Out of the two videos I've got done, which should I post on Friday? TOPS Backpacker Bowie or Condor Amalgam? Reply with your vote.

Whao! Gorgeous. I'm having trouble breathing. Big shiny knives are where it's at for me. MORE like this Chris.

I have a cheap knife with a similar profile to this and I love it. I can feel my heart beating faster just looking at this knife. Gorgeous tool.

Just pulled the trigger on one, can’t wait!!! Thanks for the review man.

Dan definitely knocked the blade design out of the park with this one! I love the new handle on it. It shares the same handle as the Machete and the new Crusader. I hope you get to do a review on the Crusader!

I thought I was done with big knives, well done with carbon steel ones anyway. I'll have you know Chris your videos have inspired me to buy JX4 and the LT Outback.....today.....within minutes of each other.

Three years later i just ordered a Tope Recon based on your opinion and really looking forward to getting my hands on it! I appreciate the review!!

Dan Topes blades are always sick! No surprise there! Great vid and bad ass blade!

Oh God bless you you are doing super great-uncle shaky you are blessing the world

That is my new favorite knife, I may even like it more than my Randal. Thanks Chris a must have, Stay Safe !

G'day Chris, Are you kidding me... I was on the email to Paul at DLT when I saw the thumbnail of this video BEFORE I watched it! Just on the strength of your title. If you reckon it's 'better than Jess..." that's good enough for me; the video is a great bonus. Thanks Chris! Cheers, BH

Great review. I got one with Blue/Black G10 w/ Orange Liners. For what ya get, the price is really good imo.

Was really impressed with this video, was lucky I found one in good condition and was able to snatch it... will be reviewing on my channel soon! This thing looks A+ and if the weight feels light as you claim, I think this might be the missing piece I had been looking for :)

I agree a smaller one would be a great piggyback with that one. Like in a custom kydex sheath. Great review thanks.

Very nice ! Yes that harpoon "tip" is kinda the rage now. I recently got a Spyderco Magnitude and the tip has a harpoon design. Looks like a terrific knife you reviewed.

Ok Chris, you did it again. Thank god I'm retired and have disposable income. I viewed the video, and promptly went to DLT trading and bought one. Now Iv'e got a big brother for my Bark River Cub.....lol. Great review as always, keep up the good work. I'm headed up to the mountains, about 4 1/2 hrs. from home. Bringing both of my new knives with me, along with my new Daniel Defense M4 V7 PRO (have my own gun range out there). Should be a heck of a great week carving and shooting.

Got mine last weekend, Awesome

BUYING!! Going to go well with my JX5💥

I LOVE BIG KNIVES! THATS WHY I LOVE YOUR KZfaq CHANNEL 😁

What a beautiful knife.

I want one to pair with my jx4 now. Til now it’s been with my old and trusty Ontario marine raider 10” Bowie. Love the jx4 btw it’s my favorite of your designs

Nice plaid shirt Chris , Great video as usual

I've bought many used Bark river knifes, love them. I've sold my Bravo 1.5 3v and DLT shipped my Tope recon today, my first new Barky, can't wait. maybe it can replace my bravo1.25 too(would love a 1.25 LT 3v though)

Love the one on you right hip.

Very sweet looking knife!

Just pulled the trigger on one. Woot!

Just ordered one today from DLT

Got mine ordered now just need that sm companion !

I really like the design. And I love the convex grind on how it performs. Except I absolutely hate sharpening convex grinds lol. I personally can never have the grind look as pretty as first out the box

I have a ramped on pre-order that I’m waiting to finalize. It’ll be a sad day indeed if I can’t swing the price.

I think I would like to see the TOPS Backpacker Bowie myself. That Bravo Tope Recon is awesome looking

I love the jx5v1 sheath. It works great.

Great video! I really want this knife since i saw the first drawings!!!

Cool knife... I'd have to Dremel a better finger choil on it though! Thanks for sharing!!

Series sounds good. Would like to see in a four inch. Plus it would maybe fit in my budget.

Got the last one with blue denim handles, toxic green liners, and the ramp!

Great video!!

Have you tried the Bark River Survivor?

Bad ass knife !

Very cool looking knife. A bit different looking, but if the balance is as you say, worth It.

Prep Mind 101 picked a good knife. I was skeptical at first. So, after much consideration I bought this knife with burlap micarta scales and black liners, no ramp (I don't like the ramp on my Bravo 1.25 3V). The Tope Recon with burlap looks great and goes well with the Obenauf's treated sheath which I treated. PROS: Perfect size for many tasks, best handle even for my L-XL hands (fits my wife's small hands equally well) except the pommel (more on that), sharp, grind is excellent, weight forward balance, chops way out of its weight and length class, was able to carve feather sticks even in hard oak, the shark fin grows on you. CONS: Pommel is WAY too sharp and annoying out of the box for snap chops (I smoothed it out with a Dremel and Cratex cone), sheath is slightly short, if you jam the knife in hard after oiling it it may contact the rivets. MODS I'd like to see: I'd like to try it with a forward finger choil and longer sheath or Kydex.

