Respect for a maker sending their knife to Joe x

[@rickboz4494]

Props to you for having the faith in your product to send it to JoeX

[@bobbie4862]

Serious respect for sending this knife and it surviving Joe X. Definitely earned my money!

[@Joshuaskehan-mk8cj]

Whoever willingly sends a knife to Joe deserves respect, for your knife to survive Joe's testing demands even more respect

[@Integr8d]

Order 894. Waiting for you to ship it out!!! Thanks, Gary!!!

[@solacegrove9752]

Hats off to the Beast. Balls of steel sending one of your creations to be tested by Joe. We need more honest knife makers like you here in the US.

[@johnq.citizen8076]

Congratulations, your knife passed the Joe X test.

[@8626John]

Good for you for submitting your knife to Joe. He definitely puts blades to the test.

[@randycassidy198]

Man! your knife did fantastic! Good job man!

[@joex]

nice!!!!!

[@hightowerTB303]

🍻

[@BigDaddySwingingMeat]

Damn, I have never seen a Scandinavian Grind blade that is that freaking thick. That is an indestructible bushcraft knife. I must own.

[@shadowjezzter]

Same i think this looks amazing

[@c.h.u.d]

There's a method to joes madness.its to push knife makers and steel creators to make stronger more quality knives and steel as well as hardware, handles etc .your blades are beyond phenomenal you should be proud for pushing the envelope .much success

[@darksideofthemoon7332]

Respect for sending your knife to Joe…even MORE respect for taking criticism to make your blades even better!

[@tonnywildweasel8138]

Fantastic knife !! Great you send one to our JoeX 👍 Greets from the Netherlands 🇳🇱, TW.

[@bradgrand79]

I find Joe X highly entertaining and thought about pre-ordering one of your knives when I watched it. After watching your video, I went ahead and placed my pre-order.

[@Creelyblades]

Right on!

[@Auut917]

Yes me too , right after the video , uff only it will take 9 months to get it , but it is worthy to wait, amazing design

[@ShoahBiz]

Been spending too much on knives lately (my fav maker seedy lot has been kind enough to let me get a couple blades and my name on a couple more blanks) but i def want to purchase something from Creely Blades eventually.

[@ShoahBiz]

@@Auut917 much better than spending your money at some shit company like Survive! knives

[@bobbie4862]

Same here!!!

[@jkn2k]

This is the king of kings of fixed knives, this is a statement !!!

[@concealmenttraining9371]

The geometry of this blade helped a lot.

[@Thepreppersbunkeroutdoors]

When I spoke to you are Blade about this knife I wrongfully assumed that you wouldn't mention that it was convexed or any different than all your other knives. Massive kudos to you for transparency and the narration of the video is also very transparent and on the money. 💪🏻

[@Vlad_Conan]

Great knife! And great steel!!!

[@tonnywildweasel8138]

Much respect! Tip my helmet to you. Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱, TW.

[@baz3184]

Joex opened my eyes to how good correctly hardened clasic steel is. I love my kukri a little more

[@ShoahBiz]

low alloy is king when it comes to toughness. I saw a test of steel snapping in a vice and low alloy way out performs stuff like 3v in that department

[@MitchBollig]

This didn't surprise me at all Gary - I have a Mako you made and it is literally almost perfect. Good work here!

[@djcrule]

Just pre ordered mine can’t wait 💪🏼

[@AaronJohnson1979]

That’s a fun video and a beast of a knife. Thank you for this I loved it!!

[@joshuajohnson1912]

Beautiful knife and Joe x is the best knife tester

[@aliasaila8818]

Ah i found the reaction video. Very cool Gary you do this. I own a Mako121 and I'm a big fan of your work, this folklore beast test was epic.

[@dhennebury1888]

Awesome to see!

[@jammbbs1688]

I drew up my own desing and a bladesmith made it in 8670 and it works great and I love how tuff the steel is

[@bullymix1]

Impressive makers job!

[@chancethe9374]

If I lived in the United States, I would have ordered it right away. Unfortunately, I live in Korea, so it costs too much money to buy this knife. However, it is an attractive knife that I want even more every time I watch the video.

[@scdub]

I watched that video when JoeX put it out. Very impressive!

[@asueft]

WoW, definitely going to look into this knife

[@tchristensen8154]

Gary, RESPECT!!!

[@yoshimitzu3967]

I've wished for a long time that somone would make a special thick ass knife just like this for joe x, that was soo fun and entertaining for me to watch him try to destroy that beast. Thank u and good job. I think u are the first knife maker to beat Joe's challenge.

[@vincentmorello3160]

Work Tuff Gear Ares did it with the same knife they sale. Not reinforced and specially made for Joe X.

[@ShoahBiz]

@@vincentmorello3160 to be fair tho, Creely actually makes good knives that arent too overbuild so they excel at actual knife tasts. Work tuff gear makes beater/chopper knives so its not exactly the same

[@vincentmorello3160]

You obviously have not seen the entire Work Tuff Gear line up. They have knives for every purpose. They just released a Zeke Menacho designed Nomad Bushcrafter EDC that is awesome.@@ShoahBiz

[@stevanoutdoor]

Actually the Hultafors GK and Mora Robust survived JoeX. The difference is they did bend but didn't break and this one didn't even bend

[@NeevesKnives]

I would say Joe touching a knife voids the warranty 😆

[@stratblacknosugar.5125]

The Joe X proof knife, brilliant idea.

