Survive! Knife GSO 4.7 Review and Hard Use Test! Chopping , Batoning, Cutting Veggies

[@ORflycaster]

"The numbers correspond to either the wait time in years or the blade length in inches." It's irreverent lines like THAT which keep me coming back to your videos. Pure gold!! I'd love to own a mid-sized Survive knife like the 4.7, but I don't have the patience for the "wait time of a custom knife in a production knife." More pure gold. And in the 80 seconds of this fantastic review!

[@whiterock1865]

Yeah that was funny! I have two on order so we'll see if all those promises come to pass now they're making most stuff themselves.

[@dlrmon1]

Give it a few years and you’ll start seeing the Same MO...An 11 year old Kick Starter program that still can’t get there S#!t together. Every year it’s the same pattern. All kinds of promises that never happen followed by excuses that are never their fault.

[@EverythingN.Nothing]

Bell pepper batonning. I've seen it all now.

[@vincef7487]

That blade coating showed NO SIGN OF WEAR FROM ALL THAT BATONNING! WOW!

[@pstaehlin]

Batoning with a pickle. Now THAT'S a first! :-)

[@garethbaus5471]

I don't think that cucumber has been pickled.

[@sv352]

A raw pickle?

[@GutiTheJ]

Your commentary has gotten better and better man, never a dull moment lol, good to see you grow so much over the last year

[@rainmayhem4255]

You batoning with the pickle had me rolling👍

[@ryanbrooks1702]

RAIN MAYHEM you're a pickle

[@cannoncottle]

This is my new favorite knife youtube channel. Good reviews with humorous/self deprecating commentary

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Thanks man!

[@SantiagoMenendez]

IMHO sabre, scandi or full height grind refers to the tallness of the bevel. Flat, convex, hollow, chisel or any mix, refers to the shape of the bevel.

[@FargoFX]

Who wouldn’t pay to see a meatloaf review? Come on, you have to go with the money is.

[@timbo4374]

I am impressed by the way it blasted through that pepper with only a small cucumber for a baton..I;m sold! Where can I sign up to wait a year to be told I finally made it to the wait list and now should only have to wait another year before I get it?

[@MrBoomie00]

Nah bro, 3 year minimum. I just had my 3 year anniversary this October for my GSO 10 order. I fully expect to wait another year.

[@Chamdar17]

@@MrBoomie00 GSO 10? Those suckers only just got cut into blanks, WAY back in the production line-up, I'd guess June 2020 is the earliest any get shipped... that may be optimistic. I have one on order as well. I am sure it'll kick ass, but it's been a long wait. *shrug*

[@NickElliottOutdoors]

How are you not getting more views?!?! Love your vids man!

[@JohnHolliday1911]

Lol, were you batoning a pepper with….a pickle? The baton life is strong with you! Great video man.

[@IndianaTony]

I like that you doubled up on the cutting boards in case the pickle batoning got out of control.

[@GaryHorn]

The grind looks nice, Mr. AdvancedKnifeBro.

[@georgehicks843]

4 years into production and the GSO 7/7 is still not done. May 2016 the GSO 5.1 orders were taken on a 48 hr last chance sale and guess what they have not even started. Since that time they have added new knife line called the Sk line and they are not even started but they created new designs and new give me money lines. Order from them and a pickle is all you will need to snap.

[@kiwi_comanche]

Haven't enjoyed a review this much in a good while. Outstanding effort, Advanced knife bro.

[@FargoFX]

Advanced Zima Bro! 👍

[@gradydyck519]

Advanced Meatloaf Bro

[@richardelliott9511]

For "not the right coating" it held up pretty well during your revue. Lol

[@riverrunner23]

'Advanced meatloaf bro'. Bahaha, funny stuff.

[@knifenut6772]

Great video brother. Love my Survive GSO 4.1. Long wait. Was not thrilled about giving them all of the money up front, and waiting a year and a half (it seems to me they have no incentive at that point to get your knife done). Poor business practice I would say. Great knives, if you don't mind being ignored.

[@warpedone2]

Bonus Saturday video!! !! !! Hell yeah~ keepem coming

[@harryhorwitz7225]

A cucumber?! Get a damn carrot... Kitchen survival rule #837.

