BATTLBOX MISSION 23 BREAKDOWN Blade Care & Maintenace

[@laurelhall7984]

My box is waiting for me at the post office. I'm on vacation so I won't get it until I get back. Every box has something that I have used and put in my bug out bag. I read some of the comments. You can't please everyone. But this is the only company that I spend my money on for survival stuff. Never been disappointed. And everything is high quality and the cost is very reasonable. Keep up the wonderful job.

[@CURRIN1776]

Thanks BC

[@robinbuote2150]

Happy dancing over here!!!!! Love this mission

[@sollavers6856]

ive used the sentry products for years. both the cleaning cloth and the lubricating pen. cloth is able to be reused when it goes dry by simply adding more mineral spirits. it does a great job giving my carbon blades a rust proof barrier. the rest of the box is great also. strop will work better with some buffing compound, but will do a decent job as is.

[@TheCode-X]

Love the CRKT field knife!!!

[@majorleaguinfidel]

Brandon This box was necessary and you guys did a great job at putting together a well rounded box. I'm surprised to see so many complaints. I've read a few people don't like the storage/carry case for the knives but I personally think its great. some people see it as just a place to put the knives they've received from Battlbox but I have quite the extensive collection in general and like to switch up my EDC. In the past I've dumped my EDC on the counter,in the key bowl, purse,car or wherever and I've misplaced and even had good knives stolen that way. I'd rather have a place to keep them all organized so I really don't see that as a waste at all. Do I have some of these products already? Yes, but I also have more than one pack and I can throw any of these in a possibles pouch or small molly bag and add them to one of my packs and not have to worry about losing gear and having to replace good gear. Just wanted to add some positive feedback. As always, thank you for the time you put in to making these breakdown videos for us and Thank you to EVERYONE over at Team Battlbox for all their hard work. Regards Echo Juliette

[@CURRIN1776]

Thanks so much for the support and for watching my vids.... I look at it like this. Unfortunately everyone cannot be happy. We all have opinions. Whether I or anyone else views an opinion good or bad bottom line is it is an opinion. Many people cannot appreciate all the work that goes into a business such as this and that is OK. It is truly a machine that most people couldn't understand. All I can say is as now an employee..... I see the work and I'm part of it. The Boss puts in countless hours developing the missions and all the rest of us spend countless hours making it happen. So........ I appreciate what you typed above as do all the rest of us... Secondly. I think this is a great box. Sometimes the necessary things don't seem much fun to people... Blade care and maintenance is a necessary thing. Most people don't do it or do it incorrectly. Just like maintaining other things in life. Typically it doesn't get done or done correctly..... Perhaps outside of a person who is hardcore in blade care already.... maybe the people that are not happy are the ones that never truly use their knives....... if you never use it then I reckon it will never get to the point of maintaining...... I for one beat the crap out of my knives.....If someone never maintains their blades then now they have the tools to start..... Or maybe they are lazy... Bottom line is this. Hands down there isn't another Sub Box out there in this genre that can touch BattlBox and that is a fact... Even the ones who maybe unhappy know that.. We have some frigg'n amazing boxes coming this year and it is going to be YEEHAW! I promise ya.... Thanks for watching and for the support once again BC

[@majorleaguinfidel]

CURRIN1776 I don't think you could have put it better. At least there's nothing I could add to that statement and I wholeheartedly agree with you. I love your videos and I love BattlBox, no surprise there. I always show my support and I'm always quick to defend. I still watch unboxing videos of the other boxes on the market and sometimes I yell at my screen and other times I laugh just listening to people trying to convince their subscribers that a polished turd is anything other than a polished turd 😂 Nothing comes close to what you guys put out there but there will always be critics. Not only was this box necessary but I had a feeling it was in the works. I definitely know what you guys were trying to achieve with this box and I think the reason some people didn't get it is because they're what I consider "novelty preppers" The type of person who wants the latest, coolest gear but they don't use it or are afraid to get the gear or themselves dirty. Of course that doesn't apply to everyone, I've met some pretty awesome people through the BattlBox community but anyone who doesn't like M23 probably wears fancier panties than me lol. 😂 I'm really looking forward to seeing what this year has in store from you guys. EJ

[@toddtaylor3998]

I'm probably what most would consider a "novelty prepper" and I love this box. I guess some people are just persnickety!

