife in your hand is the best knife in that moment."
Agreed!
I'm a butcher and I wholeheartedly agree.
@@LooneyBinUKthe better knife for the job isn't always handy, so the one you have is the best one because a knife is a knife.
Absolute words of wisdom... Thank you.. Thank you so very much... ❤
That is greatly appreciated and I thank you for the positive feedback 🔥
Amen Brother!
🔥🙏🏻🔥
For most of human history a sharp rock was all we had and we made it work, so knowledge and experience will always be the most important factor, but lets face it, some fancy pocket jewellery also makes us all feel a bit special.
Absolutely this. I love buck knives, but a lot of people hate on the 420hc steel. "That's not any good, you need to upgrade to a modern tool steel!" But 420HC is just as good, if not better, than most of the steels people were using from the end of the iron age all the way to the start of the space age, I think it'll be fine. And the handle is comfortable, which means no blisters or cramps when I'm actually using it!
Right on! Our ancestors would have killed to have what we have access to today lol.. And I love quality gear as much as the next guy.. There definitely is something to the “get what you pay for” cliche..
@@deathsquiggleAgreed!
In all realness it's most definitely the skills not the tool. There are tools that work better for different things and different people
Absolute truth!
Awesome video! Im getting back into camping and hunting and wanted to get a good solid knife but always like doing my research. This was the first video I watched and is most definitely the first video anybody needs to watch before looking for a survival knife! Great explanation and definitely subscribing just because of the pure honesty.
To get the definition of an expert, you have to break it down:
“Ex - Spurt”
An Ex is a has been,
And a Spurt is a drip under pressure.
Great video and a good discussion about the subject
👍🏼👍🏼🇺🇸
Good video.
I have said for a long time that no single knife is going to do all the tasks well that you need to perform on a long trek in the backcountry.
For about 8 years I carried a neck knife made from an old saw blade with a 3.5" to 4" blade and stag antler scales. Best trade I ever made, and it did about 80% of all camp chores I needed it to do. Could I build a strong semipermanent shelter with it? No. But I never intended it to, since that was beyond its scope of operation. I carried a tomahawk or a large knife or a machete for those larger tasks.
You need a blade that will do smaller tasks well, and you need a blade that will do larger tasks well. Period.
Absolutely!
Keep up the fires JJ stay frosty
👊🏻🔥👊🏻
Hi, I’m Stuart and… I’m an ESSE fan boy. Never let me down.
Yay! Honesty!
Absolutely!
I cant say its the best, but my go to is the mora companion. Its cheap, its light, its easy to sharpen, the back strikes a ferro rod well, comes in stainless, and I have yet to break one.
Agreed! Mora makes an excellent knife all around and I have never broken one either.. A solid choice I would recommend to anyone 👊🏻
Thanks for the info.
This guy is funny and talented. Fun video.
I try to keep things entertaining while still bringing some education to the table- thanks for watching!
Totally, perfectly, and completely agree.
Mic drop 🎤
Great video.
It is mostly a personal preference. To be perfect for you it's gotta match you not everyone. I love the "big" morakniv Garberg for ease of sharpening, rust resistance, and comfort during most task that I do. Yes I have blasphemed the knife gurus by preferring stainless steel over carbon steel. I don't care what the experts say I care about what fits me best for me.
You get the stamp of approval 👊🏻
I live in Florida with the humidity here steel rusts quickly. I figure if the crap hits the fan or I'm outside and everything is wet and messy, that stainless steel knives or high carbon steel knives would be the better choice.
@@MasterK9TrainerI agree with you 💯 % ..Your choice reflects your needs and that’s just common sense.. Keep on keeping on 👊🏻
@@FueltheFires I absolutely LOVE the cold steel SRK for the weight and shape. If I need a knife to work and fight, it is perfectly designed for me. But I would have to put a lot more effort into keeping the rust away.
