Big Bag O' Blades 2 pt 1: Survival Knives, Bushcraft Knives, Axes, and More!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Wow! Just wow! Great run through of some great blades. I especially like the sheath for the Tahoma Field Knife.

[@notacop0628]

Just want to say, Im a fan of your videos for several reasons 1. You know what your talking about. 2. You tell people what we really need and want to know about knives and gear 3. You actually use the knives and gear And many more so thank you for doing things right.

[@Wingman115]

Liking the thinking outside the box Big O' Blades! Fun video to watch thanks for posting.

[@dylanblevins4477]

I bought my bk7 in february because u recommend it so much and i love it.

[@sifusasdo2314]

Love Ur modification on the Cold Steel hatched Need to do the same Great Idea 👍👍👍

[@nikkeel5748]

I really liked this vid. I usually come here to see bad ass tactical stuff I'll never be able to afford or need to use, but this had a little bit of everything and I laughed out loud several times. Thanks.

[@Atka59]

Chris, the closing emblem is awesome, really slick!

[@r.mercado9737]

Very nice series of Bag O Knives! Not bad at all. I like the way you think out of the box when it comes to designing your sheaths! I like that very much! Semper Fi

[@austinlozinski2119]

I just have two words about the video. OUTSTANDINGLY AWESOME!!

[@rolandsilva9743]

Chris you can put a small fero rod notch with a Dremel tool and small grinding head for the tahoma

[@Shinlung66]

Great video Chris...and love the bottle split at the end sweet Machete :)

[@nanookyful]

You mention the tramontina machete so much! Can't believe you praise this one out of all the cold steel and condor machetes out there that also have very low costs. BUT, seeing this video of it splitting firewood, I think i'm sold. A lot of my machete's would bend and warp at the top where i was batoning. Look's like i am going to pick up one of those. Thanks for the review guys.

[@Doberman144]

Great review .. I have the BK 2, BK 7 and BK 9 , plus BK 11 and BK 14 neck knives .. Have stripped and blued all five .. Great blades .. Thanks ..

[@xlasvegan7x]

Great video and info..I watched your Kasper Crawford video and immediately went on ebay and got really lucky and scored a satin plain edge version..which are really difficult to come by..keep em coming!

[@CavemanOutdoorsMissouri]

I have always been a fan of tanto blades so I can't wait to see more of the SCHF17

[@summit2g]

Haha. It put the wood where is goes. That's awesome. Great Vid Bud !

[@dawudbish3860]

I love my tramontina. That and imcasa (condor) are the only 2 they use in the Caribbean. And they use machetes everyday.

[@mrdark9916]

I have been loving my Gerber Strongarm, with a Kershaw Camp 10 kukri for chopping. Been an awesome combo. 5 stars for my uses In conjunction with a saw of your choosing, very good man portable capabilities

[@chanekeresorterasmx]

MEN! this is one of the most fun and entertaining videos from your channel! two thumbs up! saludos desde méxico!

[@markj7579]

Thanks for actually using the knives Chris. You sold me on the Tops Tahoma. Been looking at it for awhile and finally got to see it in action. And chicks dancing in the woods with fox masks on prefer the Hedgehog sheaths over kydex 7 out of 9 times. GO GET YOUR BLADE ON!

[@preparedmind101]

Of course they do. It means the guy wearing it is wealthy.

[@livingsurvival]

For removing the coating off the BOB would you recommend the paint and epoxy remover and 3000 grit sandpaper from your previous video? My coating is about to go bye bye...

[@preparedmind101]

Jasco. I'm getting an unfinished one when they come out to match the Scandi Trekker that showed up today. The optional BOB leather dangler is awesome too.

[@livingsurvival]

I saw the new sheath, pretty cool. Ok, I'm going to give it a shot, thanks ;)-

[@dreambigvake4243]

Haha when you brought up Jessica i laughed so hard, i have a BK7 and i love her amazing knife

[@RedFatCat78]

I like these long videos... that sheath is awesome from your tahoma...

[@rudasill2]

Great video Chris can't wait for the second part. Also you had me cracking up with the Jessica intro. Glad you are finally able to start doing more with your tfk, the new sheath looks great as well. I can't wait till I can do more things with my tfk, I can say this what all I have been able to do with it the knife is great.

