BEST Survival Knives Put To THE TEST 2021 | Knife Field Test With Kurt And Dallas

[@PopeMcGrope]

Great words Dallas. Always clean up your campsites guys. It should be cleaner than when you found it.

[@1982rrose]

I hate a dirty site. I'm always picking bits up from prior campers😠 Having a dog concerns me what crap he might pick up

[@adksherm]

Leave no trace!

[@darken8649]

Kinda a dumb comment leave your campsite cleaner than you found it! Unless you are frequenting dirty campsites which well I guess here in Utah is more common than not! Haha

[@JustKnifeThings]

I like it when you guys show the knives in use. So many of us just buy them because we like them but don't actually have many tasks to do with them, so it's always nice to get some ideas.

[@mal_v_ado]

A TOPS KNIFE would've been a good addition to this field test.

[@BladeHQ]

I would agree. I had quite a few options. We are planning future videos to include other brands for a field test. -Dallas

[@sinkswim1798]

@@BladeHQ dont forget some lt wrights and other esees 😊

[@twiceborn_by_grace]

Dallas saying, “this’n” made me smile. I miss country/rural living.

[@RandallsAdventureESEE]

As always we appreciate the coverage and conversation folks.

[@GuyWithaRake]

The end with Kurt’s face after the first bite with the spoon had me dyin’ 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Dallas: “I should have thought this through…”🤣🤣. Just 2 guys having fun doing what they love and putting it out there for others to watch. Always entertaining. Thanks guys.

[@BladeHQ]

Thank you for watching. We have a great time making these videos. -Dallas

[@jaarriaga1978]

That was a beautiful fire, a tasty-looking stew and I think pretty much everyone would love to be there with you guys. And may I add that I believe Kurt and Dallas are possibly the best couple of hosts that Knife Banter has had

[@PopeMcGrope]

*Zach and Kurt

[@BladeHQ]

Thank you for the kind words. I love Dutch oven cooking. Have a great weekend and thanks for watching. -Dallas

[@lonewanderer3603]

Miscellaneous Wilderness is my favorite state park in Utah.

[@roycolglazier1061]

I enjoyed this vid MORE than anything lately! Please create more of this type content where ya'll actually take stuff to the field, and put it to the test! Good times. GOOD! TIMES! And we all learn so much more than from the dry productions in the studio...

[@tymccutchen]

Took my boys out to teach them some basic bushcrafting while back. Strongarm is in my opinion one of the best all around for the $ they loved it. Great stuff guys.

[@davidb1975a]

You all gave me an idea for a day trip... THANKS!!!

[@morriswhite5151]

you guys were great together. enjoyed the video.

[@mattlawrence8044]

Tons of bushcrafters swear by the Mora Garberg. But at the end of the day it all comes down to the individual. No best knife for every task. Thanks for the video guys, good stuff! 👍

[@BladeHQ]

Absolutely agree. Thank you for watching. -Dallas

[@gorillahd9247]

Excellent job gentlemen. Good video and thanks for making the point about cleaning up after ourselves. Well done!

[@NMiller_]

So glad to see Kurt learned to use fire steel outside the office... Please don't burn down BHQ, man.

[@rebelyell2741]

I’ve got an original red coated Buck compadre when they went on sale. Lower price compared to the new ones

[@globetrotter7778]

The new Compadre is more expensive but even so it's half the price of the ESEE (in my area for the least)

[@jonathancupp3686]

I don’t think you were going for a fishing spear Kurt. I think you just made a fork to go with your gigantic spoon.👍🏻👍🏻😂

[@jordanmiller8603]

Love the field tests. Watching this video in my office made me antsy to get out to the miscellaneous mountains near me!

[@BladeHQ]

Do it! You wont regret it. Have a great weekend. -Dallas

[@Ryan-qp3uz]

@@BladeHQ Field test showing pros and cons of various blade shapes? Possibly also the history behind them?

[@GOxHAM]

Really beautifully recorded/edited video footage. Very peaceful to watch too!

[@terminalbliss3673]

Interesting intro, was the truck doing the talking?😂

[@BladeHQ]

lol. Somebody inside the truck (probably me) hit the wrong button on the gopro inside and we didn't record anything. Or Kurts truck sounds like Kurt? lol Thank you for the laugh. -Dallas

[@SonOfAHerbert]

I miss the old school field test videos that were like an hour long

[@d33b33]

Brain: "Go offer them twenty bucks for that Esee. They can't sell it like that." Dammit brain, I can't take you anywhere.

[@genuinelyconcerned3504]

Love to see a lionsteel T5 in the next

[@richardhatt6541]

Why not use a hatchet to split wood? Proper tool for the job?

[@3x6Corvus]

I'm not sure if I'd consider making "feather sticks" heavy work to be honest most knives can do that

[@davidcarter8457]

Like archery and sidearms, if it don’t fit your hand, there will be problems. I have several Buck knives, and almost bought the Compadre, then decided on Survival Lillie’s APO1S. Bigger and heavier, but that handle fits my hand like a glove, and the balance feels perfect. Just bought the Mora Garberg Bushcraft as a lighter duty/get home bag fixed blade. It think it will work out fine. This was a good video. Keep it up.

[@joshottinger6380]

Love this! Great video guys. You should put out more Fixed Blade videos or wilderness setting videos

[@czed7515]

I never understood how fallknivens have so thick blade stock but cut so well. Their geomentry is amazing.

[@kejadventures241]

Convex edge.

[@BOOMER-rs5qn]

I'll stick with my Cold Steel Laredo Bowie. It will handle 99% of my outdoor needs. For small/detail work, I keep a couple Mora Companions in my pack.