[@thefamily_ak1863]

Nice job

[@LeviticusMoriarty]

indestructible

[@chriswebb3018]

That was cool to see. Should of sent him a cruwear mako too and see what that could handle. I have a rex 121 mako and it's a great edc knife and definitely interested in others from you.

[@Creelyblades]

The mako is great for what it was designed for, but it would’ve gotten destroyed quickly and this test.

[@ShoahBiz]

agree with creely the cruwear mako isnt designed for this but cruwear is one of my top 5 steels I think. Amazing stuff

[@stevanoutdoor]

Great sportmansship to create a knife for JoeX's testing method and sending it to him. And where the Hultafors GK and Mora Robust did survive the test they did bend and your knife didn't even bend. I like that the cutout in the handle is really small leaving a lot of metal for handle strenght. The handle coming loose won't be an issue for me because for all my user knives I epoxy the handle scales and screws so nothing comes loose and no water can get between the scales and blank. As a long time survival instructor I would order this knife, if available, as a back up last resort knife. Of course I would also bring a thin stainless blade for food prep. Compared to the ESEE5 and BK2 this seems to be the better knife. The US military should contract you.

[@d.b.hemlock]

My blade killed El Bricko, and survived everything up to the Shotgun. JoeX took the Ares to the limits and beyond. To see another knife handle the abuse mine took and shrug it off is no small feat. I tip my hat to you sir, well done! That is one badass blade right there. You've made a winner! I love the overbuilt thick spine right into the tip with a gorgeous convex edge. That's a knife I'd be proud of having on my hip. Congratulations on surviving the JoeX gauntlet! 😁🤘

[@Creelyblades]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@joex]

🤟🤟🤟

[@concealmenttraining9371]

The Ares is also extremely over built, geometry helps.

[@vincentmorello3160]

I can only imagine if the Ares were to be reinforced for Joe X like this one.

[@wearandtear6692]

Exzellent testing for an amazing knife! JoeX is THE benchmark. EDIT: Did you just do a wildlife documentary on JoeX? Sounded like it ;-)

[@richardhenry1969]

That's a great comment. Thank you that brought a big smile.

[@jasonmiller9495]

I’m ordering one this Friday

[@A-Bat]

I think that I gonna buy this one !!

[@Obsidian-One]

You will be missed Joe X! & yea instead of whining they should just make better blades, like Creely!

[@marcinos303]

It's more of a crowbar than a knife, I can imagine how badly the blade slices and cuts. In Poland we call such knives "tank openers". I mean combat vehicles.

[@ShoahBiz]

of course he over built it for Joe X testing but his regular production blades are more realistic and still plenty tough for real world use.

[@1977aliveandkicking]

👍

[@gregorymckoy3179]

Nice knife! I have two Shadowtech QRT Push Daggers in 8670 that are my city carry. I'll check out your website selection.

[@Ve-suvius]

I like your thoughts on the knife.

[@douglasreed9237]

Awesome now I need another knife. 😁

[@MOISECRIMI]

[@simonfoo2235]

A beast that got to destroy by gun ! 💪💪💪

[@nevillesavage2012]

Nice work with the heat treat. I'd like to see how an Adventure Sworn Classic in CPM3V would hold up

[@Creelyblades]

if it was a quarter inch thick it would probably do OK, but 3V is not as tough as 8670, and their stock is generally an eighth of an inch or so. My standard folklore would not have held up under those conditions, and that knife is similar to a classic.

[@nevillesavage2012]

@@Creelyblades I love the way the carbides form in lower carbon steel. I have a 5160 Bowie knife that out performs 90% of my other blades in edge retention and durability. I only measure this off the times I have connected with sand or stone while using my blade. 5160 with a proper heat treat does not chip a fine edge and happily Sharpens back to scary. I love my Crucible Steels but continue to Abuse Ol' Bessy :)

[@ShoahBiz]

3v will snap much easier than 8670....much much easier. its still tough stuff tho but if you want an indestructible blade, you need to go for low alloy

[@lelandmiller312]

Wow, nice kinfe👍

[@DavidNefelimSlayer]

Anything can be destroyed. It took a ballistic assault to destroy your knife. Impressive.

[@user-fh9ul7bk4b]

When joeX spoke of the email sent to the authorities...I wonder if it was from an entity not connected to his [joeX] town.

[@Mudsuitable]

I want one, maybe two..

[@concealmenttraining9371]

Busse is busy making a blade for Joe, Im curious to see the geometry of the knife they send him

[@12345678927164]

It’s good to know this knife, if lost to a band of war boys in the Madd Max universe, will be just fine once retrieved by Max

[@brandensutton2324]

Hope all is well, did you get the 8670 from Alpha Supply or Pops?

[@JuaneDoses-zk9dm]

[@ppmnox]

yes, this video sold me on this knife. now get working overtime to get me my new knife!!!

