BRAND NEW!!! Survive! Knives GSO-5.1 (2015)

[@SmokeRingsPipeDreams]

I literally burst out laughing with that (surprising) opening joke. Thumbs up to you Sir!

[@opx999er]

I LOVED THAT INTRO! I am not sure how many people caught it...I laughed my ass off. Thank you for that!

[@Goldpanda-dz8oe]

I know right

[@wibbit337]

As a Marine...the opening was awesome!..LMAO

[@outdoorssmith5454]

It’s all about the quality of your jumping file and the skill it take to make good jumping in 3 v is incredible

[@BlackScoutSurvival]

If you were wondering what Jedi's carry.

[@atgoh93]

love your videos. always informative and very well done.

[@frankrizzo2348]

I'm wanting to buy a new camping/hiking/survival knife, kind of an all around knife, would this fit the bill for you or do you view this as more of just a survival knife?

[@frankrizzo2348]

Yeah looks like it's a good waiting game on production times, they will have some available eventually lol

[@frankrizzo2348]

Just saw they had the 5.1 go on pre order, I'm sure they'll have some left over when they make a new batch, I bought the cru forge 4.7 since they had it in Stock, can't wait to get it

[@daviddrake3481]

Cerberus Elmax has no flex or lateral strength. I think it would make a terrible survival knife because you really can't abuse it. Edge retention is great and stainless steel is excellent but it is not good for prying or batoning

[@gideonstactical]

Really exited for mine to show up! Thanks for the video my friend.

[@BlackScoutSurvival]

You will enjoy it! Thanks boss

[@ryc3rz]

+gideonstactical Will you be getting the new 7/7 as well in due time?

[@daviddrake3481]

KAMOMI yes, youll get the GSO 7/7 some time around november 2022. dont hold your breath waiting

[@x111-c4f]

It's an amazing knife, I have previous 2014 model of GSO 5.1, the best shave I have ever seen and so many sizes available.

[@leeroyjankins2881]

OH MY GOD THAT START THO😂😂 " We marines are good at three things, math and using knives"😹

[@stone5578]

lol

[@zackally828]

This video was posted around the time I ordered my GSO 5.1, I wonder if I’ll ever get my knife 😂

[@likota123]

Here in Europe it is almost impossible to get one of those. I was lucky to get one a year ago (the old 5.1) and I absolutely love it. Usually I prefer smaller knives but the 5.1 is fantastic. It is my no.1 choice for my survival kit and therefore I chose the CPM3V version.

[@uptrail7169]

The thumbs up with a smile is when I knew that this was going to be a good one. Great Review! Bob

[@grizzlycountry1030]

I remember when I joined the Marines they were claiming to be "The Few The Proud". Now that I've gotten older I've realized that they accept anyone just like the army.

[@SCQT]

Have wanted one of their blades for years, and ended up ordering a 5.1 in Magnacut yesterday. Look forward to getting it out and abusing it. The 8.0 also interests me, but i do kind of wish it was 7in... At some point im just taking the Skrama. The 5.1 seemed like a better representation of the company. Thanks for the look

[@SurvivalLilly]

wow I love this knife :)

[@BlackScoutSurvival]

I do too. Thank you

[@SuperUncleRyan]

+Survival Lilly I would love to see you get this knife. The SRK is nice but this knife is all you. Just don't get one until I get mine ordered. I am so worried this run will run out before I can grab one. Let Dax have the SRK. LOL

[@dancanta8592]

+Survival Lilly This is my next knife from Survive! definitely , they will be available to buy after the new year , but really subscribe to their newsletter , and buy it straight away when they send you e-mail they are available , as they are typically sold out in a couple of hours . Hope to grab mine as soon as they release them . Can`t wait .  +blackscoutsurvival and +Survival Lilly , I really want to thank you for your effort to show us survival techniques as well as best gear reviews . I`m subscribed for your channels for long time . Keep up the good work . Peace !

[@mattmatt0527]

A limited number of GSO-4.7 are available now for Presale.

[@bluegrasssurvival9423]

Thinking about getting a Survive GSO 5.1 Lilly?

