Bark River Crusader 3V: The Survival Beast - Preparedmind101 

I have absolutely no need for this knife!...mine should be arriving Friday😉

That is one big chunk of 3V! Thanks for the look Chris.

This channel has good great reviews from what I've seen!

Stupendous looking knife. Keep up the great work Chris

Stunningly beautiful knife.

Beautiful work. Luv mine

Nice knife Chris, congrats. Thanks for sharing!

Good review Chris

Awesome knife, I absolutely love mine. I knew it was a big knife when I bought it, but once you get this beast in hand, you really feel the 3V weight and solidness. Bit worried about dropping it on my feet at times whilst swinging - it would prob go straight through boots

Great job Gregor

@PM101 You REALLY love that Wilson wrap Semper Fi Gunny

No ricasso near the working edge, love that.

Got mine yesterday, and I can't wait to use it ;)

These bowies are for the enthusiasts and heavy users. You can get 4 Wild West cold steel bowies for the price of one of those. Of course the quality of bark river is far greater and they will last longer. The convex grind is king also.

Yep I need one of these

I used to watch around twenty reviewers/bushcrafter types, some of them your friends, but only watch you these days. Love your big-knife reviews and comments on whatevers. I slobbered all over myself watching this review. Haven't done that since the Honey Badger :o)

Awesome blade......thanks for video

Looks like a bark river bk9 😮🤤

Good for the new season of “ALONE”.

Great knife, thanks for letting us see this one,,

Excellent video 👌 Love the Rants🤣🤣🤣🤣 P.S do I hear a GAW video with this knife! hahaha

This plus a jx6 . Match made in heaven

Nice video Chris. several things- 1st what wrap do you use on your knife handles . 2nd If "Jessica listed" doesn't hold the same meaning for you anymore, how about "Tanner's A LIST" or something to that affect instead?

A beast of a knife. 💪🏻

Yea I need one, glad I got a good job and a forgiving wife

DAMN THAT'S A BEAUTY

Wow what a beast of a tool

Great review. I have a JX6 Companion in Elmax set up as a necker and love it. And as you indicated in the video it is a perfect companion to this knife. I think the word(s) you were looking for is "financial interest". And I have no problem with a change in "best of" name designation. You can actually flip that to mean the other end of the spectrum. The Schrade Jess-X might feel right at home on that list.

Very nice indeed.

Hey Chris, Thinking of purchasing a Crusader or a Bravo Tope Recon. Do both of these knives have a Sharpened Spine ? From another Ohio Boy👍

Great video ! Love Bark River Knives. I have original Bravo.

I've searched for years to find my knives to fit me. Now I have knives for different jobs like my Bushcraft knife is the Jessmuk , neck knife a scandi ground Patriot, This knife is my do all knife when I'm out, it is worth every penny I've had mine about a year cooked,carved, bushcrafted, clean fish and game both have not found a weak spot in this knifes useability and design although I'm 6'5" and have very large PAWs the handle could be alittle longer but with the finger school I make it work, also I'm disabled so this knife works twice as hard, thank you Bark River, I also have the bark river cub as a back up cause I couldn't get a dam dark timber grizzly made by Pete.tried for years had money in hand even got on the waiting list after Chris got his but never got a phone call even been friend with Pete face before his fame.now I can't afford one it's my white whale...but the Crusader in 3v is a great knife...peace

Hello Chris, that is one awesome knife, great review. You have reviewed so many great knives, too many Choices. When it comes to batonning, the wood didn't stand a chance. It certainly does all the essential bushcraft chores. All the best to you. Keep up the great reviews. 🤗

Need that in my life

Awesome Knife , worth every penny ....

What a good looking knife.

Great vid When are you going to do a camping vid ?

Now, that is a TOOL! Would also make a GREAT GIVEAWAY item! lol

Cheese Block! The funniest reviews! Cars are all about, putting in the key and turning the engine over so it starts and drives ya to work in the morning. Everything else is luxury. Knives and axes are the same. Good TV Wilson!!!

Now that's a very nice knife.

sweet knife great video .

Liked and subbed. Surprised I wasnt already. Sweet knives. I need a big bowie type knife and will spend $300. But are there others just as good for less?

that thing is large and in charge!

Cool knife! Waitin on my JX5

That's beautiful.

Great option for EDC here in AZ.

awesome knife

Are the newer JX5 s that are coming out this summer a thinner blade than the .217 thickness of the last one...friend told me the new one might be .190 similar to the bravo tope recon...if its that thin for this chopper I'll be pissed

How long does it take for dlt trading to deliver

Should i buy this or a trailmaster san mai

Should've named it Bark River "BAK" big ,ass, knife. Very nice though thanks for the videos

Big brother to the Legion...which you loved at first, then complained about the thickness of the tip. Is that going to happen again with the Crusader?

