[@selfinflictedjoy]

I have absolutely no need for this knife!...mine should be arriving Friday😉

[@Daniel.Liddicoat]

Hope it makes a nice door-stop

[@scotthill6807]

That is one big chunk of 3V! Thanks for the look Chris.

[@joeyjoejoejr.shabadu8857]

This channel has good great reviews from what I've seen!

[@ktooley3864]

Stupendous looking knife. Keep up the great work Chris

[@rainbowhiker]

I used to watch around twenty reviewers/bushcrafter types, some of them your friends, but only watch you these days. Love your big-knife reviews and comments on whatevers. I slobbered all over myself watching this review. Haven't done that since the Honey Badger :o)

[@BOOSTEDLASER]

@PM101 You REALLY love that Wilson wrap Semper Fi Gunny

[@jeepnicc]

Nice knife Chris, congrats. Thanks for sharing!

[@REIronminer]

Beautiful work. Luv mine

[@joonies82]

Awesome knife, I absolutely love mine. I knew it was a big knife when I bought it, but once you get this beast in hand, you really feel the 3V weight and solidness. Bit worried about dropping it on my feet at times whilst swinging - it would prob go straight through boots

[@tedz.]

Great review. I have a JX6 Companion in Elmax set up as a necker and love it. And as you indicated in the video it is a perfect companion to this knife. I think the word(s) you were looking for is "financial interest". And I have no problem with a change in "best of" name designation. You can actually flip that to mean the other end of the spectrum. The Schrade Jess-X might feel right at home on that list.

[@widespreadpermic9967]

Got mine yesterday, and I can't wait to use it ;)

[@gregor6922]

Great job Gregor

[@ronaldrose7593]

Hello Chris, that is one awesome knife, great review. You have reviewed so many great knives, too many Choices. When it comes to batonning, the wood didn't stand a chance. It certainly does all the essential bushcraft chores. All the best to you. Keep up the great reviews. 🤗

[@atomicvomit8780]

Good review Chris

[@Roman-lu1xn]

No ricasso near the working edge, love that.

[@randallcramer6783]

Cheese Block! The funniest reviews! Cars are all about, putting in the key and turning the engine over so it starts and drives ya to work in the morning. Everything else is luxury. Knives and axes are the same. Good TV Wilson!!!

[@w5mav]

Good for the new season of “ALONE”.

[@John..18]

Great knife, thanks for letting us see this one,,

[@knifevideochannel4657]

Awesome blade......thanks for video

[@valoroustyrant8191]

Excellent video 👌 Love the Rants🤣🤣🤣🤣 P.S do I hear a GAW video with this knife! hahaha

[@dcslapout5697]

Now that is a great knife.

[@CraftyCleetus]

Yea I need one, glad I got a good job and a forgiving wife

[@popsbushcraft1962]

I've searched for years to find my knives to fit me. Now I have knives for different jobs like my Bushcraft knife is the Jessmuk , neck knife a scandi ground Patriot, This knife is my do all knife when I'm out, it is worth every penny I've had mine about a year cooked,carved, bushcrafted, clean fish and game both have not found a weak spot in this knifes useability and design although I'm 6'5" and have very large PAWs the handle could be alittle longer but with the finger school I make it work, also I'm disabled so this knife works twice as hard, thank you Bark River, I also have the bark river cub as a back up cause I couldn't get a dam dark timber grizzly made by Pete.tried for years had money in hand even got on the waiting list after Chris got his but never got a phone call even been friend with Pete face before his fame.now I can't afford one it's my white whale...but the Crusader in 3v is a great knife...peace

[@Clambelly]

Great video ! Love Bark River Knives. I have original Bravo.

[@robsteel4407]

A beast of a knife. 💪🏻

[@jeffmcgrath8718]

Yep I need one of these

[@mattterry128]

Looks like a bark river bk9 😮🤤

[@brianf9619]

Awesome Knife , worth every penny ....

[@michaelfroelichh9436]

This plus a jx6 . Match made in heaven

[@B-leafer]

I sharpened the swedge on my 3v crusader which makes a big difference with it's penetration, and gives it a true bowie back cut.

[@ChrisGilliamOffGrid]

Stunningly beautiful knife.

[@vegetakijohnson4792]

DAMN THAT'S A BEAUTY

[@ricosuave7102]

These bowies are for the enthusiasts and heavy users. You can get 4 Wild West cold steel bowies for the price of one of those. Of course the quality of bark river is far greater and they will last longer. The convex grind is king also.

