Military Pilot Survival Knives, My EDC and more!

You can still buy a US made 499 Pilot survival knife- www.amazon.com...
BTW- All kidding aside those razors aren't bad! =)

[@57WillysCJ]

No wonder I can't find a good deal on the Colonial Survival knife. You have them all. The Navy Pilot kit was almost as interesting as the knife. Especially the fishing kit. You wouldn't easily loose that knife. I want to say it was almost a hacksaw blade so you could make good use of the metal on the airplane. Funny thing you using a modern razor. I went back to the old double edge and never looked back. Here is a video on the survival kit. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXy4lHmef7GgaZY

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hi Philip! You know I have been subscribed to Steve for over a year! Yet I missed that awesome video! Thanks so much for the link!!!!!!!

[@johnfix1]

Some great information. Not only are you a collector but a historian too and i really enjoy your videos.

[@jschmied73]

That razer bit...too funny. Look out Jimmy Fallon, ScoutCrafter might be coming for your job!

In the UK we get cheap Chinese razors and they are very hit and miss if they cut your face or pluck your beard. So When he came out with all the plasters I was not surprised, but realised he was messing about.I buy twin blade with names Wilkinson Sword, BIC and not now Gillette. You get 4 for a pound and they give a comfortable shave.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Yes! I saw that! Steve is the best! I have been a long time subscriber! Thanks!

[@williamhoyt4121]

Scout, you are like a father to me. Thank you for giving me the daily story time.

[@steventrosiek2623]

Thanks for a wonderful video. My every day carry knife is a vintage Kutmaster small double blade pocketknife with bone handles made in the late 1940s. I am a tailor for Jos A Bank Clothiers in Morgantown West Virginia.

[@johnnydutcher208]

Hilarious razor act! My everyday carry has been a leatherman. I think it is one of the handiest tools to have and I find myself using it all the time. I just gifted my father in law one as well.

[@SkyForgeVideos]

Killing me with that shave job! Lol nice knives. I have 2 EAB. Nice little razor holders. Love that bottom knife in the last pic too. Nice stuff SC! Ty for sharing!

[@virginiagonzalez1138]

That got my attention. I'm also into knives. Can never have too many!

[@TheGraniteFlaneur]

I'm not a knife collector/ enthusiast, but my edc is a small German loewen messer. Meets the regulations here and I have a heap from when my father was a commercial fisherman.

[@talk2kev]

My everyday carry is a Ka-Bar pocket knife.I found it at antique shop the knife looks like a old timer but it's branded kabar 1108 .Made in USA back in the 70's.

[@johnkelley9877]

This was another interesting video. I am really impressed by the size of the Colonial Survival Knife. It is massive for a pocket type knife. I can also see why the more modern survival knives have a thicker blade for the saw. Thanks for taking the time to share this as I learned a lot.

[@leebrewer1190]

Incredible info in this one vid John. I had never seen the Jiant before. I do remember as a kid longing for one of those regular survival knives though. Every kid back then HAD to have one. Then they started getting gimmicky with hollow handles for matches, a fishing kit, a ball compass built into the bottom of the handel etc. EDC - Kershaw A100 multi tool. Been at my side now for about 20 years as my third hand. Extra one pacled away a dresser drawer for if and when this one ever breaks.

[@choppermike3329]

Really interesting knife video. I was lucky and found a couple of brand new camillus versions of the pilots survival knife. I really like that jumbo pocket knife. Haven't seen it before. Always enjoy the specifications at the end of the video. New York does have some messed up laws. Thanks.

[@skip9766]

Hi Scout, great video! My edc is either a buck 110 or an old Rigid folding knive. Rigid knives are just fantastic.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Buck 110- Probably the most iconic knife ever made!

[@DirtandRust]

Those Pilot Jack Knives are so Cool!....it being an equal-end Jack really gives the illusion of a smaller knife.

[@justafanmarvel9669]

I love knives too but I've never carried one consistently as an EDC... however one tool that I can honestly say I have carried fairly consistently for 25 years is the Leatherman Sideclip... the first Leatherman with a clip on it which was basically a version of the original "pocket tool"... lightweight has the basics but is one of the most useful friends I've ever had.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Leatherman always made such great products!!!!!

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Some cool blades there. Yeah just a few. Thanks for sharing.

[@tonylenge424]

That was very interesting info on the knives. Not sure what you would need to pay for one but I am going to keep an eye out and see what I can find. Thanks again.

[@bkind2182]

Great video! Loved the intro... Thank you so much for all of the time and effort you put into your videos...

[@johncrable3349]

Wife and I had a nice laugh! Thanks for sharing and have a happy day!

[@helpinghandremodeling3755]

Very nice collection, I need a Jiant Jack!!

[@tristanbarnett6271]

Wow as a military knife collector I've never seen one of those before and that's what I always loved about military knives is you can always learn more and see things that they have made that you've never even heard of I'll definitely keep an eye out for that cuz that will be the next piece I would love to have in my collection

[@adude7050]

I have a couple of the old pilot knives and one of the newest version. All of them are made by Ontario Knife COmpany. They are currently marketing them selves OKC.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Abe! If there is anyone who would appreciate the history and design of these knives it would be YOU! =D

[@Brian-Burke]

When I was in grade school in the 80s my friends and I collected what we called Rambo knives. I loved the compass on the end cap. Coincidentally the latest Rambo movie came out today. Stallone is 73!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hi Brian- Stallone is the real deal... You can never deny he gives 110% on all his movies!

