I just wanna hear DCA do a knives of the week video in his KZfaq shorts voice.

Links don't work

The only one i dont trust is the gerber, ive owed several and they were garbage, especially for the price tag, now cold steel i will bet my life on, i have personal experience with cold steel and even their budget knives are crazy, i currently own the mini tac tanto, and the recon tanto fixed blade in SK-5, and ive chopped down black oak saplings with it, blade dulled to a butter knife after the 3rd sapling but that was the only damage it took, my current "crown of my collection" is my newly acquired heretic knives seraphim, 154CM steel, havent put it through any tests other then a couple sharpness tests, but by the gods ive never owned a knife as sharp as this beast

@@neft5449it’s beyond frustrating. Happens a lot on these shorts.

Try and tell JoeX that you cannot destroy these! 😂

Just means its easy to make in bulk for cheap most of the time

@@Juan-rd5jf yeah, cheap enough, good enough

Military specifications are usually pretty good. It is the products that the military actually uses are usually crap because they get the products from the lowest bidder not the highest quality.

Military grade = the best of the best of the cheapest

Mil-spec vs Mil-grade....

Masterful engagement bait... I was gonna say the same thing. The question is whether the first two or last two were the mistakes

"He's just like me ft" moment I too sometimes start counting backwards when I need to do a countdown

Dang.......

He never included the Ka-bar honestly a beast of a knife. This knife was made back before we got everything from China. It served in WW2 and was one of the toughest knives I ever used. That was probably his #1 pick. Edge retention was great on it and the tip never broke when I used it for prying tasks. I did some work on it though because this antique is one of the prettiest knives I own.

​@@minecraftpro2074Unfortunately, I think the modern ones are less rugged, with a rat tail tang that notoriously snaps when people treat a Kabar like people used to treat a Kabar.

If you even got em back!

Or a MARINE.

@@doublezzranch849 for some that is their co worker

​@@doublezzranch849*Nothing* is Marine proof. Army proof? Maybe. Navy proof? Possibly. Air proof? Easily. Marine Proof? Impossible.

I'm that coworker xD

TRC Mille Cuori and a ton of other knives,prove the opposite.

@@greekveteran2715 Nothings unbreakable my guy.

Technically you are both right cause that was only half of the original description of military specs as technically the full one goes "cheapest materials and contractor can be found to uphold military minimum standards" which means as long it does meet some minimum standards required by military, sure why pay more as state?

And as though as possible

Made by the lowest bidder

A had a fire in my house. The FD did more damage than the flames. 😂

@@johnnywishbone932 the flames would’ve done far more damage. Had those firefighters not risk their lives to put it out.

@@AlexanderMason1This is why we let firefighters break anything they want to.

@@Iknowtoomuchable is this sarcasm I smell?

...why were you beating on the spine of a knife with a log.

It's called "batonning", and it's an art.

Knives aren't made for batonning.

@jamesbaker3153 if it cant handle real world abuse it has no real world applications. Sure you shouldnt always baton but sometimes its needed so knowing your knife can handle it in case of an emergency is really important. If a knife breaks if it gets batoned the first time its nothing more than a display piece. Aak a blacksmith to make you a knife that can withstand batoning and then choose not to youll always know theres probably no way it will ever break

@@xMrjamjam everyone says in an emergency survival situation but they never actually carry these knives just because. i carry at least 15 knives including fixed blades.....

Mors Kochanski would be proud if it was skandi and 4-4.5 in lol.

Also love my esse junglas!

5 was designed to cut your way out of an aircraft that crashed lol, if 1/4in steel isn’t thick enough you are beyond using a knife

Love my esee 5 , but on a daily basis I use the candiru

An heirloom piece IMO.

It really is mine lasted for 10 years of abuse and a the last year I broke it hitting wrong with a hammer broke the tip off

I have a bk2 from about 5 years ago that I have used harder than any other tool because I got it cheap (like 50 bucks) at the time so I didn't care if it broke I've literally cut a 2foot circumstance tree down with mine made into an axe after my scales broke off

I mean it is, however you can also do just the same with a screwdriver if you know what you are doing . js.

​@@michaelegbert7217if they're heading to put the gut hook on the BK3 it would have lasted another 10 years. But yeah I use mine as a chisel for work as a carpenter

Love my bk3!

Consider yourself lucky, you managed to get the one decent knife Gerber's made in the last 13 years. I'm slightly envious.

If you put some alcohol wipes in your wallet, you’ll have lint free disposable and durable blade cleaners.(before and after said cheesburger lol).

