I've had three zombie tools. The felon. Raptor. Scaliest.Maybe ... and I use them the leather handles never come off they never get loose ... and I do abuse them.

Another awesome vs vid John! I never heard of those Zombie Tools knives before. I just checked out their website and see they have some very cool stuff. Wish M-Tech still made that Raptor.

The only real difference in performance would be in the edge. A hollow grid makes finer cuts but gets damaged easier while a saber is for maxing out durability.

I've been eyeing that raptor for a while now. After this video, I'm liking it even MORE!!! Taking nothing away from the Felon, that Raptor sure has my attention...

Mtech are fool's for not adding to the big knife line, they could remake some of the classic big knives and make a killing, awesome video brother

I knew the zombie tool would come out on top but that raptor is a great knife for the money .

Hollow grinds naturally form a pinch point as it penetrates. The wood has to ride up a curve as it penetrates. The saber grind is more of a wedge, which is also hard for the wood to split around. The best, really, is a convex edge. And, a convex edge has the most support of the very apex as possible, so it lasts longer. But, draw cutting with a hollow is very efficient. But a hollow grind is the weakest at supporting the edge apex. The next strongest is the saber. But the ultimate is the convex. Of these two, I would choose the saber.

I've had my raptor for like 6 yrs now bought it when it still was expensive. I will never get rid of it. Great videos. Thanks!

Hey John, great video. Cheers! 🍻

I think I would always prefer a saber grind over a hollow grind.

We have two monsters 👹 on deck , the felon is amazing piece brother, the raptor is also a epic blade 😎, outstanding video John

Thanks for making this video! It really demonstrated the Felon well, which is what I was searching for. And as a second thank you, I appreciate you not being massively cringy, which sounds like an odd thing to say, until you watch some of the other reviews on this knife out there.

Both great knives, very impressive throwing!

Really fun, good video. Love the big ass knives.

Exceptional throwing skills!

The leather sheaths are still made but under a different site called war lander enterprises. I believe the person who made them moved and went under that company but still makes them for all ZT blades

Props on the throwing, impressive. Great Vid, been wanting a Felon for a decade now.

If the Raptor was saber/flat rather than hollow it be soooooo killer!

In the throwing part of the test you can clearly hear the “Raptor” hit with such authority over the “Felon” kinda like the thud of 45-70 to a 9mm.

Good comparison. The Felon should be alot better knife because it cost over three times as much as the Raptor. I would like to own both knives and would carry the Felon in the woods to cut food and ropes, nothing else. Now the Raptor, I wouldn't mind if got a few battle scars chopping on trees and maybe splitting firewood.

Great job John, always been curious to own a zombie tools, piece, enjoyed this

Know what you should do? Compair your zombie tools felon,against the cold steel frontier bowie.

Awesome brotha! Both are bad ass! I like the look of the raptor better but felon is bad ass too! Good job!! 👏🏻

I have been drooling over the Zombie Tools Sharkelope for years. Its a bucket list blade for me

Thanks for the video demonstration ⚔️

Once again, MTech squares off with opponents of demonstrably finer pedigrees; once again, MTech hangs without missing a beat. The fact that your Raptor has several years of hard use/abuse prior just adds to the mystique. Can't wait for the next review--will MTech score a hat trick?? LLOL

Great Video thank you. Ever looked at the Skallywag Bounty or the Dbad Roughlander. Great comparisons for this type of a test

Excellent throwing 🎯⚔️ And both blades did exceptionally good ,I actually own the MTech Raptor but the Zombie Tools Felon is a blade very high on the wish list ,and I don't think either one is better, well maybe the Felon just a little because of the 5160 hc steel, ⚔️ but that 440c steel MTech uses on the Raptor is phenomenal, so you have two great blades ⚔️👍⚔️👍⚔️

Throwing some bunker busters there brother!!!

I love my Raptor! I like the Zombie line O knives but pricey!

That zombie took is a little thicker I believe by the way it splits wood .and chops great video John

I need to get one of those Zombie Tool blade. Awesome knife.

I love the zombie tools. I have two and look forward to getting more.

Thank you so much for the upload got Off work and picked up a raptor at the local pawn shop for $32 nib after tax and for the price definitely feel like I will be getting my money worth after the similarity wish I could get a zombie tool for the same price 😁

bravo!, great trowing

I have two Raptor Bowies at different thickness, nice monster blades but the scales are lees than desirable and the handle length is really disproportionately sized, I am looking to have new scales made that would reach both finger choils.

