The Eldris knife has the blade length that it has because of Swedish knife laws. If you’re not working or doing some sort of hobby or activity like hiking, hunting or fishing, it’s not allowed to openly carry a blade that is 6 cm or longer in a public area.

The craftline series is made as simple work knives for people in constriction.

Thanks

Excellent video. Crisp and to the point. Very helpful. Thank you.

Where the hell are you getting a paramilitary fir a hundred and nineteen dollars

Great ideas. Im building one for myself now. Will swap or add a few things but this was great inspiration.

Didn’t know US are swapping out dollars for euros…!!!

Also dont forget toenail clippers and chapstick. Those two things are so damn important. Nails will mess you up if they just keep growing.

This guy would be the first one to die 😅

Marty I hope you're good. When you gonna post more vids??

I unironically used to watch this video back to back for hours on end every single day in high school, sitting there on my shitty little school Chromebook watching it over and over made my mind race with thoughts about all the things I’d put in my kit. I dreamt about it for years. Eventually I had to give up on it due to some personal and financial problems that arose but lately I’ve had the funds to get back into this hobby and I am proud to say that I FINALLY have my first, real survival kit. It is by no means perfect, and I absolutely intend on making purchases to upgrade many things in it, but with the things included I can easily survive in the woods, no problems, for a solid week and I’m so proud of myself for never giving up on this dream

Nice job!

Dude, what about the cold steel wild West Bowie I got one. I love it.

I have a Basic, a Companion, an Eldris & a Kansbol. I must say I like the Kansbol most among them since the handle is very grippy, the thin-out tip of the blade is perfect for my food prep & fine cuts, and basicly that's a strong robust knife.

Good to know. I've been wanting one of the Recon 1 knives.

Why does everyone who does some kind of so-called review of a large knife like a Bowie knife always take and split wood with it with another log or a hammer or something? If you’re going to split wood, you use a hatchet or an ax and if you’re splitting large logs, do you use a log splitter or splitting maul. Why try and destroy a knife that way? it’s so ridiculous. When I drive nails, I use a hammer. When I cut up limbs, I use a chainsaw. They use a screwdriver even to put in screws.

Infomercial?

Where can I find the fishing kit?

Bear Grylls: YUCK.

I would sacrifice a few things to fit a Victorinox Walker into the kit.

Suspenders are needed to carry that belt effectively otherwise your hips are and lower back are going to feel it ask any carpenter or who moves all day with a belt loaded with tools, otherwise solid stuff man

Love this video this help me buy 2 knives

Emerson like Benckmade are off the charts expensive. Think they would sell a lot more knives if they weren't so greedy.

Oh the Bear and Sons is truly a continuation of the Western W49 and 5 yr later it’s discontinued

Where is Marty

Just bought the Victorinox Swiss Army Knives Collector's Companion by Derek Jackson published 2018

To each their own but way to much crap carrying this all day would make for a bad back ache

The Bushcraft. Best GRIP an and its a real Worker

Excellent belt build, but where's your gun for SHTF? ;-) I'd add a small steel water bottle/cup and silnylon tarp with some lightweight paracord for rigging. Definitely need that Sharpie for occasional sniffing!

I have bought one in pretty good condition second hand for not even a 3rd of the current retail value. I have a few backpacks and I’m going to swap out my 5.11 rush 72 for this pack as my day to day pack. I work between a combination of office and onsite work. My 2 complaints with the Tiburon is that the side pockets are pretty small and not quite large enough for decent size water bottles. 500ml is fine but 750 at best if you’re lucky. Also there’s no obvious place to stash a laptop. I have a MacBook Pro and would have appreciated a slip pocket to the back of the pack. If you want this as an edc backpack although being very good it’s no good if you want to have a dedicated laptop compartment and sling water. Who wants them 2 items in the main compartment?!

I'm from Sweden and every Swedish soldier carries a Mora 2000! There is probably at least one Mora knife in every Swedish home, here they are very affordable so there is no reason to buy anything else. An alternative is, of course, Hultafors, also a Swedish brand.

“Bla, bla, bla, bla, bla”…????

A handgun for EDC?! Only in America ... I'm in UK and just bought a Gerber Shard - really cool little tool. Nice video.

<3 from Indonesia

The Voyager XL knives..... Are some of the absolute best knives I've ever owned. Cold Steel gets such a bad rep due to some of their over the top pieces they make..... But I have had better luck out of their products than any other ones ever..... If I could only choose just one blade to go through the apocalypse.... it'd be one that Mr Thompson made. I say all this as a Spyderco Fan Boy too.....

I just happened on this video while I’m considering adding a SAK to my knife collection and EDC rotation. I’m gravitating towards the Huntsman. Thanks for your timely & thorough video.

Meh, all pretty knives tested by what looks like city Boys. Getting a bowie made specifically for my use and to fit my hands.

What about Al mar limited edition Bowie knife.

Altoids: Perfect for someone who wants to freshen their breath, or survive the apocalypse.

I have a Tops Armageddon

Bear and son should be #1 its in Sandvik steel!!!!??? Omg I'm getting one. Condor 2nd imo. Bowies aren't meant to be pretty lap dogs. They're side piece beast.

That is because 511 does not promote videos

First tactical is better

Bear and Sons Bowie is just a new version of the old Classic Western W49, and I do believe Bear bought the toolings when Camillus went out of business..Camillus bought Western from Coleman, and Coleman bought Western from Western when they decided to retire

Man, that’s a new kind of ugly for a backpack

I think the mini knife in an altoid's kit is unpractical. The reason is that if you have an altoid's kit in your pocket, you should also have a pocket knife.

I have 2 fixed blade knives, bark river and a ka bar, that i have never cut anything with, so i do not need to own 5 bowie knives.

Bug out ? Ever been through hell and back ? The dollar store stuff isn't going to it done for long. Better get your mind prepared first.