🤣🤣🤣, totally love the direction of the video 😆, great point because I buy knives thinking that this is the one only to change my mind 😅, keep up the great work and looking forward to your next video 😁🤙🤙🤙
You said it ... the best knife is the one you have with you.... Great video.... I do love my Navy survival knife my dad passed on to me 😆 🤣 😂
I think a lot of us have “that” knife 😂.. Thanks for watching!
Yep! If it’s sharp and pokey it will probably get the job done.
A to the men 🙏🏻
Thank you
Thanks for watching!
3:12 " .... You! You make he best survival knife!" That raises an interesting question (as some other comments below mention as well) - why a survival knife? Singular. Later in the video you do mention the various limitations of certain knives, but don't elaborate. The knives on your table represent various different ways of meeting camp-related tasks and functions. So, why limit yourself to only one knife? In what scenario would you suddenly find yourself in dire circumstances and be limited to ONE tool only? Who made up this rule? [Note: only the minutest fraction of people might be a crashed jet aircraft pilot who miraculously survived over the Borneo or Amazon jungle with only his uniform, parachute and his ESEE5 knife?] For most of us normal people we CHOOSE to go out into the wild, for any number of reasons. Thus we have the ability to plan ahead and DECIDE what to take, how and why.
Thus, we CAN decide to take the tools that we will require for that particular expedition.
To this end I came up with a little formula to help with this decision-making.
Firstly I divide trips into two main categories; Heavy carry and light carry (for obvious reasons).
Heavy carry:
I would ALWAYS include a saw! (like a Silky Bigboy). [Note: I discount carrying an axe capable of doing heavy work as too heavy and bulky, as well as too limited in application.]
Large knife: some tasks are easier and safer to do with a large blade. It is what it is. For this I have my Cold Steel Trail Master (San Mai III version).
Belt knife: This is a medium size knife fit for bushcrafting tasks, carving, slicing, cutting, etc, and worn on a belt at all times. Here I would opt for the Victorinox Venture Pro (with kit).
Multi-tool knife: [Note: as I would be mainly in the wild I would probably not need a full size pliers, so a Leatherman style tool is unnecessary.] Here my choice is the Victorinox Hercules, which I would carry on a lanyard and dangling inside my trouser pocket. This versatile tool would satisfy all those other camp related tasks, and also food prep and some woodworking tasks, eh making holes, and small items. The pliers it has is perfectly adequate for making snares, traps, etc.
Light carry
I would still have a saw (Silky Gomboy, or if hiking a Pocketboy). This is not-negotiable.
Belt knife: for light carry, this would be the Cold Steel SRK (in CPM3V, and sabre grind, uncoated). This is after all the signature Survival Knife!
Multi-tool knife: My carry companion of 30 years would still always be with me: Victorinox Swiss Champ.
I'd be interested in your comments about my selections.
Survive knives GSO 4.7 -TRC Mille Cuori - LT Wright ForestTrail. Those are the Top 3 imo.
All great knives with excellent capability 👍🏻
Love your videos JJ. Look forward to more adventure videos brother! 🤘🏻
#GRATITUDE 👊🏻🔥👊🏻
Refreshing. Funny but true.
But like the man said, I'll still watch more knife videos... because I like knives! Hahaha!
I could never give that up myself 😂
Excellent. Just excellent.
Thank you! 🔥
I found you because of this video and HOURS later I'm still here
The 2 so called Survival knife's i been carrying are a SOG Furce 6 inch blade and SOG NorthWest Ranger 5.2 inch blade i like them both a lot ,
I have the SOG multi-tool Power lock that will NOT die 😂.. Been using it for years and years and it simply refuses to give up
Experience is the greatest teacher. Folks need more dirt time and I do too.
Excellent! Couldn’t agree more!
You had better or I’m coming to TN 😂
@@FueltheFires😂😂
I gotta say, you hit the nail right on the head! I know people that are gear geeks that never take their pack, knife, tarp or whatever out in the woods and use them.
Which is more effective, a guy with a high capacity glock who doesn;t shoot much or a guy with a Redhawk who shoots thousands of rounds a month?
