It would be hard to choose from all the knives you have tested. Buying one of each would cost a small fortune. However, the ones you have kept as collection pieces are favorites for more reasons than being the best. I would buy the same ones without hesitation from your recommendations. Most of the knives I have are older ones because of being older. I have mostly Cold Steel heavy-duty knives. Cold Steel did similar testing of their knives from the start. I have a VCR tape made before I ever owned or needed a computer or cellphone. Watching your video testing is great entertainment and fun to see. I have learned more than I knew before from your videos. You show a higher level of extreme testing of knives have taken it to a higher level than done before. I believe knife makers have learned as much from your video testing as your subscribers have. You may not get credit from any but be certain you deserve it. It would be interesting to hear your opinion on folding knives as well. There are few to none that come close to fixed blade performance. Looking forward to seeing what comes in 2023. Happy New Year to you.🍻🎊✨⚔

🤗🤗🤗 thanks I am really flattered 😇😊

I like that when you say a knife is nearly indestructible, we can actually take your word for it.

Given how you’ve beaten these knives to death, you have a better understanding than most. Your opinion is solid !

I hope to one day be buying a knife designed by YOU. At this point, you know what blade style and steel types hold up the best. I think a Joe X designed knife would be excellent.

Thanks for this great video Joe. I have always valued durability in my knives. But your unique testing and cinematography have given me a new perspective. I bought an APO 1S before I started watching your tests and I'm pleased to see how highly you value it. I had my eye on the Gerber Strongarm and I finally bought one after seeing how well it did in your tests.

Gotta say I’m very impressed with survival Lilly’s knives. I’m a big fan of Ontario but I love coldsteel folders. Great set of knives. I love how you’ve proven just because something is expensive doesn’t mean it’s the best. Hope you got everything straight hate to lose ya after all the work you’ve done. Your real making a difference I’ve seen your name pop up in many comments even on a few Amazon reviews. That’s pretty impressive in my opinion. Have a good one bro.

This is the only knife video on youtube that is worth watching, it has the evidence of what is an actual good knife. I wish this video was around 10 years ago. i would have saved 1000s of $$$$..

Before I invest in any fixed blade knife I always look to your channel for that quality stress test.

Thank you so much my man. Didn't expect you to send away a whole video for my inquiry. A very great & caring youtuber we have here people! May god bless you always for your great work & sacrifice. Long live Sir Joe X 💪

The final explanation makes this the best survival knives selection ever made!.

Of course you choose better than us and I'm glad that your choices are not about price but about durability. Thanks for this top, great suggestions 👍👏👍

I like your lack of prejudice and your great choices based on the hard tests you do.

Terava makes great products. Probably my favorite overall. ESEE is my favorite American brand knife. Basically a pry bar with an edge.

Congrats Survival Lilly. 👍 It's nice to see Esee in up there too. So many good blades, and Aus-8 is sweet as well. Thanks JoeX for all you do and have a knife holiday season. 🔪👍🗡️

Cheap and indestructible. Love the choices, a few of my own favorites are on that list!

Happy fuckin new year to you too, Joe X and all you other crazy Joe X fans.

Wicked! Love that you’re not fixated with “super steels”.

Now that’s a review that all field crafters should listen to 👍❤️🇺🇸💯

Been waiting for this, this extra bonus for Christmas !

All the effort you put in what you are doing duly appreciated! Couple of reminders/remarks: a. Bahco 2449 HD Wrecking Knife? It is cheap and indestructible - the manufacturer’s own schematics at the back of its box specifically show its spine can be beaten with a common metallic hammer and there are videos on KZfaq doing exactly this, without the knife showing any major damage! Made of C100 carbon steel [very similar to 1095]. b. SOG SEAL Pup & Team? c. “Jääkäripuukko” [Commando Knife - remember J. P. Peltonen’s Sissipuukko: Guerilla Knife or SpecOps (Unorthodox Warfare) Operative Knife] is pronounced like your German “Jäger” [= Hunter, hence Special Forces Operative - Commando or Raider], not like “Jackal” - it would be good to hear it correctly for once, especially from a European AND German speaker - I am sick of listening to the “Americans” butchering it!

Short and to the point, no unnecessary bullshit. I love it.

