Very glad to see Spanish knives reviews in other countries like yours, cause we really try to do a nice job with them. Thank you for apreciate those

[@arianatataru2051]

Amazing knives, all Spanish ones that I have, Nieto, Muela and my favourites, Joker! I have plenty of joker knives but my absolute favourite is now the Lynx...did not expect to like it that much, but I've got it like 1 month ago and it was with me everywhere...from the kitchen to the country side! Amazing!

[@tstanfield55]

Been watching this channel for years, great reviews and high quality videos!

[@Sheltowee1775]

I love it when you do these end of the year vids. You are one of the only reviewers I really trust. Have a wonderful Christmas.

[@gideonstactical]

Thank you so much

[@brokefisherman4557]

@@gideonstactical could review the bench made saddle mountain skinner. I know it is a skinning knife but I would like to see how it does as a survival knife.

[@asianbro51]

Watch Dutch bushcraft knifes

[@Hankhillismrbig]

@@brokefisherman4557 Howdy, partner. Old comment, but I figured I’d try to help out in case you were still interested in the Saddle Mountain Skinner. It’s a solid piece, especially for skinning and food preparation, but the the reason I wouldn’t recommend it for “survival” would be because of the handle. It’s a thin boy. Good for skinning grips and such, but isn’t all that comfortable for extended carving and stuff. There’s a sort of jimping on the entire spine of the handle that makes it even more uncomfortable for hammer grip cuts. I honestly can’t recommend it unless you’re looking for a pure hunting knife. On top of all that, the new models are pushing $200, maybe even more nowadays, and there’s just a lot of better knives for “survival” and just general outdoor tasks in that price range. I was lucky enough to catch one of the old models on discontinued sale for $90. Another reason may be the thickness of the blade itself. I don’t know how you treat your knives, but if you’re really hard on them, I think it’ll be too thin for your liking.

[@troymanning3150]

Thanks Aaron! Love this time of year to see all the best of videos. Lots of great stuff I had forgotten about. Thanks for all the great videos this year. God bless you and your family!

[@annabarone9956]

Great video! The use and dubbing of the knives, coupled with on-site comments, made me like the product you introduced very much, I have already ordered one, thank you!

[@markoda2120]

I've been following you for a while now. I appreciate your honest unbiased reviews. Thank you. Have a happy and safe holiday season.

[@jonathanedwards2983]

I look forward to this video every year. Thanks.

Mr. Gideon, thank you for one hell of a great tutorial!

[@mattadler4710]

Such a great job on this man. You really brought some different and exciting options to the table this year. Just proves that your channel is irreplaceable.

[@shouldhavenotshouldof2031]

As always, a good professional video. Perfect for my gear junkie fix. Keep up the good work bro. Much appreciated.

[@bRad-ns6iy]

I love my BK 18! It's my favorite fixed blade I picked up this year! I will be wearing it today when I head out for a trip to cut down a Christmas tree! Thank you for all the great video's, keeping us entertained through 2020!

[@gideonstactical]

Nice!!!!

[@johnvarde1273]

Great Vid . I knew the Principal was going to be there ! Keep up the good work and Merry Christmas!

[@dumaflotchy13]

Aaron/Gideons is one of the best outdoor/survival gear review videos I've seen.

[@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors]

Work Tuff Gear is one of my new favorite companies. I have the Tayal and mini Tayal. I believe the Mountain Bushman is my 3rd one. LOVE THEIR STUFF!!

[@gideonstactical]

agree they are doing awesome stuff

[@steeltrident]

Great video as usual. You’ve got some great help with your batoning. Thanks for the work you do.

[@Ant24RAD]

I know it wasn't new this year but I finally picked up a terävä jääkäripuukko. This thing is incredible and definitely not talked about enough.

[@joeframo3347]

You have one of the best videos out here on KZbin explaining in detail very nice knives thank you for sharing I subscribed to your channel

[@ALLDAYEVERYDAYKIM]

This channel is great love how you do the vids out in the field

[@ApostolicITTech]

great video!! always looking for these at the end of each year!!

