I Collect Knives. It's my hobby. I do Not get Paid for this. I do these "Unboxing Reviews", to help other knife collectors and knife enthusiasts, decide if a certain Style or Brand of knife is right for them. I try to give all the Specs & let everyone who is interested, get a good look at these useful tools, so they can decide for themselves, whether to purchase or to pass. I just give my Opinion, based on My experience, with each blade. I hope my Reviews Help someone.

Randall Knives: “Attack 18” Survival Knife
This thing was such a hunk of crap. That cable saw would break on you, the matches were trash and the compass didn't work worth a flip...but at 8 or 9 years old, we didn't care and had to have one. I bought one of the $10 Harbor Freight ones awhile back for $6 and it's surprisingly so much better than these were.
Vaughan once made a similar small hatchet which it called a fisherman's axe, small enough to fit in a tackle box which explains a good use for an axe this small. They may still make it but I can't get them to answer up so I can ask them. It is amazing how lackadaisical some companies are become in answering customer inquiries.
@@wc587 ,… I agree.
Look at that turd!
Get a Cold Steel Wild West Bowie. Thise are crap movie props!!!! Crap Steel and heat treatment. No survival or defence use!
@@edwinabbel3783 ,… I agree that it is budget quality and made in China,… probably not meant for extended, hard use, like the original Lile Rambo knife was. - I have a cold steel Wild West Bowie. They are made in Pakistan by the company Windlass for cold steel. They’re Not that great in my honest opinion,… They certainly are not Rambo style, survival knives either. I did put epoxy down inside the handle to secure the Blade which is thick 420 stainless steel. It doesn’t seem to be any worse than any other 420 stainless steel knives that I own. Thanx for watching & commenting. 👍🏻🔪
Brother, where did you find that? I have been wanting to get a replacement Recon Scout with the BLACK blade ever since I gave my first one away to a buddy on mine in the Army when he went on his second deployment to Iraq back in 2007. It was my favorite Bowie knife and I had every intention to purchase another one, but by the time I got around to it, I was too late. Cold Steel had discontinued the version of the Recon Scout with the black blade.

I have the SRK-Compact. It's a great little companion to my Trailmaster
I'll take the cold steel trailmaster over it for less
That’s a beast joe. Awesome fixed blade my friend
@@donavantew8278 ,… Thanx Donavan
Nice in a garden tool kinda way but not really going for the Randall Made level of refinement
@@bunsonhoneydew9099 ,… It is a little rough around the edges perhaps but it is hand cut & hand made in USA, and it’s a Beast. The handle is very comfortable, the steel is thick & strong. The sheath is thick and very high quality. It’s Not for everyone perhaps but, I really like it. Thanx for watching & commenting,… I appreciate it.
That HC marking means hand cut. So, one of the prototypes before waterjet process is done. That was the second one (02) so, you literally have the second one I made of those. Glad you held out and got the one you wanted.
@@toddhunt6442 ,… Oh really! I was wondering what all those letters & numbers meant. That’s Awesome! I love this Knife & sheath. Thanx for watching Todd. 🔪👍🏻
On my bucket list
@@bmflmf ,… I think, You won’t be disappointed. Its great 👍🏻 🔪
Perfect size for hiking stick. I didn't know there was a staff. I got the the 38inch walking stick.
You're on a roll on these survival knives
I have,a cammo an#
I have A Signature Of Stallone Version of this Knife 1 out of 10,000.
Awesome addition joe.
@@donavantew8278 ,… Thanx Donavan.
Love it!!!!!😊🔪👍
@@TheSogGrunt ,… Thanx.
It's a brisket slicer but is used as a camping machete.
@@lorandersterling1537 ,… Yep
Glad you decided to keep sharing your love of blades brother. My knife life keeps me from going nuts 🤪 I always love me some knife talk. 🙏
badass
Love LT wright knives. Wish I could afford a couple
@@adam-in-maine6274 ,… I hope you get some LT Wright knives, soon also. 👍🏻
@@adam-in-maine6274 ,… I hope you get some LT Wright knives, soon also. 👍🏻
Six years later and this knife is selling on eBay for one hundred thirty dollars. 😂
Reminds me of a Randall attack
Those are really cool.
@@Broddi169 ,… Hey Broddi. How’s it going? - I like it. I’ve been trying to get my hands on one for quite some time. Seems heavy and solidly built, like a Buckmaster 184. I read that the original was the “Apparo-7” from Martin Knives then they did a collaboration with Boker to bring the more affordable Boker Plus Apparo to the masses. The originals used better steel but I’m Not complaining. 👍🏻🔪
@@JoeDoomsday that's awesome. I may have to jump on one
Great looking knife. Congratulations
@@gf2390 ,… Thank You. I appreciate it. Thanx for watching. 👍🏻🔪
@@JoeDoomsday my pleasure. Hopefully I will add one to my collection in the future too.
This is a great knife. You made a smart purchase. Good review.
@@Sharpbevel ,… Thanx. I appreciate you saying that. It really is a spectacular knife. It’s so underrated!
I have always appreciated this design. Really awesome survival knife
@@donavantew8278 ,… Thanx Donavan. I always wanted an Apparo. I just really liked the look of it. Now that I have it in hand, it seems really solidly built. So far I really like it. 👍🏻🔪
@@JoeDoomsday that’s great. Love the look of it. Job well done 👍🏻 brother
I had one of these as well Joe, I ended up grinding the useless teeth off it and removing the bit of alloy from the cap for the lanyard and polishing it up for signalling. Also I threw that amazing sheath away and made one with a stone pouch similar to Randall's sheaths. A friend of mine was doing it pretty tough and I ended up giving him the knife to cheer him up and it was love at first sight when he got it. As far as cutting goes even when razor sharp it's crap, as it bounces off hard and medium hard wood due to the Appleseed grind, if it was flat grind it would have been better. On the up side it is built like a tank. Keep up the good work mate, it's always terrific to see a new vid from you.
@@collector7993 ,… Thanx for the kind words. I heard the saw was for removing fish scales. 🤷🏻♂️. It seems to do a notch as good as any other survival knife. I haven’t really used it yet so I can’t say how it will perform. It does seem to be built to last. 🔪👍🏻. Too bad it doesn’t include any survival gear.
Congrats joe great blade with history"
@@tomritter493 ,… Thanx Tom. It is a Cool Blade. The history with this one is pretty wild too. 👍🏻🔪👍🏻. Have a Great Weekend.
This is really old video but you would think knife designers would think a little bit.. move that nail clip toward the tip and it would be much easier to open..
You need to look at the comments for your Down Under Walkabout knife review. People have been asking for an update but no comments have been responded to.
@@ianmackney3089 - I have a second video of the Walkabout knife where I am testing it in the woods. Have You Seen that video yet?
Nice patina.