JJ, another great video! Looking forward to your next one, whatever the subject
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the support and love doing this.. Your kind words mean a lot 🔥
As a not rich person, I thank you.
This is pretty good. There is no "best" knife, like there is no "best" gun, car, or most any other thing. The "best" knife or whatever, is the one you like the most.
My Mora 511 Purchased about 10 years Ago , Go's with me Just About Everywhere. With my Skramma 240 and Silky Saw. Haven't carried an Ax in years.
My 511 has Unzipped many Deer and Salmon, Made Countless Tent Stakes, Shaved Fatwood, Started Many Fires . My Garberg Hardly leaves the house.
Right on- you “get it”… Keep on keeping on 👊🏻
I agree. It's how you use the knife that matters.
👊🏻
A knife is just a tool like a hammer or a saw, the right one is determined by what you need to accomplish.
100% 👊🏻
The best survival knife is the one you have with you when your in need.
Amen 🙏🏻
I've spent the last 28 years studying the question. I know a lot more about knives and survival than when I started. We'll never find a perfect knife, and some will always apply better than others to a given person/task/environment/set-of-surprises. The surprises are what put survival front and center.
My most commonly-used blade is a QSP Parrot linerlocking folder, with a full-v-ground drop point D-2 blade. I still have my roadkill Leatherman Original dated 08/93, and am carrying a 5-inch drop-point full-tang that I made in 2012. It is a full-V grind in 154CM steel with fiberglass laminate handles. During the Obama years (.22 ammo drought), I used it for emptying traps, and found that it was a very poor penetrator in tissue, so ground a swedge near the point. Never used it for the task since, so I don't know if it helps.
Focus on tool systems, rather than a single do-all tool. Remember that your cutting edge is the most fragile part of the knife. Especially on glass or stone blades. Make your edge as thin as you can, without rolling or chipping in normal use. Keep your cutters sharp, and your tinder dry. Always carry them in the same place.
That’s why I carry my Bear Forest On Three EDC 💪🏼🤘🏼
Excited about getting my hands on one 🔥
Don't forget the EDC guys on YT who claim, every piece of gear is rock solid but it doesn't have a scratch or speck of dirt on it, as if its LNIB but claim it's the best edc all day every day...
Right?!?! 🤣
None of the above, if it is pure survival. Colonel Nick Rowe, Medal of Honor recipient and founder of Army SERE, said in a 1986 interview “We’ve got a little SERE knife, a folder, that has a short blade that is good for draw cutting. You could stab with it if you had to, but that’s not its main purpose. It’s made out of a slightly softer steel. I keep mine sharpened on a river rock I picked up one time. The knife has a rubber handle, so it won’t slip in your hand if it gets wet or bloody. These are all small things, but in a survival situation, they’re really important.” I’ve always wondered what knife he was talking about. We were given the Camillus “US” knife when I went through SERE.
It was made by Al Mar knives. I remember that interview in Outside magazine. I still have a copy of what was in his survival kits. He carried three levels of kits. Hope that helps.
Love this story 👊🏻
It does! It is a great article, and I've even passed it on to a SERE instructor in the AF who'd been giving us an advanced refresher course prior to a deployment.@@pennyghostpennyghost7000
Amazing
Thank you
Bingo. It's skill that matters.
What? An honest, non-sponsored knife review? Say it isn't so... And thanks!
Wouldn’t do it any other way- I really appreciated the kind words 👊🏻
I been waiting on a full video on your neck gaiters.
I’ve done so many for other channels but I can make that happen on this one too..
Wow......
I have been saying ALL of this (slightly different words) my entire adult life.
Thankyou for doing this video!