[@cdm1250uhf1]

Hello, I'm new to your channel and I love it. Keep up the good work! Oh and nice knives.

[@WestCrossing127]

What I really hate about this vid, is that pt2 isn't up yet. Good job, as usual.

[@gravestoneparanormal4715]

I just wanted to say thanks for the recommendation on the name tape, I just placed my order. I really appreciate your help. Take care and stay safe - Eric

[@robb7213]

Have you tried the cold steel pocket bushman? Excellent knife strong folder and great price...

[@Countryprepper]

Try using the choil on that Tahoma field knife to strike your ferro rod. I bet you'll like the results. It works kinda like a custom knife of mine that has a round groove in the spine for striking a ferro rod. I think you've done a review on something similar to that.

[@preparedmind101]

I know the notch works.

[@Countryprepper]

Figured you probably did, just thought I'd mention it for those that would think less of a great knife because of that. You know how quick some people are to judge a knife on the smallest of details.

[@jaguilar13]

I find that when I have problems striking with the spine of a blade, I try with the jimping. I honestly dont know if im not supposed to, but it works like a charm for me. Massive shower of sparks, everytime.just my $0.02

[@manvswildfan01]

Your new favorite large knife! Becky is crying right now!

[@live2hunt388]

How about applying a dedicated hunters axe handle to the riflemans hawk head or maybe the pipehawks head? That would make for some serious leverage

[@cbr600rrturbo]

the new fad is little knives 5 inch or less,but I luv big blades!!

[@hatchetjack1031]

I like the TOPS backpacker's Bowie, missle strike and desert nomad. Hard to find.

[@booberry10]

Haha I love your vids, your funny, your info is honest and kicks ass, and you really know what your doing.

[@jeredsyn1964]

Also if you have a chance to get a hold on one of these fox "mild angle" kukris you'll be pleased. I've been using this FX-658 which is the smaller black one and it preforms very well. It's made from Nitro-B whatever the hell that is. I can tell you it's almost as easy to sharpen as carbon steel with 57-58 on the hardness.

[@BudgetBugout]

Love the blade videos! I can - and do - watch these kind of vids for hours! Question: Are there going to be ewoks in the 3rd installment? Also, if you do a prequal series, try not to include any characters named "Jar Jar Binks"... Lol! Thanks for sharing man!

[@OmegaMan999]

Do you have a video where you talk about the Condor Boomslang?

[@Filbertt]

Nice collection

[@CD-zz4li]

love your show keep up the good work

[@borntobleed8844]

what do you think of the mossy oak overwatch warhorse I really like it

[@BeMoreGooderPeople]

The Tahoma dont look 1/4" id guess more like 1/8". Epic kydex sheath setup,love it. Just wish kydex wasnt so loud,makes me stay with leather but if they add liners to the kydex I think then it would be the way to go.

[@preparedmind101]

I think ur right. I day things wrong sometimes when not shooting with a stat sheet taped to the tripod.

[@johnfuller6338]

I do it all the time with the cold steel pocket bushman.

[@bigfootbushcraft7063]

Man u got some B.A. Toys, I was alil worried about u when u got to swingin that zombie killer but glad it went well awesome vid. My 2nd fav right behind the rambo knife one lol. That one will always be numero uno!

[@mikeoffenbable]

Hey Chris was wondering if you could put the crkt minimalist bowie in your amazon store, I'm going to be ordering one soon. Also I don't know if it is a possibility to put a search bar on your store so we can find exactly what we want without going thru the pages. Thanks for your time mike o.

[@preparedmind101]

Will do.

[@innerbarkoutdoors]

Use the tooth! :)

[@Assassinator-jx3rh]

Hello Andy

[@ThePrimordialDwarf]

Bought the BOB a few months ago, love it.... aside from the coating and sheath. So needless to say im pretty pissed i didnt wait a little longer :(

[@ThePrimordialDwarf]

Ill have to rewatch your mod vids

[@TKDLION]

I like the look of that Condor Discord Machete.

[@user-jb4iw5xp5e]

around when is part 2 coming?

