Kershaw Natrix Knife Review- New for 2018 Carbon Fiber and G10. Based on ZT 0770

[@Fiddleback]

Bought this knife for myself last Christmas based on your review. I've enjoyed it immensely. Thanks!

[@I0nlyRunFactory]

Watched it all the way to end so I could see you get it back out of that log. Worth. every. second.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

That was real time problem solving. I was like how the fuck do I get this out. Then I paniced because I didn't know what was wrong at first.. and hadn't gotten all of my shots yet. The I realized that Kershaw would probably hate me- because of a dumb reason. I found it early this morning, got it back together and everything is fine. Just fine.

[@sunshyn21]

Bro solid ten min vid! I waste my life researching magnet fishing videos and day dreaming about finding leatherman's in my local ponds...

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

That sounds fun!

[@Chris-dx4mf]

Love me a Kershaw beater knife. Thx for the comedic yet informative reviews.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

All my knives are beaters.

[@scotteger6271]

Good job channeling Lynn and finding that stop pin for no doubt more batoning

[@FordHarbor]

Please give us a sweet video on those safety flip flops! Duel batoning made this video a sure winner. Thanks for your videos, they are awesome.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I was batoning with them on too. No safety glasses and flip flops. The AKB channel is not OSHA compliant.

[@Outpost_76]

Great extended baton sequence

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

It needed to be done.

[@AnthonySmith-sc4zs]

I think I’d still rather have a Tenacious mainly because of the thumb ramp. It’s the knife that twisted my arm into buying a Paramilitary 2 and therefore a choice I didn’t regret. Thank you for producing the best and least annoying knife reviews. The same can’t be said about nick shabazz ‘s voice.

[@mklein5179]

I feel like you really opened up on this video. I like that.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I cut the part out where I compared student loan servicers to dog kickers.

[@mklein5179]

Advanced Knife Bro let’s not drag the dog kickers into this It’s an honest living. I wonder what happens in that big beautiful grapefruit of yours

[@MichaelTravis12c27]

I just did a write up for the Natrix Copper and the Bareknuckle for some upcoming magazine articles. Kershaw said they were sending samples when they were ready. I like the design so I’m excited to try them for myself.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I've been looking forward to the bare knuckle for a while. What magazine did you write for again?

[@MichaelTravis12c27]

Advanced Knife Bro American Survival Guide and Backwoods Survival Guide. I have a few articles in the ASG Gear Guide edition that should be out now and a sharpening article in the current issue of BSG.

[@BurnedTrashcan]

Yet another satisfying video. Keep it up, man. 🤙

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Thanks dude!

[@chadfulton71]

I always love a Lynn Thompson reference. Especially a dress shirt, tie and pig head reference. In a somewhat non related note, it's odd that the Natrix Copper didn't release on time. They make about 27 variants of the Natrix so you would think they would have the process down.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Yeah... must be product issues. Maybe the Chinese Copper had to much 8CR in it.

[@outofstab6854]

The last flip was great.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Thanks!

[@outofstab6854]

Advanced Knife Bro Honour to whom honour is due.

[@johnadams8393]

Is the blood canal that smart on a blade shape like that?

[@MichaelSeneschal]

Nice... if you've been out of college for 16 years you're about the same age as me (give or take a year). College courses for anything to do with video editing (on the computer) were called "Multimedia". Those were the days when submitting a video for homework resulted in an automatic A, because making videos were a mystery to instructors back then.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

39 this year!

[@llemmon]

Thee most entertaining knife review vids, awesome.

[@ntstick06]

Lynn Thompson comment was top notch!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Or Lord and tactical savior.

[@ntstick06]

Advanced Knife Bro Cold Steel the only knife that comes with AUS 8 steel and a bounty hunter license!

[@tonycanniffe2360]

Read Grisham’s ‘The Rooster Bar’ Student loans feature. At 5:20 I wondered how you were gonna get to 10 mins. Advanced batoning to the rescue!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I didn't either until the incident...I had to make a few changes to the voiceover

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Video was originally only about 8 and a half minutes.

[@davidcoats1037]

“Personal responsibility. That thing you wish everyone else would take” AKB 😂🤣😂

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

It's true!

