Thanks DBAD for the shout out !! Ya know , I thought you were just about to cut your hot tub in half ( with all that wind - good God )!!! Yes !! Lovin’ my Legionnaire!! Awesome knife !! Only one complaint ; I don’t know if the Legionnaire was ever sold in an “ Expendables “ movie box ??? The one I got wasn’t . It’s rather in a cool Red Hibben Box ( funny thing about that ; on the corner of the box , it reads “ Featured in BLADE “.., I was like “ WTF !?!? This was in the movie BLADE too “!?!?! And then I put on my reading glasses and in very small letters , under Blade , it reads “ The Worlds #1 Knife Publication “.... Thought I was loosing it bro ! Anyway - Thank you for another great video !!!

I was doing chopping today, I love making big bits of wood small. It keeps me entertained for hours.👍🏼 I only bled a bit today and wasn’t from my blade! (I was chopping prickles) Pretty stoked. The Bowie ain’t half bad.👍🏼

OK I never get to flex but I got to hang out and photograph while Mr Hibbens worked. He also opened the safe and let me hold the knives and prop knives from the Expendables. I am so glad to see you using the knife like a knife while giving a nod the art. You never fail to impress. I would live to see you take one for Mr Hibbens knife making classes.

@DonnieBAllDay2 жыл бұрын
@@TheSkylineGODZILLA A better shape than the MK9 for sure, but not as attractive as the sweet lines of the MK8. Gil made a living designing some really ugly fantasy knives so the name alone means nothing to me. He has some sweethearts and he has some ugly step sisters. What I dont like about this design is the flat spine into the sharp step and the super high tight recurve.

The Serpentine? If so, it's full tang and that's a plus. The only issue I've had with United blades(M48s and Boshin series) are the weak handle construction. If the handle is plastic, I wouldn't trust it too much. But I don't think the Survival is. You might have a good one there.