Honestly. Truely innovative wilderness goers while take advantage of all option possable. I carry a smaller MSK 2 kneck knife from TOPS, a customized Condor Hudson Bay Survival Knife, and my Gran Forks Bruks Small Forest Ax. Between these three blades I have every need of mine for primitive Bushcraft covered. I like them all. But I like to practice with a small ax and specialize with it. It's easy to build with naturally smelted iron. Therefore could produce a steel ax with primitive means ( or a tomahawk type hatchet at least ).

I’m not a big knife guy but this was a good review and a very nice design.

Awesome Blade. I have a 1st Run 3v Crusader. 100% a Jess Lister Blade imho.

Need a better handle for that office edc impact.

Looks nice, although I'll never own one, Bark River way outside my price range.

You really love blades Dog.. I wish you could show more Machetes?

Wilson wrap ftw!!! 👍👍👍👍

Thats a big blade . sheesh

It is beautiful

I don't need it but if i had that with my benchmade pukko 200. Then i wouldn't actually need any other knife for probably the rest of my life. Though its a lot of money for me and i would still want more knives. However i am super impressed. I find not a lot of cheaper companies make blades that shape and size. They made the knife that's been in my brain my entire life.

Nice

Wow, to me that screams Rambo. I'm glad to see a leather sheath with it. $300? Well my birthday is coming up, might have to get one next time they're available.

How does it compare to Grizzly or Tope knife ?

If i didnt already have the jx5 all tricked out with a yellow hawk sheath i would get that.

Im thinking ill wait for the JX5👍🏻

you can never go wrong with brand but problem is price also it is true for quality goods you have to spend

The golok is nice too.

What's the meaning of the tattoo (the text)?

Who doesn't love a big ass block of cheese? That's a hell of a knife.

heck of a chopper

If I see a bigass block of cheeas in the woods I'm pulling out becky that old girl can still do some good work

i own one and love it......i hate the sheath and how its so hard to snap closed, i know it will stretch a little over time and that you can wet and stretch it....but for the money, it should be good straight out of the box....i just cut that little extra flap off and its all good though!!!....just my rant and my opinion!!!

Hear lots of bad stories regarding the Bark River warranty. Anyone have any input ?

Just heard the new run of JX 5s are going on sale tomorrow 7/2

Love mine

Feel like the JSX would be a bit better at chopping but the crusader would be a better all around survival knife

Hard to be interested in that knife owning a JX5 have worn my JX5 on my hip for a hundred miles at least. BTW nice shirt buddy!

Try it on some pork shoulder like Cold Steel does...?

I actually used this knife as a base and am having a custom made up (added 1/2" of blade length, changed up the choil a bit, still in 3V but at guaranteed HRC60, and made by an Australian knife maker, so better for me as an Aussie) going to be a beast as well I am thinking.

its awesome! i still prefer your jx5 :]

dude I'm still waiting on mine ordered it last year

Big beautiful knife. But I wonder what it's like trying to sharpen a big hunk of 3V like that?

Am I crazy or is there a slight warp/divot/flat spot in the curve in the belly of this knife? I can't tell if it's maybe just the camera/trick of the light but it's bugging the bananas out of me. Please somebody reassure me...

I bought one of these today for under 50 bucks. Even if I don't like it, the price was right.

Jack of several trades, master of none. I deliver pizza for a living and I own two Ontario sp53s and two Crusaders.

I don't need it. But I sure want it!

Crusader or Grizzly?

Hate I didn't see you at Blade show.

This video is hilarious to watch at 0.5 playback speed. Chris sounds like he's had WAY to much to drink before filming this.

The sheath is black because it's water resistant coating.

Adamantium / Vibrainium Alloy - Mjolnir San Mai - Groot Handle - Wonder Woman Lasso Paracord Lanyard! Juggernaut Helmet material Sheath?

what did you wrap the handle with?

Crocodile Dundee would approve.

A knife guy would have to have the resolve of a Benedictine Monk not to run out and start chopping with it ! You are right this knife will out perform a 75.00 - 100.00 knife ; there comes a point where there is the law of deminishing returns. If you spend more let's say for this knife.

I want one of these bad, but I just don't have the money right now. Dammit man!

I'm literally forced to choose between this and a crossbow for the price. I think I need a one tool option more then a sick around bow..... also what's going on with your cheeks shipmate? You try to dryshave with that pig sticker? Fair winds brother.

TRYING to get a Bark River Honey Badger......STILL. Its very hard to get.

Is it possible to order a Bark River just the way you want it? I mean, can you say something like I want this knife with those scales and mosaic pins? I have one Bark River, a beautiful Ultralight Bushcrafter with blue & gold elder burl scales and mosaic pins, and I'd really love to order a larger matching knife one of these days, something like a Crusader 3V with blue & gold elder burl scales and mosaic pins, but if I'm going to drop that kind of cash it's going to be exactly what I want or not at all. Can that be special ordered, or do I have to just hope that I can eventually find one in that configuration? My Ultralight Bushcrafter is exactly how I would've custom ordered it if I were custom ordering one, but I just got really lucky and got one second hand that happened to be made exactly how I wanted it.