It was my pleasure and I just felt someone in the industry needed to say these things.. People get so caught up in what is the “best”… As if the tool can make up for the lack of experience and skill.. I love high quality stuff as much as the next guy but it’s definitely not the “end all be all”.. Thanks for watching and I appreciate the support 👊🏻
I agree with your assessment of the “perfect” knife. The knife has to be one that you know how to use and care for. I have a Camillus pilot survival knife that I received in 1960 from my uncle who was in the Navy. It’s been on many camping trips and patrols in Cambodia in 1971. It got my dad safely home from a storm when a shear pin broke on his boat. He used the saw back to file down an oversized spare pin. I continue to use the knife to this day. Is it perfect? No… but I like it and I’m familiar with it. Great video sir!!
I really appreciate you commenting on that blade! It was my very first “survival” knife and served me well for many years. People rag it out but I still love mine! It’s a classic blade and if you take care of it, it will take care of you 👊🏻🔥👊🏻
Glad you showed the Old Hickory... my favorite knife.... not the coolest but the one that everyone can use and you do not look like a nutcase
Been using those my whole life- excellent blades/ excellent choice 👊🏻
"Dont look like a nutcase" while pulling out a literal butcher knife. LOL 💀
Well, in hindsight your are also correct sir!... but it works for camping/picnicking at a National Park and such@@mechanicalbow
One of my favorites is a $9 bait knife
If it works for you- it works!
Still rocking the mora or the strongarm but here lately I've been playing around with the kobalt chisel knife
A good knife is the one you have in your hand at the time you need it.
True that!
I carry pocket knives exclusively. I can get feathersticks with them, I can strike a ferro rod with them, skin game with them, cut cordage, you get the idea. If my pocket knife can't handle the job, chances are a machete or hatchet will do the job better than any fixed blade survival or bushcraft knife. I've got several fixed blade knives that people have given me over the years and I've never found a situation where they were the best tool for a job. Too big for fine work and too small for heavy use. I carry a pocket knife all the time for utility that will handle most whittling or shaving. I use an Opinel for eating with at home, and it will handle any cooking jobs I need around the campfire. I use a machete for clearing brush and light chopping fire wood. Anything bigger and I go with a camp axe. I'm not felling redwoods so those pretty much handle any job I need handled.
Everyone is an expert at one task, but, nobody is perfect for everything. Each knife wether big small whatever will work and certain tasks. Pick what you're good at and build from it.
I've found that I can't do everything I want with just 1 or 2 knives. So, I carry 4. A big knife, a medium knife, a 3-blade pocketknife and 1 more just because it's in my multitool. Is that overkill? If you're camping, yeah you don't need all that, 1 should be enough. Bushcraft, pick 2 and make them work. Survival, I want the knife that will work the best for the job. I don't want to try to dig out a splinter with a Ka-Bar. I don't want to try to clear a spot to sleep with a lock blade. So yes, like he said, it's up to you to figure out what's best for you.
You know,... A knife is like a good Women (both you have chosen). When new,... It is sharp, feels good in the hand, built of the best materials ever, serves you and ALL above and beyond, achieves what is needed and takes care of whatever arises... But after time passes when it is a little "duller", it has lost "some feel or appeal" because of all "the new stuff" that is out, it is taken for granted and set aside. It is still built to resist, serve, and protect above all, still ready to assist/serve at anytime and in anyplace, is still willing and able to achieve what needs to be done and take care of anything that arises,... I say this because my Dad gave me a $12 fixed blade knife (USMC copy) when I was 15. I picked that knife up not long ago and realized the stress and abuse I put it through. I replaced the sheath, gently file the spine back, gave it an edge like no other (literally shave a hair in half), doctored it and took care of it. Sometimes we just sit back, watch, look, and give attention to the things that we chose. With a little TLC, that one knife will still be THE BEST ONE IN THE DRAWER!, I'm now 65 and out of my 125+ knife collection that is the one I'm reaching for and taking with me, it and my Sweet Woman are tried, true, and proven! I love them both! I really enjoyed this and your prospective!
Agreed.
Well that was sensible.
