so your only parameter for knives is toughness? Then get something made from z-tuff. That steel excels at it (but is shit in other aspects) personally I care about much more things when it comes to knives but I also dont hit stones with them

I love this guy, he does everything the warranty tells you not to do.

My daily dose of addiction- joex knife tests !

To the people complaining about how hard these tests are, have you ever had to cut your way out of a vehicle? No? I have, and I appreciate these kind of tests. This shit is important. Thank you Joe!

Great video Joe. Thanks for your dedication to this subject matter. The results of this test is exactly why I think the tip test in the log should come BEFORE the knife meets Mr Brick

Another killer video Joe, Thanks man i was needing it! Yeah that blade shot out of there! good to know when enemy approaches.

I love the way you throw the sheath away knowing it will never go back in , the knife 🔪 was doing so well at first with the stab test , can cut ✂️, then the brick it when bombed 💣 to bit's, it looked a cool blade at first but as shown push it a limits, didn't last long in Joe's hands no surprise there , I am careful before I buy any knife now until I see Joe the destroyer test's it first, hail Joe hail Joe hail Joe ♥ 😀 😉 😊 😄 👍 ♥.

Great Fukn Video. Great Work Brother !! Thanks!

Looks like mora has a new ballistic knife!

Hey Joe! Gotta question. What folding knife would you recommend/ what knife (or knives) have never broke on you in one of these torture tests??

The mask is awesome. Works great. Forest Camo is cool too. I like your patches. You tip test is great. I love have you make sure! Handles do some wired things when shot. Always cool to see how handles hold up and see inside the handle.

It's pretty much my main complain about Morakniv, the tiny thin tangs. All Moras I broke were at the point between blade and handle.

Love the video and the mora!

Now I understand why they named it the Pathfinder , it let off to find a path 🤣

The Mora Pathfinder, true it can't doing anthing that the Mora Bushcraft Black can't do but I love mine all the same. Great steel, light, super strong, comfortable in the hand and fun to use. Winner, winner chicken dinner.

WOW!

„Gut, besser, Gösss… Zack!“ 😂❤️🍻

WTF...all was so good and promising 'till the brick... Actually you could just re-handle the knife and make a Mora Black...nice feature Mora!!!

I`d be interested to see how the Bahco 2449 "Wrecking Knife" does in your tests. this is just another low budget carbon steel knife at least realtively similar to mora or hultafors from a notable manufacturer which also expressly allows according the description on the blister packaging that you can use a hammer to pound on the blade spine to "wreck" things. - certainly not something you see expressly stated in the instructions of other knives...

SICK 🔪❤️😎🎥

We need free beer here then if that's why you get free beer lol. Thanks Joe !

Mora was good until they became big and more expensive. Great work as always, and yes, keep your mask on. Stay safe.

„What the fuck just happened!“ Shwuiiiiing! 😂🍻

Good Joe 👍 Still just and right 🙏👊✌️

Sorry I can’t help but laugh at you sometimes ahahaha 😂

Haha! I did NOT expect that on the brick hit!! First hit broke the blade and it came flying out on the second swing down! And Thank goodness for that mask!!!

Thank you for this review! When I saw this knife first time - I thought I need this knife... but after your tests... ohh... What is your suggestion of good knife with fixed blade (around 100$)?

Thanks for the review. Can you review the (Schrade SCHF51)?

Joe got a mora ballistic knife hahahaha Marlboro! 👍🇺🇸❤️💯

wow Joe - at time stamp 5:40 it shows the the tang totally snapped from inside the handle the blade didn't strike the stone at time of breakage - it broke on the first strike and was ejected on the next - the blade technically didn't actually break - this was unexpected - i thought it would hold like the companies much cheaper line

Hi Jo which is the toughest knife you have tried ?

Hello, I want to buy Espada XL, do you think to buy it or not, its price is 30000 rubles.

I figured you would brake it at some point. I was very, very impressed with the antler test. That usually breaks the blade.