[@steellovingyou8673]

Hi Aaron . Great video , always a pleasure. Thanks

[@SJ-vc2tz]

Still very happy with the ESEE-6 I bought after your recommendation a couple years ago. Even though it's quite heavy to bring on a mountain hike I've been happy to have done so every time. Simply a great product! Keep on keeping on :)

[@helsindemisquisfolson1461]

I'm about to buy it myself too

[@alexanderbertallo1995]

Sweet list... Much love from Switzerland

[@nico03456]

Got my buck Gck last month, absolutely love it. Very versatile sheath and the knife is everything I wanted. Can’t go wrong with it!

[@michiganprotection]

I'm a knife maker and collector anf you made an awesome video. Great finds brother! I want them all!

[@ottergt]

Looking forward to the Best Folders video!

[@thatfellowthere3634]

Aaron, thanks for keeping me missing CO, hope to move back someday...the mountains are calling!!

[@stephaniefinn154]

Your video is sooo crystal clear!!!

[@HarveySpectre415]

I'm most excited about the ESEE 6 with the new handles. I'll be buying one by year's end. Absolutely love the company too.

[@phillipnunya6793]

Good to see a "best of YEAR" video that was actually made at the end of the year.

[@southernyert7597]

Grt video. Luv the end of the year best knives. Thx

[@Kevin-em7jn]

Dude I love the episodes even year's later. I am recently thinking of getting the GCK tanto version in Grey cerakote with g-10 but am a little worried about rust corrosion with the 5160 steel. Beautiful blade for sure!

[@iansanderson2838]

Love these videos

[@Cpc333]

As always Aaron great job brother. Great pics. Love these videos. Thanks man. Happy holidays to you and yours brother have fun out there and stay safe

[@gideonstactical]

I appreciate it!

[@tuinarchitect.]

Have you tried the fremont knives farson hatchet, I've been very impressed with the performance. Maybe something you want to check out.

[@quinntheeskimooutdoors6234]

Good display of various knives. Thanks and take care.

[@kouzman]

Awesome video and great selection. I ll just say that I am adding two of them to the collection! Lol!

[@zororosario]

Awesome review of some really useful knifes. Keep on going!Thanks & Cheers!😊

[@andresamorochor3378]

Nice video 👍🏼 I like the joker, there is a Green micarta handle that looks awesome.

[@ridehi8083]

great video!!! im a fan of fixed blades, but your video makes me want to buy more. I have the Gerber LMF ll. I really like the blade.

[@kaizen5023]

You're a great reviewer! Thank you!

[@jimmyc7803]

very nice cross section of blades for all budgets. love it.

[@giedriustimbaras9780]

Thank You for the professional video ! Best wishes from Lithuania.

[@Libelya]

Very nice video! Helpful

[@majoroverkill1376]

I really like the BK 18! It's on the list! Gerber was great back in the 80's but not sure I could trust them again. The ESEE Junglas Is my next fixed blade knife. Green coating with the orange scales. Great video as always GT, thanks!

[@jasonjones8209]

Just purchased the buck gck... And I absolutely love it.. I bought the tanto version.. probably the nicest handle I've ever felt on a knife

[@adriandeshazo7291]

Love the cutlery you showed especially the bk 18. P.s. your pup stole one of your wood props

[@ScentitarFragrance]

Loved this video !

[@hostilemgtow603]

This was an excellent video gideons tactical 📷🎖🏆.

[@Jenjo21701]

The field buddy had been my new favorite knife. Love my esee 6 but I tend to grab the field buddy first. The esee was upgraded with the knife connections scales and sheath too.