He did it!. I love the glock knife. Such a great price for such a great blade

Glad you had at least 1 Cold Steel in there. My favorite is my Recon Tanto, I would trust it with my life. It has lasted me a long time as a bush-beater knife and multi purpose tool

I also have a mora robust and it's one of my favorites too! Looking forward for the folding knife fav list

Hello my friend! 🔨 Geiler Kanal! Sauber wie Du den gehypten Stählen ihre Grenzen aufzeigst. Ich ahnte,dass mein SR 1 Lite sowie das 4Max Scout Panzer sind und du hast es bestätigt. Dir auch einen guten Rutsch. Grüße aus Deutschland und se Polski👌💪

Some people think that only $300-500 "super steel" knives work in the forest. But look at the tough knives Joe introduced that cost $20-60. I do everything from batoning to wood carving with a cheap Morakniv, SRK, or JP 110. Do you make shoes or tires out of steel instead of rubber to prevent wear and tear? Remember the purpose of a knife. Why do soldiers take tough, cheap knives to the battlefield? There are many expensive and fancy rifles in the world, but only the AK-47 and M16 are the best war gear. You should trust Joe X.

Very helpful! I have several of these in my collection, most recently the Ontario SP10. Now I have a better idea of what to keep and what to sell. Thank you SIr! 💪

I love that NedFoss made the list. Fantastic underrated knife.

My brother, thank you , big respect, big love, big blessings from God and happy new year to you!!!👍👍👍😃🙏💖🧿🤩

I was waiting for this my friend,, some fantastic knives there 👍👍,, Happy New Year, to you too,,, all the best,, John 👍

Impressive collection of knives. Thanks for the video!

Hey man. I own the Terava Jakkaripuuko 110 for 9 years already. It is an excellent knife. It's tougher than shit, the 80crv2 steel takes a quick sharp edge and I like it better than 1095. Thanx for the video my Bladed Brother 👍 ⚔️ ✝️ 🇺🇲

Yes! Thank you for this video! 👏👏👏 for sure I'll take it into consideration next time I buy a blade! 🙋‍♂️👍

YES YES YES

Canadian Prepper carries S. Lilly's APO 1 and is selling it in his shop.. and that guy has excess to very expensive gear... it is indeed a good survival knife.

BK7 might be one of the coolest looking knives ever. Come on Joe!

Eeee Bro! Thank you again for helping me make a choice! I wish you many responsive videos!❤

This will always be my favorite channel.

Next please your favorite folder 😁👌 Im neuen Jahr besorg ich mir das Cold Steel Ti-Lite in S35VN. Zum Teil dank Dir! Ich wünsche Dir und allen anderen einen angenehmen Rutsch ☺️✌️

Good start for a knifemaker. Relook what those knives handled and make it work with a super steel. Easy-peasy. :D Will do!

Finally Joe X (Survival Lilly) reveals her true identity.

All ready have and/or had most of your list...next in my sights are the APO’s...nice to know how they stack up...thanks

Good call, I have 4 Survival Lilly knives now. Your top 2 and 2 others she offered last year. Really well made, from Lilly who is a person who understands what a survival knife has to be

Very nice to see a clip about your favourites, bro'! Thank you so much!

Thanks, Joe! I have the SRK, both of the Ontarios, the Gerber and the Glock knife. I love cheap and durable. Happy New Year, friend.

I actually own that older design mora hq robust, I wonder if it would survive like that newer one. But I am not going to try 😅

Los Teraba y los Lily me encantan!!! El Glock fantástico, tengo uno hace mucho y es genial! Un saludo y feliz año para ti también amigo!!!!

Ahhh, good choices my friend. And guess what? You came to the same conclusion as the US Navy Seals-- that AUS8 was the best all around hard use/stain resistant/easy to sharpen/tough survival knife steel. That's why they've been carrying the SOG Seal Team Elite 7" AUS8 Fixed Blade for decades. Survival Lily is a smart cookie. She quickly saw that an AUS8 SRK was bombproof and smartly copied and modified it. The Terava Puukkos are excellent, but they rust easy and don't have as many features as the APO-1.

Awesome video. I just ordered a Terävä Skrama 240 ten minutes ago. Can't wait to take it into the mountains in a few weeks!

