5 Great Survival Knives

Please add the names on the screen as it's too fast to catch the names

[@lindabeebe7065]

Agree. Something about the “lion steel?”

[@royorkesjr.8386]

The Becker BK 7 is definitely one that should be in this list

[@normcote270]

ESEE Knives are incredible!!!

[@Plutopongovideos]

Since 1997

[@chrisloehr6641]

Have to mention that Joker Nomad 6.5 you just reviewed too. I just got mine and it is a beast yet qith the convex grind it still easily does finer work like feathers.

[@sgtfatrod8901]

Elbrus is the clear winner if you're in Europe. Elbrus probably has the best overall performance as well. (M7 close runner up but costs more) The esee & tops are a bit expensive here. Elbrus £125 M7 £175 Esee 6 £200 + Tops longhorn £240 + a terrible sheath that needs upgrading so like £300 after you get a kydex sheath for it.

[@melcastilloCrj700]

one that I absolutely love is the Condor Crotalous

[@txgunguy2766]

I'll stick with my Becker BK-9 and BK-2. They're both in kydex sheaths with attached ferro rod holder.

[@gideonstactical]

If you have those and a mora you will be set for life!

[@shamitoson]

The BK2 pretty much sucks at everything. Terrible at being a knife and actually cutting things, too short for splitting. Too heavy. Yeah, it sucks.

[@ernest9606]

Loved the nessenow i have the esse 3 and 6. Definitely my go to shtf knife

[@arctodussimus6198]

Mumma Bear loves her Longhorn Bowie. I prefer my Prather War Bowie. It’s my edc. But for a survival knife, my choice is the TOPS Armageddon. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@jonnyboat2]

I know you've already reviewed these knives in the past but you really should revisit these knives individually with new use reviews. You make the best videos. Period. Love that Elbrus.

[@gideonstactical]

Thanks so much and I just might do that

[@riledupblades2227]

Bought the Turok as my first real fixed blade based on your videos. Thanks for doing what you do man 👍

[@Khamae77]

I want ESEE 6 without that choil and with that sheet from Work Tuff Gear 🤩

[@frankdavidson644]

AMAZING TOOLS

[@mdog1615]

Hey man can we get some traditional Bowie knife comparison reviews ?!

[@gideonstactical]

I will try 👍

[@johncorrell6405]

Thanks for this.

[@8626John]

Ontario Rat series look like nice knives. On a budget? Hard to beat the Old Hickory 7 inch butcher knife.

[@D33Lux]

I bought a Rat 5 for $50 5+ years ago because it was a return in a store, so its considered used, but in like new condition. I've seriously beat that thing to hell and back because...it was 50 bucks. I was log splitting I thought "if it breaks so what" Solid knife! There's so many options out there, 1095 is tough steel for a budget knife. Prices have gone WAY up on everything though.

[@XyaHuTo]

N.C. Custom Forester PGK steel, or Ranger PGK steel.)

[@macmccartney5760]

Im a tops guy... But also love lionsteel fixed blades... That longhorn is sweet

[@skwildones]

- Deine Ehrlichkeit beim Testen ist super! So sollte es sein! 👏🔪

[@lucifero__]

I wouldn't mind the tops knives but they don't come with any warranty so they're far outside the picture for me. The last tops knife I got from them was the harpoon Hoffman xl

[@masterofnone1481]

How many times can you replace the Esee knives with the warranty?

[@toma1460]

Survive! GSO 5.1

[@shamitoson]

Leaps and bounds better than all of these put together!

[@dalian3903]

Thoughts on esee-5? I actually was just given one by an old man randomly and it’s to me an awesome out door knife

[@liamworthington5863]

NOICE!!!😮

[@Mr50403]

They look like Butchor Knives my great grandma had when i was a kid.

[@jermu515]

I have white river firecraft 3.5 pro and firecraft 5, really awesome knives. Life time warrant also. Good kydex sheats with ferro rods.

[@Legendary_Cheese_Wizard]

I personally went with the tops operator 7

[@brundagunda]

Bk7 is missing😊

[@gideonstactical]

Nope, too many mods needed to get it running the way I want it.

[@barrybueler3356]

Essee or lion steel for me tough decision would have to get some hrs in with the lion steel to make that decision 100%

[@chriskp]

How do you sharpen the last one?

[@gideonstactical]

Esee6 beats it out all day though

[@D33Lux]

@@gideonstactical What's the difference? I don't own an Esee knife, owned a Rat 5 for over 5 years and its been a great knife. Is the Esee knives worth purchasing? Thanks

[@steviesworld3727]

Suggestions on steel Better than 1095? I have 20+ blades thats 1095 and they chip a lot unfortunately.