[@majorleaguinfidel]

Todd Taylor "PERSNICKETY"? That's a new word for me but I dig it lol can you use it in a sentence so I can use it in its proper form 👌

[@toddtaylor3998]

per·snick·et·y pərˈsnikədē/ adjectiveNORTH AMERICANinformal placing too much emphasis on trivial or minor details; fussy. "persnickety gardeners" requiring a particularly precise or careful approach. adjective: pernickety "it's hard to find a film more persnickety and difficult to use than black-and-white infrared" I didn't even make it up, like my teenage kids make up words!!

[@chrisfahnestock]

This is hands down my fav box! Total blade maintenance

[@RetroSnaccDaekin]

I love watching these videos! Can't wait to get this box in the mail! It's like Christmas in every month!

[@ChiefinGuam]

Looking forward to receiving this one in the mail. Thanks!

[@charliecicero577]

not only do I have most of the knives from Battlbox but I'm a chef too .......so I have a ridiculous collection of knives .....and for fun I collect antique cleavers .....thanks for a great box again

[@gijeepguy]

Great idea for this box and regardless of the comments on the contents I feel it is well designed. True, a whetstone would be appropriate for a "knife maintenance" box, however there are two separate sharpening systems included along with polishing cloths, oils and a strap. Even the carry case which, while not something I would care for is a good addition and I am sure some subscribers will put to use. My only criticism of this box is the knife. Not sure of the issue is with the knife in my box or if other Pro-Plus members have observed the same issue. The blade, when extended rattles and is not firmly seated in the handle. I attempted to disassemble and reassemble but the problem persists. I'm hoping this is a defect in my knife alone as CRKT normally produces quality blades. Finally, I'm glad to see Brandon pointed out the value of the coupons included in the monthly boxes. I've already made god use of several and will continue to do so in the future. Great job Brandon and BattlBox!

[@germx1488]

another good one Mr. Currin excited for this one .....the editing is getting good for sure. Happy New year! Currin and everyone at Battlbox

[@44ronie]

M23 is a Monster Box, just what this housewife asked for. I love the fact that BattlBox not only give us awesome items but follows up by showing us how to use these things....I love my BattlBox Pro Plus.....

[@CURRIN1776]

Thanks so much for watching BC

[@nathanmorgan9111]

great box as always, and I've liked that knife for a while! A honing stone would have been a nice add in the box. great work.

[@CURRIN1776]

Nathan Morgan a great whetstone was in last months box. Thanks for watching

[@nathanmorgan9111]

CURRIN1776 man that's right my bad! Lol!!

[@ACountryWayOfLife]

Nice box, cant wait to get mine, my knife collection has needed some quality maintenance tools. Great job Battlbox!

[@bigdice6970]

Great video. I can't wait for my box to show up. I have an old school Old Timers knife I need to show some love to. And definitely this box will help a lot. Thanks again for the video. Looking forward to seeing the next one.

[@Ducati11111]

Man this is perfect!!! Exactly what i needed and I'm about to use those coupons sir!

[@VanillaGorilla502]

This might be the first box I sell. I'm already good on sharpeners. I was hoping for an EDC box/wallet as many of us thought was going to be in the Mission 23 due to the wallet mention on the site earlier.

[@joemiller6319]

I think it's a awesome box this month, good gear to take care of my gear... good video as always!!!

[@robertedwards741]

40% is a hella lot for CRKT! Nicely done brother

[@laurelhall7984]

With all the knives that I have received with my subscription and the knives that I already own (some from Top Knives) I find this months box a great addition. From reading some of the negative comments, I get the impression that some of the people were disappointed because this didn't appear to be a "survival" box. Well, I for one and pleased with the items. One of the most important items in a survival kit is a knife. Care of the knife could mean surviving or not. Keep up of the good work. Oh and I carry at least one item from most of the boxes I have received with me when I travel.

[@darrishowe992]

Just an out of the box thought, you could use the Knife holding case for different things. 1 idea maybe an awesome first aid kit. possibilities are endless.

