@@WeAllJuggleKnives thanks for the thought but that is not possible for me. That’s extremely expensive for me

[@bpbinette]

Looks like a solid, heavy-duty, all-purpose blade. Period!

[@bluefrog8670]

This is one of the best channels on youtube. Seems like a good knife. I like the pommel, don't quite understand the cutout on the scales by the spine though. I'm spoiled, I already have an old RTAK-II, BK9, Hudson bay, ect. I've been watching for a while. 😄

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

Thanks for sticking with me for so long!

[@jonnyboat2]

I saw these about a month ago and there were no KZbin videos on it. I wanted to wait for someone else to discover these and do a review on them. Thanks for the review. Now I might actually buy one.

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

Excellent, hope you like it.

[@brianmccann666]

The steel is great stuff

[@benny4162]

Ka-bar's evil twin, Ba-Kor! That fractal pattern on the blade is sweet.

[@fiercebone825]

Thanks! Obviously I’m joking about a knife collection update. You probably have acquired many of the sharpened tools in the universe.

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

Thank you , my bro, you are one of my fierce-est supporters!

[@davidkurle5418]

Cool piece, buddy! Thanks for the demonstrations!

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

Thanks for watching!

[@z3160200]

I just bought this knife, for the price it is very good. It high quantity enough for serious use, but due to its relatively low price, not afraid to use it.

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

Excellent, glad it is working for you, too!

[@GutiTheJ]

LOL ba-kor Almost looks like an anagram of ka-bar

[@dakillah6018]

yeah wtf is this shit 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂☠☠

[@joehebert901]

I have been looking at this knife for a while and just never pulled the trigger on it. I will now. That is one tough knife. Great video brother.

[@CommonCentsOutdoorsman]

When I'm in the mood for a good ole fashioned knife review video I come here. Nice work brother!

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

Thank you for your support!

[@leviinman2224]

I have one and did a hard wood chopping test and was impressed. The handle is a little boxy for my taste but all and all, its a smart bye. The thing is a tank.

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

Excellent, glad to hear your testing confirms the strength!

[@richardhenry1969]

You always find the Gems. I'm really interested in DC53 steel. On paper it seems amazing. The polar 2 is a fine looking knife. Id get some kydex. But for the price its impossible to beat. Im trying to wait for eafengrow 149 i love the blade shape just don't know when its going on sale. Always good to see your videos. Hope the comments help brother.

[@oscarlamonte3148]

I just ordered the TIGER SHARK!! I really like the DC53 STEEL have a few in the efengro line and it keeps an excellent edge! The TIGER comes with a nice fiberglass or kydex sheath with Teklok for belt carry. I'll do a review 💯💥🔥and for 60bucks why not!!!

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

Awesome, I will watch your review!

[@mushroomhead31]

Love your reviews dude. I point all my buds to your videos. thx

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@jhonrutger3508]

Got the knife today, for the price it's not too bad, the edge needs a little work though out of the box...but for 68$ I'm not complaining.

[@AdrianRedburn-ti3tb]

I'm a new sub. Just found your vids. Never knew about this brand . Just ordered two from them because you let us know they exist. Your lots of fun and clearly enjoy what you show. Jesus loves you lots.

i have a ka-bar large heavy bowie. never used it. but i love it. back in the day i would carry it around in the house just cause it is so cool!

[@Phil-S8]

I really like the look. It's kind of hard to trust steel listings with these unknown brands sometimes, so thanks for the heavy testing

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

Glad it was helpful!

[@fiercebone825]

Thanks for the video! Always fun!

[@mistersmith3986]

Dude, I like EVERYTHING about this knife, Even though that last log didn't appreciate being bothered, this thing blasted away. Also, the sheath is perfect. Thanx for the video my Bladed Brother ⚔👍✝🇺🇸

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

Thanks, my bro!

[@onesky8647]

This knife has all the markings of those Chinese made knives you can also find on A-E, the DC53 steel, the etchings on the blade and square cut outs on the spine. You do get a lot of bang for the money. :)

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

I think about 40% of viewers are outside the US and can't access a Kabar anyway, or it would be twice the price for them, so something like this will always become popular.

[@Mikex0123]

For walking, the cold is better. It's easier to breathe. You don't get overheated. This looks like a practical knife to buy because of the price and blade steel. I don't really want a wooden handle but for the money it looks like a good deal.

[@NicholasNappi]

Honestly expensive is not always better.

[@weberrebel7699]

Im glad you talked about this knife strangley i dont see any videos or reviews on this brand other than on your channel . Glad to know this brand exist and it is a option for a good blade .