[@XD1616]

Damn Knife Santa keep the sweet finds a coming. Also, that first knife by Tops is BADASS. Have you ever dabbled with the Ontario Gen II series? Also have you ever considered doing a clip on different steels used for knives? I ask with the new wave of alloys in mind

[@Prepping2endure]

Digging the water bottle split more then the can of soup HACK! LAMO!

[@craigdownie5546]

What kind of paracord stitch is his bracelet made of?

[@LuckyLuch1016]

Great vid! awesome vid!! spectacular video!!!

[@hatchetjack1031]

Lynn Thompson hangs 600 lbs. From the voyager blade in his demo vidio. I've got the tattoo xl version.

[@sackett68]

Ok, the bottle cut at the end was Baaaaaad Aaaaassssss!

[@shcmoly]

Remind us; where do you get your shock cord?

[@low96hb]

Yea..this Preparedmind101 guy is costing me a lot of money...BK7, flashlights, gear, small folding knives that kind of thing....I may as well set up a UPS depot at my driveway....Keep up the good work Chris.....

[@therealmvp7475]

been waiting forever for this!!!

[@josegalvan7274]

Great video, awesome knifes

[@theinfidel6301]

What diameter shock cord do you use on your rods?

[@cristiandiaz6469]

Pedazo de canillas, la cago!!!!! Como se logran esas descomunales piernas?

[@dalecarpenter8828]

its not photo chopped its machette chopped .cool vid i wanted to see the cold steel xl folder baton but i didn't want to do it with mine .i would only baton with it in a pinch but good to know it can do it well .cool keep up the good work .

[@34482muz]

Again great vids brother

[@buckeyeimaging]

didn't you beat up a Cold Steel Recon 1 as a bushcraft folder?

[@preparedmind101]

I don't recall if I did or not. Maybe I did.

[@pinkbrisingr78]

Man ignore the haters. Great video Chris. We watched the whole dang thing...

[@booma2449]

And I'm that way too Chris's i like going tool heavy in the woods and my BOB has lots if tools

[@TheOfficialJWHolt]

Hey Chris, I'm a big fan and I love the channel. I have one question though, how did you engrave the name "Jessica" onto Jessica? It looks perfect, almost like it was done by machine.

[@romansandbank7251]

I think he has a video on it

[@kostaspotos7412]

what's the name of the knife on your neck?

[@TheMyrcantrower]

The intro for Jessica was awesome.

[@dwightehowell8179]

You can make feather sticks and notches with any sharp folder. Batoning and prizing is the joint and blade killer. This folding knife could be uses to split off thin slivers of wood, I would think. I'm not doing that with smaller knives with weaker joints. This group of knives have some of the strongest joints made. I think cold steel bought the patent on it. It is what it is. I'm going to note that the old times were used to bragging about being able spend a week in the woods with nothing but the contents of their pockets which included a fire starter kit, a fishing kit, and good sharp two or three bladed folder and come out stinky but fine. Very few moderns are actually skilled woodsmen.

[@vitdelrosario1]

dude hold on that was an awesome shot at 47:50. too good

[@colbywise9113]

I lost it when you started tapping your head with Jessica

[@tdimaggio]

When splitting, little tip...aim for the bottom of the stump, not the top of the log you're trying to split. Also, bend the knees on the downstroke. If you miss the stump, you still get to keep your leg. :-)

[@OutdoorWanderer1]

Great video, nice job!

[@Steelmonkey76]

You should get a few knives from havoc in these vids. I would lend you the one i bought at survival tactics.

[@kevinbeck6419]

I carry the extremeus fixed blade knife from amazon

[@1crimm]

great vid dude... THUMBS UP

[@Daniel.Liddicoat]

KA-BAR have replacement micarta handles for the big boys (BK2/3/4/5/7/9/10/20/21/22/29/32/39) and for their small boys (BK16/17/18).

[@joshmontgomery1589]

an update on the tfk?

[@therealmvp7475]

saw a becker BK7 for low 70's on amazon?

[@preparedmind101]

If so, grab it. Price has been bouncing all over the damn place. It was $90+ for a little bit, which is insane.

[@therealmvp7475]

Cool thank you!!

[@summit2g]

Haha OMG. You just bitch slapped the wood with the Condor. Awesome stuff bro !

[@sherwinpalacio3227]

Very nice!

