Oh a proper survivalist channel.... Like Advanced Knife Bro?... First thing that comes to mind...

[@darichard11]

Obviously. He's advanced, reviews knives. Bonus bro.

[@manhuawang11]

Lol at in teotwawki apparently there will be no natural sized kindling so your only fire option is to baton huge logs with your knife.

[@mattis1600]

Dude, everyone is a survivor until they die. Great vid!

[@KuryakinIllya]

I love your common sense, humorous attitude. Pretty much the way I think about this stuff. Good review of an interesting, well made, but yes, unnecessary knife.

[@madmusial]

This was really cool to see. I have been considering a bigger knife of this style so this video was very well timed for me.

[@Oxirix1207]

Is this a sign that Dickhead Survival is going to be making a recurrence? Those were great, I loved learning about how to dig with a knife, and how to sleep in a hole. Well not really a hole, more of a divot in the ground.

[@deathbyastonishment7930]

It’s just silly, why would you dig with a knife when you have a perfectly good silky saw at hand?

[@J_Dukes]

I really want me a fallkniven modern bowie but they're ridiculously expensive love to see a video on that if you ever get your hands on one Pete great video as always

[@roguesheep1747]

These dudes have nearly every top end knives out there ! and they test them to destruction from chopping bricks in half too hammering them into trees and standing on them ...but they do all the other stuff first m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5DTZHiLjLKZkNE

Thank you so much. I picked up a pm2 maxamet for 153 usd on eBay. They are hard to find and around 200 if you can get one. I enjoy the videos you put out. Its the sense off humor and the enthusiasm for knives you have that make it fun

[@sputumtube]

For those of us who haven't got $423.92 (US) for the Falkniven A2, the cheap and cheerful Condor Moonshiner (1075 Carbon Steel) will do almost everything just as well and at $87.54 (US) it's a bargain. I wrapped tennis racket tape round the handle of mine and now it's even better to use. And the thick, secure leather sheath that comes with it is really nice too.

[@John..18]

Pete! I'm 2 mins in and saw that lovely block of wood / stump. Mannnn if you sand that (will be easy with an electric sander cheap from bunnings) and go to a fine grit. Give it an oil followed by a wax, that thing will make the most beautiful coffee table!!!!!!! Great content in the first 2 mins btw! ha ha

Woah, what time is it in the upside down land? It's almost 2am in Vegas.

[@mforrest1508]

I had a fallkniven a1 pro and a bark river wilderness explorer. I thought I could use the thinner blade for more if I paired it with an axe. But I find I get much better performance feather sticking with my a1. Sold the wilderness explorer. Still looking for something lighter in the 5 inch range. Didn’t live the handle on the s1

[@Yiannis2112]

Lighter than the Wilderness Explorer or the A1Pro? For how much tops? For hunting, camping-survival or bushcraft?

[@mforrest1508]

Yiannis2112 lol lighter than a1. You can’t tell me anything I. Have not already looked at it tried 😂. But I’m thinking barkriver bravo 1.25 drop point. The WE was too slicey.it was card to get feathers, it would just wanna cut right through. I’m also looking at the fallkniven freij the leather stacked vg10 model.

[@doctoordan]

[@deanrakic34]

How high speed low drag are those uggs? They look hella operator to me

[@CedricAda]

[@daeholm]

For me a prime feature in a big survival type knife is price. It needs to be cheap. Something like an SRK that has a very tough steel that you can really wail on and dig holes with and use as a prybar without too much regret.

[@tonycanniffe2360]

Grey Holm Agreed! Skrama for me.

[@CedricAda]

These Kukri house Kukris are probably the apex of that school of thought. Under $100 for 14 inches of 5/16ths thick spring steel

[@757OMG]

[@doughoffart1247]

[@BladeAddict8]

I just wish they would get off vg10 for there larger knives and lower their prices. I can get a bark river in 3v for same price. I love that blade shape though.

[@VicariousReality7]

Our fighter plane pilots do carry the F1.... designed in the city an hour west of me

[@bp-hx9ts]

This vs a jx5 or some other big chopper or a hatchet or small axe

[@d4mdcykey]

I've found the best blade for my outdoor survivalist excursions is a Grutte Pier sword, because...I'm a man...with balls...and a plaid shirt with creases so straight it can fell a forest of trees.

[@sublyme2157]

The A2 lets you take the fight to TEOTWAWKI.

[@mrc2205]

[@natek1993]

Nice Uggs Pete. Only Real Mayrne Wear Uggs.

