BATTLBOX "Frontiersman" Survival Knife Has Some Goodies Hidden Inside Of It...

[@D33Lux]

The allen key should have been put at the bottom of the handle. gunk can get into the slot where the allen key goes.

[@danielmuscarella8239]

Should be slotted not Allen. You lose that tool or strip them your done. If slotted you can use a dime or something

[@KomenCents]

you can slot them. but you can't Allen slotted

[@c.s.johnson7691]

The knife relies in one Allen Wrench. Think that Slot Screws would have been a better choice in design. So the handle can be opened with a coin, or any other tool that fits the need.

[@cutlerylover]

I agree a simple alternative design...if you did lose the tool your screwed...

[@Ucceah]

the whole thing isnt exactly well thought out. it's a cool idea, but milling out more usable space would have made it far more useful.

[@NobodyWhatsoever]

You were definitely right there, Jeff: When I saw the diagrams, I thought those arrow heads would be similar to the thin sheet metal card-sized survival 'kits,' and be hardly usable. Those arrow heads would be quite stout in a makeshift arrow or atlatl type spear!

[@zebanon5]

Yeah, they'd be a lot more fitting for an atlatl. Very good thought. I would maybe have one like that, and make some much flatter ones for the other socket. You could maybe fit 4 in there without them being toooo thin.

[@youtubevoice1050]

On the contrary. These arrow heads are way too thick. Not only will you struggle getting them into a shaft, they aren't sharp on the sides either. Everyone who hunts with bows will tell you that you need sharp arrow heads, not just a sharp tip, or else they won't properly kill. And since they have no barbs these aren't good for fishing either.

[@MikeBaxterABC]

@@youtubevoice1050 I agree .. Actually harvesting game with a home made bow, and arrow, is almost impossible for someone who does not have a lot of experience ... just a waste of calories in an emergency situation ... I see those little arrow heads useful as a short spear to spike frogs or maybe fish in shallow water (spike them to the bottom and hold) ... while it MAY be possible to get a lucky hit on a stupid squirrel with home made arrow ... just searching to find one lost arrow, would use more calories than a squirrel has in it.

[@youtubevoice1050]

@Mike Baxter. Definitely. Though even for fishing in shallow water carving a fishing spear (splitting the tip of a staff into four spikes) would be better.

[@MikeBaxterABC]

@@youtubevoice1050 Good point (pun intended) :)

[@azraelf.6287]

I would epoxy the female side of the screws to the scale. Maybe even epoxy that entire scale to the blade. You only have one wrench, and that will prevent the screws from just spinning rather than loosening.

I'm surprised you didn't mention using paracord (or boot laces) to lash the entire knife (without scales) for use as a spear.

[@xxportalxx.]

That would've been neat

[@joepicone5136]

How much harder would it have been to just use flathead hardware?

[@Battlbox]

Most bushcrafters arent carrying flatheads or pocket change in todays world of debit/credit cards. The thought was....well why not include the tool instead of trying to find one? Genius

[@300winmag3]

[@randomchaos606]

You'd need a thick arrow shaft to accommodate that arrow head lol

[@KomenCents]

dude this is for pros. you shoruken the arrowhead into the head of a stick. fits just tigtt and perfectly

[@beardedarchery3576]

It's called giant Reed or some plant with pith core. Lots of species in different bioms that make great arrow stock will work with those tips. Some of your statements show y'all might need more time in the woods.

[@DEATHANDSADDNESS]

U forgot about the sheath...

[@StucklnAWell]

I think for this purpose it would have been better if it was a Paracord wrapped knife, possibly with thin scale liners to hold the heads in. Then the Paracord can be used with the arrowheads.

[@enzowarren9832]

I prefer hardware that has either Phillips head or flat head screws. I usually have my belt knife and a Leatherman or SAK, so if I need to take the scales off my belt knife I like to be able to use my multitool instead of having to carry a separate tool just for the purpose of removing scales. I switched out the hardware (and scales) on my BK2 so they now have Phillips head stainless screws instead of the stock carbon ones.

[@kurtschlarb9762]

I have always thought a survival knife should have some kind of miniature water purification gizmo. Fishing line, hooks, waterproof matches or a ferro rod, and a compass. Maybe a little weed too. A small toking pipe built into the handle?

[@blaynemacpherson8519]

I think I will stick to my good old Rambo knife thank you. I do like the shape of this knife.

Arrowheads? I thought they were spear heads for fishing. ...but yeah, makes perfect sense if you were bow hunting and ran out of arrows.

[@bigmikeg84]

@@johnchalleen3278 You could possibly use them for spear fishing but you would have to add reverse facing small wood spikes so the fish doesn't slide off. I think it's meant to be more of an emergency survival situation, small game or trap making.

[@Peenurpool]

Cool knife. Great review as always 👍. I would suggest that if you do drop some of the metal hardware, and don’t see them or they get covered by snow or leaves ect, that you could use the magnet or scale with magnet to maybe retrieve the metal hardware. Just an idea 😎. Thanks for the excellent review 👍

[@Stigstigster]

Hopefully you could get a lot of use out of them as long as they don't get lost. I'd rather have them heavy like this so they don't bend or break. They certainly look sharp and pointy enough to do the job.