[@HataAlla]

Never owned an US made knife, thanks to you I have a TOPS knifes Brakimo... haven’t let me down so far, love it! But since I live in Sweden I won’t be replacing my Gränsfors Bruk axe with any US made axe any time soon😉 Thank you for another great video👍🙌

[@polgarpeter1735]

Nice collection!! I have a question for you. I want to buy a good Cold Steel folder (maybe the last time) and I can get the cts-xhp and the aus10a version of the voyager clip point for the same prize. Which one sould I choose if I want a tough unbeatable knife?

[@esgarcia1985]

Love this! I am doing some hiking this weekend and been forever since i upgraded my knife. If i have $75-100 to spend..whats best bang for your buck?

[@clitaiulian4497]

Hi there. Loved your presentation. I'm planning on buying the Rokka knife but have no idea how to sharpen a rhombic scandi. Have you had the chance to sharpen it until now? I would love some piece of advice. Thanks a lot. Safe journeys ahead.

[@jamieofalltrades536]

Still rocking my Morakniv Companion in carbon steel and it is tough as nails and stays sharp as a razor. I added petina to mine to help preserve the carbon blade and protect it from rusting by soaking it in mustard and it looks amazing! I think I paid like $20.00 for it about 3 years ago and it is a excellent, very durable, budget friendly choice that gets the job done every time!

[@EdwinPipesCigars]

Great video thanks for sharing .... got a new ESSE 6 with brown handle now thanks to you! lol

[@nomadefreedom6943]

Hello from a friend from France! very nice collection of fixed blade knives! thank you for your sharing friend

[@samuelsherman5513]

I've been looking at the benchmade 202 leuku and 15002-1 saddle mountain skinner as well as the ESEE 6 and the Buck GCK. Do benchmades typically not live up to the price? I've heard of some quality control issues with some of their folding knives, but don't know much about their fixed blades.

[@inquisitivemind8136]

Love it, thank you. Even have the same Ferrosi jacket color and the belt. and got the Architect...

[@oxxnarrdflame8865]

Yep. I enjoyed the video. 😊 I like your knife reviews.

[@pauldelaney6380]

Excellent video!

[@Bigdaddyslasher]

I love my Work Tuff blades I have 8 of them now and have very pleased

[@sarge27271]

Awesome picks! My gripe is with ESEE. I own a 5 and an Isula II. For the Ant, I don't care that the sheath is plastic. On the 5, the sheath is Kydex, and it's awesome! It used to be that way for the 4, 5, 6 and Junglas. Now only the 5 and the Junglas have the Kydex sheath. That sucks. They're not the most expensive knives, but they're not cheap either. ESEE should have upped their price by $5 and kept the Kydex. (Cause $5 is probably their finished cost for Kydex). Juss sayin'............Merry Christmas to you and your family!! Cheers

[@solaiman978]

Hi what do like kershaw camp 10 it's good choice or you have another think

[@knifesharpeningnorway]

Awesome video as always mate. Can you do a whole video about the first finnish blade?

[@jeffguy3868]

Great list of knives thanks

[@Salieri47]

Thanks for the info. I have reservations about sponsored reviews, but I enjoy your presentations.

18:40 hell yeah TAIWAN 💪 I live in the same city (Taichung) as WorkTuffGear. They're a family owned business. Very experienced knife makers and terrific designers. They also did a great job on the website.

[@cyhsiehc]

Taiwan is very different from China ! She is much greater than China

[@garrettferrell6821]

I would love to add one of their knives to my collection,I’ve heard nothing but good things about WorkTuffGear knives

[@BC-ec5sj]

Thanks for the Grip6 Belts recommendation. Just got a 3 pack. Very nice. It is hard to find decent belts. Good price, well made, look nice. Should last a long time, and we shall see. Later.

[@MrHf4l]

I hear that the ESEE 1095 blade are incredibly quick so dull under normal use. Gotta be a better option out there that’s easy to sharpen but hold a decent edge. Thoughts?

[@ericjudd9603]

Thanks man

[@cadenwalters5967]

Love the videos

[@seatsniffer100]

Awesome videos and amazing channel! I always enjoy watching you. Have you thought about reviewing the Chris Reeves Pacific or Green Beret?