Martin, what do you mean it doesn't help?! I, for one, had almost ordered a Shrapnel One when I saw the test by JOE X. So I bought a Silent Hero instead - because I saw the test of that from JOE X. JOE saved me 250 euro, which I would have spent on a too hyped knife instead of a really good knife...

You are good, JoeX.

Lets face it. This knife is NOT a survival knife. But it is a Mora. That makes it a 6 inch, Very light weight razorblade with a very comfortable handle. Throw the crappy sheath in the bin. And make yourself a kydex one with a pocket clip (cargo pants) Its so light, you will forget you are carrying it.. Its not the knife you would use to build a log cabin with.. But it is a very very sharp 6 inch blade that unless you waved it around in public.............. Love your videos Joe x I usually watch them before I buy a new knife..

Man, I wish our beer would be really free, haha.

British MOD Survival knife (as they're commonly called today) would be very fun to watch.

I was thinking I needed the Pathfinder. Naa happy with the Mora robust. In fact try a remake of All the knives who surviving the test

@Martin Erhard I watched some videos of your recommended knive testers Cedric and Ava. They cut paper, apples and twigs. That is good for them, but not good enough for Joe X. He does not cut apples. He cuts down apple trees using an Opinel pocket knife. 💪

Thanks Joe. I almost waisted $80!!!!

„I need blood in the morning!“ 😂❤️🍻 Very entertaining video and not that good for knife bäschtler 🍻

„Look at this bullshit knife!“ 😂❤️🍻

Impressive until the blade ejected. Proving brick is the bigger prick, so big it scared the blade away.

Very funny!

Glad there were no people around. The blade went completely straight. How did you do that?

Word has spread and now the knives are running away from you! 😆

The tip 😱

Love Morakniv Sweden 🇸🇪 Vietnam 🇻🇳 😁😁

Damn Joe, the military is going to be contacting you soon to do destruction tests for the Department of Defense!

I’ve wanted to see a 3v And. 1095 same tests And s

Hey Joe, "Let's do some edge action " - .... Maybe not 😊

Joe, I have an unusual request. Can you test the harbor freight survival knife. But only after you modify it with JB Weld. What they do is take the knife apart. Coat the tang with JB Weld, let it cure for a couple of days. Then test it. It's a real budget knife. Not worthy of testing unless you modify it. But I would enjoy watching you test this. The youtuber "Doug Shou" has a nice video of the modifications.

What's your opinion on chisel grind knives ?

Can't believe the knife tip survived the first few stabbing through the steel.

😎👍

You just saved me $80 Thank you Sir

The Mora 749 held up longer. But the edge is soft as butter. I had that one also. The edge would easily roll/bend. This Pathfinder is too hard it seems? And the tang broke crazy fast... Not all Mora's are created equally. The lower priced ones are able to to suffer for a longer time before the end game. When did you buy that Pathfinder? If I'm correct the older ones had a problem. But maybe they are still like that?

Somebody should make suitable blade for joe...and that blade will be boom on the market!

I aspect that, for a simil long blade the tang is too small. Also in batoning is not so strong as other moras

Try the aitor jungle king 1, 2, & 3

Hilarious video. I like this knife tough

It broke at the exactly same spot where Survival Lillys broke! Must be an Austrian thing.🤔😝

ITS A REALLY FkING KNIFE WOW 🤩

I think this is the disavantage of high carbon steel when the heat treatment is only aim for edge retention and not good at improving toughness. That's why Mora's carbon steel (1% C) seems to be more brittle than their stainless steel (12C27 and 14C28N). While 0,8% carbon steels like SK5 (Hultafors) will be much more tough than Mora's XC100 (but for cutting tasks using Mora carbon will be more liked).

Is this bustcrafting or breakcrafting?

I love these videos wait....what... government funded beer can I move in for 30 days!!!!! Just until I get residency

It's interesting because Mora uses one type of carbon steel for all the knives, namely C100, and all the others were characterized by flexibility in the tests.

You do it so we don't have to !!

Always wondered why we would ever stab a vehicle door?