[@metalevon]

The end of this one freaking killed me. As always I love you.😘

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

When batoning goes wrong!

[@LCO213]

Love the blade shape on this one.

[@modernarnis4867]

You have quite the swagger their sir...an advanced swagger...

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

advanced Out of Focus Bro

[@Damen0530]

Cool...always wondering for the landscape

[@johnadams8393]

Loved that baton destruction btw.

[@bumstudios8817]

What its not really m390?

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Does it look like M390 to you???

[@bumstudios8817]

Advanced Knife Bro ok ok.. so my cheap Chinese knifes are not really m390... whats next your going to tell me it didnt really come off hinderer's grinder for the $20 i spent on it...or the toothfairy isnt real! Nooooooooooooooo

[@warpedone2]

Love my Rainbow 1660vib by Kershaw... but hate this kershaw knife in the video~ great videos keep em coming

[@gregtomamichel973]

How do rescue a knife broken from batoning? Baton with your other knife, of course.

[@unklecorky2181]

so if you had to choose between the speed safe natrix and this one you'd choose the newer unassisted model? Doesn't this perform just as well as an assisted? Most of my unassisted CRKT knifes need the wrist flick to open properly which I'm not crazy about.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I don't need it on this one. I don't like that speed safes require the harder initial force to deploy... that is more fatiguing during fidgeting than a nice ball bearing flipper with a poppy detent.

[@zedx6362]

Haha always a pleasure to watch your videos.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Thank you!

[@akmjolnir-v4r]

Did you get the pin-finding moment on camera?

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

No I found it this morning with a headlamp and a magnet. I shot the part where I lost it last night.

[@ritheahong8742]

All I can say about this video is "... it was beautiful like the Tactical Book of Revelation"

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Thank you!

[@SteveKluver]

Thanks Bro. Greatest Blue Ribbon Videos, since 1844! Isn't this Natrix, the one we're expecting to come in copper, soon?

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Yep- I don't know when, but it's coming.

[@pieman7]

OK, so what's your preferred carry for pant-less? THanks for another entertaining and lock-failing review. Good to know this Kershaw can rebound quickly!

[@Chris-dx4mf]

Are the screws captive or just the pivot?

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Is that a screw that screws into another screw? the pivot is and some of the others screw into the backspacer.

[@Chris-dx4mf]

Well you see I tried to Disassemble my Kershaw link and the screws would freely spin on the back spacer because they weren’t captive (stuck into the handle scales) and the weren’t tooled for me to use 2 screwdrivers on both sides.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I didn't need two tools to take off the pivot and the first screw in the backspacer.

[@BX138]

I'm having trouble wrapping my head around that the goofy dude in the video; and the funny, informed narrator, are the same guy!!!

[@frozenturtlefarts1025]

Isn't this the Mircrotech diss knife?

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

My lawyer said that I would have no comment on that matter!

[@W1CK3DSAINT]

I think AKB said "blue and black," but I heard "Blue On Black," and instantly started hearing the song by Kenny Wayne Shepherd. Maybe I only hear what I want to hear... Thanks! I like to keep it short, especially in the summer.

[@bRad-ns6iy]

It's a great looking blade and the right size for me.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Yep!

[@GaryHorn]

I was a forceps delivery, Mr. AdvancedKnifeBro; that's why this lefty exists.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

My kid was done via the suction cup- so I sorta know.

[@GaryHorn]

My #6 of 6 was suctioned out also. That's when I knew we were done.

[@mrblauer1]

The batoning explains the knife's color scheme.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Black and blue baby.

[@tclesh7247]

“The Tactical Book of Revelation” I am totally stealing that!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Something about rivers running red with blood. Maybe pigs blood, who knows.

[@conductorcammon]

Lost my shit when that blade went the wrong way. Good stuff

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I about did too! (KEEP IT COOL BRO, YOUVE TRAINED FOR THIS)

[@dougbulldog9947]

Keep up the good work

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Thank you!

[@mchlgayheart]

Some would say folders are not for batoning but I say, baton the shit out of them folders Advanced Knife Bro. Aw inspiring and positively riveting video! Batoning...shit yeah!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Kershaw just told me not to baton with them. They DID return my email!