Awesome bro 👊👍

Huge fan,Just beautiful Knives....can write by just staring at them.Get the creative juices flowing😂

hello to France!! thank's you for your honesty!!! good revue!! god bless american people!!!

Very cool video, fun to see it👍

I wish that mtech raptor knife was back in stock

You throw those big blades like a professional, you telling on your self dude , 😂 LOL.

Dude, I winced when you threw the knives back to back with the other still in the wood. I broke the tip off a really good knife doing that. The wife had just warned me about breaking my new knife..... other than that I was damned impressed with that raptor. I'm a big cold steel fan and use to sell them in my shop back when. I'm gonna look for an old raptor now.....

I see why beta carried 2 raptors in the walking dead very good knife

This was an awesome review!! That mtech is a surprisingly good chopper! But for long term durability your Zombie tools is definitely the better choice. And its just one of the meanedt lookin things ever made ✌️

I think I just fell in love with that zombie knife.😍

15:01 well, if the Reaver Cleaver is anything to go by, it's not...THAT "bulletproof" but hey, i mean, who shoots at a sword flat with 7.62x39 anyway? *cough cough youtuber skallagrim*

i can tell that both were designed for a similar context and for similar types of target buyers in mind

dang.....that Zombie tools blade ain't cheap.

Damm john, you can throw them bad boys really well

You didn’t mention the steel type on the Mtech

Hey John does the Felon arrive sharp, I like my blades very sharp ,thank you

Yeah, I highly recommend you throw and baton a $500 blade

Hey can u made a vs vid for the spit (zombie tools) and the thai gladius sword (united cutlery)?

I'm a zombie tools fanboy! Great vidieo.

No surprise the mtech went deeper it’s got a hollow grind

Gotta say I love my MTech I really wish I would have grabbed a raptor. Funny you never know when they will stop making a knife. What blows my mind is how good some mtechs for their price. I have the 151 everyone loves to hate. Yet a knife that cost $19 and survives a few camping trips with my crew is a force to be reckoned with. Especially since nobody is scared to use a $20. Big money knives in my experience hardly get use. Ever had the let's use yours mine is really expensive. Or I don't wanna mess up my knife. I don't understand having a tool your scared to use. They come home from camping or fishing saying how great their knife is while using my cheap junk 😆

Son, that ZT is not a knife. It’s a short sword. 😎

I'll be the first to admit that I'm a huge fan of Zombie Tools. The Only issue I have with them is the expensive. MTech does rate in my top 4 and while I've never had any issues with them, they don't quite make the number one spot. The advantage, MTech is more budget friendly. If you got the money, go ZT. If you need budget friendly, go MTech.

Holy Crap!!!! That zombie tool is Insane!!!!! Both are great but I think ZT is my choice 🤔

do you have a The Parabellum from Zombie Tools?

Hey John that's the kind of knife I like to leave near my bedside so many breaks in they'll be real surprised getting hit with that 😂😂😂😂

Those Xtreme Raptors are hard to come bye , They sell another version called the Black Raptor. You should do a video pitting those 2 against one another. It would make a great original video and would create great interest I believe. If you want a awesome Bowie try the Traditional Filipino Weapons Bowie , I think it is a little known blade that kicks ass my friend . He uses a blend of 5160 and D2 in Wich I believe is superior to Cold Steel San Mai in my opinion.

zambie tools is awesome

Cut at a angle not straight down

I was shocked by how pitiful the zt traumahawk was. It's beautiful but useless as a tool..I really thought it was gonna be a fine forest hatchet but it lacked the head weight to be an effective chopper. my other zt purchases are all amazing especially The Spit..which is a god of a weapon in every way.

Thats a Short Sword !

Do you want to sell your Raptor?

Junge du musst mal die Camp 18 von Kershaw holen. Damit kannst du richtig kloppen 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

There's really no comparison, it might seem like it, but when you start cutting through sheet metal and bones the mtech falls to the wayside. Nothing wrong with mtech, I've had lots of them, but zombie tools is a totally different class of knife.

...the American gladius...

The chop test is highly inaccurate unless you can duplicate the amount of force for each strike you cant do a real comparison.

If anyone is willing to sell me the raptor then lemme know!

@4:45 Sure you had bone. Looked like almost 2 ft connected to you left shoulder? Ahhhh just shit posting

I have found that true tests are when throw them over 100 times. That separates them pretty much.

The zombie Tools is Perfect knife for survie .🇨🇦✊

oh yeah one can make grizzly bear kababs from these bad boys

ZOMBIE TOOLS ALL DAY