Hey, did you contact with Tac? Or him with you? :)

One thing bothers me about Mora knives. All the ones I own, except for the fillet one, have a slightly bent blade from the factory.

Dave Canterbury has a video where he gives this knife a test on more of those bush craft tasks and it held up fine. Was surprised to see it fly apart from one hit on the brick.

Wow Thanks Pro Love Pro ❤

I'm really disappointed in the performance of this knife but awesome test as always! If I want a strong outdoor knife with a longer blade I will stick with my Cold Steel 6" Outdoorsman Lite in 4116:) If need something bigger and indestructible I'll take a 1055 Machete or a Hatchet!

oh no mister joe!

seems the mora stainless is a better option over the carbon

Ok, here's the summary of Joe's tests so far..... If you want an indestructible survival blade, you have 3 options -- 1) Carry a thick 3.5" to 4" blade 2) Carry a 1055 Machete 3) Carry a Hatchet! Anything else and it will get its ass kicked in Austria!

Could you please try out a 3v cold steel. SRK

Good thing you wear the mask! When that tip broke it looked like it went straight for your eye.

I thought you'd have run out of beer while Merkel was in. 😂

I like this knife for its spartan and military look, pity about its weakness

Joe Now You know these are not hammers/chizzles/prybars, right? 😂😂😂

Two brick whacks and the blade flies off moving straight like I kunai in a Ninja movie lololol. That was hard to believe. It was doing pretty well till it wasn't

Joe take the filter off your gas mask , will allow us to her you better and still allows protection for your face .

That car door had it coming did you see the way it was looking at path finder ...thats just asking for trouble....but then the log walked into the bar andjust started on path finder right away no messingabout 😜😜😜😜.cheapest I've seen one on sale was £65 from natural man ...well worth a punt ..

More like Cookfinder! Saw this knife in kitchen cutting raw meat. If kitchen chef wants to be tactical for some reason, this is good choice 😊.

Test a Bradford Guardian 3.5 Tanto

Does government beer = good beer? Looks like a degloving of the bullet’s Cu jacket. Given your sensitivity to whimsical PG stuff, you probably don’t want to look into that.

More testing with wood 💪

Good job you are doing. Where are you from?! Accent, i will say russian, madness i will say romanian or albanian.

Lol literally everyone out buying this knife now off of the back of this 😁😁😁😁

Take care Joe. I think the knives are trying to get back at you. Good thing your mask saved your eye. Looking forward to more destruction. As maragret says... All hail Joe. All hail Joe 🙌🙌🙌

Mora Ballistic knife.

German 4116 Cold steel,Nuff Said

The Mora Pathfinder is a good lightweight knife but the blade is too thin for extreme uses. Even though it is a good choice for opening, beer cans quickly. I have a Carpenter Craft model and Mora a utility all round model. Both cost much less to buy than a pathfinder. The blade on the Pathfinder broke at the weakest point of the blade. This is a flaw of the design. The price point of the knife is too expensive for the purpose use of the knife. The Mora craft carpenter model has a 148-mm carbon steel blade and a 2.5-mm blade thickness and priced at $25 dollars. The Pathfinder has a 171 mm carbon steel blade and 3.2-mm blade thickness and costs $88 dollars. You pay $63 dollars more for a blade coating, 23-mm longer blade, 0.7-mm thicker blade and the nylon sheath. That is a significant reason to not buying a Mora Pathfinder. The same reason Mora discontinued the carpenter model; you can still find the 731 model at higher price. I agree with you, it is a Mora 💩 model for the price. 😅🤣😂

Hi bro,that knife didn't took your test well at all 🤣🤣,bullshit knife indeed my friend !cool video anyway!

Ооооо нееет!!! Морра..... Как так? Я расстроен.

It makes no sense to me to have a knife with a blade that long an have a stick tang. What many don't know stick tangs are not all bad. Puuko get away with it because they have through tang. it's also good when the tang tapers but goes all the way through the handle. I don't like the thin tang just stops in the middle of a plastic handle. I've never much liked mora the edge is very weak. I prefer a V grind or a convex. But I'm rather hard on stuff