[@J.T.Stillwell3]

That intro gave me flash backs to boot camp. My drill sergeant used to say “weak little babies, not motivated, wah wah wah, milk and cookies, need my blankey, wah wah wah, wah wah wah.” as we did pushups. He never called us pukes though.

[@FargoFX]

I-Theist me too! And I didn’t even go.

[@starkparker16]

C081!

[@J.T.Stillwell3]

FargoFX that’s what ye get for watching “full metal jacket”.

[@nandayane]

Advanced Zima Bro, that’s my type of Channel!

[@TheGfhicks]

Yes wait time is now around 4 years but fanboys will tell you that a 5 year wait is a value for what you get. I am glad that the pickle did not damage the 3V. I ordered a 5.1 and 3 years later they have not even started 8 years from now it would get here but no I will get something else.

[@shamitoson]

The line about wait time is so true. I have a GSO 4.7 that took about 2 years to receive. By the time I got it I wished I ordered another LT Wright. LTs knives feel like they were truly handcrafted. The GSO is like it was made by lasers and has never been touched by human hands. It's a great knife, just...sterile. Also, for the life I can't figure out why it takes so long. Every knife they make is exactly the same, the only difference is size and whether or not it has a useless waist of blade length(aka choil). I also convexed mine immediately, the lazy V-edge they put on them is wicked sharp for cutting paper or shaving arm hair, but bounces off wood if you try to use it as a woods blade. Keep up the good videos! I'll create 12 dummy accounts and subscribe from all of them. Just so one day I may get to see that meatloaf channel.

[@ocomegashadowstacking5886]

Awesome video!!!

[@myklegaynor9211]

Can you link the Zima video? Date night is coming up real soon, and I want something better than Opera to watch with my wife.

[@schlooonginator1227]

Just got a pleasant surprise in the mail today, my Survive! 3.5. See, the story goes I was up one night late buzzed on Nyquil looking to scratch a knife itch and saw that S! had factory seconds of the 3.5 available, so I pulled the trigger with the promice of a lengthy 3 month turn around. Apparently the Nyquil was especially strong as I vaguely recalled having made the order and it had been well past the already ridiculous wait time but nowhere could I find any trace or prooving that my order went through. Usually theres a confirmation email but I had nothing. Huh, I thought, must have either chickened out at the confirm order stage or perhaps a wireless connection fail, I could not recall so I dropped the subject altogether. Then today, thinking a headphone part arrived early, I was shocked to find my Survive! knife had come, some 9 plus months later! I should be pissed but its kinda like an early Xmas gift.

[@dlrmon1]

Lol...If you’re video ends up being the best thing I get out of Survive Knives...it was worth it!

[@WhispyWoods.]

Excellent review, Zima Bro! I'm glad you got your hands on a GSO. I believe it has FDE Cerakote. Also sabre grind is pronounced SAH-bray, please get it right next time.

[@OUTDOORS55]

A sabre grind is simply a high scandi 🤔 Great review bro👍

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Well the AG Russel definition seems to Think there could be more nuance.

[@huejanus5505]

OUTDOORS55 Or is a high scandi with secondary bevel just a sabre?

[@LCO213]

Mike Stewart from Bark River knives says modern Scandi grinds aren’t even correct...and theres “not really such a thing as a Scandi grind.” Historic Scandinavian knives are more saber-convex and without the crisp bevel line. Makes sense to me if you’re sharpening knives on stones and not a belt grinder with a bevel jig.

[@RazzerKrull]

Cucumber batoning... Beautiful

[@seanb6986]

btw the Fällkniven has a v-edge micro bevel, so you can sharpen it like you normally would. Just place the spine on the sharpening stone, lift it until the shadow under the apex disappears, then you’ll end up with the correct edge angle.

[@0zmosis2001]

you damn right who doesn't like a good meatloaf review you have my vote! taking comment space aside I still enjoy your videos providing unbiased reviews on your products thanks for not selling out

[@bach5780]

I'm pretty stoked for comedy meatloaf videos.

[@garibaldistiglitz226]

Great review as usual! 👍😄

[@DG__3]

Love the handle contours.

