Thanks for the video Justin. Excellent tip about unlocking the blade to get the pivot lever to lock into place.

It's great for me for the walking staffs I carve. But I waited for it to be on sale. Wasn't shelling out $70 for crap materials just for the Field Strip technology. I got mine on Knife Center for $32. For $70 I could get a nice little MKM, Kizer, Kershaw or whatever with much better materials.

[@brucemcconnell1467]

Thanks for the honest review. I agree with a lot of what you said. The technology is mainly why I got the knives in field strip. In some ways it reminds me of the old Buck Rodgers space ships in movies of the 1930's and '40s.

[@BlueCollarSurvival]

I love the technology! It could be utilized on so many designs in the future. I googled the space ships from Buck Rogers because I'm a little too young lol. I can see what you mean though. Thanks again for the help Bruce.

Cool blade 👍

[@BlueCollarSurvival]

Thanks Steve, I appreciate it brother👍👍👍

[@adamedwards3921]

SHOUTOUT BCS ARMY ! I have both versions of the home front I love everything about it except one thing . When its closed the blade hits the spacer a ruins the edge in one hot spot . And the knife in the review... I still want it lol it's on my list. Anyways justin thanks for the awesome videos brother . Let me know if you would be interested in a trade for it

[@BlueCollarSurvival]

Heck yeah brother love the shout-out! It is a very interesting knife I'm just not one that's into the futuristic types. That's a real shame about the blade hitting the backspace or I wonder if you couldn't send that back to crkt for a replacement or than to fix it you don't. I can't do a trade on this one this is actually a loner I got for my buddy Bruce. Thanks Adam🍻

[@JadeSchafer]

Nice review. The design is interesting.

[@BlueCollarSurvival]

Thanks Jade! It's definitely an out of this world design. I got your package today thank you.

[@jamesortiz5388]

Interesting cutting tool. I just realized you sent 2 BCS stickers. They are quality material as is the shirt. Thanks!

[@BlueCollarSurvival]

It's got a nice utility blade on it. Ya I slipped a few in for ya buddy. Thanks James

[@peterbalames9815]

I have owned this since the week it was released and absolutely love it :-) as far as your taking pictures comment I use this alot everyday no issues and the ergos are really good as everybody's hands are truly different as i am sure you are aware :-0 and you know what they say about opinions :-)

[@BlueCollarSurvival]

yeah you're absolutely right brother it's all opinions. I try to make sure to let everybody know that this is just my opinion I am far from an expert. Not really one for me and just doesn't fit in my hand very well. Thanks for your input on this one Peter🍻

[@leebarker6188]

I couldn't keep my eyes off that heel so happy you mentioned that lol and not a fan of the hole in the blade thanks great review as always!

[@BlueCollarSurvival]

Unsharpened heels should've been on my pet peeves video. Not a knife I could see you carrying Lee. Thanks brother

[@francismartino6890]

Great review man, do you review other knives?

[@BlueCollarSurvival]

I have quite a few other knife reviews on my channel.

[@jeremycrowe234]

I agree, sharpen all the way to the choil. That bugs me to. Transformer gone wrong, lol. I agree!

[@BlueCollarSurvival]

It's such a simple thing but it bugs me. It's very easily avoidable yet they leave it unsharpened... Thanks Jeremy

[@rodneypearson6986]

Yeah not for me but Great Review

[@BlueCollarSurvival]

Oh this definitely isn't for you Rodney I can't even see you holding this knife LOL. Thanks Rodney I appreciate it brother

[@francismartino6890]

Anyone know why this knife is discontinued now in 2021?

[@WhstlblwrBlastingEpsteinsILK]

I don't think it's discontinued. I just got mine on sale for $32 on Knife Center.

[@adamedwards3921]

Crkt needs to up their game on steel upgrading steel especially for what they charge for everything and alot has to do with them putting a designers name on the blade the mark up is ridiculous

[@BlueCollarSurvival]

It's a shame because they used to be one of my favorite companies out there. But with them not stepping up their material game and like you said charging for designer names on the knife it's just not been the same anymore. Thanks Adam I appreciate it brother

[@adamedwards3921]

[@eugenemonica5890]

That knife is not a knife I would buy just ugly great review brother

[@oldfool2635]

Too big for me. Would drag this old fools gym short off, thanks my friend.

[@BlueCollarSurvival]

It is quite a beast. Your gym shorts wouldn't stand a chance then you'd just end up in unnecessary trouble lol. Thanks brother

[@WhstlblwrBlastingEpsteinsILK]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 It's a big mama JAMA. My sweatpants aren't having any issues but my gym shorts will. Then it's going on my MOLLE pack.
