CUDEMAN 299B REVIEW | All round survival knife

A review on the Cudeman 299B as an all round survival knife that can be used for batoning, chopping, carving and dressing game. If you're only taking one tool into the wilderness with you, or you are down to a single item, make sure it has all the capabilities of this knife.
In this video I put the knife through its paces to do a full review and tell you more about our experience with using it in the bush.
This is a serious knife, and a great all in one option if you want to reduce your EDC weight by foregoing a saw or hatchet. Of course it won't outperform those tools on their own territory but it will be more than sufficient to provide for all your needs.
You can buy Cudeman knives through the links below, I can attest that it is absolutely a worthwhile purchase.

Happy Anniversary Sean and Clarise! That is a wonderful gift. The tip of the blade is designed to make a bow drill set with ease. And I see you have been cooking again and left non for me. 😀👍👏🏻

[@LiveReady]

Hi Si! Great input there on the bow drill set. Thanks for your comment! We'll have to put it to work. That steak was amazing by the way! Hope you've been doing well all the way over in the UK. C

[@josemanuelpedrajofernandez4556]

I from spain,you are fantastic.

[@josemartinzezluna3876]

Yo tengo ese con funda de kydex y tambien el mini boina verde y el JJSK2 es una de las marcas que más me gustan 👍

[@champions9082]

That's a really nice blade and a beautiful sheath! And you're absolutely right you don't need to carry nothing else for bushcraft

[@LiveReady]

Hi there! Yes it covers all the bases except if you want to do fine carving. But you won't need a whole bag of hatchets and saws if you carry this knife and gosh does it do a number as a weapon!

[@maritaking2071]

Wow, big knife for a big guy 🔪 Very nice combination of features / utilities!!!

[@LiveReady]

Hi mum! Yup it's Sean's favourite tool. Everything is done with this knife in hand, great to have around! x

[@bradlafferty]

Excellent review! It would be too large for me as well, but I can appreciate its versatility and quality. Thanks!

[@LiveReady]

Hi there! Appreciate your comment. I think I would get a little tired of I used only this knife as a tool all day. But even though it's heavy it wins out over a bag of other tools. They should just sell the boyfriend to carry it around and do all the work with the knife as a package deal ;)

[@bradlafferty]

Ha! Good idea!

[@mcashler2678]

Very nice blade. Your boyfriend is a lucky guy. I have several big blades but tend to stick with smaller knives. The big guys are fun to play with but when detail counts the little blades win out. Great video and thanks for sharing.

[@LiveReady]

Hi Michael. Thanks for your comment and for watching. The big ones are great for play yes. I find it a little heavy for me personally but a wonderful tool to have in case of emergency. For bushcraft and fine carving, like you say, the smaller knives are better.

[@bunyipdan]

What a wonderful aniversary gift, looks like a very capable knife. I tend towards the basic traditional large knife my favorites are Parang Duku Chandong, Australian Army MA Golock, or if I want a tacticool edge it would have to be a Khukri ..... these best suit my enviroment, application and style

[@LiveReady]

Hi there! Those all sound really cool! I'll have to do more research to compare and understand all the differences and applications of what you mentioned better. It's so great to have everyone's favourites and suggestions, luckily we are so spoilt for choice and can pick what we need to use for the day. Thanks for commenting, C

[@somosisraelencristo]

Amazing spanish knife. One in my top 10.

[@stefanvandermerwe7418]

Gelukkige herdenking! Messe is bobaas, ek het juis vandag een mes besigtig. While I am also an avid knife collector, I really like the style and versatility of this knife. As you mentioned, it can be used as a hatchet or for chopping wood; in an emergency. Great knife, that carries my approval. And makes me want one too... 😁🙄

[@LiveReady]

Hallo Stefan! Ja dit is n fantastiese mes. Jy gaan hom so af en toe moet skerp maak maar nie hoef te worry dat hy gaan breek nie. It's got a super tough build! Remember to check the video description for an Amazon link if you feel like shopping. Works just like Takealot. Hope you've been well, C.

[@baron7024]

Great review. Looked them up and they can be had for about 200 US. Would make a great Xmas gift. For me 😁

[@LiveReady]

Hi there! Yes I must say it’s a worthwhile purchase and a great gift to yourself! This knife has been working hard and Sean has even made it part of his EDC. Remember to check the description of the video for Amazon affiliate links, if you do your Xmas shopping through the link a small portion comes to Live Ready, at no extra cost to you ofcourse. Here are the links again and thanks so much for watching!

Hi C, The big knife looks like what we got for mum & dad. Similar anyway, dad has the KaBar & mum got the Esee, they're both big knives. With the pouch that go with the sheath, both mum & dad turn it into a first aid & survival kit. Pretty smart actually. We 3 many times tried to out smart mum & dad (it's fun) but they always seem to be ahead of us. Hmmm... perhaps they've seen more of the world than us. How true.! Cheers mate. Catch you later. Nellei, Nikkei & Rylie.

[@LiveReady]

Hi girls, nice to hear from you! I hope you've been well and keeping safe. There are definitely advantages to the big knives, the smaller ones are great for fine carving but don't work as well for hacking or batoning. Those big knives look pretty mean too. Smart of your parents to make their knives into such multifunctional instruments, thanks for the tip. I'm sure there are plenty of ways you can modify a knife and sheath to carry some extras. Have a great evening, C

Your wellcome,great channel And great job.Congrat.

[@nikolajc7617]

its not a clip point, its a drop point.

[@LiveReady]

Hi there, thanks for noting your comment here. I think what confuses the matter is that the cudeman 299B is not concave at the tip as a clip point usually is. However, the clipped part can actually be quite straight and still classify as a clip point. What generally qualifies it as a clip point is not actually whether it’s straight, convex or concave, but rather the clipped appearance and the narrowing of the spine in the last third of the blade as the it descends to the tip of the blade. Almost like it has been chamfered. Cudeman 299B has both of these characteristics and I suspect that’s why the Cudeman bladesmiths refer to it as a clip point. cudeman.com/en/producto/sku-299-b/ We do sometimes see this clipped look in other blades like drop points too, creating a sort of mix and match style which confuses the qualification of shapes. For a knife to qualify as a drop point blade it needs to remain quite thick at the spine, even to the tip which Cudeman 299B doesn’t. In fact it’s very fine at the tip. The other characteristic of a drop point knife that we don’t see in the 299B is that it has a gentle slope all the way along the spine to the tip. Meaning from the handle to the tip the degree of angulation remains the same. The cudeman 299B straightens into being slightly convex within the first third of the blade, then starts to slope down to the tip. C
