I have a tier 1C and you're right, the swedge is fantastic if you to draw for tool functions. It also has a firesteel notch. It might just be the best field knife ever made.
I agree about holding it across your callous line. I don't have this knife but I do have the Legion, and that is how I hold it. It feels very natural if you hold it that way. I hold most my knives that way, unless the handle does not work well that way, such as the handles on the Bravo line. The bravo wants to go to the palm because of the shape, but the Legion, for me anyway, naturally goes right to the callous line. It seems to give me more control. Very cool that you brought that up!
I really hadn't planned on buying that, but damn, it is one bad ass blade..I may have to rethink that ,I really do just LOVE my Legion. lol.
Eric at Fobos Knives truly cares about his customers. He is always there to help answer your questions. Great person to deal with. Just ordered a MKB-9 last night from KSF. Can't wait to get. I will be ordering a Legion as soon as they hit the market again. According to Eric it will be a little while yet. Great video Chris, as usual. Keep up the great work. Look forward to the next video on the Fobos MKB-9.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Good review. Helped me to stop procrastinating and finally get one(burgundy micarta w/black liners). Awesome knife. 👍
Awesome practical demonstration. Nice Large Blade !! Thank You !! H.
Thanks, Chris,
Your The Best In My Book and On CZcams...
Gregor
Then you got the Bravo Tope Recon coming out next...it's been a steady stream of awesome knives.
PREPAREDMIND101 I always like the leather sheeve depending on what the knife looks like.
summer of 2018 was great for BRK designs. its slowed down here in Fall 2019. Good for my wallet $ !! Thanks for having reviews for the best knives out.. never apologize for that
I usually don't get excited about big knives but that's a great looking piece of steel. Your demonstration of the performance was impressive too. At first I thought too pricey ... on second thought a first class package with the sheath. Excellent video review too. Thx
I appreciate the premium knife videos so I can see how the other side lives.
The sound of the plane in fast forward LOL
You got me this time. Hope this one is available. Great vid.
Nice knife it's a keeper. I sure can see the difference after the wrap. The spin they should of continued the steel all around solid
It kind of reminds me of the Bravo III, which I do love, but the handle on this one looks better.
Having the Bravo III is making it hard for me to even think about justifying the thought of buying this knife.
Great video. Just got mine yesterday making the Fobos trio complete. Got a bamboo grove I'm taking mine to test on.
Let me know how it does brother!!! v/r Erik Hansen
Hi Chris,
I love your videos, and I watch them all. I have the MKB-9 and really enjoy it. Can you tell me how the Crusader chops compared to the MKB-9? I was looking at purchasing one, but it would have to out chop the MKB-9 by a long shot for me to want to spend the money. Thanks for your time.
Hey Chris good seeing you buddy good you're back on showing knives instead of flashlights yeah I keep up with you quite a bit thanks again 🏆
Using some Wilson tape on a knife handle is nothing to be annoyed about.
Some people call this "customizing". Its a thing of preference.
They can't built handles for every hand.
Good idea to wrap the handle with grip cloth. My hands are also larger then average and Bark River handles are a bit too small for me.
it looks very beautiful!
Great work as usual Tanner!
I find my hand get tired if the handle is too big so this looks like a great option for a big knife.
Lots of greatness coming out in a short period of time. My wallet is getting wafer thin!
No problem with the wrap. If i felt it wrapped, maybe i would wrap mine too.
However, i do NOT like the grind on the top of the knife.
I would re-grind it myself like a bowie. Sharp and smooth contour.
Sheath is amazing.
However I prefer a hilt on a big knife (Bark River), mostly for safety.
Great video. Love this knife.
Aye aye skipper, tis a beast of a cutlass me hearties
Time for another CHOPACOLYPSE !!! .....including the AC/DC soundtrack of course.
Very nice, crafted beautifully. These are beauties when it comes to knives. If I purchase one the guarantee has to be complete replacement if it fails at long term use.
neo57611 bark river has unconditional lifetime guarantee on all their knives. 🙄
So many good knives coming out this year! It makes it hard on what to get. Now I have that dilemma, should I buy another gun or a knife? lol
It's a work out chopping wood yes you want a coffterble handle when long term use.
Great knife!
To me, your intro is like the Stranger Things intro...you just can't skip it!
That's a flippin sick ass blade sheath is wow! Agree on that handle wish it was a little bigger but truthfully that sexy blade who cares that thing is nasty, good review Chris.🤘🤘👊👍
Brother, when I first went SF I had a Spanish Muelay, and this handle design was born from the faults I found with existing handles out there. Once you put it in your hand and grip it across, not along, your callous line you will understand it.
@@erikhansen8235 Yeah my broke ass won't be touching one anytime soon I wish.
Nice nice, great review.
Nice position backdrop on the cool tree and water bouncing at the top, took a bit to find it I'm betting.
Thanks Chris
Nice piece of steel, great video!
Handle looks abit way too small for me. Love the grinds though
Chris. I don't care. High end, budget, somewhere in between. Is it a quality blade, light, backpack, etc. for the $$ and it's task. Plus, let us dream man!
