Survival Lilly's K.n.i.f.e is here 

Here is the new version of my knife: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-j2vRFnZA6xc.html You can get it here: www.survivallilly.at/

That is awesome Lilly. I'm really impressed with the amount of time and effort you put into this design. I'm looking forward to using it in the field.

I was able to order yesterday, but had lots of trouble with the web site accepting one of my cards, so apparently I did an accidental double order. I just received an email from Lilly where she noticed the accidental double order and wanted to make sure it was corrected. Impressive customer service! Looking forward to receiving her great knife!

Lilly saw that I accidentally did a double order and quickly fixed the order once she contacted me to be sure I did not order 2 knives on purpose. Outstanding customer service!!!!!!! She is an honest, and trustable internet merchant!!!! LOVE THE KNIFE!!!!!!! She included a suvivral Lilly patch, love rhat!! Very happy with my order!!!!

That's a great knife! Congratulations, Lilly! Going through all of the various reviews, tests, and revisions required to design a knife is time consuming and hard work, so I respect what you have accomplished. I really like the quality features that you've included. Congrats!

Nice knife. Whole lot of thought went into that tool. Watched this with my daughters. It’s nice for them to have another example of a young female entrepreneur.

I like it. No gimmicks, just a simple knife - but carbon steel screws? That is crazy. You will get lots of rust on the tang of this knife under the scales.

I really like the size of this knife, its not too big, something I would actually carry on a belt sheath, love the transparency with crash testing your own gear. Very honest

I'm gonna order it just to support. You done where your from and other countries. Put alot of effort in you vids. Deserves the support!!

I know this particular video is over two years old, but I just wanted to comment that I just received my beautiful APO1S! Love it! It’s more than I imagined. Excellent functional tool. Thank you for sharing your dream with us and making it come true. Danke. God bless you and your family👍💞

Ill be ordering one asap. Yay my fav survival channel made it's own blade. Feels oddly sentimental. I remember finding your channel through a video of you building a primitive shelter. Congratulations!

For US residents because the value is under $800 it should be able to come in Duty free. However I don't know the local state laws around importation of transfer of Knives so please check your local laws. But there should be no Customs Duties associated with the knife into the U.S.

Your website had an apocalyptic event! 😂 How appropriate for APO 1.

I love these videos - they are honest and very educational - I am the fussiest person on the planet when it comes to outdoor knifes but this time, after watching this truly honest and factual video, I've been sold and ordered one - looking forward to its arrival. Thanks Lilly

Lilly, Lilly, Lilly I’m from the Ozark mountains in Missouri and I’ve been building shelters in the woods for years, wish we could hang out in the woods and build a shelter. Great job !!!

Lilly I just recieved your knife. I am so impressed. It is perfect.Thank you so much.

Paused the video seconds after starting it to order the knife. After watching the video was not disappointed. I enjoy your videos in general, liked your explanations of how you developed your APO-1. I recall in Mora testing you used Kansbol and Garberg with a bow drill for fire starting. Am curious what your thought process was for shaping the lanyard hole on your APO-1 knife. All in all appears like a great utility knife to carry in general. Keep up the good work with your videos.

Wow Lilly! I have to admit that I've been eagerly waiting to see you stress test your knife! But on top of that, the fact that you've been using it for your Africa trip brings me a lot of satisfaction. Also thanks for showing us the evolution of your design, your attention to the details really does give me confidence in it. The fact that your site can't keep up with the demand shows me that others agree with me. Congratulations Lilly! This will be a great contribution to the prepper community!

Just got my Knife from Lilly and it is FANTASTIC!!!!!! I like everything she considered while designing the knife and the grip fits m hand PERFECTLY!!! I could not be happier!!!!

Hi Lilly, I received my APO-1, and stove the other day! I am so impressed with this knife, the quality, balance, strength and looks are truly outstanding. Thank you for the fast shipment from Austria to NY, USA (4 days). So impressed!

There is a USA made knife which fulfills all your requirements: the Benchmade Arvensis. It’s made of 154 CM, which is a better stainless steel. It costs about $175.00.

Awesome knife Lilly. You put a lot into it and you should be very proud. If you ever do a redesign maybe you should consider adding a finger choil for more controllable close up work. I love that thick point.

Congratulations Lilly !! I want one ! You have thousands of Canadian fans, perhaps an arrangement between you and Canadian Prepper to be your Canadian distributor / affiliate would facilitate many more sales than shipping from Austria. In addition, might help both your sales if you and CP did a cross promotion of the Bugout Roll and Apo-1 ! I'm not sure if Canada Customs will add a cost to Canadian sales of the APO-1 ... but I'm sure you can get around that by making Canadian Prepper your official Canadian office/affiliate or licensed distributor. I am a retired Toronto lawyer, and I would be more than happy to volunteer my services and give you a working contract (that you could amend or fine-tune to your business needs). I'm happy to provide this draft and any unofficial advice you need, for free as a gift to help you and Canadian Prepper's sales. And no I don't know CP, though I've been a fan of you both since your channels started.Anyway, good luck, I know this knife will 'cut down' poor quality competitors, ha. It seems a lot of quality field research went into your final product. Very impressive ... go, Lilly go !