[@youtubevoice1050]

No, they don't look sharp on the sides. Way too thick. Pointy is not enough to put down a deer.

[@Stigstigster]

@@youtubevoice1050 Baby deer?

[@youtubevoice1050]

@Stigstigster. Maybe, or a rabbit. But the other problem is, due to how thick theses arrow heads are, the shaft will probably flare out quite a bit and act as a stopper.

I like their attempt to cover a lot of areas with the knife. A agree w another person's idea of slot screws. I'd also want the bow drill divot to be somewhere outside the handle. A lot of bits ti lose.

[@pyrosmoak53]

I agree the divot would be better on the outside especially in an emergency scenario

[@Verfolnir]

They forgot to include the manual on how to build a bow & gut/sinew string with no tools other than that knife. Those arrowheads by themselves are worthless gimmicks. If you can build, string, tiller a bow, from scratch, in the wilderness, with just a knife and some scraping rocks.... You can probably already make suitable arrow heads. Even sharp edged wood arrow tips will work _once_. If you /need/ *those* arrow heads... your s it outta luck for the rest of your gear. Not to mention... If you're able to make a bow for hunting... You're able enough to walk out in the same period of time.

[@AdamWhistle1]

I agree completely, these are nothing but gimmicks. Putting in firesteels, whistle (for signalling for help) or similar small but very useful things would have been more useful. You need firesteel more than an arrowhead. And making more hollow space to put in small stuff like that would have been smarter. But then again, you never need JUST the knife, you want a small bag that also includes stuff like tarp, canteen, waterfilter, compass, etc.

[@pyrosmoak53]

Pretty kool design I kinda want one. I think the lack of fishing line is bc they probably figure you would have paracord on you. Personally I think the so called vault should be a bit bigger and be on the other handle scale. Also as said by others, why not ditch the allan and go with slotted screws so you can use a coin or something similar? I'd be pretty pissed if I managed to lose the allan and sound up needed the items inside

[@virgil291]

The Allen key is the weak point of this knife, needs slots instead. The magnet 'holding it?' Is a poor choice too, it Should be a friction fit. One hard stab into a hard object and that Allen key is out. Shame it looks like a good knife.

You can always tell when a knife isn’t built by a guy that hunts or camps. First rule is you always lose what you think you need most. Interesting design but I’d change the screws because even with magnet that Alan wrench will be lost.

Interesting design. Not digging the allen head screws tho. Also, the arrow heads are way way to thick. Half their thickness would be a lot more usable. Arrow heads are also fairly impractical. Fishing line would be ten times more effective. Not like someone needs to craft an arrow to hunt boars or something, for most animals a sharpend stick will do, for birds a blunt arrow is way more effective then a sharp arrow.

I'll pass. If I needed/wanted to carry stuff in the handle of my knife (which I don't) I'd get a knife with a hollow handle that I didn't need a tool to open. Heck, even the Bud K and United Cutlery hollow handle knives come with a better selection of practical "emergency/survival" items than that thing does. As-is, the only useable thing it comes with is a tiny little bit of tinder. (what good are the hooks without fishing line?) Thanks, but I'll continue to carry my emergency gear in either a backpack, a fannypack, or a possibles bag. Those "arrowheads" look pretty useless to me. They have what? A 0.5 inch cutting diameter and are near 0.25 inch thick? They won't penetrate very well using any bow you make out in the boonies (if you even know how to make a self bow and some arrows, and have the tools and proper materials available to make them.) Come to that, unless you know how to aim and shoot a barebow (a bow with no sights) you ain't going to hit what you be shooting at when first starting out, anyway. If you do, why not just put a take-down bow and a half dozen arrows with field points for small game (not like you'll be shooting a deer or larger) in your pack?

[@nerdtvch5]

I like the ideas of being able to carry less and have more, but ultimately, can you make a bow in the bush? Like, humans when it comes to survival in the woods think of ourselves as this great hunter gather alpha species. Like, I wouldn't waste my little resources on making a bow, arrows, or an arrow tipped spear unless I really had to for like, wolves, coyotes, bears, bobcats, angry elk or something. And even then my knife would be a far quicker and safer choice than some hastily made tool. The hooks are useful, if you're near water that actually has fish in it, but if that's the case, I'm sure your bug out gear has a fishing pole and tackle box. I dunno, which is more useful, the generic hilt kits that include some matches, a button compass, a striker, and some thread? or some arrowheads and some hooks with no line? Then again, if you buy this knife, I'm sure you're trading the fishing pole for a bow and arrows already.

[@DirkDaJerk]

You could probably use the eyelet on the handle to make a lanyard from some 65lb test braided fishing line. Not only will you have as much fishing line as you want, it will also be strong enough to affix your arrow heads to your homemade shaft. You'd have to check the size of the eyelets on the hooks, but even if 65lb braided line is too big you can go with something a little lighter. As long as you stay with braided line, it should work well with the arrow heads also