[@briantlougan810]

The first knife of my knife addiction craze was a Fallkniven A1. Three years ago it was THE "if you could only have one blade" knife to prepare for the end of the world. Paid about $200. Was thrilled for more than a year to own the best production survival knife. Now premium VG-10 is considered mid-range steel. The A-1 is now my #3 of the 3 "if you could only have one blade" knives in my collection. #1 is my recently purchased Bradford Guardian 6 limited edition with M390. A big flaw in the design of these Fallknivens is the lack of a nice choil. The second flaw is the price: ouch! If they were still THE best in class, I'd consider holding my nose and barfing up the premium price. But they no longer are. However, still pretty nice knife porn if it's on someone else's dime. Thanks!

[@timbo4374]

I like big knives but for that much money you might as well go with a 3v Bark River, or for much less, get yourself a CS Trailmaster in 01. VG10 doesn't make sense for what the knife is supposed to do. Even that BK9 is probably a better option..but it does look nice, at least the blade anyway, the handle is meh. Handle is more like the Trailmasters handle. Admittedly, nobody needs a knife that big, but they are fun to play with. I have quite a few in my collection. When I carry one into the woods though, I also carry a smaller more practical knife for my normal tasks..the big beast is for the fun of it. It's a testosterone thing, lol.

[@stuartb9194]

"Need", new concept?

[@ohioknifelover]

Hey Pete

[@desertchild.]

This looks like candidate for DickHead Survival! And I look forward to the head to head against the BK 9 I own the BK 9 and I live in the Sonoran desert.. Truth be told the BK 9 is Overkill for the type of wood I have but dude I cannot see myself without it.. Freaking love that blade!

[@brianf9619]

For years I always liked the shape of the Faulkniven A1/A2 , but I could never understand the price , even today it's still $259.00 on Amazon(USA), that's Bark River money , or you can get a Cold Steel SRK in 3V for about $140.00 or the San Mai for $102.00. Or you can just ask Survival Lilly which knife she prefers ( Sorry Pete , I had to say it). For outdoor camp or survival , I would take the BK9 all day , but that's just me . P.S. I still love the channel though Pete , and still waiting for more Dick Head Survival , lol ...

[@jovanvojnovic194]

VG-10 isn't allowed to be exported under japanese law. So the Blades have to be made in Japan. These Blanks have to be transported to Sweden in order to be finished. So add customs and shipping. THEN add the work on it in Sweden. Don't forget the shipping and all the other following cost when the finished knives have to be delivered to the Dealers. So it's rather the legal situation in regard to the steel, that makes them so expensive!

[@MikeUman]

Hard to go wrong with the A2. It's right in that size niche where it makes for a good jack-of-all-trades kind of knife.

[@mrbeaulo5817]

[@randallkelley3599]

$400 + American! Buy a Cold Steel for 1/2 price! And buy a small hatchet to chop.....Brain idea-have a chop off between this blade and the hatchet you compared it to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@shadowdance4666]

Call me crazy but, for something that size I’d go with 1095. A real hack and slash knife

[@neilblackman2965]

Yeah you got one...lol..

[@Brewhound77]

Lynn Thompson told me that I need as big a knife as possible so i can kill a charging elephant and skin it in one careful blow, with the correct footwork of course. I usually just skin mice but it's a comfort to have the capability a large blade offers. Praise Lynn amen.

[@kevinAuman1]

When all hell comes loose I am grabbing my bark river JX5 in cpm 3V and either my bark river cub in 3V or my Aurora in 3V both have a fire steel attached... In my pocket, will be manix 2 in maxamet and on my belt or in a bag my swiss champ or leatherman, lol I should just about have any task covered with that assortment of knives/tools.... Man whoever happens upon the rest of my collection of knives is sure going to be a happy camper tho lol

[@barrybueler3356]

A sharp spine isn’t just for fire rods you can scrap wood fibers for fires and debarking instead of dulling your edge I’m sure you know this and just act stupid but who knows.

[@torpilo]

Fallkniven's VG-10 is crap. Microchips from barely frozen small twigs..

[@Surago]

I've never used it but that's the consensus.

[@thewanderingtaff8667]

I had the same problem with the edge from the factory but after sharpening it myself it doesn't chip anymore.

[@CedricAda]

interesting, its very unlikely to meet the cold here, i wonder why they persist with it if thats the consensus. I guess they are moving into Lam CoS in their newer models for a good reason!

[@torpilo]

@@CedricAda The steel is not the toughest anyway, and they also put a micro V-edge from factory, which ofc is weaker than a convex. My factory edge Endura, also VG-10, but an even smaller edge angle (i think), didn't have any problems in same situation ( minus 2-3 °C ~ 27 °F )