[@disturbedpatient425]

Just subscribed, growing up in rural Louisiana and an outdoor enthusiast, really good vids, good job

[@chaosncheckt9356]

Nice box, got the email mine is in the mail. The gear looks great and as always the best part is Currin1776's review. As one viewer commented and I agree, that is a cool desk.

[@CURRIN1776]

Thanks... Its a pretty cool desk. I'll have to do a vid showing the legs. That is the really cool part....

[@jsmitty2047]

good way to keep dem knives from every box sharp! damn I gotta subscribe already!

[@MegaGlockster]

Awesome!! Have been waiting for this box!

[@markfadden4058]

Good Vid Currin. Great box BB!

[@lachellemills4171]

my fianca got me hooked on battlebox i use it for myself not just for men its also for women i try to contact battlebx and leave them a message i have to go to facebook just to contact them i love the battleboxes and i love your videos they are funny not just for men anymore women love them too as im such i order them for myself they are great stuff

[@CURRIN1776]

Thanks for watching....

[@majorleaguinfidel]

Lachelle Mills BattlBox has a very large female subscriber base but I love their marketing slogan and I actually think it helps draw in more women using reverse psychology. I think it's genius! Plus they aren't being serious they're being silly, they show the women of BattlBox plenty of love. I'm a pro+ member

[@judoka227]

Just an FYI, that CRKT is WICKED sharp right out of the box. It LITERALLY popped the hairs on my arm. First knife I've had that was this sharp.

[@CURRIN1776]

It is a great knife BC

[@georgesharrard304]

great review. can't wait for the mail

[@dubnky406]

Nice desk. thanks for the vid.

[@outcomeagent]

not going to lie i have been a member since the beginning. i love most of the boxes some were things I'm not into but you can't be 100 percent all the time. but this box is disappointing. like if yhis is the box i would have loved to see a big badass wet stone or a second knife like the smith's world legal knife or a smith's puck. like i can say this one is a bit of a miss. i hope the next year 3 welcome box is badass

[@CURRIN1776]

There was a great whetstone in last months box Thanks for watching BC

[@xDarthRio]

I agree, this box was a huge letdown.

[@xDarthRio]

JakeMusic24 You had to edit that? How? It still reads like it was written by a four year old.

[@DoomOfConviction]

You can cut a few times over the edge of a cutting board to get the micro bevel away that occurs after sharpening, but stropping is still the way to go.

[@radioguy262]

Hi CURRIN1776 and Battlbox, Just a heads up, the word, "maintenance," is misspelled in this video's title. Hoping this little catch gets me a free box one month. Just a thought. Love what you guys do. Keep up the good work.

[@alchemistU235]

Heck Yeah! I almost bought that knife.

[@robertlazar2511]

can't wait to get mine glad I get the pro box

[@danbeardenbodyshop3971]

Currin1776 sent me to this channel. Thanks

[@tuckerbudd8008]

Great Breakdown love it!!!!!!

[@justadadhiscrew2880]

Great video!

[@davidsohlstrom6977]

I hope the DVD in this box is better than the book we got last month.

[@huntercattaneo7134]

You guys should do a first aid box sometime. Include tourniquets and hemostatic agents and chest seals and all that good stuff

[@cyphersuit1]

excuse my ignorance but is there some way to buy single boxes internationally? this one is fantastic.

[@marklong4486]

this box has great potential .

[@CrabSt3r]

Kind of a disappointment... I feel the pro box does come with nice things but not always worth the extra price... Don't get me wrong I would like that sharpener but I don't feel I need to spend an extra 50 to get it. I mean I'll use it but I only have really two knifes from battlebox worth taking care off and one has interchangeable blades haha. This would be a nice kit if you spend 150 a month on but half this stuff I will never use including the bag....and I'm sure many others will feel the same.

[@VanillaGorilla502]

CRABST3R ! Same here. Might sell this box.

[@garylockett9723]

Wish it would ship to the UK, I have to get a shipping company to send me my box and it always comes 10 days later than everyone else

[@carlosaraujo9580]

When need Battlbox in Europe! Currin1776, talk to anyone who is in charge to open the distribution in Europe to Europe. Import is not an option because all the limitations of customs. Otherwise we, in Europe, will maintain the status of 'observers'. Not buyers. Very good presentations, nice products and 500 million potential clients. Work for it. Tks.