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

It is a new brand, but I've seen several reviews lately, and I believe most were pretty positive!

[@jhonrutger3508]

My old lady just ordered me one as an early christmas present might be my heavy use knife to keep all my drawer queens nice. I want to put some micarta scales on it.

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

Excellent, that is an awesome spouse.

Thanks!

[@constantinerokososky849]

I bought this knive on the 10 of this month after seeing your review , I was thinking of buying the Eafengrow 141 or the Eafengrow 146 but this Ba kor polar II is in my opinion better than the Eafengrow for batoning and chopping , it impressed me a lot seeing you batoning that big and hard block of wood , to be honest that was the reason I bought one (. Finally I find a knive for the end of the world scenario). Great job , and I want to thank you for doing all those great reviews one comment , I too don't like the heat climate , if I did I would go back to Cuba ( I love the cold weather ) bye for now my KZbin friend 😃👍

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

Excellent, I hope it serves you well!

[@brianmccann666]

The Quality Leather Sheath alone make this a Great 👍 buy 👍...

[@jodyklocko6696]

Just bought one! Because of your review. Now it’s $ 56.90. Even if it snapped in half it would still be a good digging tool. And the a ferro rod …we will see. Thanks again for your input!

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

Excellent, I like the ferro rod a lot, and these are very sharp, too.

[@mesoscopic]

Hey man, nice to see you have a BK9. I got mine a few years ago and got the canvas micarta scales a few months ago and the grip is simply better.

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

For sure, I have their Becker Kukri too, it is nice but pricey.

[@fiercebone825]

Wanting a knife/sword collection update? Hope all is solid.

[@420haxx]

A great looking blade at a great price and it's even got some nice steel.

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

Glad you like it! The steel might be a little better than on my Ka-bar.

[@MrCSRT8]

Looks heavy duty. The bonus fire striker is nice too.

[@UrielsJunkDrawer]

Seems like a fair priced for a large knife.

[@torsten4757]

Thanks for sharing! The knife at minute 02:00 runs here in Germany on AMAZON as the: "NedFoss Förster" Machete. But I cant find that damn cool BK 9 substitute. That would have been mine.... ;-)

[@jamespisano1164]

Looks real good. Good review. How was the handle on your hand? What if you weren't wearing gloves? Hot spots?

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

The handle is kind of blocky, I think people might shape it or sand it down a little.

[@davidbigham7726]

I’ll Be Checking These Out - Thank You

[@andrewmcgibbon9785]

I'm not a fan of wood handles on knives. They shrink and swell with the humidity. And they are easy to damage. But you're getting a leather sheath, which is almost unheard of in this price range and the Fire steel looks pretty substantial. Replacing those scales with micarta would be pretty easy.

[@cnjhendricks]

imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

[@boggycreekbeast]

Thanks for reviewing so many good knives. Never heard of this brand but I'm ordering one.

[@godel3081]

great find/ decent price

[@bobjones9727]

Good review as usual. I really wanted the Tiger Shark but delivery was 40 days out. Got the polar instead. Looks like a good value for the money although I doubt if it will surpass by BK9. However I would love the leather sheath for the BK9.

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

Same here, I never buy them until they are in-country, the Tiger Shark II has arrived, it will probably sell out though, once the Polar II is sold out.

[@granitemonkey]

Thats why I love your videos bro, if there were any flaws in the heat treat, you'd find it with your club there with the way you were whacking it. Good stuff 🤝

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

For sure, I test them all just for my own assurance, and I might as well film it :]

[@granitemonkey]

@WeAllJuggleKnives Well, I appreciate everything you do. I've made several purchases based off of your recommendations. I thank you for the time and work it takes to make a good video.

[@mt_baldwin]

The problem with KaBar's is I never want to use them, or beat them up. I got the Jarosz Choppa and Bk5, neither of which are made anymore so I really don't want to use them now. Might grab one of these, I won't feel bad about putting heavy use on it,

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

Their prices have definitely gone up, I see the BK9 and the BK7 are both around $123 right now. The BK Kukri I have has always been pricey.

[@derekneumann]

That 2nd wood was fuckin burly!

[@brianmccann666]

Nice Knife. Ordered Two different Na-Kor blades earlier today. This one and a 5" blade knife. Other one I wanted is sold out though. If I see a tracker style, I'll jump on it ASAP. 🤣 Ohh it tickles the insides 🤣

Awesome, I'm going to review that L/Tiger Shark II soon.

[@ritathomas3926]

I'll get one this week...

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

Excellent, hope you like!