Congratulations Lily. I’ve been watching your channel for a few years now, and I know how long and how hard you’ve worked to achieve the success that you now enjoy. Congratulations on another victory, and I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

I just bought my first APO 1S from the Canadian Preparedness website. Can't wait until it arrives! I love your show and keep up the amazing work. Thank you.

So if I wanted to test one on my channel and give an honest opinion is there a way to contact you other than RU-vid?

Her knife history sounds like my dating history.

Got my Knife yesterday, IT IS AWESOME!!!!!!! Thank You Lilly!

Lilly! Great job! I love the R&D effort you've put in this project. *standing ovation*

Wow that's a sick looking knife. The sheath is excellent looking too. I'm really thinking about picking one of these up. You did an outstanding job on the knife, Lilly! Congratulations!

great looking knife.send one to the boys at DBK

Ah, Corporals Corner just reviewed this knife! Didn't know it was yours!

It's a very good-looking knife and a very good design that makes a lot of sense.

That's so cool that you designed your own knife! That's the dream! My perfect knife would look a little different but I love the fact that it doesn't have a swedge/false edge on top - makes a huge difference in batoning which a lot of other survival knives get wrong. And I think you made an excellent choice with AUS8. Lots of people complaining, listing off tougher tool steels but for this POU (apocalypse knife) AUS8 is perfect. Well done :)

Your talent is endless. Great job!

"Out of Stock". That didn't take long! Time for another run.

I like it. No gimmicks, just a straight forward field knife.

I like it! I’d love to see it on Amazon Prime in the USA.

Miss Lilly, it is now 12/21/2019 and I just today recieved my APO-1!!!!!!! I’m really excited to carry and use it! I’ve watched all your videos and I know you’ve put a lot of thought and effort in the making of this knife! I agree it feels good in hand and I’m looking forward to put it to good use. Thank you and I’ll report back later after I’ve had the chance to use it! Take care and becarful out there!! I’m saying this from Arkansas in the US. God bless

i picked up my APO-1 from the post office today. i cannot be happier! this knife is a beast! very sharp out of the packaging the sheath is very sturdy. danke sehr!

$128US for an AUS8 knife made in Taiwan is not a product I would buy. I wish you the best of luck on selling them though.

Missed opportunity you could have Named the knife Tiger Named the brand Lilly

Man I was so ready to buy 2 of them until AUS8 was mentioned. That knife is awesome though. Great job. I’m a steel snob so take it for what’s its worth. If the steel changes in a run I’ll get a couple.

Very nice knife Lilly! As a former U.S. Army man, I carry two knives. First is my "pocket knife" which is great for gutting and skinning game, descaling fish, and a general purpose knife. The second is mine from the Army, which is my KA-BAR knife, pronounced "kay - bar". I trust you know it's uses and capabilities. I wish to look into this knife you have presented. It looks very utilitarian, and if so, maybe I can use this one for both. Thanks Lilly. You're a treasure of information!

Not gonna lie, I LOVE that prototype Lily! Wishing you the very best always!

Was just about to order when I noticed it's AUS-8. I can get a comparable knife at Walmart for half the price.

Looks awesome, nice job. Does is have 90 degrees spine for firesteel? And I would like an custome sheath with firesteel place.

AUS8, isn't that one of the ingredients of play doh?

Very nice Lilly. I like that fluted end, to get more extention for chopping. Seems like it would be a secure grip design , that you don't have to death grip it & would transfer less shock to your hand , forarm. Nice job.

Mine arrived last week, it’s as good as they get, some wonderful comments on Facebook about it too. Not just about the high standard and quality of it, but also about the thought and prototypes gone into it, so does it rate with previously well established knives. Well done Lilly, a real success with this one, I just need a few free days for myself to really test it out in the field, but I already feel completely confident taking it with me.

SRK Inspired

Wow! The thickness of this blade is unreal! Baton like a beast! I love it Lilly! As well, the grind and the tip are perfect for wilderness tasks. Love the micarta scale and grip, and the pommel/lanyard is probably going to be a huge selling point. I will check to see if I can get one under NZ law.

I want one of your knives! I think we crashed your website! LOL

As an older knife guy, 61, I appreciate a well built knife. Just saw you vid today. Really like the handle design, blade thickness, drop point, material and sheath design. Very well done. I have several with AUS 8 material, like you said not the best for edge retention, but very good. Enjoy your instructional videos.

You’re welcome. I really appreciate your gratitude. Such a thoughtful person.

Great knife ,but if I spent that amount of money on a knife the s.h.t.f. would happen immediately lol

Awesome! I love the knife! CONGRATULATIONS! 😍

The AUS8 steel is my favourite. Will wait for the website to get back up again!

My knife arrived today and it is awesome! A little small than I was expecting but still a great all around size. Can’t wait to put it to use. Thanks.

Great design! Well researched. I hope the sheath does not have glass fiber reinforcement otherwise you will have to retouch the edge each time you draw it out of the sheath. Well done, Lilly!