[@scottsherman5947]

Oh man, it's so cool to see this vid...I'm expecting my Starter 5.1 in the coming week(s). Mine is in CPM-20CV as well, while I'd imagine most of them were ordered in CPM-3V. And congrats on the success of this channel...you're up to nearly 100K subscribers now - that's great, you deserve it bro!

[@pecanwest]

As soon as they are accepting new orders on this i will have one. Another great video!

[@csh6220]

Great looking knife with quality materials and sheath. One problem though.....I don't have one yet! That tip strength is impressive. I usually cringe when I see a knife being bent over when pulling it out of wood, but that steel can take it, so can cpm 3v. Thanks a bunch for showing it to us.

[@chancefeliciano7]

Would you recommend this for salt water environments if not what would you recommend for a tropical beach type of environment?

[@popenyoung85]

weight wise is it the same and you can't go wrong with any gso

[@deckard9732]

Good vid bro!.. Still waiting on my 7/7 & 4.1... ordered them last frikken year!!.. not hating though.. can't wait to put mine through the paces.

[@COWBOYJDUB]

I always missed out on the orders for these over the years. I've been wanting one since the first prototype, but always was short on $$$ or they sold out. Got one ordered this time, hopefully she will be here soon! Awesome review as always, we share very similar tastes in steel my friend.

[@andreaskarsten8753]

That one looks nice! The longer handle might even fit my size XL hands. I will definitely give it a try when spring comes round

[@tswamp]

Great video. what ferro rod did you use in the video ?

[@warequalsnofuture]

@BlackScoutSurvival - Is this knife also available in Europe? I can't find it online except on the original website. Thx!

[@johnrossi4607]

AWESOME ! I'm waiting on mine now...maybe someone can put a good word for me.... hee hee....I went with the micarta camo. my son saw my Gso's last Xmas and ordered himself a 3.5 for edc and the temecular desert in California. Best survival knives I have ever used ! ..,and that's a long time.like an ar15, everybody needs one ! .....PAPA DUKES

[@miyamotoclan5054]

@BlackScoutSurvival Which one did you like better; Survive GSO series or Winkler II Belt Knife TAD edition?

[@Daddycap13]

I have a 7/7 and a 3.5 ordered to set up in a piggyback system. Do you think the 5.1 or more the 4.7 makes a batter one tool option? Basically finger choil or no finger choil?

[@barkriverbravo1]

Boy it would have been nice to know Guy was doing a 90Deg spine before I ordered mine with the ferrel notch. When I first orderd survive knives I got knives with rounded spines and did not know that I needed to order the notch. Now I will have the opposite problem , I will have notches that I dont need on the 5.1 and prob the 4.7 that I ordered

[@survivalofthefittest409]

Every time I buy a new knife that in my mind has got to be the pinnacle of survival knives...I see another one that might be better..no mystery why I'm always broke now

[@marknarvaez8852]

Sir when u buy one of these knives how long does it take to receive them ?

[@dash8465]

I gave up on these hucksters about two years ago after waiting three... bought a First Edge 5050 in elmax for $210 off amazon and it showed up in two days.

[@OldCootProductReviews]

Great job on the video! Who did the music? Song title? Artist?

[@jjr1028]

whats the name of the song that u used while feild testing this knife?

[@jdright1157]

Just curious, was that one of his pre-orders? If it was, what was the turnaround on that?

[@williamkegley6403]

The intro earned you a thumbs up lol

[@twofootzone]

what type of gloves are those youre wearing?

[@ozcampnhuntdan7858]

Very honest review, looking forward to the 4.7. Keep the great vids coming

[@dougdobkowski]

Any chance you wanna get rid of your old 5.1? I saved up to buy my own, but car repairs swallowed all my knife savings and a bit more.

[@john1972goh]

thks for the video, how you find cpm 20cv n cpm 3v which one holds an edge even better

[@0v417]

That was the GOAT intro haha.

[@chrisxx012]

why did you go with the cpm20cv instead of the CPM 3v?

