Entrek Destroyer Knife Review

Reviewing the Destroyer by Entrek. A stainless steel beast.

[@topfueljunkie100]

The blade doesn't actually have any coating at all. It IS the bare steel as you preferred. It's just a bead blasted finish so it looks dull as opposed to a shinier satin or polished finish. So the "coating" isn't "scuffed" and you certainly won't ever wear it off! (I hope you didn't try to strip it off, you're gonna be there awhile! Lol!) It's just the wood and plant matter you're cutting that's getting deposited on the blade. It should be able to be cleaned off easily enough. I do agree though, if it were given a high polish, that junk would be deposited on your blade much less and what did get stuck on still would come off even easier. I've been eyeing some Entreks for awhile now and this was one I was primarily interested in so it's nice to see a review on it. Not enough Entrek reviews on KZbin sadly. Great knife and nice review! Thanks for posting!

Love Entrek, some of the best designs around in my opinion and his 440c performs like the best. He will make leather sheaths if you ask! I have his 11 Bravo and I don’t like being without it. His knives are sandblasted, not coated wipe with a sponge and soap and it’ll look good as new. He also offers mirror polish too.

Own several Entreks and they never fail to impress. Ray's heat treat brings 440c to new levels of performance.

I'd love to see this against some other blades like a Junglas, a BK-20 or 9, a TOPS Yacare, a GSO10 or even a Utility Tool UTK0255. Good review btw mate! Subbed

[@WilsonsWild]

That's a good idea. Thanks for the suggestion & thanks for watching.

I bought the Batanga (similar length but tanto point and no curve) from Ray personally at Blade Show 2015. Good day! Had a leather sheath made. His knives are the highest quality.

[@user-db3nf4lr8j]

if you put a string through the sheath holes you can lash the sheath to your leg..wont fall off like that

[@alanw1775]

Nice review. I saw this one going for about $240 on bladehq, i think its def worth it. A custom sheath would be needed for it though, ray ennis puts all his skills into the knife itself i guess. From what ive heard he is a great guy, and id be happy to buy knives from him, they look Awesome.

[@wizard9403]

I agree with you about the sheath. Entrek's sheaths are outright lousy but their knives are tough as hell, sharpen easily and will perform to a very high level! They'll take whatever you can throw at them.

How was the edge when new ? Like would it shave hair

[@user-db3nf4lr8j]

first time i saw it i was thinkin becker brute

[@austinkinder3891]

So they don’t make a leather sheath as of yet?

[@WilsonsWild]

Not that we know of. I think they were going for a waterproof design with this one.

[@austinkinder3891]

Yeah I figured as much. Thanks for the response. Great review.

[@huyquang5014]

Good

[@flashdamingo]

Down the track... Entrek knives will be a valuable commodity. Folks take for granted what's easily available today ...

[@thatrabbit863]

Especially since the maker has now been hospitalized, I imagine the prices are gonna go up.

[@flashdamingo]

That Rabbit Oh No .... I hope Ray's gonna be OK.

[@kirkmillerBO84]

Definitely looks like a destroyer

[@WilsonsWild]

It's a beast of a knife. Thanks for watching.

0:10 like a mini machete? You hack at logs with machetes? Don't think so :)
