You know what’s hilarious? That Pete had to go up to his wife and say “hey, would you mind recording me chopping at a tree in our backyard while I’m in my bathrobe and then ask me what I’m doing?”

[@shinedown394]

It was candid. He acquired that footage from her phone.

That's the most normal thing he said to her in weeks I'd guess.

[@woodyenfermo]

It's good to see that Brickie has crawled its way thru rock veins to the new Knife Lab, even digivoluting to Rocky

[@StelmansLT]

Interesting thing is this knife which cost 450$ comes from country where minimum wage is less than 500€ (ex. taxes). So basicly it is real SURVIVAL knife. You spend your whole wage to buy a knife and try to survive the whole month with it.

[@monaplysia2853]

A video from Pete and AKB on the same day? And both are excellent and entertaining? That's a good day for sure!

I just got the F1 sized TRC K-1S last week and it’s *chef’s kiss*. Definitely has sold me on the brand and an Apocalypse in the apo finish is on my list of “to get”s.

I would rather use high carbon steel knife for that kind of use. Having chips in a blade that expensive would be kinda heartbreaking. But I respect your willingness to use the knife to the fullest, regardless of the price.

[@airpaprika]

@PaleBlueDot People seem to like Condor Hudson Bay. I would recommend Roselli Large Leuku. Their regular high carbon steel (not UHC) is great, very tough and holds a nice edge. Roselli would be my first choice, even though it is more expensive than Condor. However, it is not in the price range of LT Wright Gen 3 or Bark River Canadian Camp II (I own both of those).

[@NotReallyRicky]

So happy for the new dose of chaotic good that is Pete.

[@solairable]

Elmax, have a love hate relationship with elmax steel. You know, love to hate it, but hate to love it. I make knifes as a hobby, and did a few in elmax, its a pretty brittle steel, definitely not for chopping knifes. The only stainless steel I would make as a survival knife/chopping knife that works is AEB-L or Nitro-V. Tried to chop through a mailbox some weeks ago with a chopper I made with one made in Nitro-v, took a chip, but nothing massive compared to what I did with it. And it works great, in fact AEB-L and those type of stainless steels, are better and tougher then a lot of carbon steels out there. But elmax, last knife I made had to temper it for almost 12 hours, and its a lot less chippy and brittle now. That TRC is thick sauce, and at a knife that size would work as a survival knife, if it was any longer and bigger, then Elmax is a no go for chopping. Its impact resistance is for shit.

[@Robinson.69]

Its all about the heat treatment

[@eliteknowledge7298]

Pete has the best reviews in this field, Being the average knife appreciating man himself, but still experienced enough to give qualified demonstrations and information about all these knifes and steels, just what most of us out here search for and really need!

I didn’t believe in the utility of the towel robe, until my wife bought me one. They are fucking fantastic, warm, comfy, and you don’t need to put on pants! Good choice mate

[@The_Great_Whodini]

Trimming trees how you did in the beginning is how they end up stressed. The short little branches that grow out far below the crown are water sprouts. They are expressed when stressed, and are a warning the tree might not last if conditions dont change. Does it really matter? Eh, your trees will probably be fine. Am I a tool who studies trees? Well, yeah... But you might really enjoy the utility of something like a silky pocketboy for tasks like that

[@Case16710]

It’s probably not the case over there, but here in California, people will pay a lot to take a mature palm tree off you. I know people that have gotten two unsolicited offers of around $10k for the tree in their front yard. Also heard of people stealing trees from public land or while people are on vacation

[@CedricAda]

why in the world anyone would want a palm like this is beyond me!!

[@Case16710]

@@CedricAda I think a lot of commercial buildings (malls, hotels, resorts, etc.) were buying them up around here a few years back, and so the normal supply chain was running out. People want these old ones because they take a long time to grow, and I guess nobody wants to be seen with a short and skinny palm tree. I don’t think normal home owners want them that badly. Also they are out of style here now, since everyone’s doing low water usage, native plant landscaping.

[@anthonyshillingford848]

Disappointing that the scales are not easily replaceable.

[@mityjoeyoung8855]

For around 1/2 the price you can get an LT Wright illuminous 5 in 3-v. It's an indestructible beast I tell you. I just can't bring myself to spend that much although it is nice Pete.

[@gtrul3s387]

A month ago i couldn’t imagine spending that amount on a knife. But i did...sometimes i’m dumb😂 but i’m sure i’ll love it!

[@mityjoeyoung8855]

@@gtrul3s387 you could buy 4 new car tires for your car for that much. No knife is worth that kind of money. My 220 dollar LT Wright illuminous 5 would chop that knife in 2.

[@gtrul3s387]

450$ for car tires is cheap. I put way more on something that important. With that being said. CPM 3V is an AMAZING steel! But it rust and it’s not a careless steel. Elmax is a really good compromise between toughness, edge retention, ease to sharpen and rust resistance(which you don’t have with 3v). I can sell a good maintain knife if ever i’m in need. It doesn’t loses a lot of value, like guns. I know people who spend more than that on drugs and beer in one month so for me it’s not that bad of a decision. And i’d go with bark river instead. Don’t like the look at all of the LT

how is it?

[@brianf9619]

Cold Steel makes the SRK in 2 other steels besides SK5 , and the fit & finish on both of those knives (San Mai and 3V steel) are 10x's better than the SK5 version. In the US the San Mai version is about $120 and the 3V is about $170 and Both are worth the extra money...👍👍

So in conclusion, Beckers are cheaper, easier to sharpen, and do the job just as well or better. Good thing I have 5 of them...just need to get a BK9 now. Plus is, I haven't spent nearly $450 on 5 Beckers... That Apocalypse is a nice knife. I just don't think I could spend that on one fixie. My Beckers are proven beasts...hard to mess with sucess!

I like it, but I just can't get past the idea of a knife that size being made from ELMAX. It usually tends to hold an edge well, but be a bit chippy under hard use. I feel like something like CPM 3V would be a better choice for this style of knife.