[@msilverhammer]

Hey Marine, I have the utmost respect for you, and I appreciate your time, as I watch all of your videos, and have gleaned some great information from them. That being said...the knife is very nice looking, and pretty, but just like the Army paratroopers, I'm not sure it can really fight! LOL I did the math on this one, and it looks like a lot ($229) for a knife, when compared to many other knives that will basically perform the same, or better. This is not a criticism, as I would love to own the knife, but us (former Navy Special Warfare) guys on a budget will have to stick with knives from SOG, Condor, CRKT, Cold Steel, Mora, KA-BAR, and Schrade until we are a little richer! Thanks for your time, and have a great day!

[@kevinjones2088]

Been looking at getting one hope to buy xmas. Love the new features. What is the difference between the handles? And what environment would each be more useful.

[@cheaneysaddles]

That is one very tough knife...Thanks for the review. Bruce

[@TheMightybasstone]

fyi everyone Survive knives are preordering these now til MAY 17 th!!! 2019.... Ive been waiting over a year for the preorders.. AWESOME

[@crobwin]

Where can I get an adjustable lanyard like the on on your gso-5.1?

[@CmStormKwosr12]

what would you choose if you where in like wet and little to Cold conditions? Mircarta of G10 handles? thats my only struggle for me. I live in the Netherlands ;-)

[@BlackScoutSurvival]

Micarta

[@CmStormKwosr12]

+BlackScoutSurvival thanks, and what do you prefer, canvas of linnen?

[@BlackScoutSurvival]

Doesn't matter to me.

[@CmStormKwosr12]

oke, thanks mate :)

[@jacksonallen8886]

Aren't you in Al? I am

[@chrisxx012]

would like to see you test out a knife called first edge and to see what you think of it against GSO.

[@raycontego3276]

Why would you use a stainless for a survival knife?

[@oliedwards585]

Have you ever considered reviewing the Fällkniven A1?

[@BlackScoutSurvival]

I'll pick one up and see if we can get a video up. Thanks

[@marksharman8029]

Survive Knives GSO look like they are the knife to own. Production kind of makes them really difficult to get though. Love the 10 ... however would love a 5.1-4.1 ... or somewhere in between.

[@BushOgre]

Just grabbed a new one in a trade. Can't wait to get my hands on it. Jack, you still carry the 5.1 in most of your videos don't you?

[@stevemartin4696]

Sid Organ, this or Gerber? That is like choosing between a Ferrari and a

[@davidbarclay3651]

Very funny intro Jack. I love your videos

[@BlackScoutSurvival]

Thanks boss. I appreciate it

[@mouthofiron]

Do you still like the GSO 7/7? Or do you prefer the 5.1 over the 7/7?

[@Wildsoul62]

I love my 5.1 and the new one looks like it has only improved on what was already a great knife. I put a 90 degree spine on my 5.1 so its good to see that this new one has it already put on it. Out of interest in your opinion has the angle of the cutting edge changed at all or is it the same as your old 5 5.1? Thanks and wishing you a Happy Christmas! a.t.b. vee

[@Skills2survive]

Very nice looking. I hope to get one eventually. Is the blade length the same? It looks a little longer.

[@BlackScoutSurvival]

It's the same brother. Just a longer handle

[@dragonmartijn]

Can we buy the 5.1 soon again? January is at it's end. Thanks for all your hard work.

[@dragonmartijn]

+dragonmartijn Let me correct myself: "8th February" is now on the site.

[@czechmate9591]

Man I've gotta get that knife, thanks for showing

[@vanlurton6068]

Nice review! Why did you choose the 20cv over the 3v for your 5.1?

[@matta8671]

+Van Lurton I'm wondering this as well. Cant decide what would be better. The 20cv seems to stand up to everything. What more does it need to do? With the less of a need for maintenance I'm thinking 20cv is just fine.

[@vanlurton6068]

+Matt A I have a bunch of S!Ks and I believe 3v is the way to go. It's tougher, stays sharper longer and is about the same to sharpen. Yes 3v will stain but it doesn't really pit. Check out the Survive! Knives youtube channel. Guy did a video or two about 3v and how it holds up in the wet.