Thank you- that’s what I was going for
My EDC knife is a Gerber FAST06 that sells for less than $65, and I keep it razor-sharp. My other knife is a venerable Ka-Bar, but with a synthetic grip. Also razor-sharp! The best survival knife, IMHO, is the one you carry or keep in/on your bag! Take care of your tools and it will take care of *you!*
In my opinion people rag out Gerber and Ka-Bar too much.. You obviously “get it”.. Experience plays a big part.. Keeping your tools sharp plays a big part.. Keep on keeping on 👊🏻🔥👊🏻
People always say a survival knife has to be a full tang that has the capability of being hammered through a cinder block, but at least from what I’ve found having an exposed full tang during subzero conditions is not ideal. The metal can stick to your gloves or worse your bare skin. Rat tails and half tangs are adequate enough to do most jobs you would need a knife to do. As someone who lives in a place that snows for 6 months of the year a full tang knife has little appeal to me
Totally agree with you. Nothing is best.
Whatever you have in your backpack is the best.
Ah, forgot to mention, I never button with my knife, I use my axe😃
In a perfect world you would use the right tool for the job for sure… Today we often try to replace the axe with a knife. I consider my axe to be one of my most valuable tools. Talk about getting some work done! A knife could never do the job of an axe for sure..
will i prefer one blade over another for a given task? yes. but if i end up in a bad spot and i've only got one blade i'm gonna be happy to have it regardless of what it is.
A cruel but enjoyable video😆
Thanks 😂
The one you still have if you survive
Word!
I get it… but I was waiting for that ESSEE 😂
I was talking to Shane and Patrick the other day and they definitely are working at getting caught up.. ESEE makes excellent blades and that’s why there’s such a high demand for them.. Every blade I have by them has passed the test in my book.. Great knife company!
I’m here to make this my last knife video I ever have to watch!
Best knife is the one you have with you when you need it
You got that right!
Hey JJ! You are fully right, the best knife you can have is that which you carry right now and with which you are able to handle each moment. All the best my friend from Austria 🇦🇹🤠👍🏕️🔥
Well said my friend. 🤔but what are we gonna talk about now?😂
🤔Hmmmm… I messed up 😂
I get by with my leatherman multitool knife ;]
Says the guy ducking from folks throwing “the newest bestust blade” at him at ever opportunity. 😂 My favorite knife is a sharp knife. Thankfully I know a guy who keeps them in decent slicing order for me 😂
I know that guy!!!
@@FueltheFires I bet you do! 😂😘
I will say that the best survival knife is the knife you have with you when you actually need it and that you know how to use what you have.

Don't really have a problem with using the term expert. Does not mean that the person isn't an eternal student. Maybe need a different definition or qualifying adjective.. I understand the connotation. It's almost akin to using the term martial arts instructor. Doesn't automatically mean they don't have knowledge.
You’re absolutely right about that and I should have chosen a different approach on that one- thanks for being kind on this one.. I appreciate it 👊🏻
@@FueltheFires you have some of the most informative and helpful videos in tubedom. I don't have an idea what to use other than the word expert. One of the most rewarding part of being an "expert " was when a student showed a new perspective on a technique I'd taught or performed a million times. I learned something from what I taught.
@@bernardbarr2354This is so true! I was teaching a class where I asked them to define sharp.. A young girl responded with, “ I think it’s when two angles meet well in the middle….” I was blown away with how awesome of an answer that was.. She summed up my 20 minute explanation in one short sentence.. Been using that one ever since lol… I love learning stuff like that to this day.. Thank you for the kind words- means the world 🔥
It's not just about the knife. It's about the system you put around the knife. If there's not a ferro rod, certain amount of cordage, heavy duty needle, duct tape, electrical tape, fresnel lens, sharpener & fishing hook all contained or attached to the sheath I'm not taking it with me. Believe it or not Survivorman came up with a system made by Camillus which I bought for $50 years ago. It's bulletproof. Of course I own many other knives (who doesn't?) that are much more expensive.
