Own one, I love it. You can call it ugly or whatever. It's sharp, it's thick, it slices, it splits, it is very lively in the hand. It does everything you need a knife to do and looks weirdly good doing it. I own all three of the knives he compares in this videoand love them all.
I kinda think Joe x is a joke , I mean when trying to chop through a car then bricks then batoning with a hammer or sledge ....and when the knife is obviously going to break ..... " it's a trash knife don't buy it , it's faulty ".... obviously if you are going to intentionally do everything in your power to break it , it's going to break
Gotta disagree with you there, Thats not the point of his videos. He breaks them on purpose to see what the knifes breaking point actually is. Its nice to know just how much abuse a tool can handle before it fails. He does that so we can get insight into the durability of the tool youre buying. I dont know how you can't see the value in that. The idea that he makes videos so that people can complain about the knife breaking after chopping a brick 150 times is just silly. He puts in the work so we dont have to.
Good knife, I liked it, just didn’t care for the upper guard. If it were angled forward abit I would have probably kept it. Thought about grinding it off, but gave it to a friend of mine who's son got deployed to Syria last year.
@@peterbiltknifeguy I just looked it up on Amazon and that's the advertised price and it is available, I was going to buy one after watching you video until I saw the price.
I guess I’m old fashioned. This knife will probably do the job and do it well. I tend to like looking at a knife as well as using them, those guards are a shortcut in manufacturing to me, they’re ugly and look cheap. I don’t mind modern materials and manufacturing but often modern design is just not for me, if it’s a Bowie I’m after, give me an old school Bowie any day.
Ive liked these for a long time too. You could sharpen a leaf spring and pin some micarta scales on it and I'd probably like it! lol I just can't justify the price because I have other knives of similar size. ✌🏼
@@adods9824you're not far off! I'm Scandinavian. My mom is Dane and English, my father is German and Scandi-mut. And I get some bright red hairs in my beard so we might be related 😆

It is designed for fighting / military and you don't want your slick, bloody hand sliding down the blade and getting cut. Hand guards are sure to save you.
I love TOPs.. once you’ve held one you get why they call them survival knives. I could use mine to pry open a door then slice paper.. weird combo but a good one to have.
Also i get a laugh out of joe x testing, it gives a unique perspective on knives, but 99.99% of people dont put their knives through half of what he does, he is the .01%, also this knife didnt do half as bad in his test as people like to make it seem, just my 2 cents fwiw
@@peterbiltknifeguy Joe x is truly a badass tho, he deserves his title of king knife tester, doing the splitz like jcvd, and doing all his tests in the gas mask, I wouldn't act for a moment I could do what he does, he has my respect
Im confused, are we at the cigarette store, or the 7-11? Why for the knife and not just steal it and rob the cigarette store? Do I have to be buying smokes, what about a slurpee? Would that keep me safe from the knife buying bandit?
Your loss....its a Great Knife so you seen for yourself its a Great Sliceing Knife...it is also a Great Stabing Blade its really Great...this Knife would be one of my choices if i had to pick a 7inc Blade because what ever you put in Front of it its going through and that weight you were complaining about just helps the Knife Drive through what you want to put a hole into...go look on CZcams and you will see a video of this Knife going Through 6 Thick Coats and you see some well known Knives not able to do this same..JoeX is a joke if you listen to him about a Knife you think like a kid
@@peterbiltknifeguy Your opinion doesn't impress me either. In the hands of a stong man, that thick blade with recurve for cutting and 7" length will do any job a soldier has to do. Finally, you have a knife probably tougher than the British MOD Survival Knife ( Sold by Night Galaxy ).🗡

It's a sharpened prybar with style. I love mine but haven't really needed it for anything, but it's cool
Not yet but that day will come

Good man, it's definitely better than anything the man will issue
$335.00 on Amazon, I like the knife but a little to pricey for my budget.
That’s a garbage price. It’s discontinued I believe. They were about 190 before

My brother from another mother ...lol! I buy everything cool, just because. Don't need any of it, but it calls to me! Celt Viking DNA ? 😄👍

Thank you for the video. I would pass on this knife myself based on aesthetics alone. It's not ugly...but against the Prather and Long Horn...?
👍
Definitely would use that as a Rambo knife
Right lol
I got a Gerber Strong Arm and G.I.Tanto... Don't think neither will fail me
I have thst same one ...love it
That’s a badass knife. I really like it. It’s definitely a SHTF kind of knife.👊🔥🔪🇺🇸
Definitely
I have one too and it was cool until I got into Work Tuff Gear now it’s mediocre.
WTG is Amazing.
@@joshdoddadbod Fact
A tapered tang would have helped reduce the handle weight.
It balances right on the guard, you don't really want to do that.
Not sure why the big useable finger choil but then ruin it with the top guard. That I would have to grind off and just have the bottom guard.
It really doesn't get in the way.
Agreed. One or the other. But not both

Forget the knife, where do I get one of those coins lmfao I almost fell out of my chair 😂
😂👍 it was sent to me. I’m not sure

Awesome. They are beefy
Love it...
Joe X had to use a AK47 to break the Cold Steel 4max , The Toughest folder I've ever seen .
I don't know about you, but that's all me. 💯😎
Don’t get me wrong. I like it. But I like the Longhorn better
SHTF .. I'm waaayyyyy in on this one !!
Can you review the esee sencillo?
I’ll definitely take a look
Nice
If this is what i have for ww3, id be happy its not a kabar

Thoughts on the tops MPAT?
Don’t own it. So really can’t say
That's a thick blade..
that knife looks like something a guy would buy at a cigarette store and try to hold you up at a 7/11 at 3 am while your buying some smokes.