[@TJackSurvival]

Excellent blade!

[@Lag_TV]

The GSO knives always look great, unfortunately out of my price range but finally someone is making a sort of competing blade of a more budget variety with the Schrade SCHF 52.

[@BlackScoutSurvival]

I don't know if the appropriate word to use is competing. May be a similar style but materials, ergonomics, sharpness which make a knife good or bad are on two completely different scales. I've broken schrades. Never a Survive

[@Lag_TV]

+BlackScoutSurvival That is why I said sort of, similar ideas but totally different price ranges. It comes down to you get what you pay for in the end especially with the higher quality steels with a good heat treat.

[@sherwinpalacio3227]

Beautiful knife!

[@zerotolerance4712]

Love your reviews and the knife but survive makes it so difficult to get the knife I wish I could just buy one but can't it would take like 2 years love the knife looks great

[@bernardoh90]

Hahaha I love your sense of humor.

[@a.a.6132]

BlackScoutSurvival. Thank you for the video. I was looking for one like it. I just received the new production GSO 5.1 CPM-20CV and another one in CPM-3V. How you compare the CPM-20CV to the 3V and other steels? Do you believe it is a good choice for a knife of this size? I am just worried about the toughness but many sources revealed that the toughness is close to 440C SS which is not bad but not as tough as 3V. What I am trying to know is that do you believe the knife is tough enough batoning thick hard wood like 5160 and 3V steels?

[@michaelstjohn6086]

+ARALSHERRI Me too!

[@logan979]

Price ?

[@youareanatural]

I have waited 7 months for mine. Am I being fooled? Did I just give $240 plus to a company that is going to skip the country?

[@leisureops1601]

What are your thoughts on Tops Knives? Compared to say maybe.... Survive!

[@outdoorssmith5454]

All good knives it’s just preference on steels and styles, survive uses 3 v and I like that steel better than tops 1095

[@majormoose6066]

When can I order a 5.1 and how long does it take to get

[@BlackScoutSurvival]

Not sure. I don't sell them

[@daviddrake3481]

Dakota Maxton you place an order for a knife from survive knives expect to receive the knife in no less than two years. terrible wait time not worth the headache

[@the1978Jacob]

can i get this knife in europe?

[@arshanmostafavi9621]

Don’t give your money to survive knives ! I bought a Gso6 in June 2017 , paid $250 for it, it’s now March 2021 and I still havn’t received my knife and after refusing a refund I had to file a complaint with the Better business bureau , which Btw survive knives has a D+ rating with!

[@At-ym2ld]

Great videos man, and quick question what is your opinion on Buck knives and if you've used or reviewed one specifically the Buck Vanguard.

[@gerwinsteenbergen6297]

Looks great!

[@youareanatural]

Maybe not a good idea to strike an ferisiem rod. The edge might develop micro cracks that could propagate, with use. I think that Survive make a great knife.

[@BlackScoutSurvival]

Hell no. Not with a super steel knife like this. Maybe your kitchen knife will do that. Leave the advice and opinions to professionals.

[@estima8tor1]

Beautiful knife, Just what I've been looking for. Unfortunately I don't have $250.00 to spend on a knife.....

[@BIGBAMBOO420187]

CHECK OUT GOUGH CUSTOM KNIVES, ESPECIALLY THE RESOLUTE MK III. ID LIKE TO SEE A REVIEW BUT THERE IS AN 18 MONTH WAITING LIST

[@PREPFORIT]

I will checkout that website Thank you for the review.

[@BlackScoutSurvival]

Thank you

[@Mr81alpo]

Great review as always, well you just answered my question between the gso 6 or martin knives llano, ordering the gso now just wondering what was the wait time for your 5.1?

[@SuperUncleRyan]

+Mr81alpo There should be some available after the New Year. Good Luck. I have been waiting for a while to grab one.

[@dancanta8592]

+Mr81alpo Make sure you subscribe to their newsletter , as they will send you an e-mail when they are available , and you need to order straight away as they are usually sold out in couple of hours .