You’re right.. Being prepared with the right tools is key.. I get tired of this romantic notion of doing everything with just a knife.. Like how about people use their brains and exercise a little common sense instead 😂
If I had to choose between a knife and a bic lighter I might just go the lighter route. Having said that, why not bring both to the party? Correct me if I'm wrong but that's why pockets were invented. @@FueltheFires
Just saying JJ... huge missed opportunity for a Carman voice over when you said "BEEFCAKE!!"
I know I’m so displeased with myself 😂
@@FueltheFires NO KITTY ITS MAHH POT PIE!!!!!

Amen. Too much ado about nothing concerning knives. I've even got one the Rambo knives the first one they made, and it still works. Would I trust my life to it, no but to a point if you know how to use a knife the best one is the one you have
When I was a kid my Grandfather gave me that Air Force Pilot Survival Knife- I got mad because I wanted the Rambo knife.. I saved up the $10 and bought one and promptly broke it when I threw it at a tree… I still have the former knife lol
@FueltheFires yea my Rambo knife is missing the compass(broke throwing at a tree, lol) and the blade has play but it's all about the memories
Let's not forget this quote "screw your freedoms" - A. Schwarzenegger

Just normalize the audio levels of the effects pls it is very easy...
Will definitely work on that- thanks for letting me know 👍🏻
You asked for it ! Here's the better argument : 1) Rule out anything from China. That country is our enemy and trading with it is insane. There are plenty of knives made outside China and they are generally better quality too.
2) The all-around best survival knife is the British MOD sold by Night Galaxy ( Quarter inch steel, coated blade, rugged shape, sensible length, around $100 ). If you consider the Kukri a knife, maybe it is the best. If cost and weight are not a concern, the SXB Skullcrusher is the cat's pajamas.
There, I fixed it for you. And if personal preference dictates, Cold Steel SRK, Cold Steel Trailmaster Bowie, Ka-bar Becker line of great knives.
The best knife is the one you have, IF you know how to use it and you know it's limitations.
That’s right- overcoming the deficiency of the tool 👍🏻
Nice use of Supernatural. I'm sure everyone will agree with your statement; it's accurate. But I think we can realistically say that yes, some grinds are better than others for survival. Scandi is a unitasker, simple as that. Can you skin game with it? Sure.....as easily and cleanly as a saber or flat grind can do necessary wood tasks for survival? Not even close. As far as I'm concerned, scandi's are for city slickers and fad followers playing at camp for a night. Go back and tell Kephart he should have a scandi grind and he'd laugh at you.

Buck 110 enters the chat room....
Ahem alpha hunter.
Enters the room, then sits in the corner...facing the corner.
@relicpathfinder2800 Maybe because the 110 is disappointed to what has become of his offspring. From working tools to knives now that are "fidget friendly" and "pass a vibe check". I want a knife I can throw at a wide variety of tasks and ask for more at the end of the day. YOU want pocket jewelry that you pull out and show your boys that opens up Amazon packages. Respect the past so you can appreciate the future, son.

Isn't that true for most all knives?
OMG! how did you not cut your knuckles stabbing those blades right next to the other blade. I cringed every time you put a knife in the table.
Oh also, good video considering it was "educational" and there was no blood or explosions. Could have been blood though...so close.
😂 Guess I’ve just been doing it for so long that thought never even crossed my mind..
I'm better than Rambo . Just grab a beaver or woodchuck by the back of the neck and the tail - bingo bango - a knife with an attitude . I wasn't lying , I'm badder than Rambo !

No knife is sharper than a sharp mind. Knowledge and skill trumps gear always.
My skills improved with my knowledge of how to use the gear.
A to the men! #truth 👊🏻
If you really need someone to take you by the hand and help you ''choose a knife'' then you'll probably cut yourself with it!... hopefully in the comfort of your house playing with it and not '' out there '' ... that can turn nasty!.... but yes!... the best knife is the one you got in your hands... and is better than a stone axe our ancestors had!...
The Best Knife Talk by far!... Honestly?.... IT'S ALL ABOUT SKILL... that comes with experience, a knife is just a bladed tool... an evolution to the All Mighty Axe!...