[@KS-hj6xn]

I like the Bakor. It looks mega-sturdy. It took me hours of hand sharpening D2 steel to get a fancy edge, so, that steel will be even harder to dull and sharpen. Lol Try using the side of the blade as a hammer to pound in tent stakes.. Test the Mini Kabar.. great little copy of its Mama. Size is just right for youth, scouts, and plenty of knife for adults..

[@Dg.watercolor]

Beautiful knife, seriously considering it. From what I've found, DC53 steel is equivalent to non CPM Cru-Wear.

[@DEATHGRIP360]

Like the wood scales

[@BladeObssession]

The pattern on the blade makes me think of the scales on Godzillas back

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

I used to watch those movies every Saturday :]

[@BladeObssession]

@WeAllJuggleKnives me too. The new movies are good too especially Godzilla minus one

[@CrazyPolarBear82]

i just bought one for 55 while they are on sale for black friday, couldn't pass that up. awesome dragon line btw, of course im going to take more dragons

[@no_one_in_particular_]

Got a diet related question. How do you bake your chicken? I saw it on one of your vids.

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

I usually brown it in a pan for a few minutes per side, and then bake it in a toaster oven for maybe 15 minutes, mine runs hot. I add ginger, onion powder, garlic, salt. Had some yesterday,!

[@michaelcohen9740]

Thank you for a great review and the links , unfortunately as of today ,Sunday November 11 2024,at Amazon they say delivery will take until mid December on this knife and the other chopper you showed ,they do have another, different knife with micarta grips available for next day delivery,a smaller hunting type that I'm going to order today 👍🔪

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

That is what k*lls me about these brands - they never realize which of their knives they should produce 10,000 of!

[@ArfooHuroo]

this actually seems better than the bk9. How slippery is the handle though? That's one thing i didn't like about hte bk9, had to switch custom scales

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

It is a little better, wider and better steel, the handle is good, not as slippery but it is blocky.

[@JH_1095]

She's a beast!

[@BladeObssession]

I like how they just played with the letters in Ka Bar to name it 😀

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

For sure, just when we thought they had no sense of humor!

[@ArcticGator]

Speaking of Ka-Bar, i have been looking high and low for the small kabar large heavy bowie, seems they didnt make it in as many numbers as the larger version.

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

Sounds good, I did not realize they had a short version, they should bring that one back, I'd get one.

[@stonefox9124]

I love the KaBar Warthog. Short, beefy and also $60

[@ArcticGator]

@@stonefox9124 I have one, they are pretty nice, i wanted the small large heavy bowie more for collecting purposes.

[@N_Andrews]

Them wood handles look a bit blocky but could be fixed. Just looked at their Amazon store. The parang style knife looks amazing.

[@jorgefernandez6407]

I like DC-53 and that, is a good knife!

[@PerceptionVsReality333]

If done right DC53 is way better than 1095CV. I have a small Eafengrow fixed blade with DC53 & it reminds me of 3V.

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

Definitely. Not to ruffle feathers, but truth is, DC53 is an upgrade to the steel on that kabar. Even good old 5160 would have been better for the Kabar.

Not yet, but someone told me that in Germany, the second one is sold by Ned Foss brand.

[@mickroe8798]

I like it

[@xFallenAngel]

Since you already did a couple Eafengrows, are you gonna take a look at the Eafengrow EF148? A tad shorter and lighter, same price range, Aus-10 with contoured G10 scales (probably more comfortable than that wood handle). Would be interesting to see how these compare.

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

I might! I have to review my EF 146 first, I've had it for a while now, it's one of their most heavy duty knives.

[@xFallenAngel]

@@WeAllJuggleKnives Oh boy, I just looked that one up and while the Polar II and the EF148 are already quite chonky at 6mm each, the EF146 is an 8mm tank. Wonder how it handles at that thickness (and weight). Looking forward to the review(s).

[@Guardian4080]

Is the sheath as good as the knife? Looks sort of cheap.

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

I would prefer a Kydex sheath, their other knife, the Tiger Shark II has a Kydex Sheath with Tek Lock.

[@WoodsmanHobo777]

That oak is the toughest to process

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

For sure, I usually make my clubs out of it, they last for years.

[@tigerpisces5506]

68 bucks is a good deal.even if I use it as machete.

[@jhonrutger3508]

probably makes a good banger knife something I wouldn't lose sleep over of it got damaged or lost

[@jhonrutger3508]

How's the heat treat on it? I read dc53 is a pretty solid steel but a heat can make it or break it.

[@decal1751]

Seems super proper, esp for the price.... I never liked those slippery-ass handles on the BK9...... seriously, everyone put tennis racket tape on them, right?