[@kejadventures241]

You carry multiples of the same knife on the same trip. That is peculiar.

[@BOOMER-rs5qn]

@@kejadventures241Obviously you are not a hog hunter. I process my own and don't feel like screwing around with re-sharpening when cleaning multiple hogs after a long day.

[@kejadventures241]

@@BOOMER-rs5qn Then why not get a knife designed for that with better steel? You obviously don't know what a carving knife is because if you did you wouldn't be bringing 3 of them with you to cut hogs. Lmao

[@marthacoate1024]

Well, all you guys need to do at this point is add a scoring system from 1-10 on each knife, add some snazzy alternative music and “mirror polish” all your blades and you’ll be influencing the knife world in no time!

[@kylemcspadden1550]

I had the same thought

[@cwrowe]

Esse all the way👍👍

[@jamessethmoore]

If you're worried about weight, use the Esee 4 :-)

[@Swearengen1980]

Not if you have decent sized hands. If you have short, stubby sausage fingers like the dudes int he video, I get it. But my ESEE 4 just sits in a drawer because the handle is so awful.

[@seanscanlan4821]

I need to try and make a spoonainer with a big heavy knife. Maybe the BK2, that's a chunk of metal...

[@billybastar4022]

All that hard boys..you guys looked like you were withering away😂 More stew!!! Great video.

[@bloodmorel]

I thought this was a GREAT format for this sort of video!

[@darken8649]

I used to think these guys were beyond cool. But this out in the wild really humbled me to their game. Hahaha and the worst part is when that guy kept saying Falk knifen hahaha

[@Deibodese]

Great stuff! 😃 I had put in this request once before, putting it in again: Could y’all showcase slip joint knives doing typical EDC tasks? I feel like your average “super steel, AXIS/Integral Titanium Frame Lock” knife enthusiast is missing out on that whole family of knives because of the idea that they’re too flimsy to use safely.

[@stout_tossme7541]

I was thinking the same thing. Great minds think alike.

[@Deibodese]

I EDC a slip joint every day as part of my “load out.” I carry different kinds of knives for different kinds of tasks. As I’m typing this, I’m carrying an antique Scout Knife from the 59’s that a friend recently gifted me. Seventy years old, no locking mechanism of any kind, and it cuts, screws and unscrews, pries and scrapes just fine.

[@stout_tossme7541]

@@Deibodese that is awesome.

[@BladeHQ]

YES! We will try and make this a thing. Thank you for the suggestion. -Dallas

[@Deibodese]

Awesome! 😃

[@sunbunbradley]

I use a WINKLER belt knife, and I tried to carve a spoon out of a piece of wood and i ended up getting 6 stitches in my thumb! Haha fun times!!

[@PopeMcGrope]

Aww😞😡, was hoping for a RAT/ESSE 3 test.

[@BladeHQ]

I will add it to my list for the next video. I do like the RAT. I do own a couple (R2D2, RAT 1, and have used the crud out of an ESEE 3). Thank you for watching. -Dallas

[@PopeMcGrope]

@@BladeHQ I edc a RAT 3 when ever I can. Great fixed blade for a little less than esee prices

[@josephb3024]

I Think it’s funny you used the Mora to chop carrots 😂 (like the last knife I’d use to do that)

[@m.j.r2373]

Awesome,, wish for more videos like this

[@CulturedHeathen]

Kurt: "I'm ready for stew!" Dallas: "Who's Stu?"

[@fortcastlevgn2368]

Nice video lol except the cutting animal flesh part .. thx for info very educative.. ya i thought essee as well. . Tho s1 pro for carving is better?.. i need a carving knif

[@snarf9455]

Been using a J.P. Peltonen out and about for almost a year now.

[@TRUicezayah]

Can y’all do a best EDC pocket knife for athletic shorts video

[@MrJorddy123]

Link up with DBK for a weekend.

[@GOATOFEDC]

Can we see Dallas’s knife collection please!!

[@BladeHQ]

That is a great suggestion. We will try and put it together. Thank you for the suggestion. -Dallas

First, great format for the video. 2nd... God help me, I've worked too long around producers... "falk kneevin" is the pronunciation.

[@BladeHQ]

Thank you. And thank you for the correction of the pronunciation. I do mess that up from time to time. -Dallas

[@kcarsonphoto]

@@BladeHQ you're welcome, been there. Copy editors and producers are a pain, but necessary 🥴

Why didn't you guys choose an Esee 6 or a Jungless lol ?

[@BladeHQ]

Both are great suggestions. Have a great weekend. -Dallas

[@eltiopaquillo141]

[@ethanreiland6920]

Great video. Dallas and Kurt fit together very well. Now I want a compadre and a garberg.

[@BladeHQ]

Thank you. Kurt and I have a lot of fun filming these videos. Compadre and Garberg are excellent knives and come in at a great price point. Have a great weekend. -Dallas

[@flaco5581]

Best video you guys have done in a while. Thanks

[@SinistralCitizen]

@Blade HQ what do you do with all the knives that you test after your done with them?

[@BladeHQ]

That is a great question. We normally put them in our knife library for further use. -Dallas

[@concernedpatriot9314]

Sweet you bought some fire 🔥 wood at the gas station ⛽️ oh did you forget your ax ? I did notice the sun changed angle ( 3 hours) before you got the fire started, just saying 😂oh I did like the slow motion cutting of the food though. Why did you wait until the next day to put up. Shelter?? Oh well at least you had fun and nobody got hurt. Right ??

[@concernedpatriot9314]

Seriously great show and I wish I was there with ! Fun stuff !!😎 do more of these !
