Big Bag O' Blades 2 pt 5: Survival Knives, Bushcraft Knives, Axes, and More! 

Dont remove the black finish. It's to keep the knife from rusting.

CIV EDM you can prevent rust pretty easily if you know what your doing and i believe he lives in an area where its not a huge issue

trey olson Well i dont see a point in removing the coating merely for looks. Its there for a reason.

a lot of people dislike that every knife made now days is a "tactical" whatever the fuck

trey olson True but the coating has nothing to do with the tactical mumbo jumbo. Its there to help keep a majority of the blade from rusting, when in the shit, without having to put in an extra effort to keep that from happening. The whole "tactical" bs means nothing to me. I pay mind to it shape, weight, size, material, features, etc. Thats how you buy a knife.

id have to disagree the coating has alot to do with calling something tactical the same way if something is green its called a "zombie" blade there are plenty of better coatings and tops offers a couple of them on different knives but honestly if you have a high polish on your knife like him and you dry it off after use like you should even if there is coating then rust shouldnt be a problem unless you live somewhere where it is damp a lot

he uses 2 knives in the movie one while giving his hunting armed men speech and the large Machete/knife that was in the first predators movie that knife is a very large knife!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The shock cord has an elasticity to it where paracord doesn't (as much). Shock cord, in my opinion, works a lot better for use as a knife, axe, etc. lanyard because of the tension it produces thereby keeping your hand, for all intents and purposes, "locked in" to the handle of the blade. And, if you haven't used either paracord or shock cord on your knives lanyard holes before, you will amazed at the added control you will have witj your blade (tool, hatchet, tomahawk, etc.) Hole that helps.

No, but maybe I'll get some and try it. When we move in two weeks I want to get a bench grinder so I can get a polishing wheel. No room here.

Awesome man I think you'll enjoy it! You can also touch up the edges of your knives with it and get it super sharp after some use instead of re sharpening.

I agree. I did it because it's popular for some reason. Still haven't figured out why.

Don't see the need for it.

Tom A if you decide you want a knife in that style please don't go and buy the Camillus carnivore it barely has a tang and what is has isn't even worthy of being called a rat tail that thing is junk don't know anything about the BK3 but the carnivore is the same style but junk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Michael Mixson appreciate the advice,I have the bk3,I keep it my car kit..I think it is perfect for the vehicle..I'm sure someone has done a review on it.

ok cool I just know times are tight right now and didn't want you to be in a store see the carnivore and think you could save yourself 20 or 30 bucks

a schrade schf 26, condor bushlore, or condor kephart, and the mora bushcraft black are all well under 50$ an are great knives

Don't know the model number. The knife and the sheath are on page 9 of the fixed blade section of www.preparedmind101.com

rifelmans hawk that he broke on purpose to test a repair kit

Michael Mixson hey thank's man I've been wondering what it was for a while now

It's not a waste if it wasn't a "good" coating to begin with. Also it is totally possible for him to change his mind down the road and recoat them with Duracoat or Saracoat if he wishes.

Key word here: "Durable". 99% of factory coatings are not durable. They are there to shortcut production. Polishing takes time. Black stuff is only worth having if you don't put your blades through wood. If you do, it'll rub and scrape off and look like shit. That Discord Machete actually had splinters embedded in the black coating. I do not see the point in it. It's just faster and easier for companies to coat a knife then finish the job.

PREPAREDMIND101 And consumers in the know and who have a little skill can buy some really inexpensive tools that they can modify into really good tools for very little money. This is one of the reasons that I like Condor very much.

I'd go TOPS B.O.B.

you can spend that on knives easy so more than likely much much more

way more then that. If you buy quality blades that price range wont even get you a large collection.

I don't know. I wheel and deal. Some I get from companies. I bought a CRKT RMJ tactical tomahawk that I didn't like ($100) and traded it for that brand new Steel Eagle ($170). But lifetime? I'm sure I've spent $2000 easy. Especially since getting into better knives like TOPS.

what do you mean made it a drop point ? it was already a drop point!

Personally I think the old hick is more of a clip point or modified clip point not a drop point not mine looks like a tops scandi trekker "KNIFEJUNKIE13"

Use Jasco paint and epoxy remover, it wont dmg the blade

The black finish is to keep the knives from rusting! There is a reason why every knife on earth has a black finish. If you want a knife without a black finish, buy a stainless steel knife. This is a 1095 high carbon steel blade. It will rust to shit out in the sticks without the finish.

Paint stripper will do the trick. They are much improved when stripped of that nasty coarse coating.

Steel eagle, destruction test I watched on bk7 didn't go do well

Nowhere near as dicey as the Mora SL2 which everyone is so fond of.

i'm gonna pick up one of those butcher knives sometime next week and i think i may wrap the handle to avoid this

ive had mine for years and never had a hand slip ! i dont think it is an issue.

I don't understand.

Ate you talking about the dead hollow stump of the tree that fell 3 years ago?

I do not know if that tree is dead but I know that you have a lot of toys and you just beat a dead tree!!!!!!!!! .............. when some action??? ???

That's because it's primarily a gear review channel. The other stuff comes when it's convenient. Not going to be much field stuff in June as I'm preparing to move. LOTS in July/August.

Plus, people need to let go of the "RU-vid as Survivorman" fantasy. No matter how it was done, it wouldn't be believed. And I've detailed many times why it is way harder to do then people think. The only real way to do it is to have a completely independent film crew, and how many youtubers can pull that off? I can barely manage camp if I'm trying to set up videos. As for knives.... knives have the most varied options of any survival gear category. Knives are the #1 most important item in said kit, and knives get more video views then any other part. There are filters, hammocks, and other stuff coming up. I do what's easiest in the limited time I have this month and I'm sitting on a pile of knives and flashlights and stuff that have to be reviewed.

This guy must be a pm101 noob ,Chris does gear reviews all the time this is BBOB 2 !!! And we been wanting it ! Just go into his playlist and see all the gear reviews you want and leave our BBOB alone !

Please don't get me wrong I was joking and sorry about calling you a dude . : )

Zach Henderson You got owned by a girl. Or rather, a GRRRR'L! Female PM101 viewers always kick ass in my book.

Oh and ur a an expert

FYI he actually is a knife expert cause he is a knife designer