Thank you! You’re right.. It wasn’t that long ago that the axe was considered the most important tool. In modern times we require heavy duty use out of a knife- and people definitely don’t have as much experience with blades as they used to.. Experience and skill are key!
@@FueltheFires the very first offensive weapon to our ancestors was a rock ... I guess a stick became the first defensive weapon [ STAY CLEAR!...] so rock on a stick was the first ''weapons upgrade'' and here's your first form of an AXE... the sword came later, and look at one of the first swords... the Egyptian bronze khopesh its just an axe, without the bulk of the metal, to make it lighter to swing...
also, the ancient Greek copis was the same [ both copis and khopesh have the same pronunciation but in Greek means ''cutter'' so I guess the use of a Greek word to describe it should mean something... ] Anyway... blah-blah history etc The point is blade... the blade in your hands and the skill to use it... Awesome, the end! lol

As for you and everyone else Stop putting the toilet paper roll on with the paper on the backside Stop putting pineapple on a pizza Stop painting over outlet covers Stop doing tip retention tests on knives, Stop claiming .45 acp is superior to anything. Stop taking a bite out of the middle of kitkats. Stop asking to speak to the manger. Stop paying $9 for bean water because it has a mermaid on the front and your name misspelled on the side. Stop telling me to click like and subscribe. And stop using click bait youtube titles.
Every now and then you get a gem like this one 😂
It took at least 6 minutes to make this comment. Dude, like wtf, you could’ve left at anytime. But lets sit and watch an informative vid and then bitch about it.. like that makes sense. I’m gonna add you to my prayer list. Hopefully you find some peace, and a better use of your time.
@@vada27 Make sure you include you getting a sense of humor to that list. You really read all that and it never occurred to you that this could be making light of him saying hes getting in our angry little faces? Are you the reason a laugh track had to be invented? Come on bro lighten up
Benchmade has gone woke...just say no!!!
Except for the Benchmade, all the other cutting tools make great survival knives (cheeky monkey). Hello Mr. Morris.! Opinions & situation changes...true indeed mate. That is why our dad made two knives for each of us. A small knife, similar to the Izula with a full flat grind and medium size with a scandi, both with 1095. Dad also modified a generic multitool for outback usages. What makes the best survival knife..?? No such thing really BUT what makes the best survival tool.? A combination of functional appliances to suit the enviroment. We have tested all three tools in the field (3 days). We were quite ripe when we got home & had to shower outside but we reckon Mum was concerned that we brought back a couple of poisonous snakes & a nest of Redback spiders. Of course we had to safely relocate them if we want dinner. We love watching vids like yours, it encourage us to be more dilligent & be very aware of our surroundings. So...when will the next bugout/survival/rescue or getting to grandma's to rescue her from shtf vid? Cheers Mr. Morris. BTW mum thinks you're a cuddly Yogi bear.! Stay safe matey. Australia is watching..!!
Haha.. Great story and I love that your dad made those tools for you- you were raised right for sure.. Love that you pointed out “survival tool”.. That’s a great way to say it and I agree 100%.. I’ve always wanted to go to Australia- y’all have some wicked nasty snakes and spiders for sure!!! I know I would have a blast down there. Thanks for watching and I really appreciate the kind words- you will definitely see more adventure films in the future 🔥
I just bought a tora kukri today.
Rock on 🤘🏻
@@FueltheFires I got the WW2 Angkhola. Almost got the Sano since it’s a little smaller and my first kukri I’ll have owned. Super stoked. Should ship by October.
@@christophermichaels6569You should be! You will LOVE the chopping power- a most excellent choice for an all around tool that will do just about anything you need it to.. Godspeed
@@FueltheFires heck yeah even more excited! Thanks friend.
The equation of your skill level ant your arthritis level will change over time,......and so will your idea of the best knife.
I can attest for this as well.. The struggle is real
Jason Salyer Told me he was an expert….🤔 jk he carries a small knife, you know what that means 🍆
HUGE amount of confidence 😂