[@D33Lux]

Ontario Rat 5 is 1095 and held up through alot of abuse. For good steel and good price D2 steel, its tool grade steel and tough, holds a good edge. VG-10 Japanese stainless, but good quality. Sandvik 14C28n good too. Depends what you use your knife, fixed blade or folder. For folder any of the above and AUS 8 for budget steel, AUS10 better quality than AUS 8. Morakniv knives are good carbon steel for an excellent price, but folder knives don't hold up for hard use over time. Hope this helps.

[@steviesworld3727]

@@D33Lux Thanks but I discovered CPM MagnaCut steel. An american in his garage created a new super steel during covid. its literally better than the older steels you mentioned. I appreciate you replying, ive been busy researching since I made my last question.

[@shamitoson]

Everything is better than 1095 in the modern market! For simple tool steal like 1095, A2 performs much better and is far more stain resistant.

[@Gary-yt8ee]

What about the Joker Nomad 6.5

[@gideonstactical]

[@Ruger44Redhawk]

What about the Ontario RD6, RD7 or RD9? Can't go wrong with 5160 and full flat grind.

[@gideonstactical]

Not for be blocky as heck and not enjoyable to use

[@Ruger44Redhawk]

@gideonstactical with the Knife Connection G10 scales, it's not bad. They are well rounded off and skinnier than the original ones. If you haven't tried them you should maybe revisit. They also make them for the RAT, Benchmade and Spyderco (as you probably know). I do like that Ka-bar Turoc.

[@D33Lux]

@@Ruger44Redhawk Thanks for the info, was looking to upgrade my Ontario RAT 5 handles. Cheers!

[@Ruger44Redhawk]

@D33Lux yes The Knife Connection makes some awesome upgraded G10 handles for Ontario, Benchmade and Spyderco.

[@andriutama3972]

How about Aitor brand ? Anyone has an experience with this brand ?

[@godsoldier169]

Where can I buy?

[@GodfreyFirstEldenLord]

Bro some of those are half a ps5 in price. Just buy 2 low budget once instead at this point

[@jhonrutger3508]

I like essee, especially with that warranty with a well established company it's very valuable and also check out architect knives.

[@makcatchem9614]

Oh come on now You couldn't get the Gerber Strongarm in this video

[@DanielRichardKiy]

Matthew 6:19-21 - You only need one knife, so one of these should do. Mark 10 - If you were down to just one knife in your collection, and God were to give you a dream where He told you to get rid of it, would you? Luke 6:24 - If you already have a decently sized knife collection, and God were to give you a dream where He told you to get rid of the whole lot, would you? John 14:1-4 - Going back to what you read in Matthew, if you want a cryogenically treated, 440C, Mirror Polished, engraved, Jay Fisher Paraeagle with black grips and no bolsters, that will never corrode or be stolen from you then all you have to do is ask God for one. For this to work you have to repent of your sins, and believe that all the horrible things you’ve ever done got dealt with by Jesus dying on the cross on your behalf. If you do this, even if God doesn’t give you a dream where He gives one then just know that whatever is waiting for you on the other side of eternity once you do these two things will be even better than the best knife that anybody on earth could possibly make. Stop trying to fill the God shaped hole in your heart with steel and G-10 because you can’t take any of that stuff with you when you die, so store up for yourselves Jay Fisher knives in heaven where you’ll get to keep them forever and ever. Get a knife that’s cheap enough that if someone steals it from you it wouldn’t sting too bad, but still good enough where you won’t need to keep on buying knives for at least a three year period. If you want the best knife that money can’t even buy then just read Matthew 10:34 and Hebrews 4:12, and then carry gospel tracts on you wherever you go. A backpack full of CSB New Testaments feels like walking around with the President’s nuclear football. It’s fun to be an evangelist, so let go of the things of this world, pick up your cross and follow Jesus. Happy hunting, Daniel Kiy

Damnn I am sorry truly. In my opinion I wouldn’t get any of these especially for survival.

[@ShahryarSaigol]

A cheap $12 mora 546 will out perform all of them.

[@jack41396]

No bro, not full tang and to small

[@ShahryarSaigol]

@@jack41396 Lightweight, easier to handle because of small size, full tang not needed with the solid moulded handle, stainless steel rustproof, easy to sharpen. Can be carried in boot or waist or as a neck knife. Extremely well balanced for throwing. Handle can be lashed securely for spear fishing. Hand guard for safety. You simply cannot get more bang for your buck.

[@jack41396]

@@ShahryarSaigol I agree with you, it would be good knife in a survival situation but it's not made for that.

[@D33Lux]

No way, Moraknivs are high carbon and can rust. I have a Ontario Rat 5 that I've used to split 6+ inch logs with to wood craft. I've mistreated that knife, its got marks on the back of the blade from hammer strikes. I will give that the Morakniv knives hold an incredible edge being carbon, but its not for hard use which I'm sure the knives in this vid can take a beating too.

[@ShahryarSaigol]

@@D33Lux That is why I recommend the 546 over the more common 511. 546 is the stainless steel version of the 511 Mora Craftline Basic.