Really was

I mean, not really. There was a jump in the video. Like a hiccup.

You guys actually consider this loop trick that's overplayed good content? Idk man

@@swingonthespiral make a better one

@@genarosepulveda9260 it's not art.

My sheath broke knife is busted but still works great for it's purposes

Gerber strongarm made in Oregon is the master race

Gerber lmf is dog s**t😊

I have an original LMF. A BMF too.

​@@jonstackelin1861I agree, I haven't had the LMF ii but my strongarm has been a great knife for years and I'm very, very hard on it.

Unless you're cutting through live quotes why onearth would you want a partial tang knife?

@@bounceorbreak though normally I prefer fully exposed tangs on my fixed blades, the LMF 2 was designed specifically to have the tang and the pommel separate so you wont electrocute yourself when pounding through fuselage. 99% of us don't need a feature like that, but most of us aren't buying this crap out of necessity. It's cool dude. That's why I want it

I have an LMF II and that thing is tough, highly recommend it

Sturdy MF

But 1095 high carbon is too soft, D2 holds an edge forever

But you can resharpen the 1095 with anything anywhere. A rock, a car window etc. Not so much with the super steels.

This, the Esse 5 is one of my top three favorites. My absolute favorite is my Chris Reeve Pacific. Something about that look just does it for me.

@@davidsmith8687D2 is junk…

😅😅😅

Water:

It’s 5 months later did you ever manage to get the book out of your mouth? From where you took the comment bait?

You beat me to it.

He did 4max and if i recall, it survived all tests?

Hell yeah at least some of us know joe x will break it!!!!

He broke the Becker & Esee 5. Broke the 4Max Scout on round two. I haven't seen him test the 4Max or the other two but I have faith in his ability 😅

@@bjdog42 Joe X could not break the Top's Tom Brown Tracker. Neither did a 9mm. In the end the, Joe destroy the TB Tracker using 5.56. Approve.

How does the KA-BAR Becker compare to the KA-BAR Big Brother?

Yeah but skeleton tangs. I tried breaking mine and couldn’t but I’ll pick ESEE any day. Love my bk16 tho still

@@AceCorrthe big brother is just the regular kabar classic but with a bigger blade.. weak tang, because there basically isn’t one. But they’re cool!

@@Sirlants_alot Could you please teach me where is the tang on the knife and why is it important? I am no knife expert; however, the regular KA-BAR classic was already powerful enough to kill a Kodiac bear. Therefore, I figured the Big Brother should definitely be good enough to inflict injury on any wild predator that tries to attack me.

My buddy has one and loves it. I was gonna buy one but they went way up in price. Still worth it tho

You haven't seen the OG, Mayor Fuglycool have you ? Mayor Fuglycool

​@@MayorFuglycoolslol

🤟🤟🤟

He couldn't break the $20 hultafors heavy duty.

I was thinking the same thing!

Bro every Tops Knife has broken on JOEX granted they are cool looking knives and JOEX puts them through the ringer. But TOPS always fail.

@@georgequiroz5691 So, some random KZfaq jack-off destroyed a knife by banging it against a pipe and a rock. Tell me you know absolutely NOTHING about knives without telling me that you know absolutely NOTHING about knives. Yeah, I think I'll just stick with my "real World"/pragmatic experience(s).

​@@georgequiroz5691Even the BOB?

@@ShelfStablePrepper idk if he did that one. But silent hero and blackout operator 7 failed his test. They split in shards.

You use 5 knives every day to carry out ranch work details? Wow that's impressive, do you carry all five at once or just swap to a different knife every couple of hours?

I had an ESEE 4 and it was a beast

​@xxpjmxx928 Well they do have things like the Turok, it's not really the blades that are the problem tbf

Kabar fighting knife is not close

The problem is in the tang

Yeah, the modell ”Robust” is a beast

Same with the hultafors GK or OK4

There made of stainless steel..

@@Guru_of_ganja No, there are a lot of morakniv knives with carbon steel.

@@Trad.okay.. still not that good. Sorry

That's what I'm saying! Just use the right tool for the job, it's not hard.

​@@loganchappell8425if you are a military in a mission or parachuted maybe you won't to go around with an aze in the pocket😂

@@davidegatti4689 It just so happens that I'm not. Because I'm not, I don't need a super knife. I can carry my little Opinel no.8 in my pocket for knife things and my Gransfors Bruk hatchet on my belt for hatchet things. What does military equipment have anything to do with the very wide range of options available to civilians?

Cut him some slack it went 5432*5

😂😂😂😂
