Strange, Wonderful? Aitor Oso Negro Combat Survival Knife 

I'm a proud owner of an original Aitor Oso Negro from the Portuguese Army, with the words "Exército Português" carved on the blade. I've bought it before I start the special forces course and carried it for all the course. What an amazing knife. It does everything you want from a knife and more. It breaks every piece of wood apart. It cut logs... Everything. And she stills cutting amazingly after all this time.

I'm very happy with this review of "La niña de mis ojos" this is maybe the most known spanish knife but i have to say that we don't use it for carving or doing feather sticks, WE USE IT FOR CHOPPING TREES! Muajajaja !!! I love your content, hi from Spain.

Good combat knive. Un buen cuchillo. Spain makes great knives.

Cuchillazo! Aunque ahora no esté de moda sigue siendo un cuchillo estupendo. BUENO PARA TODO, TAMBIÉN PARA BUSHCRAFT. LO HACE COMPLETAMENTE TODO.Tengo uno. Buen video. Saludos y gracias!

Man, these Spaniards 🇪🇸🇪🇸make some crazy Awesome knives!! *#1* 🇪🇸🇪🇸

The shape of that blade has a lot of the "falcata" ( spanish historical sword. This brand & model( Aitor " oso negro") has been issued to several military corps. Is not new, it's been tested a lot & most of knife fans in Europe( & probably the world) think is a great blade.

Great review! I was introduced to Aitor knives while in Australia, I had an opportunity to go on a walkabout camp trip into the Kakadu National Park years ago and almost all the Rangers in the field had Aitor NATO Bowies on them. They were not always with our group but on the occasions they camped with us I got to see the knife in action working on the notoriously hard Gum wood and coming through with flying colors. The knife you featured in your review is Aitors civilian model of the Spanish military Cuchillo de Monte a famous knife throughout Europe. After returning to the US I purchased the Bowie and reprofiled it like I saw the Rangers had , and while It does have a little softer steel it sharpens to razor in about 45 seconds on a ceramic rod after a good day of use, which I really don't mind as kind of ritual in camp at night. I think you would like the Bowie better just as I have- no saw on spine and you can choke up to do finer tasks.

...always viewed these as an enthusiast's combat blade from Spain... it does have a reputation and following culture. Nice... well done and realistic review.

El oso nogro de Aitor está considerado uno de los mejores cuchillos del mundo

Apparently is the unofficial knife of the Portuguese army...although is Spanish made

Just a couple of things: 1- Kukris usually are nor double edged and the recurve shape is much more pronounced. Oso Negro is more like an Iberian falcata. 2- First Oso Negro generation (1981) had a bigger and much stronger steell cross-guard (pretty good to open bottles of bear). 3- Oso Negro was the "unofficial" knife for some special units in the Spanish army, like skiers-climbers, SOp etc.

Very nice knife. Not to be confused with replicas.

El legendario oso negro, considerado el mejor cuchillo de supervivencia del mundo, inventado por el general Villegas y uno de los más copiados, sige de dotación en el Ejército Español en Operaciones Especiales, un tipo de hoja muy común en España pues desde tiempos inmemorables hubo dos tipos de espadas, la falcata con esa forma y la gladius hispanienses copiada por los romanos.

Rambo would be proud to carry that blade.

In inherited of an old Aitor Oso Blanco. Not the best steel in the world but in my opinion the design is really gorgeous. Bonus: the top guard on mine can be used as bottle opener! Cheers

Este cuchillo de la aitor de ermua que fabrico el oso negro y blanco hasta su venta era uno de los mejores cuchillos de supervivencia y combate del mundo y sigue siendo un cuchillo de lo mejorcito co otros de esta misma marca,como el comando,jk1,jk2,bucanero,montero,botero,etc,utilizado en españa por el ejercito tanto en tierra,mar y aire y interejercitos,yo lo tuve en infantería de marina grandisimo cuchillo.

Hermoso cuchillo práctico y resistente para toda ocasión de supervivencia. 🇨🇴

John Rambo called he wants his knife back

Really like the look of that red wood stuff !

Hi, yeah as you know I reviewed the Olive wood version of this knife. It is a beast of a knife and not likely to fall apart on me LOL. As for the steel keeping an edge, well my one was a little uneven in the grind and I'm trying to right that. But yeah, it hasn't been too bad even if it got a bit dull after a day of cutting wild mushrooms but the caveat was that I had cut into grass and dirt all day, hacked up hardwood for BBQ, cut chicken on ceramic plates and general arsing about LOL, and silica on grass and dirt don't do well to any knife steel either. Good review too.

that redgum stuff you're always chopping at looks like really beautiful wood, would love to see it as some kind-of handle material all polished up

always liked these knives

That's the Portuguese Army Knife

When i saw the dog in the intro i thought i clicked the wrong video

which takes more of a beating as far as Edge retention do you think the main cutting-edge batoning through that piece of wood or the clip being beaten down

I don't understand why they could not do a more usable saw on that blade compared to a cheap silky saw.