*Congratulations on designing a clone of a mass produced and well known knife. LMAO! Cold Steel SRK with a lanyard hole similar to Survive Knives GSO*

I like the velcro and snap combo on the belt loops.

Looks awesome, congratulations!

Just came across this video. Your field testing them on video just got you another sale. I look forward to purchasing 5 of them for my families bug out bags.

Fantastic work Lilly! Congratulations!!

This is basically a slightly modified Cold Steel SRK. The old version was made of AUS8A originally in japan then in Taiwan. You can pick them up for as little as $30-40 used off eBay. If you are interested in this knife I suggest just settling for a used SRK, cause $128 is a little outrageous.

I like stainless steel, but where is the bow drill divot and the ferro rod. I saw what you did to the fallkniven knife with a bow drill.....

OMG this is so close to the British Army Survival Knife with a few extra designs I would seriously suggest you find one and compare them, yours is a great modern knife well done this is going to really make your name.

Received my APO-1 yesterday! This is obviously an extremely well-made and well-planned tool. Just taking it from the sheath the first time, one can't help but be impressed with the heft and balance (and it's crazy sharp!). This is a serious knife; more than I will ever need! I watched this video again with the knife in front of me and I really appreciate, as a retired teacher, Lilly's explanations of her design process and the choices she made to arrive at the finished product. The next couple days it will be with me as I hunt and fish and I look forward to being able to use it for many years!

Nice looking and affordable knife .... congratulations. I am very happy that you and your endeavors have grown so much. I applaud your success. You are indeed an amazing young lady. Blessings to you.... 😊

Pretty bad SRK copy in lesser material for a higher price. What a joke!!

I dont know much about knives but that looks amazing.

@dutchbushcraftknives maybe test? :DD

Wow! I am very impressed with your knife design! The research and philosophy behind the design shows your years of experience in using all types of knives in outdoor and wilderness environments. I will be buying one soon! Congratulations Lilly! This knife is definitely over the top!

Congratulations Lilly. I look forward to getting one. Be well.

So, you call a lightly modified Cold Steel SRK your „own design“? Nice one 😂

Congrats well done on the APO 1. I like the handle loads of room on it.

Taiwanese AUS8 is among the best AUS8, assuming it's the from the factory I know (I'm Taiwanese) that made the Cold Steel knives it should be very very good.

Totally get it. I did the same with what became the AJ Karacal. My “end of the world” knife. I like your functional thinking - handle ergonomics, suitable for use with gloves and for chopping, also the ratio of length to depth, the fingerguard. Nice.

Congratulations Lilly! Very nice looking knife! Well done.

You will need a carbon steel version for some of us :)

You might consider stainless steel screws in the next run. I like the design. Very well thought out.

Way to much money!!! I would rather buy 3 cold steel SRK knives.....

Great design, Lilly! And as a bonus, it's also very attractive. Great work. Thanks!

Very nice design. That handle looks very comfortable. I hope you have great success with it.

@Survival Lilly you should have produced a few had your signature on them and sell them out at a good profit

As a Taiwanese. I am very happy to see this word on the knife.

Nice!

The steel used is produced in Japan and exported to Taiwan. The carbon steel screws can easily be protected by putting a little beeswax on them which will keep any moisture out. In any event, they can be removed and replaced with stainless or brass/ bronze screws if your knife is going to get wet often. I like the APO-1 blade because although it's hard it isn't too hard to make sharpening a chore. Having used knives for over 50 years, this one seems well thought out, well designed, maybe just a little expensive, but treated right will last for years and years. Might have been good to have a sharpening stone in a compartment with the sheath, but maybe that is going to make it too bulky for many people. ....and that maniac Joerge Sprav recommends it on his channel and that's good enough for me! Nice one Lilly!

You always do such a great job on all videos... thank you so much.

Website is down lol. “Too many requests”

Wow, what a beautiful knife! Can't wait to have my own 👍 At the moment your homepage has shoot down - too many request 😂👍 LG Marlene

great knife I love it what we need next is the APO2 survival axe strong handle sharp edge and a hammer the other end a good camp axe is always useful infact you could have yore own lineup of APO series survival gear

Congratulations on your first knife, really nice looking design.

There were 12 left when I bought mine. I have been casually shopping for a do it all knife for a year or so but haven't seen anything I liked. It is a beautiful knife and I can't wait to get it . Its my new favorite knife !!

Very nice survival knife

Just got the APO-1. First impression: very fine work, very(!) sharp, very good finish and best balanced. As expected, the back of the blade is perfect sharp to work with the firesteel/ferro-rod or make fine tinder from bone dry spruce brunches. Great work, Lilly. Update: Perfect knife, but it doesn't fit perfectly in the sheath. It rattles. Not comfortably, when you have to be silent. Some kind of rubber could solve the problem. A little disappointment.

AUS8 steel? Ha, ha, ha, ... No way!!!

Looks a lot better than most available knives out there! Well Done! I think most of us who are into bushcraft, survival and knives dream of designing our own knives. Yours seem to have fallen out really good.

That is a great looking knife! I love the stout tip, and the sheath is very nice. I bet that they will fly off the shelves. Way to go Lilly!