[@Orson1928]

Honestly probably one of my favorite video. I lost it at the steel jokes. Then realized on no the comments. It's a little early in the upload so maybe no strays will come in and get cranky.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Oh yeah it just went live. Kershaw hasn't had time to see it yet.

[@a7x4lrev]

I sent an all black Kershaw Junkyard Dog to KAI for service and they kept it and gave me credit for it. I still haven't spent that credit because I don't like anything Kershaw offers these days.. I'm not sure I can even still use it.

[@astrazenica7783]

Him shitting on the Western college/university scam just makes me appreciate our advanced brother even more

[@jayweast1306]

When the original natrix came out I loved it except for the assisted opening mechanism. Almost jumped on this knife before I realized $46 is a bit much for a knife in 8cr13mov. I'd be all over a dealer exclusive in a better steel for a little more.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

There's no reason for these to be assisted when you have that nice poppy detent.

[@jayweast1306]

A good manual flipping action is rare under $50 and might make the price barely reasonable. In D2 or 14c28n this would be a must buy. As it is, it looks to be a good knife but they are asking to absolute most I would consider paying for it.

[@CVNOU]

Good review, I love my CF Natrix. You referred to steel snobs, I like to replace the the word snob for douche. It seems to fit. Also, was that a picture of a Spitfire on your desk?

[@milescorporosus4058]

4:42 What's your preferred carry when you're not wearing pants?

[@mikeeygq]

What knife did you use to get this one unstuck out of the log?

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Kershaw Cryo 2

[@AaronsLyfe]

Ahh man you should have included how you cracked the handle lol. At 2:00 there is a clear crack in the handle... later... no crack!? Must be that video sorcery stuff.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

That's a piece of wet grass, you saw I dropped the knife at least twice didn't you? It was magically gone in one of the shots after my hand touched it. Go back and watch it again.

[@AaronsLyfe]

sorcery man sorcery ... maybe pbr too

[@chuckles470s9]

Was that a Fonzie or Richie walk? AAAA how about a comb review?👍

[@extrastuff9463]

I think I enjoyed the last part of this video most, where the stuck knife got extracted by potentially getting close to getting another knife stuck in it. One day you'll end up with an unsplit log that has many knives stuck inside.

[@Liv1ngTheDream]

Proper looker that one. Nothing like a bit of 8cr for the stropping connoisseur!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

True dat

[@timothymiller9067]

So are you telling me that $40 Chinese Sebenza isn't actually S35VN? I do agree however that I too don't know why left handed people exist.

[@alittleolder]

Ok, so I gave you a thumbs up.. is that what you wanted? tBecause I did it.. also slept until 18h and am sicks as a dog. Why are dogs always sick? Tomorrow i gotta be at the hospital at 8:30. Then they'll tell me if I'll turn blint totally or if it maybe will get better. As for the Elephant in the room, thanks a lot for the shoutout. I hope these people appreciate that you sent them to the one video that was a manic episode so a medical emergency. I hope they know that not all my Videos are like that.. Thanks so much my friend. I think you've earned a thank you!.. We'll talk later.. also Batoning with a Kershaw Natrix. You might be the bravest person I have ever seen. Ok, time to wake up and go to my channel and see if people have already teared it down in hate.. or if I am welcomed as the new king of youtube. I think it'll be somewhere in the middle. (hated Prince of youtube) Thanks again! - Stephan

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Get some sleep then! Hope you hear some good news.

[@dwainsw4076]

The knife fail during batoning was totally predictable wasn’t it? Lightweight folder + batoning = fail

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

It absolutely wasn't predictable. I mean sometimes it is predictable, I'll give you that- but your blanket statement is wrong. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3_YeXutn5V8g8U The Bugout holds up fine, and is constructed very similarly... no liners- although it's made of a hard plastic instead of G10- and to be fair is even lighter than this knife.

[@dgray7537]

In my free time I watch youtube knife reviewers that call me cheap for owning Kershaw Hindererers until they review a Kershaw knock off of a fancy knife so I can say "you cheap!".

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Oh I'm cheap!

