Could this be used as dedicated hunting knife?

Surgical steel or surgical stainless steel is ss 440 . The basic stainless from which was develop the old faithful 440C which is far better. But good enough to abuse it and fix it whenever necessary. My 2¢

Love mine. Got two. One in black linen micarta, brass rivets, other in olive green canvas micarta with brass rivets. Mine are first production runs so sheaths are different (better in my opinion). Note: the tip on these blades are so pointy/stabby they are vulnerable, so they shouldn't be abused in that area. Really love these (which is how i got two..lol).

Nice knife. Creepy music..lol

So you have kill innocent People in Irak Afghanistan and Syrien? Hell the Hell is waiting for you

Cool collection! Love the white Yojimbo

I love my tops mpat in that 4 inch range for off the shelf but custom my last ditch 2.0!

I've found that for a survival knife I like the kabar big brother it gives me a big blade that's light to carry on my belt and for me a axe becomes very important in the winter imho

Dude !!! Nice !!!

Heavy duty zip ties work very well in replacement of Alice clips and are a lot more comfortable and do not dig in

I just picked up two of these complete with all of the pouches for 15 bucks each. 😎

Awesome! Recently got into hunting and might have to add to my collection of 3riverblades or the MSK not sure?

Not a professional either. Get the skills: 1. I have used Heimlich 2. I have used CPR 3. You can read the Boy Scout First Aid book, take free first responder classes locally, youtube classes for free When I travel, by air, by car, I always have an Israeli bandage with blood stop and tourniquets with me. I have used blood stop on more than one occasion. One time I realized that I had more medical supplies than the three doctor satellite office to which I was assigned by an HMO. Believe me, having taken months to recover from a injury in the army, you can never have too much in medical supplies on hand.

That is a chonky boi !! Thicker than a Snicker. I must purchase!

dude how many deployments?>? carry all at once? what do you consider combat? MEUs? PCS? or did you carry Most of those blades don't look like they have much use. 14 years. Actucal combat and I have my kabar, gerber folder and leatherman. many others in collection but the only ones actually use were those 3.

Many prayers and many thanks!!

Im not military, but i like a.l.i.c.e. and load bearing over molle gear today. I used the bianchi belt in private security and i used my belt in the a.l.i.c.e. fashion as a security guard for years.

( Let's party ) 🗡️

I would very much like to hear from the vet pilots or military historians on the presence of saw teeth on (US) “pilot survival knife’s”: Has there been a significant number of instances where pilots had to cut their way out of a cockpit (seems very, very unlikely)? If not, are the saw teeth, then, just a token attempt to make pilots feel better?

I carried the Cold Steel Recon Tanto and it was made in the USA they are made Taiwan now. Keep up the great work

The Mossy Oak has nice shape and i love the shape and the styles. I made 4 knife with that shape with different steels.

No, the curve is to be like a handgun for officers to lesson the learning curve. What keeps the knife in your hand is to hold it properly, which is not with your thumb on the top. To disarm a knife you bry off the thumb, you have done half the work for me. you also do not have the thumb up on a knife you are going to thrust with, heep the thumb wrapped around the handle letting the full length of the blade sink into what you are puncturing.

Thank you for your service

The classic 1970s, 1980s cold war alice gear is the best in my opinion, having a U.S. contract production number is made very well , nothing, nothing like that Chinese shity knock off gear garbage 🗑️ when shopping 🛒 look for that contract production number and your golden pony boy . Especially for camping 🏕️ paired with old school 1980s Coleman sleeping bag 👍 .

It's worth it if it has the US production contract serial number , cold war surplus Gear ⚙️ very well made !

The Rothco is trash. I loaded it up about 60lbs and the frame warped and broke

Gerber hasn't made quality knives in over 20 years.

Which is your favorite?

I have a Gerber Mk 2 that I have since the early 80,s I had it in beruit in 82.; it's the one that I go to. Eck usmc

My father carried the Gerber mp600 on every single deployment after 1990 when he got out of the Navy. He has one that's seen land on at least 4 continents. Me and my two brothers all have been carrying one or something like it every day for close to three decades now. Not a beater but boy does it come in handy.

Awesome knives. Thanks for your service. 🇺🇸 TRUMP 2024

that knife looks like a tank killer😅

I would love to own a few more Tops survival knives but they are so bloody expensive here in Australia 👍🏻🇦🇺

First 2 bayonets and the Ka-Bar I'm partial to as a Marine Corps Infantryman in the 90's, had to buy our own Leatherma's ....And who wouldn't want the "Barnes knife!" Lol! .......Semper Fi!

Awesome work!

Great video; very informative. I used to be a scout sniper in a paratrooper regiment of the IDF (I enlisted in 1995), and I couldn't agree more with you regarding the fact that in the field, weight is always a problem. Thus, an infantryman should always see to it that he / she doesn't carry unnecessary, cumbersome weight. Back then, I carried an old K-Bar knife, that my uncle had given me (he kept it from his service days back in the late 1950's). That knife was not very sharp (to say the least), and at the time I had no professional means to sharpen it adequately, but it was sharp enough for whatever tasks we needed to do with it at the field. I dare say that I disliked the blades of some of the knives that you had shown here - mainly the ones that are serrated closer to the handle. From my own experience, I think that a serrated edge is good only for a short while after the knife comes out of the forge, but when it becomes dull it is a pain in the ass to sharpen it correctly - let alone in the field, when you have minimal equipment. So, I never choose a serrated edge if I have a choice. BTW, which one is you in that old photo with the three of you standing with all the equipment? Are you the taller one to the left, carrying the enormous backpack or rather the one in the middle? Anyhow, thanks for the video, and as another reviewer wrote here: Thank you for your service. Semper Fi Gal

05 July 2024 - First, the table cover should have been lighter in order to clearly see details of the knives. If you have reviewed the video, you would have seen that. Second, you tended to ramble as if you no outline to follow. Your video should have been several minutes shorter.

Saying Hi from Switerland!

❤❤❤❤

Gerber 600 Magnum LST, Ontario SP5-95, Cold Steel Recon Tanto and the Ontario 12" machete. Plus whatever multi tool was on sale at the PX after I broke the last one.

0:22/0:23 The parang knife does NOT originate from the Philippines. It was made in Malay archipelago region.

Nice video, boot. 🙂(USMC 1990 - 2001)

Marines don’t break stuff. Stuff just breaks itself when we get frustrated. Semper Fi.

The tops is soo koo looking ❤ but another 100 for a sheath it just to much for me, for that price spartan blades ronin shinto

This is my favorite iteration of gear. I was issued these.

3 pounds? Oof.. No way that weighs more than my Bravo 3... omfg..lol.. damn. Anyway, thanks for your service.

Love my 3 River Blade!

Wel said.

What's the make and model of the machete?

Great video. I carried 7 blades at any given time. Good to sèe a fellow blade enthusiast.