[@survivingknives8059]

Dude I love your vids

[@ChronicRS_YT]

Hey man love your vids a lot I really think Jessica 2 should go in the red rhino customs sheath that would be as badass as it gets especially because between Jessica 3 and Jess 2 there were no differences like the thumb ramp being taken off, aside from the duracoat, if the duracoat wouldn't interfere with the kydex's fit on the knife Jessica 2 and the red rhino custom sheath would go great together, keep up the good work also would like to see some gun reviews on the guns themselves sort of like your video of the ak/ar mutant and speaking of that video that .44 desert eagle was kickass man 👍 love your shit keep it up

[@MrGitpicker]

Good stuff. Thanks for posting.

[@aznelite325]

"i am a how many knives can i carry without sinking when i cross the river type of guy" haha love it, that's me too lol

[@norwoodzomboy]

Interesting "WAR HAWK" design! You've re-created, with some modifications a Slavic Carpathian peasant axe. The channel Skallagrim tested it out on a ZGB Ivan head with devastating results! It goes by different names in different countries; the Valaska or the Ciupaga in Polish; it was a multi-purpose tool: weapon, livestock butchering, walking stick (as the top of the blade was often flat) and...oh yeah, chopping wood!! Not to mention a prop in some risky men's folk dances!

[@TheMMObro]

In NY a plane passes over head every 30 seconds - 1 min, so avg like 45sec lol

[@TheMMObro]

But they aren't always so low that they deafen u like that. Only the ones taking off or landing at la Guardia

[@enzowarren9832]

Instead of the Becker BK7 I now use a Cold Steel Recon Scout in O1 steel. It took some getting used to, but honestly I love this blade more than any other. I use it for everything, and with a .3125 inch thick blade (5/16 in.) it really can be used for everything. If you're looking for a heavy duty knife to use in place of a Becker or other larger fixed blade, get the CS Recon Scout. The grip is truly a grip, and it seems to grab onto my hand itself. The only drawback is the price, which is much higher than the BK7's. However, along with the excellent knife comes with an excellent stock sheath, Cold Steel's popular Secure-Ex™. So, there's no need to buy a custom Kydex or leather sheath.

[@joey8obby]

Wait a sec, why would you ever replace your Becker if you're not a knife collector 😂😂

[@anthonyvisconte7977]

whats the difference of the "Camillus" era bk7 (J3)?

[@preparedmind101]

Basically it says "Camillus" on it instead of "Ka-Bar".

[@Guitars77OA6]

I would take 4 knives in the woods cause if ya get stuck ya gonna need a backup. Or if you lose a knife and you only have 1 you're kinda done for.

[@Toki52]

Hold the knife blade down and pull the fire stick towards you instead of swinging the blade forward. You'll get more concentrated sparks with less chance of injury.

[@Toki52]

Just like you did it with the Mora.... Nevermind. On my way to the Fox mask dance party.

[@Walterliquori]

watched half the video great so far ...I want kydex options dammit nice work

[@yoy58913]

I like your videos dude

[@zachhenderson4586]

We'll done will I did not get agg'd with you this time as long as you don't quote Dave Canterbury every 2 seconds I can watch lol

[@TheHiddenWoodsmen]

With that last shot u took a chunk out of your railing.

[@charlestatem3099]

nice vid, love those Beckers!

[@stegmonjurvinweirdt1834]

really like the vids, been watching for a few weeks. I hope to eventually get a two-hander machete. My opinion on folders; I don't waste my time. Folders can rarely take much abuse. the main EDC I wear on my belt is a Ridgerunner 2". No it is NOT a great knife. The reason I have it; *tiny & unnoticeable, *I have abused it a lot (if it breaks I may get another) *The rare thrower that has stood the test.

[@user-jb4iw5xp5e]

do you have any new condor blades coming soon?

[@preparedmind101]

I hope so. Still waiting for the guys in El Salvador to finish their smoke break or whatever the hell they are doing down there. In constant contact with Joe. When they come in I'm driving down to his place for two days of videos in the woods.

[@user-jb4iw5xp5e]

ok I really like your condor shot show video and was wondering if any were coming back

[@preparedmind101]

I'm going to Joe's place when they do. So it will be like the SHOT Show video except we'll be hacking stuff in the woods.

[@user-jb4iw5xp5e]

PREPAREDMIND101 ok cool
