After all that I would've been shocked if it was still sharp as hell. It's only 1095. A good tough steel, but a basic steel, not a super steel. I think it did just fine considering that. Oh, and yes it's ironwood handles. Good job brother.
I have both the 2 and 10. The 2 really is a beast, but the 10 is a better slicer. Both have their place. I really like those handle scales, and the leather sheath is also a big improvement.
I just uploaded a video on this knife myself, so I stopped back in to check yours out again. This knife has really impressed the hell out of me, and yes, if all you did was strop it, it stropped back great! Came back razor sharp!
its allways a joy watching your awesome reviews Brother, not many Man are able to do it the way you do Brother, your channel is unique, your unique, and by the love of God the Queen Megatron is a woman i would die for...much love to you and Megatron
I'm going to be honest with you Isaac I think it is more purpose driven when it comes to say camping bushcrafting hiking then the BK2. I think they both have their place but I think you would get more out of the BK-10 just being straight up hell I think I would too
The BK series has always been a good line of knives. They hold up you can count on them when needed. Your BK-2 will hold up just fine I think but give it hell. Great demo as usual. Have a great week brother.
I enjoyed this video and thought your explanation of how you'd actually treat a knife during a real survival situation was spot on; I'd try to do the same. 👍Thanks for sharing and Cheers!
Thanks man I just feel like that's some more common sense approach. I know and a quote unquote survival type deal everything's out window but you can't just go crazy
Love the looks of the BK handles and blades. I’ve come close a few times of dropping some coin on one of those. Great demo brother and stay safe down there with the weather coming. 👍👍🙏🏻
I'm not a real "Fan" of the stock BK knives, but they sure are pretty stripped down with a little lipstick put on them and that one there is awfully pretty. Nice work!!! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks brother! Here's the deal man after having John on Blade talk I was already a fan I just became a bigger fan he knew the history he was part of the history in such an awesome guy man! I'm on a mission with my BK too I'm going to prove some s***
For years, anytime someone brought up survival knives, the BK series always had a mention. Not hard to see why. Don't own any of them personally, but I have always found their Warthog to be an absolute beast of a field/work knife.
The thing that cracks me up when certain people are reviewing knives is "...and you can use these holes to lash it to a stick to make a spear in a survival situation." Why TF would you throw the most important tool you would have in that situation? Just make a pointy stick. You hit a rock or something and break the tip, or a bone in your prey and chip the edge, or miss and lose your knife, you're screwed. It's a forward lanyard hole because some people prefer their lanyard to anchor more towards the center of the knife. 😂
Realistically, for fishing/frog hunting, an improvised gig will suffice. While a pointy stick might not be very effective against larger game, it is hard to imagine a _realistic_ survival scenario in which throwing spears will be your best option. In any case, a person who can't figure out how to lash a knife to a stick is _not_ going to survive the zombie apocalypse, not because of a lack of holes in their knife, but because of a lack of basic resourcefulness.
@@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors yeah I did thanks Brother. I saw one of their winter storm camps. Was really cool. There is another NZ channel I just saw called Crispy Outdoors. He did a two night solo with a one knife only he made himself. Was a great video. Must have been cold
@@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors he’s a cool dude. I just watched a hunting video he did a month ago too. Sleeping rough in the bush is not always a pleasant experience so full respect to this guy
Should it happen that one finds yourself in a bad spot with only one knife, you sure as hell need to be careful with it. Loose or break that knife and you have none. Short of having to break yourself out of a car wreck or some similar situation, you will use it for cutting, maybe copping saplings and bettoning if you really can not find dry kindling. Seems some people think survival is about dramatic gestures, when most of the time commen sense is what needs to prevail. Please excuse any spelling mistakes. I work with my hands, not words. I enjoy the down to earth aprouche of your channel. Last thing. I commented the other day that I like the causes you support. You sent a message back thanking me which I appreciate. Thank you mate, for being straight-up and humble. I am a vet and addictl. The police have never treated me unjustly, even when I probably had it coming, and I am a old school middle aged white man in an African country I love. Keep up the good work.
I absolutely love this comment! You are spot on I'm not sure what people think's going to happen but I know for a fact you're not going to use your knife to drop through bricks or try to cut steel with! Common sense is not very common anymore. Brother I appreciate the comment and the thoughts put into it Thank you so much for the support!!
@@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors While I haven't held the BK 16-19, with the smaller handles, I have held a BK 2, 7, and 9. While I don't dislike the scale material as much as I do GRN and FRN, micarta is definitely an upgrade. And, since I am one Tacti-Cringe MF, I am going to dye them black to go with the black blade and the black sheath. 🙂
I have one of these beasts the only mods I’ve done are ground down the thumb ramp to flat and I put some micarta scales yes the over priced ones but it has been the knife I grab every time hell of a knife as always great review no BS straight to what the knife can do
I’m a diehard Esee man so it was hard for me to pull the trigger on the BK10 lol . Glad I did though it’s a damn laser beam once you thin the edge back a bit . I stippled the scales and camo painted the sheath on mine .