Merry blademas & a cutting new knife-year!🥰

I was going to ask you your favorite knives. You must have psychic premonitions , Super Joe. Thanks for doing this I like it . 🙂

thankyou JOE X, for sharing your favourites, 'ROCK ON' 👍 P.S. you have a focking good new-year too 👊🤣

All good picks, I love my EESE knives and the srk is next to bomb proof.

You are a most needed shower of truth for the knife world !!!

You broke knives ten-times more than knives I ever handle in my entire life, therefore I trust your conclusion.

Apo 1s is quite simply a good knife. I don't care what anyone says. All the best for the New Year friends. Looking forward to more mayhem and destruction 🐝👊👍

Love that Gerber Strongarm! Thanks for sharing.

Great line up! I've bought the raider Bowie , Glock 81 and sp6 from your videos.....tough blades all of them

I bought some knives on this list partly because of the tests here. No matter what others say, toughness is important unless you are just buying them to sit in the drawer.

Love your choices, good to see Survival Lilly at no. 1 and 2 which would be my choice as well. Since watching your videos, I no longer buy into the "Super Steel" myth. They all snap like pretzels but good old AUS 8, with a good heat treat will be there at the end of the day. Keep up the good work and all the best for you in the new year!

Happy to see Survival Lilly got the top spots. I'm going to save up for her AUS-8 beast.

Great list!👍 Survival Lilly will be thrilled. Happy New Year to all!

Some great blades on this list for sure!

Nice...love your vids...When you have time could you please do a vid on your top personal folding knives?

Awesome group of Knives ! 👍

I like how you jumped straight into the list; very good.

I was sure to find a spot for the Garberg ...

Skrama Nr.1🤘

These are all great choices in my opinion

happy new year my friend - i like all your choices - i like the big knives also

Hey joe x love your channel i have the skrama and love it and ive been hunting for the Ontario bowie with no luck yet thanks for the great video

Sehr geil! Danke für die blade-show. sehr geile Teile. K490 test wäre auch geil. Alles Gute auch Dir im nächsten Jahr.

Omg I own that skrama and strongarm and my friend haves jääkäripuukko I love your videos keep working man🔥🔥

Geil Mora,Cold Steel und Gerber auch eine meiner Favoriten 👌👍👍

100% agree, love your tests. Bravo

Got to respect a maverick in the knife industry.

Nice list. Happy New Year Joe X!🍾

Big ole 🙂 ! Glad you keeping it goin. I was bout to stop watching you tube

Happy New Year! Keep the videos coming. I don't own all of them but most of them and agree for the most part.

Fantastic knives. I prefer the cheap but my most used fixed blade is Cold Steel Outdoorsman in San Mai its so universally useful! Happy New fing year!

Joe X Sp 10 is a great blade. Enjoyed your review. You throw it like a champ. I like the Rat5 and RD6. Any future test on those?

I have a few of those. Good, solid knives at very good prices (well, most of them).

Joe have you tested the Colonial Knives Defiant CE-400? I would love to see a test on it. I gave both my daughters one along with a Mora 2000. Colonial Knives has a video doing destructive testing on the Defiant but, it would be nice to see an independent review and testing on the Defiant.

You have a very different taste in knives I like it. You changed my perspective. Never fucking quit you madman !!!!!!

Interesting list Joe, your knowledge is well appreciated.

I have the 110 and the Skrama they’re great for the money.

I like the glock and cold steel too, great video👍, we need a zombie wave some day to see you in action 😼😼

Nice selection! I have the majority of those myself.

Master Joe, what do you prefer between Ontario sp10 and skrama? 🙏

I feel better knowing that the gerber strongarm is on your favorites list 🎉🎉🎉

I found it. You're a character. I like your style

Joe please do the Cold Steel AK-47 fixed blade in 3V. I think it will do very well. Thick and strong!

Pretendo adquirir a terava skrama 200 no próximo ano, só preciso quitar umas dívidas antes

Had you ever tested a SOG Knife? ... I think they are very good.

Great selection Joe. When you use your knives, you come to the same conclusions as yours or Noos4 a decade ago. Many knives are made to be sold. Fewer are also made to be used. And sadly, except for some really gifted craftsmen, masters in heat treating, the price they charge bore no relation to the real quality of the blade.

Best ranking ever 🔝🔝

If joe says its good, it really is good

I have the OKC SP6. I will have to look for that review.
