BUCK/TOPS CSAR-T (Combat Search & Rescue Tool)...

[@foldenauerm]

This is an extremely well made product review video. I appreciate the level of knowledge and detail that you go into with your review. Other videographers spend a lot of time saying "I don't know", but you don't engage any topic you aren't prepared for. Well done.

[@mixflip]

I really liked this review. I love knives that are built tough and are not seen on every youtube top 5 list. Every knife reviewer usually shows a Sebenza, a Strider, an Emerson, a Spyderco and a Kershaw. If I could find this knife for $100 like you did...I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

[@EnduringEagle]

I have owned this knife since the day it came out as I am an avid TOPS user. I own SOG vulcans, Zero Tolerance, Cold Steel and Strider. This is absolutely the best and toughest knife I own bar none. Best $85 I ever spent on a knife.

[@SailfishSoundSystem]

The Rocky Mountain tread is an optional feature on a lot of TOPS Knives, not Buck. Nice blade. Looks pretty heavy duty.

[@GunsKnivesSurvival]

I love the blade shape.

[@pythagoreios07]

ATS 34 Steel - This steel is very similar to 154 CM. It has 1.05% carbon. It is also one of those classified in the super category. There are lots of high-end custom knives that use this steel.

[@Commando0333]

Awesome knife dude. I just ordered mine yesterday. I also found the buck tool in a bunch of sites. Can't wait till it comes in.

[@trijigon]

Thanks for doing this one, JT.

[@nathan61984]

Looks like some normal exchangeable screwdriver bits might fit in the "lanyard hole"

[@805coach]

First of all let me say your bids are great keep them going very informative , I have looking for this knife and I have noticed there a couple variations of this model, could you help and let me know which one is the better one , thank you. Rudy

[@chbclark]

Hey JT, does the "Hex Driver" fit standard hex bits that would go in a screw gun? If that were the case, you wouldn't need additional Buck brand bits you could use any standard hex bits and expand the knife's versatility through the roof.

[@ArtistBlade1972]

Is that hex hole 1/4"? If so it'll accept most any 1/4" drive hex bit. That's a cool accessory except for the fact that you'd have to carry all the bits lose unless there is a place in the case for them?

[@LyfestyleHobby]

Accessories are on e-bay.. great knife man!

[@faithofjudas]

When you talked about the 'swedge' I really wanted to watch Deadwood...

[@INFIDELxSTRONG]

that is a damn nice knife. i like the sheath that comes with it as well. i had to put that on the list of knives to get. good stuff bro.

[@805coach]

Thanks JT , I'm just going with the one from your video, now try to find a dealer so i can look at it person so far no luck. Rudy

[@rickpayne90]

love those beefy blades, cool knife JT

[@ironlungdtoker]

wut would u call the lock on that , its not a fram lock clearly , but since theres a liner on that side all redy its not rele a liner lock ether , , looks like a good design for sure

[@mistersmith3986]

This knife also comes in a 154CM version too.

[@nEiffelTower]

It is a BIG hunk of steel! I held one and it seems more like a pry-bar than a knife.

[@elira67]

Another great review JT...

[@relicen1]

The bits can be found by searching knifecenter for csar.

[@HeartofTexasArmory]

That is one heavy duty knife right there.

[@davesanders8114]

I bought one of these when they originally came out somebody stole it on me but they did come with a excessive tool kit that came with a hex drive and multi tools it was a very impressive and sturdy blade

[@ArtistBlade1972]

@GMGvanS No problem. I hate 154cm, especially by benchmade. I firmly believe ATS-34 to be one of the absolute best stainless steels available for folder applications. Heat treating is far more important than steel type however. An inferior alloy with top shelf heat treat will consistently out-perform the best steel with mediocre HT. If you can get a spyderco in ATS-34 you will be very pleased. They have totally mastered heat treating that steel.

[@belzach]

this knife looks good for a rescue tool but how good do you think it works as a combat knife or defenseive knife??

[@GunznGear]

Nice review! That knife looks like it's tank tough!!! Thanks for sharing

[@trijigon]

@HELLZZARMY I have another question if you got the time. If you had to choose between this and the SOG Vulcan, which would you choose for overall durability and function as a knife to deploy to theater with? (i can't get a hands on look where i am)

[@sturmgewehr70]

Great knife bro! I bought one the week they were released.. Solid feeling knife!

[@ArtistBlade1972]

@GMGvanS ATS-34 has almost the exact chemistry as 154CM. 154CM was made to be the american version of the japanese ATS-34. I think ATS-34 is superior because in practical application it will take and hold a much keener edge.

[@424chuckles]

@JT on new grahm it shows it with a much worse sheath idk if it will come with that one or htey downgraded the quality of sheath i think that the sheath is a big selling point hopefully they didnt cause it may be a deal breaker

[@Iant800]

sweet blade JT

[@EasternGateGuardian]

the blade itself as holes to accommodate something called an ''oxygen wrench''...never found out what that would be...

[@Jackyrick99]

what is your maxnifier ? how much is it ?

[@trijigon]

@HELLZZARMY Thanks again. Looks like I'm just gonna have to buy both!

[@slit555]

...More like search and destroy! I love those broad tantos!

[@machinegun911]

why is it a search and reascue tool when its just an over weight folder? I could carry a Spyderco Delica and a blackhawk reascue tool for the same weight with more capability. but thats just my take

[@DiamondJo]

I have seen the two holes and the slot in the blade on a few knives, anybody know what they are for (lashing to a spear is all i can think of)

[@Rudemustang1]

alittle something different for the the steel nuts

[@ravin747]

Have one ,Its a knife not for wimps

[@69Camaro991]

for the hex bits look on smkw.com

[@dawudbish3860]

Great blade for prying doors. Hook and safe blade for cutting clothes or stapping. Glass breaker. CS&R. Could have did without the hex.

[@davidjanuszewski5020]

Your comment about "Why they call it a 'TOOL' not a knife.. There are no laws against 'TOOLS', so in a court-senario the owner/user of the 'TOOL' is not violating any law concerning/against 'Knives/weapons'... If the Owner/user admits/presents it's a 'Knife/weapon', then the laws applicable to 'Knives/weapons' kicks in... It is VERY important to present a 'TOOL' as a tool, not create a legal-black-hole to be swallowed-up in by mis representing the original intent of a 'TOOL' as established..

[@tactical2bagpipes]

3/16 inch thick NOT 5/16. 5/16 is over 1/4 inch thick.

[@lucarossi8442]

3/4 of your video is out of focus...

[@K0Wftw]

Wish i could find a knife that sell for 'lol' dollars

[@RealBushMonkey]

nice vid and nice knife,but the idea of a hunting/fishing magazine calling a thick,heavey,double lined,folding knife with a tanto tip as the best of the best is so incredibly absurd that it makes me wonder who payed for the endorsement or the IQ of the staff that voted for it....ridiculas,i bet you couldn't pay a knife savy hunter to use that on fish or game

[@RealBushMonkey]

i didnt put up a vid telling people what is the best of the best spelling ...since im on a phone especially. But, a spelling diss?....prity week mi frend...