[@Slitthroat1776]

Great video as always

[@arizonapancake349]

So what you are saying about me watching the video, is I am apart of an exceedingly rare elite group of people who subscribed and watches videos. Sick.

[@lorindevries1432]

I have been waiting for my gso10 since 2015.

[@MartinLeschinski]

Love the veggie batoning Part! Made my day!

[@WeTheArmed]

Man, can't wait for the Buck 119, and the meatloaf review!

[@stefanwolf88]

Had a custom in this steel. Good stuff. From the video I see good quality and proportions but too thick stock. The steel can handle 2.5-3 mm just fine dropping the behind edge thickness at least twice. As usual - outstanding job on the video.

[@johnbowers9547]

Cucumber batoning awesome.

[@49giants3]

Hey I might be 1percent, but I watch 97.3 percent of your videos

[@Jenjo21701]

Love the meatloaf comment. My thoughts exactly. The wait times from survive knives is whats held me off getting one.

[@Chamdar17]

Unless you really really want a specific model, holding off from placing a pre-order is a good idea. BUT they do show up on the secondary market, so just keep your eyes open if you want to try one without having to wait. I've tried almost every model they've made, the 4.7 is a nice knife. But those are out of production, and I don't think the CruV version will ever be made again... *shrug* They recently had some GSO 3.5's for sale, "seconds", which sold out quick and folk have reported receiving them in

[@kennywheelus6857]

Are you going to do a review on pks knives in the future maybe

[@vegetakijohnson4792]

how you don't have millions of subs by now is scary. most of Society would rather watch cat videos than a funny ass bro with a badass blade doing knife stuff.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I wish I had 100k even!

[@davidaxman]

Which Patreon (Patreone?) level is the one where you get to follow you home from the store?

[@jmunsamy]

Thank you for showing me that batoning is a skill that can be applied to maybe aspects of ones life, lol love it!

[@LarsRibe]

Friend of mine has one of these (money is not really an issue for him I guess) It's definitely a cool knife, but I almost always go for something classic or bushcrafty. Looking forward to that Buck 119 review. I'm considering the smaller Woodsman but I'll save the money and hope to get my hands on a Buck 112 Auto! .. Hi, I'm Lars and I'm a knife addict.

[@sirsir9665]

Late to the party. Kind of annoyed they changed this design for the new production batch of 4.7s coming this year. The best thing about this knife was the short thick blade. Now the new production is longer and thin.

[@maxwell2.2]

Yeah i ordered one before i knew this but i am looking forward to the thinner bevel.

[@ConcreteTurtle]

Next level vegetable batoning, love it!

[@NewZonaRides]

I love watching ridiculas knives cutting fruit and veggies. I can't speak for everyone but I am in it for your poking nipples myself. That for me is worth my Patreon donation. I suggest others get on board.

[@raycontego3276]

I’m interested in what type of selvedge denims you wear

[@jeremywang9148]

your videos are always fun to watch, and make my day. However I always ended up forgot what’s the real commends on those knives 😂. So this one, would you pick survive over Esee anytime?

[@don0giorgio]

My beard just grew a few inches more after the intro

[@Elrond_Hubbard1]

These knives are like Jeeps, 95% won't sniff the rugged outdoors.

[@garethbaus5471]

It is hard to take most cars to the places I associate with the rugged outdoors.

[@DG__3]

According to TOPS knives the Scandi is a true scandi with a secondary bevel. P.S. They're wrong.

[@fischeswa-9]

Hilarious review - thanks for mentioning the "fan boys" they are a thang. Please review some meatloaf! Also Duchesse De Bourgogne is a flemish red ale you should also review. Cheers!

[@jonathansuryadinata462]

Great video as always! Btw you should try Bradford Knives, I think you'll like them

[@oldmanstoner4153]

Can't say I like the knife that much but the video was rather crude an funny. Give you that!

[@michaelvalentine782]

Today's special is meatloaf, with pickle-batoned bell pepper, and a nice ketchup skin mask.