[@Creelyblades]

It is always humbling to see customers sacrificing to purchase one of my blades

[@johnhoward3271]

How much are these knives , er , I mean pry bars ( with a point & edge ) ?!

[@drmikeyb1]

Joe X put that knife through Hell and that was a fantastic. Knife. How much for this knife. Fantastic knife.

[@trollmcclure1884]

Z-tuff comes to mind. AR-500

[@hlpang1075]

For using a knife as its meant to be used, I will choose a thinner blade every time.

[@ShoahBiz]

100% but this was a test for toughness. increasing a blades thickness by 2x increases toughness by 4-6x

[@thefateyoubuild1996]

Is this for sale? Ive seen the standard folklore, but assuming the beast version is a more beefy version?

[@Creelyblades]

On my website there is a preorder.

[@tacticalcenter8658]

Based on the video/testing what would you do to improve or make changes?

[@Creelyblades]

I was pretty pleased with its performance for this context, I don’t know that I would change too much. I don’t know that this is the perfect knife for every used case, for instance, if I was actually doing bush crafting, I would prefer the thinner blade in Magnacut.

[@shamamster]

@@Creelyblades What would be the use case for this edition other than to take abuse?

Faca incrível, possibilidade de envio para o Brasil?

[@Creelyblades]

yes

[@the_original_dude]

He's jumping with the knife to demonstrate that it's indeed regular water, and not an acid lake

[@RaduMichael]

The secret is in the thickness of the blade and as little skeletonisation of the handle as possible. Simple.

[@Creelyblades]

it’s not only that, it’s also the type of steel and the heat treatment.

[@RaduMichael]

@@Creelyblades sure, that's is also true. But from the plethora of knives Joe tested, I am convinced most were heat treated well coming from known manufacturers. 🙂

[@Creelyblades]

@@RaduMichael it’s not about good heat treat or bad heat treat, it’s about heat treating to the task at hand.

No

[@HeavenHeaven-ct8yc]

What's tougher 8670 or INFI steel?

[@ShoahBiz]

8670

[@vanrickenstien]

Would you feel confident in putting this blade back into use, if Joe had stopped at the gun part, and sent the blade back to you ? If you resharpened and ground out some damage on the tang/spine would you feel ok about continuing to use it ?

[@Creelyblades]

without question. It wouldn’t have taken too much effort to bring that back to life. in terms of function it really just needed a good re-sharpening job.

[@kennethking817]

Is this the knife steel you sell to the public ?

[@Creelyblades]

It is the steel used in beast addition of blades, it’s available for many steel suppliers

[@rock7282]

Your knife sounds like 5160 I’m not saying it is it just sounds like it

[@Creelyblades]

they are very similar steels, both quite tough although I think 8670 is a little bit tougher. The primary difference is an addition of nickel. 8670 also has a little bit more carbon

[@VitalyMack]

lol, need to send him a solid steel pointy bar next time...though don't, I do believe Joe X would kill himself trying to break it.

[@devildogcody]

I wish more makers would look at JoeX's destruction tests in such light. They aren't disrespectful....every knife regardless of cost, materials or makers "elite" status level in the knife world, is going to have a breaking point. Knowing that is valuable information. Instead, we now no longer have JoeX....I hope we find out who is the cause, and if it is a maker, they get shunned from the knife community.

[@Ringwolf1]

I'm impressed 😀

[@andrewfournier8817]

Sad that this is one of the frw remnants of JoeX's channel :(

[@user-vz5vf4lg6f]

Sad 😢

[@thetschoni3813]

I do not want to hate. But… this knife is primarily designed to survive Joe X. It is not designed to cut well. It is not designed to work well on real world use. To me this is kind of what misunderstanding Joe X leads to. I does not make sense to design a knife only for it to survive massive abuse. Yes, you will get a almost not destructible sharpend prybar. But not a knife. Not something that is nice to work with and that exells at doing stuff with it.

[@Creelyblades]

That is a reasonable point. I would say this is not a Joe X only use case tool though. This will perform as well as any other Bushcraft knife with a scandyvex. It’s a very comfortable knife to hold and use. It’s not a slicer, but most Scandinavian grind Bushcraft aren’t. The two primary trade-offs with this is the weight and the lower edge holding of the 8670 steel. so I would push back that it is in fact, designed to work well in real world use, in this case, BushcraftIng. No doubt this is a bit of a novelty type, Knife, and if I were buying a bush, I would get the same design in .138”Magnacut, but the beast edition will perform just fine too.

[@A-Bat]

Nice knive , check it out brother ?

[@emersonmsd]

Joe-X is gone now because he got shit on by someone who didn't like his videos.

[@spocker22]

He's back

[@michaelforrester9963]

Is 8670 tougher then a 3v steel?

[@11saje82]

about 2 times

[@ShoahBiz]

for sure. the 2x number isnt even accurate in all cases. If you are trying to see how hard it is to break with a prying action, 8670 is more than 2x tougher than 3v.

[@chancethe9374]

Toughness is 1.5x higher, but edge retention is less than 80%, and corrosion resistance is so bad that it doesn't need to be mentioned