[@strongbear9304]

Nice video Chris. several things- 1st what wrap do you use on your knife handles . 2nd If "Jessica listed" doesn't hold the same meaning for you anymore, how about "Tanner's A LIST" or something to that affect instead?

[@brianmccann666]

Awesome Blade. I have a 1st Run 3v Crusader. 100% a Jess Lister Blade imho.

[@molderman7109]

Now, that is a TOOL! Would also make a GREAT GIVEAWAY item! lol

[@spoke1183]

What a good looking knife.

[@timpike3856]

Hey Chris, Thinking of purchasing a Crusader or a Bravo Tope Recon. Do both of these knives have a Sharpened Spine ? From another Ohio Boy👍

[@johnrichardson6142]

Cool knife! Waitin on my JX5

[@darrelld2571]

Very nice indeed.

[@rwmagnus]

I’m not a big knife guy but this was a good review and a very nice design.

[@grantlee459]

sweet knife great video .

[@garenkinoguhyt7088]

Wow what a beast of a tool

[@mickbator6979]

Wilson wrap ftw!!! 👍👍👍👍

[@darkwaternorth2867]

Now that's a very nice knife.

[@georgieocasio1764]

awesome knife

[@greener12ga18]

Great vid When are you going to do a camping vid ?

[@alldaytony2751]

Need that in my life

[@alanmccoll6490]

I don't need it but if i had that with my benchmade pukko 200. Then i wouldn't actually need any other knife for probably the rest of my life. Though its a lot of money for me and i would still want more knives. However i am super impressed. I find not a lot of cheaper companies make blades that shape and size. They made the knife that's been in my brain my entire life.

[@southernstacker7315]

Liked and subbed. Surprised I wasnt already. Sweet knives. I need a big bowie type knife and will spend $300. But are there others just as good for less?

[@norwoodcraftandforge2950]

Honestly. Truely innovative wilderness goers while take advantage of all option possable. I carry a smaller MSK 2 kneck knife from TOPS, a customized Condor Hudson Bay Survival Knife, and my Gran Forks Bruks Small Forest Ax. Between these three blades I have every need of mine for primitive Bushcraft covered. I like them all. But I like to practice with a small ax and specialize with it. It's easy to build with naturally smelted iron. Therefore could produce a steel ax with primitive means ( or a tomahawk type hatchet at least ).

[@deathbyastonishment7930]

Hey mate, how did you customise your Hudson Bay?

[@guerrillaninja]

That's beautiful.

[@johnlhigh]

that thing is large and in charge!

[@jkukurugya]

Wow, to me that screams Rambo. I'm glad to see a leather sheath with it. $300? Well my birthday is coming up, might have to get one next time they're available.

[@brianmccann666]

Worth Every Cent

[@DShiflet01]

Looks nice, although I'll never own one, Bark River way outside my price range.

[@chrisguynes996]

How long does it take for dlt trading to deliver

[@AMRonin]

What's the meaning of the tattoo (the text)?

[@christopher_martin]

i own one and love it......i hate the sheath and how its so hard to snap closed, i know it will stretch a little over time and that you can wet and stretch it....but for the money, it should be good straight out of the box....i just cut that little extra flap off and its all good though!!!....just my rant and my opinion!!!

[@christianflores7583]

Should i buy this or a trailmaster san mai

[@azhomeboy2000]

Great option for EDC here in AZ.

[@larrylightle9108]

If i didnt already have the jx5 all tricked out with a yellow hawk sheath i would get that.

[@mrmagoo491]

How does it compare to Grizzly or Tope knife ?

[@dimi7055]

its awesome! i still prefer your jx5 :]

[@rayrau76]

Great video, I bought this last run and it’s actually the first Bark River I’ve purchased. To me the price is relative to what I need it for and didn’t even blink at the price. I’ve been extremely happy with the performance and quality of this tool, I’ll definitely be picking up a smaller Bark River for game processing. BTW I wrapped mine as soon as I pulled it out of the box, thanks for the tip.

[@dubasciver3234]

Ray Rau Is it wrapped in Wilson tennis wrap?

[@viseshseernam39]

you can never go wrong with brand but problem is price also it is true for quality goods you have to spend

[@dc1939]

Hear lots of bad stories regarding the Bark River warranty. Anyone have any input ?

[@paulmphoto]

Hard to be interested in that knife owning a JX5 have worn my JX5 on my hip for a hundred miles at least. BTW nice shirt buddy!

[@ksone369]

Big brother to the Legion...which you loved at first, then complained about the thickness of the tip. Is that going to happen again with the Crusader?