[@Brandon_Sweeney]

Great video

[@f22shift]

I guess I’m gonna be “that guy”. Yeah their forum was taken down because of their business practices. They still owe my friend 4 knives. I think if more people order from them, he may get them in a few years who knows. 🤣 Funny though they now use millit as promotion piece. Millit is sketchy not in terms of quality but business practices and more or less slow to deliver which is funny because that would match Survive...they earned their reputation. Personally I have no bad experience with Survive because I was warned back in 2015. I did have a bad experience with Millit. Oh well I almost felt the forum closing helped them. When my other friend was tired waiting years for his knife, he initiated the refund but waited weeks until he was fed up and posted publicly. That push them to refund immediately. I’m not sure how you can pressure them now. I have tried one before and it’s a survival knife which means it’s meant as a one knife option. Jack of all trades. Master of none. Should I say jack off instead. Would be more accurate. Your humor must be rubbing off. How did I get to play with one? Both of my friends own 1 each from way back when. So anywho you all want to help my friend out ? Buy some of their stuff ? Some speculated today’s buyers are funding yesterday’s order. Do I feel bad for my friend? I dunno when I’m thinking about him showing his new Rolex Sea Dweller. He’s not gonna lose sleep. Actually maybe I should pick up one as well. Tickles me to wear a diver watch when I can’t swim. 🤣

[@Pew7070]

f22shift Funny how not all social media is garbage. Some times certain hidden aspects of knife reality get to the light. And I like that! 👍🏻

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Be that guy man! I saw that Milit instagram drama recently between them and another maker, whom I forget now. I didn't spend too much time in the forum itself. I might look for a scratch and dent, but probably won't buy one. Thanks for the info!

[@alittleolder]

Great Video. I don't feel the need to own a big a*s fixed blade.. I am sure I will buy one at some point. You sure make it look fun.

[@Cociobladereviews]

"Asshole with a sharpmaker" 😂😂😂

[@MrRayjay22]

I have a 4.7 if your interested. Been trying to sell it for a while but not alotta people know about these surprisingly.

[@mityjoeyoung8855]

Would you like to review a LT Wright illuminous 5 in 3-v ?

[@barry394139]

You gotta review Cold Steel Luzon 6'' in a hard use test

[@Bushcraftandknives]

LMAO! Another entertaining and highly informative review! Thanks from a true scandinavian with a swell on the middle. 😁

[@arizonapancake349]

Ted Cruz and nipple comment lol lost it on both of those. Great vid. Thanks.

[@dwaynewallace9265]

Have you ever tested a dark timber

[@SingleMaltSmash]

"saber grind" refers to the height of the primary grind and is used when it isn't full height (not all the way up the spine). The term has nothing to do with the secondary bevel nor the apex. Saber grinds can be convex, flat, hollow, or zero ground (aka scandi grinds, scandivex, etc). We call these plunge grinds when we are grinding blades beveled out, and to my eye they are just unfinished full flat grinds that get hardened, tempered, and finished. These grinds are effective at wedging material tho, esp useful in wood carving. Best to look at whether the height of the primary bevel is full or partial, (to the spine or not) then flat/hollow/convex, then whether or not there is a secondary bevel before the edge (zero grind or not). I avoid words like saber grind, and prefer: ie: a kabar usmc has a mid height, flat ground blade with a secondary bevel and a fuller. Secondary bevels (the shiny bit behind the edge) further complicate this, as they can be flat, or convex as well, depending on the tension on a belt (slack belt finishing makes a convex, for ex) during finishing. Hope this helps

[@Phil-S8]

Not full tang - just sorta tang 😊

The S2 is solid and well-balanced but I haven't actually used it yet and meatloaf is enedible.

[@vorskin1112]

lmao fun fact partnering with millet actually fucked them over even harder. They are their own manufacturer now and have produced more knives in these few months than the entire time with millet

Yes

[@Liv1ngTheDream]

Was going to rag on the steel/price ratio but 52100 is a fine steel. Each to their own. Ontario Old Hickory series might be good for a cheap review.

[@FargoFX]

How dare you spend less than $200 on a knife?

[@bp-hx9ts]

FargoFX yess for a knife to even be usable it simply must be over 600 dollars and that’s just far to budget for me most common peasants need to take a 2nd mortgage on there house to afford the knives I buy

[@johnsmithfakename8422]

"Cru Forve V" (It is not Cru Forge 5) Is a steel that did not get the attention it deserves. And I consider that to be one of the greatest shames to the knife industry.