[@carlosaraujo9580]

We need BB in Europe. (Sorry!)

[@CURRIN1776]

If we could make it happen we would.. Thanks so much for watching.... BC

[@jonathanmartin1955]

awesome!

[@DanA-ow8il]

Maintenance.... spelling counts ;-) Great box guys!

[@_depRaven]

i kinda wish he went more over he specs of that knife. like blade steel, handle material etc.

[@StayFrosty0916]

Great box wish I got the pro plus now though. That's what I get for being cheap. Lol

[@CrabSt3r]

DMoody L1775 Yeah that was a nice blade.. I might look it up still.

[@bhaverly]

sweet box.thx

[@Sparknado15]

I love the box. Just curious what the Velcro strap with the strop is for?

[@karlfrizzell123]

In tha nicee 😂 love this channel !

[@austinlangford1670]

I'm not going to lie. I'm not feeling this box.

[@dakodarobinson2214]

What is the brand of watch that you wear? I just gotta know. Thanks in advance and love the videos.

[@CURRIN1776]

Rider by Rockwell The Coloseum

[@dakodarobinson2214]

CURRIN1776 Thank you very much!

[@dennysulzle1070]

With the strop is stropping compound required

[@CURRIN1776]

Not required however it does improve the result and life of the strop Thanks for watching BC

[@jacoblancour4268]

If I join this year then I should get this one right? That's how it's done right? The first box of the year is that years welcome box

[@papa.schelly5924]

I got a pocket pal I like em

[@oregongrownoutdoors9295]

As always a home run.

[@joe_joe_j035]

How do I use the ready man membership. I revive the ProPlus every month.

[@garynolen1677]

do u know were I could buy one of those sharpeners since I don't have membership to battlbox

[@TheEMTDad]

Is it too late for me to upgrade my box from basic too advanced to get this box?

[@RetroSnaccDaekin]

I am pretty sure these are already shipping/shipped. But you can always order an additional upgraded box. :)

[@jonathanwestin4499]

So does this make it the new welcome box? Like last year or is it the same

[@EdwardFeenman]

now I'm bummed. I've been meaning to get a sub, kept putting it off, never overly impressed with the box, yeah they are cool, but not holy shit. this one is holy shit....

[@rev22013]

I'm a little surprised they didn't put in some polishing compound to put on the strop

[@cyphersuit1]

rev22013 its in there

[@austinlangford1670]

When are you going to post mission 24? I can't wait any longer @Battlebox

[@Battlbox]

Austin Langford its up now

[@austinlangford1670]

Thought you forgot about us man.

[@j.higgins5408]

MERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@keshlalish5586]

imho, the dvd and that case are going to be pretty much useless, youtube make learning skills easy and free, also this case may be good for the knife hoarder BUT it's useless for the single kife kind of guy. however im happy i got this box anyway, i was looking forward to buying sharpening stuff lattely, also im happy i upgraded for that sharpener

[@CM-dp5mw]

The worst part about this box is that I wasn’t a member then !

[@bugoutbuds8744]

Is the next one the new welcome box?

[@StayFrosty0916]

Are you going to be doing any giveaways with Battlbox anymore?

[@cmani-cm5hz]

How does box 23 get reviewed before it shipped to me? #notmybox

[@majorleaguinfidel]

Chad Maniekee. Brandon usually posts a breakdown video of the contents of the box on the BattlBox KZbin channel around the same time the boxes get shipped out. Some people start to receive their boxes 24-48 hours from the time they post the video. If you don't want to know what's in the box skip the video until your box shows up. Some people want the video and some people don't. They put the video up for the people who really want to know what's in the box. I hope you enjoy Mission 23. There are a lot of really great things in there

[@chrismarkowski2703]

Have they shipped out yet? I haven't gotten any alerts yet

[@brantleytinnin6258]

Chris Markowski I got my alert Tuesday

[@kylestockland2666]

Chris Markowski I haven't gotten my alert either...starting to wonder if I will have to expect a delay like last month.

[@Battlbox]

it will be the same

[@iranicus]

Dam shame there's nothing like this in the UK, all the subscription boxes over here are either food or clothing based :/

[@O5c4rM1k3]

How does the ready man renewal work?