[@alexgarza2759]

It is beautiful

[@MrCN173]

Im thinking ill wait for the JX5👍🏻

[@dcslapout5697]

Nice

[@ravenbushcraftadventures]

Feel like the JSX would be a bit better at chopping but the crusader would be a better all around survival knife

[@paultorgerson8776]

Jack of several trades, master of none. I deliver pizza for a living and I own two Ontario sp53s and two Crusaders.

[@Enonymouse_]

The golok is nice too.

[@pstaehlin]

This video is hilarious to watch at 0.5 playback speed. Chris sounds like he's had WAY to much to drink before filming this.

[@somedude1590]

Thats a big blade . sheesh

[@TheGrayManOG]

I bought one of these today for under 50 bucks. Even if I don't like it, the price was right.

[@chrishinkle5982]

Should've named it Bark River "BAK" big ,ass, knife. Very nice though thanks for the videos

[@dc1939]

Nah, those types of acronyms are Busse's thing.

[@neilsneilson]

Need a better handle for that office edc impact.

[@jujybo100]

Am I crazy or is there a slight warp/divot/flat spot in the curve in the belly of this knife? I can't tell if it's maybe just the camera/trick of the light but it's bugging the bananas out of me. Please somebody reassure me...

[@The4cp]

Light

[@kennywilliams8324]

heck of a chopper

[@countryprepper4719]

Crocodile Dundee would approve.

[@jerrynemec930]

Love mine

[@The4cp]

Who doesn't love a big ass block of cheese? That's a hell of a knife.

[@joakimlager2477]

You really love blades Dog.. I wish you could show more Machetes?

[@ssunfish]

More machetes would be fun but sfter showing the best : Bravo machete in 1V how do you go back down?

[@mattiasagren3422]

If I see a bigass block of cheeas in the woods I'm pulling out becky that old girl can still do some good work

[@addisonesslinger3653]

Hate I didn't see you at Blade show.

[@timbo4374]

I want one of these bad, but I just don't have the money right now. Dammit man!

[@ryanmiller4890]

I don't need it. But I sure want it!

[@doctoordan]

Heck, if I win the lottery I’ll just buy them both.

[@Veesaki]

A knife guy would have to have the resolve of a Benedictine Monk not to run out and start chopping with it ! You are right this knife will out perform a 75.00 - 100.00 knife ; there comes a point where there is the law of deminishing returns. If you spend more let's say for this knife.

[@Walibnzas]

Make a "Tanner"list. You've earned it. 👍

[@brianmccann666]

Hells Yeah. TANNERS LIST to rule them all.

[@freisiandraugr2427]

The sheath is black because it's water resistant coating.

[@az-chris1136]

This knife is just a bit larger than the Bravo Survivor. I prefer the Survivor to the Crusader, plus, I've paired my Survivor with the JX5 (which I use for limbing and taking out small saplings). The Survivor does the bulk of batoning and alternates chopping duties with the JX5. T me, the Bravo Survivor is just a bit more nimble and is just sized better than the Crusader.

[@thebob6385]

I recently received my Bravo Survivor and I'm waiting for the campgrounds to open up so I can put it to use. For now, I absolutely love the craftsmanship and ergos and holding it makes me want to chop and slice up ALL the wood. ALL of it!

[@redrumdevil]

Try it on some pork shoulder like Cold Steel does...?

[@todzilla10]

Ha! Ha! You said cut the cheese. 😜

[@jhonrutger3508]

dude I'm still waiting on mine ordered it last year

[@preparedmind101]

You didn't order from that "optics" place did you?

[@jhonrutger3508]

@preparedmind101 I ordered the crusader from optics planet and the bravo 2 from dlt trading as a pre-order I haven't heard anything in over year.

[@waveman0]

I actually used this knife as a base and am having a custom made up (added 1/2" of blade length, changed up the choil a bit, still in 3V but at guaranteed HRC60, and made by an Australian knife maker, so better for me as an Aussie) going to be a beast as well I am thinking.

[@E.mp.clypeus]

If you have it, I’d love to see it if you’ve posted it somewhere

[@E.mp.clypeus]

Thanks. That’s an awesome blade! I’m jealous lol.

[@waveman0]

@@E.mp.clypeus thanks mate, been a long time coming and I am entirely happy with it, plus Mark did a fantastic job making it.

[@davidbeason3399]

I'm literally forced to choose between this and a crossbow for the price. I think I need a one tool option more then a sick around bow..... also what's going on with your cheeks shipmate? You try to dryshave with that pig sticker? Fair winds brother.
