He may not be wearing his pants, but is he wearing his Soffe's? :P

What was it about? Some lost bet? That sounded a lot Old Spice, though :D

Thank you United States Marine Corps, your input is always valued.

KABAR BEST KNIFE!!! ME LIKE CRAYONS!!!

I bought my first KaBar the day before payday and unfortunately only had enough money for the large box of Rose Art crayons, they're not nearly as good as Crayola.

I know this is 2 years ago, but good job, now you can swing your sword around like a paladin

Big knives can do small knife jobs, but small knives can't do big knife jobs.

@@theKashConnoisseur I appreciate your comment. In these moments, where I question my KA-BAR 1213 purchase 2 days ago, your point brings me comfort and fulfilment. Long live you and your wisdom. And long live my KA-BAR 1213 that I will now keep, thanks to you.

Yep GT's intros are some of the best!

No!!!!!!!!! We do _not_ want music - epic or otherwise!

Missed opportunity.

The Finn-isher as a Marine veteran, I concur.

Ha! That's a new one to me. Man, I guess I'm gettin' old.

The Russki Carl I got a mk-8 but I was born with it, so why complain about it.

Intro about the cig thing Lmao I did do that couple times haha I just came out the closet ... of denial

Ontario makes excellent knives for a very modest cost point. The RAT series is spot on. I have a 4 and a 5. And recently the TAK has been added to my knife usage. My pilot survival knife is a Camillus, 70s era.

The Rat series is also designed by Esee Knives, and Ontario Knives is an offshoot of Ka-Bar so wins all around.

@@boramsey3981 What do you fly?

I'm not wearing pants because I spent all my money on knives. 😮‍💨

Don't be such a brute

25 percent longer, ~50 percent larger!

This is a very important point to consider!!!!

I've found that most girls don't like them that thick.

I'm honored

Garand Thumb i fucking died

Hahaha!!! Nice! Great blade!

LMAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@GarandThumb I’ll

You’re joking right

@@Noah-cg2dr I am not, just make sure you use only a little bit. Don't let it get goopy. Rust can show up a few hours after water exposure. My "test" has shown it has worked every time now.

@@Noah-cg2dr any oil will work, mineral oil is the cheapest but i beleive that pork lard makes it so its food safe

Also for lonely nights, sooo say Omar, tent expert.

@@lakepostell6912 Rosey, you're alright.

I got you bae

That's because daddy Garand knows everything. ;)

You my good sir, are a genius.

"Poon Tang" brings with it a WHOLE new set of problems...

Agree.

Wanna put comps on our glock 19's and shoot together and then paint over the AR500 steel while holding the same can of white primer paint?

Such a tactically erotic question. 😜😂🤣

Jenn Martinello why did this make sense

Seriously. Where can we get it made in to a full track?

Tacticalincentive PS we should be together too.

Omg this comment had me rolling 😂

Omg I was literally just listening to this lol

Stan

has flannel daddy killed a man? god no killed a thot? multiple

Perhaps he has. If he has, most likely did so with an M4 instead of an ESEE4.

@@NGMonocrom Easy now trupper

Appreciate the input!

The full tang Garberg by Mora just cane out two years ago. This video is three years old.

Batoning is what convinced me. I do very light and minimal batoning but using a 5 inch blade limited my options and was riskier.

I searched the net and found a new one for $50.00, without the sheath.

He was told no more recommending $1000 dollar equipment reviews. Guess he's gonna have to wait to get that new sailboat.

I have about 100 mora knifes, Ive never broken one at the tang. The old ones are pretty soft so you can bend them, they don't brake at all. The never ones you kan brake, and I have broken some, but it's always the blade itself that brake. If you use it for bending then get the one that has a thicker blade. That one is very hard to brake.

The Mora that he showed here is in fact the Garberg which is a full tang knife, so I'm really questioning his knife knowledge a bit. I agree with the ESEE choice though; I carry an ESEE Laser Strike and it's the best fixed blade I've EVER EDC'd.

@@stevenpotter4625 thats actually a mora kansbol its not a garberg, and its not full tang. I'm questioning your knife knowledge a bit.

@@stevenpotter4625 that is a kansbol.. question your own knife knowledge.

@@jontetomte9271 I like moras but they are cheap made and not full tang(except for the Garberg which IS full tang but cost almost 10x more than the other models which is a ripoff when you can get a much better knife for that price

"It puts the CLP on it's skin, it does this whenever it's told..."

SpittingTruth Haha!

WRONG

But it makes master chiefs breath minty fresh...

Shawn, I don't think a knife with a 7+ inch blade is intended for "general use", whatever one understands by that. It is a tool for specific uses - chopping, felling, lumber dressing, heavy camp tasks. Trying to do eg, feathering, with it is a little silly. For that you use a knife intended for that purpose, like a 4 inch or so Scandi grind knife, which basically has a single, or very limited use. Neither of these knives are particularly good in the carcass-dressing dept or other food preparation. For that you ideally use a thin flat ground blade that slices meat thinly and neatly with minimal effort. Lastly for those little fine, fiddly tasks that don't require much power, one could go to a small (3") paring knife that doesn't need to be robust, but has a keen edge, like a Victorinox paring knife. Now, many people search fruitlessly for the Holy Grail of knives - one that can do ALL these tasks effortlessly and best! They will, unfortunately, continue in their search for the rest of their days, as such a thing just does not exist. The only way to move forward is to identify your number one priority, and find a knife that does that the best. After that, if it can do some of the others quite well that is a bonus. It's a matter of adapting what you have to what you need it to do. The other alternative is to come to terms with carrying a touch more weight and getting better equipment, ie more than one knife. I hope you see where this is going.

Sounds like you're projecting the fact you got a small pecker

@@billylongdick3192 Looks like you continue to live in false hope! Cheers mate!

It really is refreshing to see someone who isn’t expecting 7 inches. In my opinion, even 5 is overkill, but who’s counting

​@@kaiserwigglesiii23695 is pretty big, honestly...

Destructive

Disruptive

Thomas Jefferson well that is why some of us have a rucksack that has a few extra items in it for the 'just in case' situation. Of course in our life we are unlikely to ever need a knife in a survival situation, but it's better to be prepared than to not. For example I've been robbed when I was 16 years old. If I had a knife on me, being outnumbered would not be as much of an issue.

So BK7 (or esse6) to cover the 1st 3 points... SR1 tanto to cover #4?

I been EDC-ing a ESEE4 for 4 years now, I have plenty of large knives but that little ESEE is always with me and is very capable for most problems. Outdoor and construction activities,prying batoning etc.

Agreed

Zack Harton if you keep rubbing it it will never get time to rust.

personally, I prefer d2 tool steel, it holds an edge very well and doesn't rust very much, but it takes a little harder to sharpen. Please notice me Sgt. Thumb

And a little clp will negate the majority of oxidation.

Agree! ESEE 5 all the way. It’s a tank!