[@Battlbox]

if you got your code, then it is still active as long as you are a current BB customer

[@allenstephens3088]

I hate to say this is my 2nd box, and for what i see here . what a waste of money .

[@cyphersuit1]

MADMAN Stephens how much was this box with sharpener and knife? (both are great)

[@DIERCKSEN22]

does any body know the contact info for battle box?

[@denjeansan]

i live in belgium and i can't get it :-( :-( :-( i have been watching this since the first box came out and every month iam freaking jealous

[@CURRIN1776]

Thanks for watching BC

[@215ILLicit]

NOOOOOOO! Anyone else say that when he used the smiths? NEVER use that on your knife!(rod part's fine)

[@Romenite]

Thank god i cancelled my membership last month , oil and cloths (junk) a descent sharpen system and a crkt knife for a 150.00 dollars . JUNK . The last couple moths before this was a bunch of made in Japan stuff !! Save your money

[@xDarthRio]

This box was a huge letdown, I really hope next month makes up for it.

[@CAW8591]

So is this the new welcome box for new members

[@Battlbox]

Geared.Up. To.Survive. no.

[@CAW8591]

Is it still the Bushcraft box from 2016? What is the new member box just so I know what to expect when I sign up

[@sollavers6856]

the welcome box would be the mission 13 box

[@robertlazar2511]

Plus that is

[@CessBee123]

London's depressing everyday

[@MRcox78987]

1st

[@bryceleonardo3442]

Is it to late to sign up and get this box?

[@jaredfuller3795]

Bryce Leonardo even if you signed up you wouldn't even get this box because you would get mission 1.2

[@bryceleonardo3442]

Jared Fuller what is that?

[@oregongrownoutdoors9295]

Bryce Leonardo Mission 13 is the box you get first it is the intro box. What ever level you sign up for you get Mission 13 as first box. Once you join you can buy Mission 23 at 149.99 price from store while supplies last. Hope that helps

[@Battlbox]

you can go to the shop soon and buy this after you become a subscriber and get the welcome box (mission 1.2 aka watch mission 13 video)

[@RetroSnaccDaekin]

If you signed up today you would get the intro box which I think is Mission 13 if you go looking on the FAQ. But you can order it as an additional box and it will ship pretty quick. I have a ordered additional boxes and they come with in about a week.

[@nerfclub9637]

hi

[@xDEMONIZEDx]

Wrong side on that strop. Need to flip that puppy over.

[@anewman2524]

People are being banned left and right on the forum. And all for voicing there opinion. Looks like it's time for me to leave battlebox. what a shame, I'm sure I'll find something to spend the $150 on.

[@kurt8655]

Hope no one uses a pull through on their knifes

[@sollavers6856]

only use one to establish a workable bevel. like on a knive that is dull as rebar

[@bucki58]

My boyfriend and I get battlebox because we are trying to become more manly. As a gay couple we get a lot of shit about being pansies. Not true when I pull out my tactical knife! Just cause I enjoying making love to another man doesn't make me a wimp with battlebox!!

[@ericwillis5292]

the box was absolutely awful, the knife alone was complete garbage.

[@embaradosmithingandwoodcraft]

it is my contention ALL BOX SERVICES ARE WAY OVER RATED

[@kevinschmith9379]

Hey, we’re men were pros at everything and don’t tell women anything different

[@boobbyjz]

What a complete and absolute let down this box was! Very disappointed in you guys!

[@cyphersuit1]

Bobby Zuniga very convincing argument.. ..NOT

[@boobbyjz]

cyphersuit1 Do you understand the difference between a statement and an argument?

[@cyphersuit1]

Bobby Zuniga i am not a native speaker. but i think a statement without anything to back it up is rather weak.

[@boobbyjz]

cyphersuit1 I didn't know I wasn't allowed to have an opinion unless I typed up a formal defense for it. How's this for a summary? It came with a knife sharpener half as good as the one I already have and only paid $80 for. It also came with some rags, a little bit of oil and a knife they claimed was worth $150 but I can get many places for $75. If that's not enough for you, tough shit.

[@cyphersuit1]

Bobby Zuniga thats a good answer, i have to admit i do not know the price of the battlebox. thanks for the explanation!