Scab if you don't mind a suggestion for when you do the torture demo on the bk2. Why not do a variation on the test that cold steel used when they did pull ups on the handle with it in a pipe
Buddy that would be great..... However, none of them were 272lb or 52 years lmao... Dude I might could do 1🤣. While it is an awesome suggestion I'm not sure Im the one to pull it off
@@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors I'm taking that into account because my suggestion is to just hang from it not do pull ups kind of like driving it into a tree and standing on the handle testing tip strength and overall strength
IMHO, breaking knives intentionally through unreasonable abuse by some channels is simply ridiculous and only for shock value. What I want to know is how will a knife perform in its intended role AND how will it handle what today is considered standard outdoor tasks like batoning, digging, drilling, etc. Any knife will break if it is pushed far enough. I have seen 3/8" thick Busses break AFTER a half hour of abuse and batoning through plate steel with a sledgehammer. So, the way you do it brother is CORRECT.
Here's what people don't get man If you take a knife and it holds up to an hour of hard use abuse type testing that knife is jam up.... Now here's the thing and here's what a lot of people don't understand there are certain channels out there that have it in for American products there I've said it because it's the truth. And I'm not talking about a channel like Joe x I like Joe he's a good guy I'm not talking about him at all he has his thing everybody knows what his deal is right but if anybody thinks or doesn't think that there's a lot of backdoor politicking going on against companies especially like K-Bar especially like tops especially american-made manufacturers If they don't think that's happening they're out of their damn mind. I talked to Bill Harsey quite frequently.. he even said out of his own mouth when Spartan blades first started there were certain channels that got paid to break their knives. See that stuff we don't talk about and I don't like bringing it up without hard facts but the larger I get the more I see if that makes sense and it ain't going to be long brother what's done in the dark will be brought to the light
@@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors Scab, I think you are right! You know I never considered that but in our current world where corporate espionage and sabotage are common, that makes a lot of sense!
I do not care about people breaking knives it dont effect me at all . The Becker series is awesome , the BK10 is freaking killer looking. I have the BK18 Harpoon which I modded out and i love it . Geometry is King & Carbon rules
That is pretty much as thick as anyone really needs their knife to be. Thicker is better up to a certain point but after that it just makes it heavy & harder to get through the material. Obviously the thinner it is the less force it requires to push that blade through the target material. With knives, swords & really just weapons in general there is no such thing as the one that does everything perfectly. Its always a trade off between weight vs strength, cut vs thrust, etc etc. The fact is though our ancestors didnt build knives like modern companies do for a reason, it just wasn't needed. You dont need a sword that can handle bashing into armour like a club, b/c you can't cut through armour anyway. Instead they would aim for places that werent covered in armour like the arm pits or groin area. In other words use the tool smart.
That has become my rallying cry. There's a lot going on that I'll explain in due time but there is a reason for a lot of this. I am a firm believer in using the tool as a tool. Now there are just some that are poorly made and there are some one-offs that are just bad there's no denying that but there is an assault on US made stuff certain companies in particular and it's ridiculous
Honestly I just took the handle scales off and got a paint stripper from Ace hardware. It's a shame to say but a lot of times with the BK series the metal is not prepped correctly and it'll come off pretty easy which is good I guess
If you're going to be testing knives to destruction for the YT views, maybe grab a cheaper knife as a control. You can certainly destroy a Mora Companion if you do a lot of batoning (seeing what it took to wreck it was what persuaded me to buy one), and if you do manage it, you're only down $20.
Has zero to do with views I may not even show it man. It's more to do with the legitimaticy of the the review process . There's a lot more going on that most people realize.. I hate destroying a knife and the truth is I am betting it holds up pretty well
You know, the Buck 119 in supersteel is my favorite knife. Now only I can use it for survival and bushcraft, but I can also use it in normal urban situations and I dont think normies get so scared about it. They dont understand how much damage a small knife like the Buck 119 can do. A lot of people complain of the rat tail but Ive broken the knife before on purpose to know its limits. If you know what you're doing you dont mind about the knife being full tang. Not everyone enjoys a sharpened chunk of steel. Nothing wrong with that either
Brother I 100 million percent agree with you and that's the way I approach this whole knife game. If you use the damn thing like you're supposed to it will last That's my whole point.. but we live in an internet age and so I'm going to settle some questions for myself and just roll on