[@bravo1IsixI]

Kershaw has a real knack for making everything look cheap. Even their ZT knives have the same cheap pocket clips as their $10 knives.

[@BornIn1500]

Better than Spyderco's cheap Byrd line. They intentionally made those FRN handles so blocky and cheap feeling so you'd think the more contoured plastic of the FRN Delica is worth the $75 price. They could have easily made smooth and contoured edges for the molds.

[@BMfins]

BornIn1500 G10 on Spyderco’s knifes raises the price by $50 because G10 is so expensive 🙄 Spyderco’s price creep is out of control.

[@BornIn1500]

Batscat Hell yea. I think Spyderco realizes that a lot of their fans don't mind overpaying for that spider logo. The Delica's price is insane for what you get.

[@mcgyver002]

love the way you do reviews, very entertaining. Try these 2 new knives from GANZO ! FIREBIRD series- F7603-cf and the new mini F753M1 .

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Those look cool, but I don't have a lot of time to add those to the review pile.

[@kx5007]

I think the drop point looks more like a goats hoof, I mean- like Im looking at my hoof rn and its pretty gnarly dude

[@Damen0530]

[@Watchandcutgearchannel]

as much as i like these... i still think they could have done a few things better... but its a great size and price.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Yeah it’s alright. It just doesn’t have that something special.

[@3p1cand3rs0n]

I'm still paying off my student loans too. And I have real nice teeth, from what drunk guys have told me.

If everyone took personal responsibility, and half the population of humankind were lefties, we wouldn't have the societal chaos we seek to escape by sharing a few minutes of abstract bliss with Advanced Knife Bro. And that's all I got to say about that.

Beating up a christmas tree is the reason for the season.

[@tactofu]

I've got the straight g10 assisted version. I bought it while vacationing in Florida and then mailed it back to myself in new york. It's ugly, slick, garbage; and it's the sharpest, lightest knife ice ever had. It's a diamond in the rough. I carry it often.

[@WideGauge]

lol @ batoning a flimsy Kershaw folder & @ "you know, that sheep has real nice feet ..."

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Can you believe I haven’t heard back from kershaw after this video.

[@Nick-xe9me]

My favorite part was when you used the knife you had in your pocket instead of literally anything better than something that might've put you in the same situation with both knives. If that ever happens, please just leave it like that, with 2 knives stuck in one small log.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

This channel is rarely about the right tool for the job- mostly the dumbest. I have an Estwing hand splitter I could have used.

[@Nick-xe9me]

Advanced Knife Bro ohh I know! That wasn't a sarcastic "my favorite part" I felt it was a perfect embodiment of the channel! Let's do do it this way! Cause why not?

[@TheSandreth]

How does it feel on the nipples?!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Wonderful!

[@TheSandreth]

Would it be possible to get a measurement of your hands with the dimensions? Then when you say a knife is too big or small there could be some context. Just an idea I had thinking about you...

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I think I said I like a 3.5 half inch handle grip right? Know that that fits my hands about right... so larger than that is better.

[@TheSandreth]

I've been loving my PM2 I got based on your reviews and I always had smaller knives but this one really fits me well. I especially like that I can choke up on it with the choil and the jimping.

Cool knife love everything about it except the steel if the steel was any super steel I’d pay double and already own it s35vn CT’s-Xhp 20cv m390 s30v cpm154 or even vg10 n690 154cm D2 elmax sleipner ATS-34 3v AEB-L cru wear and many more to bad they didn’t upgrade the steel and raise the price.I get some people don’t care but I like at least a mid grade steel on my knives.

[@farakhmasood5011]

Great Review Bro. Thanks. Can't say I like the sheep's foot, or sheep's foot'ish blade style, I have personal problems I know, but, just can't get over that. I really liked the smaller Kershaw, I'd tell you what it was called if I could be bothered to find out, but for now, you'll just have to guess which one I mean. I'd decided to join your Patreon, your content is worth 5 USD a month I think. But, if I'm paying, I'm expecting great things!! Maybe a Todd Begg Test to destruction vid.... I'm just saying. Anyway, Cheers Bro, keep up the good work. It's worth it, considering all the other crap I see on :The Tube", yours is miles ahead, but with less cars! Later Skater!