[@Mr81alpo]

+SuperUncleRyan thanks ill keep an eye out, and good luck to you as well

[@Mr81alpo]

+Dan Canta thanks for the advice I'll have to subscribe just finished my order for the gso6 so now it's just a matter of time..

[@dancanta8592]

+Mr81alpo I already have the gso necker 2 , and pre-ordered 3.5 cpm 20cv , 4.1 cpm3v , gso 7/7 cpm3v and I will grab the 5.1 as soon as they will send me e-mail . Honestly , of you already ordered the 6 , I wouldn't bother the 5.1 , as basically the 6 it's the 5.1 without the finger choil and just 1 inch longer cutting edge , but anyway , if you are a knife freak like me you will have all the models soon . Probably the best increment is 3.5 , 4.1 , 5.1 , ( 7/7 or 8) and 10 , at least for me so I won't order the 6 or 8 as I have the 7/7 already ordered . Good luck with the knife .

[@us24575]

Highly priced, more than TOPS. Any comment?

[@BearHartOutdoorsChannel]

great review! the blade looks excellent! 3 things math and using knives made me laugh out loud!

[@CircaSriYak]

Better than a Ka Bar?

[@SuperUncleRyan]

+CircaSriYak by far.

[@SuperUncleRyan]

+Mermaid Man No way! Maybe if I had to stab an engine block I would prefer the KaBar. :-)

[@CircaSriYak]

Any of you guys used a ka-bar before?

[@jerryarnold2673]

help me out on something u do a vid on a knife dont say how thick it is don't say if it has warranty-most of high end knives do and finally u don't even know where to buy them. Am I missing something?

[@BlackScoutSurvival]

No. Your just a typical dumbass

[@sonfoku73]

+BlackScoutSurvival agreed

[@DenisHauser]

Very nice knife! :)

[@JordanMac79]

Impossible to get ahold of

[@erp123naruto]

[@CircaSriYak]

I just now got what you said at the beginning of the video.

[@SuperUncleRyan]

+CircaSriYak You still waiting on that third thing? LOL :-)

[@CmStormKwosr12]

Very nice vid man! liking your channel very much. Keep doing your vids like this. about the knife, what handle should i take? canvas or G10? iam living in a rainy condision. and is the g10 a little grippy or completely smooth? I realllyyy love this knife, iam searching for the best knife for years now and never found the right one, i thing i just found the right one because of your video ;-)

[@frostysoutdoors4135]

Now that's one nice knife I like it a lot got to get me one

[@bluegrasssurvival9423]

You got great taste in knives Jack. Hows that Andrew Jordan Custom doing BTW?

[@bluegrasssurvival9423]

could you do am esee 6 review

[@TheMightybasstone]

BEST OPENING EVER

[@neddmoulton1]

Great review nice knife man

[@spartanj2957]

Yes I gave up on them to .went to a A1 .

[@southerncross100]

I would love to repeat the tip strength test shown at the start with seasoned Aussie hardwood that wasn't lying on the ground, 'cause the cross batoning shown immediately after had the same tree (possibly a type of conifer with moss at the base) in the background and both the baton & side branch that was being cross batonned was obviously rotten and IMO no test at all of the ruggedness of a knife. LOL IMO any knife that has jimping on the spine immediately next to the handle is a joke because this is the very spot that the thumb of the knife hand can be used to increase the pressure on the blade at the most efficient area for pressure cutting (i.e. close to the handle). This section needs to be rounded rather than be made rougher. Sorry ex-marine, but an essential bushcraft / survival skill that is rarely mentioned on youtube is the ability to see what you are looking at. And what I saw didn't impress me. Mick

[@southerncross100]

***** CPM 3V is a very good steel. Been using it myself for a number of years and as a matter of fact my bushcraft knife is an american custom made in 3V)..

[@ivanlizama1935]

Una línea de cuchillos a otro nivel y de los aseguró

haha loved the intro

[@Michael-Jou]

Good at three things, math and using knives. Haaaa took me a few seconds to make sense