They are really cool. I wish they made like a lager version. But as they are they look like good quality pieces , cool review brother
The maxam is a aitor jungle king 1 copy its badthe mtech I have is a tank I liked them for hunting fishing stuff
Good 2 know
Cool knife. Cold steel just came out with a khyber knife recently that has the T back spine. Really looking forward to trying one out.
Really? Sounds pretty cool. I will have to check it out.
Thumbs up Joe
The sheath alone was probably $150 😳
Ya probably. The sheath & the Knife are both, works of art. Beautiful craftsmanship. 🔪👍🏻. For me,… this was a once in a lifetime purchase.
@@JoeDoomsday oh yea dude. I’m not at a place where I could even think about getting one. Truly a thing of beauty!
Need to varnish the blade IMO but otherwise the knife is amazing id also personally make alterations to the sheath but hey!
Are You suggesting a forced patina on the blade? Or just varnish to protect the handle? I did want to purchase their upgraded sheath that has a Ferro Rod loop and a Ferro Rod with the matching Micarta handle on it. None were in stock when I purchased this knife though.
@@JoeDoomsday patina is the correct word yes
And also id modify the sheath so I could scout carry it!
@@josh44779 ,… Yep, I hear ya. I like Scout Carry myself.
@@JoeDoomsday I'm not a fan of behind the hip carry but in front, behind just gets in the way and I'm not interested in someone stabbing me with my own blade!
That "saw" is actually a FISH SCALER from 40's outdoorsmens' barlow. Not sure even the designers realized what they were copying.
I have heard that before but I wasn’t sure if that was true, only because the saw is so aggressive. It seems like it would shred a fish to bits. 👍🏻
They are such great knifes
Hey Tom. They really are great blades. After seeing Your videos of the LifeKnife Commando,… I was intrigued & WOW! They are really cool. Thanx for Your videos brother. 🔪👍🏻
Gorgeous joe if you want to buy the original lofe knife I have one in the box like new ya the two I have are different on that pouch
Awesome
It might be a while but I would eventually be very interested Tom. I got other projects going on at home, plus other knives already on my asap list. I’d like to see pictures of it and see how much you are asking for it. I’m definitely interested,… let me know. 🔪👍🏻
I loves the old retro type knives that were inspired by Rambo /Commando. Good score
Thanx Bro
Really high quality
Hi d
@@tomritter493 hey brother Tom. I hope everything is going well brother.