[@michcatani7795]

Best knife reviewer on the tube 👍🏼🔥🔥🔥

[@MotoXFreak382]

Definitely the most honest. GT doesn't give you that "bought and paid for" feeling.

[@sunbunbradley]

WINKLER belt knife black. I get it scary sharp! I love it

[@srbontrager]

Speaking of Tops Knives. I decided to splurge on two specimens of their craftsmanship. Firstly, the ridiculously long 11½ inch Tops Steel Eagle, and my favorite of the two, their Ucon Hawk. Something I'm still trying to wrap my head around. A hatchet/hawk that is sharp enough to shave hair.

[@Sammenluola]

Hi from Finland! Rokka Korpisoturi looks a lot like traditional Finnish puukko-style knife, but with a slight modern twist to its design (and materials of course). I suspect this is a great bushcraft tool. I'll get one to try it out. In the old days folks only had a puukko and an axe in the forest, and they were fine.

[@MrSpartan117fan]

Been watching your channel for a long time and after seeing the elbrus review i had to get it and i love it . Next knife for me is between that bk18 and a tops BOB for the more smaller jobs

[@barneygo2010]

I bought a Tops BOB in Coyote after ensuring I had a Becker BK2 in each of our family vehicles already. That BOB knife is mine and it goes in my adventure bag. Andrew of Gideon Tactical is fuelling my knife/tool addiction. LOL Cheers.

Dude Condor has really stepped up there game can't believe Cold Steel!!🤯 I have allot of love in Cold Steel blades

[@timothygrmn]

Not sure how you feel about Bark River, but the Wilderness Explorer 5, with SureTouch handles, is a serious win for me this year.

[@boscokid9524]

Lost some weight this year and have been looking for a new belt for hiking pants, jeans. I’ll give Grip 6 a look. Thanks!

[@gideonstactical]

Ya love their belts.

[@dash8465]

I like the new scales on the Esee 5/6 - great looking and deep texture lines - but I like the scales from TKC better because they dont thin out too much on the top front right where your thumb's webbing presses hard. The Esee scales are a little more grippy, but the TKC's are more comfortable for hard use. If you buy your Esee 6 from TKC you can select your scale color and get a far far better slide lock kydex sheath. Also, if you like the Esee 6 but want a saber grind and thicker tip with a better coating (no LineX) get the TKC Architect 6.5, pick your scale, and the slide-lock kydex is fantastic too.

[@roguesheep1747]

I got a principal because of your video ,and its a cracking wee knife

[@jays7318]

So many choices I can't decide!

[@titanpreparedness]

Looks like all great options

[@NGMonocrom]

Field Buddy.... If you love everything about the ESEE 5 except the thickness, now you've got a great option. Owner of The Knife Connection is a great guy. That's coming from a long-time repeat customer.

[@Rusonekox9]

1st. Thanks for the video. 2nd any chance we could see a review on the newest version of the cold steel medium warcraft tanto (5.5 inches)??? I wanna know if it holds to it's predecessor. Thanks

[@sheltermonkey6065]

What's new about the newest version? Personally I was not impressed with the 7 inch version. The handle was not comfortable for me and the quality seemed below Cold Steel's usual standards.

Aaron first of all a happy new year and a big thanks for all the great knife reviews in the past years... Awesome list again for 2020. Do You remember the B4 from Joshua You reviewed a view years ago...? Finally he has given me the opportunity to order it and the MAKO 😎 Cause of Corona and financial cut therefore only able to get the MAKO at the moment (it’s in its making) hoping that 2021 Joshua will give me the opportunity to order the B4 I believe it’s worth waiting. Other than that my GEKKO 1500 is my daily companion since quit some time also influenced by Your review. Looking for a new strong folder in 2021 any ideas 💡 compared to sizing of the GEKKO 1500?