Excellent video. Ty!

Oso negro means black bear in Spanish Pete, not sure If you knew. Thanks for another cool review my friend. Looks like aitor heat treated that 8? Cr Mo v pretty good huh? I mean for what it is.

So is it actually a stick tang? And does the plastic handle make it feel cheap?

Not my style either, but looking forward to your BK7 review. I've been close to pulling the trigger on a couple of those Ka-Bar Beckers in the past

Hello CEDRIC .. I am your subscriber from Indonesia, if you don't mind, could you review the AITOR COMMANDO Knife from AITOR COMPANY, because one of the special forces in my country still uses the knife from AITOR to this day. Thank You

my dad gave me his knife that he had in the finnish army 1990-1991

The old Spanish bayonet had a Bolo shape ......Its like Aitor used that and crossed it with a Rambo Bowie...

Hola el chino q tal es? El original no se consigue en argentina

Portugues army knife

El mejor cuchillo del mundo y más copiado

I "was" considering getting this knife until, I saw your freshly sharpened edge cut rope only 25 times. Completely stop after only 25 cuts? I really liked that knife BUT, over 100 bucks on 440A, maybe B stainless? My heart sank... I remember your very clear warning about if it just says stainless steel, it's probably "crap steel"! And after only 25 cuts on a freshly sharpened knife (by you no less), proved that the steel in this knife is shit! Thank you!!! You just saved me from having a over 100 dollar disappointment...

I should have suggested the bk5 to you for your cutting test, it's the best slicer in the bk series, it's thinner behind the edge than most folding knives and might have made your test a bit more easy going. LOL, I'm actually a little nervous about the testing, you better not let me down 1095 cro-van!

It is a Spanish knife that has become the official knife in 16 armies around the world, no small feat!

Excellent video Ty!

Damn I don't want to be a Cutlery Oriented Collector of Knowledge here but I think for it to be kukri shaped it has be way more recurved- like to the point that it's bent over.

I don't mind "low tech" steel on my blades. Tough. Easy to sharpen. Lower price.

i am Bangladeshi..How can i get it❓

I bet you that red wood you have there would make some beautiful knife scales!?!?!

If or when I should have the opportunity I would want to lend you my TRC Knives Apocalypse L in m390 for doing a review. I could imagine you would like this one. Only rule would be no worksharp edge because I am a snob in this department. xD

link of knife ?

I guess there's a market for this 'Rambo' style knife.

I choose glock 81 and this one for carry on belt

Buen video !

Metal gear solid v knife!

Say Heah Cedric, Yeah, Nice Knife. I also see how much they cost now too. But I just got a S. O. G. Pillar Fix Blade. It's a 5" blade with a choil that makes it a very good Bush Craft Knife. Seriosly if you have a chance to get one, I defenetly recommend it. The steel is CPM S35Vn I also set tge sheath for a horizontal carry, I use it as part of my basic Trio. With my Gransfors Bruks Small Forest Axe and either my Agawa Canyon 21 Boreal Saw or my WoW Folding Saw. But my Wicked Tough Saw would be a good choice too. Yeah, Atleast check it out.,,. p

I wouldnt say it was combat oriented at all. I mean it isnt a Spanish military knife or anything like that.

Buen cuchillo hasta hace 25 años. Desactualizado y caro. Sigue siendo buen cuchillo pero solo lo tendría por historia cuchillera. Pero que cueste 125$ y solo haga 25 cortes antes de perder filo muestra la vergüenza de la cuchilleria española que si buen fue una gran fuerza en los 70,80 y algo en los 90 ya no queda nada de aquello.

Mini Boina verde de Cudeman, you could try it!

I got on in Iraq! Only 8 dollar

''Our'' Ka-Bar actually are the Glock 78/81 knives. But the Aitor looks dope as fuck. I was close to buying it some time ago but the steel and grind turned me off.

Bolo style blade rather than kukri style......

jesus, i'm having reservations about this thing. bought a copycat by United Cutlery's M48 Series. Terrible, TERRIBLE knife. hope this one is much better than the other. DON'T get the copycat. it's 20$ and just as bad as I make it sound.

👍👍😀👍

Yo tengo el oso blanco y es una maravilla de cuchillo