This VS. the Dark Timber Honeybadger, which do you prefer?
The background reminds me of a place in VA
Good looking blade.
Nice knife, dig the handle.
Very nice
Reminds me of the Jarosz choppa. Great vid I like this blade but not over my BR Grizzly
I am going to give you a comment that I would in all your vids. “Thanks for turning me on to Wilson raps, thanks for being straight forward, sorry you have to mention (personal preference), and thanks for all those great vids.” My next knife is going to be your Jessmuk is 3V.
just needs a little more storage other than that, its perfect
One knife that I don't see any reviews is still Jack Crain LSS1 or 2 :/
Way too small (10 or 10.5" is a minimum for chopping), and the thin handle is the opposite of a correct fat handle. It actually bounced out of the cut a few times... Nice looking, but needs a 20% up size...
Beautiful knife but unfortunately it had a totally inadequate handle! This knife in my humble opinion would be far better off with the same type handle as the Barkriver grizzly cub! Thanks for the video Chris
Did you buy one and discover the handle wasn't right?
Could possibly be used to skin a trex, maybe a tricerotopes.
bro make video 2 knives TRC APOCALYPSE vs FOBOS MKB-9
That is smoking ass hot
Beastmode
I like the blade on this more than the grizzly due to the more robust tip, but man that handle doesn't look good for chopping.....
Wolverine2198 all about the grizzly’s handle... more bark rivers should go that route especially the choppers... that’s what makes the grizzly my fave!!
Hey chris when is another run of 3v jessmuk's coming out.
Nice knife.
What is the exact type of Wilson tape you use?
Ultra Wrap Comfort
PREPAREDMIND101 Chris, it’d be great if you did a video showing different wrap options for knives. Personally I like wrapping my knife handles and would be curious to see how different kinds perform...e.g. tennis wrap vs. baseball bat tape vs whatever.
How do you get that Wilson tape to adhere to itself? Mine just rolls off and ends up looking like an old tennis racket.
I've taken to using compression tape covered in a layer of hockey tape...
Are you pulling it tight enough when you wrap it?
maybe a pair of work gloves if you dont want to tape the handle
Nice knive
Too much damn money I'll stick with budget knives Chris that's ridiculous $300 I won't want to use it or chop with it you know what I mean Chris
Looks like I'm spending money again.
Besides steel, how does this compare to the Ka-Bar Choppa?
Around the same size. Kabar is lighter.
Holy shit.....
In Australia that is $600
Yeah, but you have kangaroos. So it balances out.
Chris how prepared is your mind?
On what scale?
Chris, will bark river make another run of the cub?
Yes. JX6 and JX5 in the pipeline too. And someday Devv-X
yes they will!join the bark river facebook group so you can get the updates
That knife is awesome.
Fucking knife porn. Thanks Chris.
Thank you for your service Chris. How long were you in the Navy if you don't mind my curiosity? I had a cousin of mine on my mother's side go full career and spend about 20 years in there mostly stationed in Japan till he retired.
10 years
Very nice dude. Kickass blade btw!
Hey chris what brand of ferro rod do you use?.
It's a custom
Check out Nathan 4011..I think that's it anyway, on EBAY. I have one of his 1/2x8 rods, they come up to a full 1" thick, in various lengths, and man, they throw sparks like a damned demon! Amazingly good ferro rods! I know it is Nathan, the number after may be wrong, but a search should get you there.
Thanks I'll go check that out
I like your knives and your channel and I know I can just skip it, but why is your logo/intro thing 20 god damn seconds long?
Because it's awesome, that's why!
400lbs of angry muscles
Big blade with bad handle.. No paracord sure will fly away from your hand.. 3++ usd with this knives the price sure tramontina will win, but edge retention not hold for long term.
Mohd... Erik Hansen here... YOU ARE FULL OF SHIT!!!!
Erik, beautiful design. Trying to decide what color handle to buy when I found this video.
@@MotivatedMetalworks Let me know what you decide brother man. if they dont have it, PM me on FB and I can square you away
WHERE IS JESSE!!
Ventura?
Do a new EDC update
Bag and all
Awesome. You can only afford 1, this or maurader?
I'm going to use the Marauder-1 more often. But they are different classes of knives and intended use.
PREPAREDMIND101 I'm really debating maurader or bravo tope recon. Help me out, sell some more liquid assets and get one of those rope recons :). Of course q full on vid of the maurader would be great, before they sell out, no pressure :)
big visk I gotta do other stuff too before coming back to it. But damn that Marauder-1 handle is awesome. But that Tope Recon looks sick too.
PREPAREDMIND101 bark river is killing me with releasing these knives right in top of eachother
Same here
I'd sooner buy a second BK-9 haha that handle is a joke. Long blade but doesn't look like an effective chopper...
Thats why you only have 3 followers... HAHAHAHA!!!!
Bk9 has skelotonized handles. Traasssshhhh
what up?
Good 👍👏👏