Whata up Chris? Just bought this, and the bravo 1... both black micarta, both rampless, the tope that I got has red liners and brass hardware though. The plain black micarta were sold out at dlt. Can't wait to get them. I wanted the 3v survivor, but NOBODY has any left ANYWHERE. Hopefully I'll like the tope.

That harpoon blade style is pretty cool...

Got one on the way!!!

The Condor, definitely!

That thing is bad ass

LOOK AT IT!.........beautiful knife. The closest thing I have to that is the timber rattler western outlaw Bowie knife.........Ha!

That is nasty... Can't wait to see the devx

That knife is sick ill add it to my lottery winnings wish list as for the next vid i think it should be the tops

Heavy metal Chris! I love a primo blade!

Chris knows his shit..me and him were in NAM together..2 tours..67 and 68

Everything but the blade shape looks good. That blade would play havoc on batons.

I'm not that keen on the handle but I love the blade !

Tope! Hell yeah!

I like your knife reviews! Consider doing the ( condor moonshiner ) shes a beast! Youed like it if you haven't already tried it out.

Beautiful awesome knife but I can't swing that flow for something I'll use 4_5 times a year all job 💪

A 5” version of this would be like my ultimate knife of all time

Sorry off topic but do you review any rope saws? Recommend any? A couple are high reviewed on Amazon

Is there a difference between the tope recon and tope recon field version?

Got to love USA made knives .

How does it compare to the Bark River Dark Timber in chopping?

As for big knives I'm perfectly happy with my Skrama and Duku Chandong.

Tis was made for Battoning. I want one.

Man i am so pissed that I just discovered this knife on the net 2 years after the fact, only to find that not only is it actually a really good knife, but that there isn't a BRK Tope Recon CPM 3V Field in Bastogne Walnut anymore and the lucky fucker who owns one would probably rather swallow it than sell it. Great video man.

Do more flashlight reviews please

I know that you have favorite bushcraft, large camp,, and chopper knives, but which one would be your knife to take on Alone?

Are they going to make this one again ?

DAMNIT......I just ordered number two...... its so epic! im telling myself its an investment, they are limited edition and its the first run

they seem almost impossible to buy.... how do you even get one?

Very cool... the design looks a lot like the Spartan Horkos combat/ utility knife, which I own. So, if this knife works even half as good then it's well worth the money! Now I'm stuck cause I was just about to order the LTWK SOSPES and now I don't know what to do! Help!

How well does this thing slice tomatoes ? ;-)

You like, I like too !! H.

Just got one black handle from DLT. When is DevX going to be out?? Do you know when Jessmuk Companion is going to be made?? I did the pre ordet.

I remember you loved the FOBOS Legion. Would you rank this above that one? I do like my Tier 1 but now I’m torn...

How many yachts can you water ski behind?樂

Sexy blade sir. Keep that one. New list.....The Savage List. I give The Neville Savage approval like you need it :p

Think I would stick with the Honey Badger

Dose it take out the grizzly

Chris ... and how about Mad Dog Knives..? Why you don’t do reviews on Mad Dog Knives...?

Hey Chris... so first love your videos. But real quick I'm debating between this knife (the bravo tope) and the fobos legion. I know your love of 3v but am good with either 154 or 3v. Your legion video made it seem like it was such a great "wood hog", a great slicer, and a fairly good chopper for its size. You totally sold me on it & once it came back in stock I was going to pounce. Do you think the bravo tope is better in those regards? Cuz I want that kind of full length bush knife with minor chopping capabilities -- but which is better in your opinion? I wouldn't really want to go much bigger than the tope.

Cool vid

I've been drooling over this knife on FB, thanks for showing it in action. I'm curious, is there a purpose for the fin (not sure this is the correct term) on the spine?

bark river or work tuff gear?

KSF BLACK FRIDAY 20% off got this same exact knife for 234.00

been lookin at this knife but the handle scales looked a lil thin

Does this have a Sharpened spine ?

needs a hand gaurd.i know it's easier to make one without a gaurd, it just makes it safer if it has one.

Damn that's a beauty. What would you recommend as a daily carry folder for someone on a budget ?

I see a modified Jx5. Id go w the jx5

WOW I need one of them 😃. When is devX ready Chris

Are they that shall not be named still putting your name on the JessX?

I will admit the harpoon thing wasn't my bag at first but... It's growing on me...

TOPS. NICE GAW. TNX.

Tell the truth Chris, did you jump up and down a little, laughing maniacally when you first unboxed it? LOL

A nice knife. But isnt it front heavy with that harpun tip.

Damnit Chris !!! Your killing my bank acct. !!!!!

Really needs a true choil. One that is rounded.

Ha! The wife smiled... Is that a go ahead and buy it?

Stiffy for sure !!!

I preordered it but don’t think I’m going to be able too afford it.