[@johnduff6436]

As a knife collector for years, I was nearly expecting the "Jumbos " to show up. However, the disposable razor gag absolutely floored me! Cutting Edge (sorry) humor there sir. :

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hi John! Those Jiant Jackknifes will always be desirable... 😃👍. Thanks

[@InformationIsTheEdge]

"OK, that was fun." Brother, you got that right! I laughed so hard I scared the neighbors! Great look at some cool knives too! Thank you!

[@jmegown52302]

When I was a kid a friend of my dad's was a private pilot and he usually had me ride up front. He showed me where he kept a similar saw to cut through the fuselage in case of an accident.

[@vladimirbrkusanin3581]

Those pilot knives made my day really happy... Thanks friend!

[@davidharris6581]

Scout, I saw a movie a few years ago with Robert Duvall and Tom Cruise. Duvall plays a Marine and Cruise asks to borrow his weapon. Meaning a high powered rifle. Instead Duvall hands him his Kabar. Cruise is confused and says "What's this?" Duvall says "You said you wanted my weapon." I really got a kick out of that and wondered how many got the joke.

[@ScoutCrafter]

David- Jack Reacher! 😃👍

[@joeheilm]

That colonial knife is a monster. Thanks for sharing. Cheers

[@upsidedowndog1256]

I got a Jiant Jack Knife from my grandfather decades ago. I was always curious about the history and purpose of them. Thanks!

[@davidcoats1037]

“If you don’t want one, don’t touch it!” 🤣 Words to live by my friend. As always John, I am amazed at your collection and I better not ever touch one of those because I definitely want one. Take care.

[@saigaking]

Wow what a fantastic video John you have some amazing blades I gotta get me one of those Folders not sure where to start finding one but wow I’ve never seen one like that Really great piece of history in the survival knives 🔪 god bless have a great weekend take care 🙏👍🔪🛠

[@sheep1ewe]

Awsome collection, most of them still looks realy useful to me.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Vampira - it’s true! I always prefer to spend a bit more and get one in really nice shape. For knives anyway.

[@sheep1ewe]

@@ScoutCrafter Yes, it's usualy worth it, i agree with that. (Only thing that sux is the tax and custom penalty for shipping things from the US to my country... Since a few years it has been super expensive to ship anything from the US here, i realy hope that will change. )

[@1D10CRACY]

Perio INC is in my back yard! Had no idea what they made! Got a good chuckle out of the video as well! LOL

Cool Knives Scout ! I have/ had A K Bar Knife . I'll have to look Now to See if I Still Do . I'll let you know . I Have A Small Collection Myself - less Than About 15 Though . Cool Video .

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hi Wayne! There is something in our DNA that recognizes the importance of such a tool... 😃👍. Thanks

[@frankblack1481]

Terrific video (again), Scout I’m starting to wonder if I’ve learnt more from your videos than all the other KZbin videos I’ve seen. Combined. Amazing, thank you and keep up the good work. I keep a little Swiss Army knife on my key ring and its useful but I often fly and if I forget to remove it then airport security make me get rid of them.

[@ScoutCrafter]

These "security" guards are confiscating a lot of knives. I wonder where they go? =)

[@FenellaBeach]

Great video, thanks for sharing. Anyone know what the two holes in the cross guard of the pilot’s knife are used for ?

[@ScoutCrafter]

Securing a pole to the handle making the knife into a spear...

[@FenellaBeach]

ScoutCrafter. Thanks, that’s ingenious, I definitely want one now !

[@steph2211]

WOW!!! Scout you most have a lot of treasure in your attic nice collection that's interesting. Thanks my friend

[@literoadie3502]

Hi John! Sorry I have been away for a while, health problems have kept me away from a lot unfortunately. I have a US M7 bayonet (for the M16) here in the UK, bought at a car boot sale for £20! You always do great camera surprises! You really had me with that huge pocket knife!! Man that is big.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Lite Roadie Those M7’s have terrific balance!!! 😃👍

[@Ricopolico]

High carbon steel? What an understatement, Scout. I had a Nam Era survival knife that was as tough as the hinges to Hell. I was so tough, I could never hone it to a razor's edge, but it certainly was tough!

[@michaelwhittaker5432]

HI Greetings from the UK , The pilots survival knife is ` bomb proof` not as pretty as more modern examples but rock solid - I have used one for years . The holes in the cross guard are so you can use cord to lash the knife to a branch to make a spear , if you plan to use one of these for back packing / survival soak the sharpening stone in light oil then wrap in cling film to stop it drying out . Great film - thank u .

[@christopherlusk9385]

Very interesting show...thanks.

[@ArmandoLoni]

It's illegal to carry over here, too. I quite fancy a Rambo knife... I stopped carrying my Victorinox when I retired - it sure weighed down my jeans, hanging from the belt 😂 Remember the scene in Crocodile Dundee? '... Now THAT'S a knife' 😂

[@lotsabirds]

[@adude7050]

Years ago Gerber had a recall on a knife like that I am not sure if it was that model or another. Buck moved years ago to having Mike Bos(sp) do their heat treat. That 482 looks similar to the Vantage the handle at last. The Vantage uses the Mike Mayo blade design.

Great Show Love Knives. As you can see I’m way back in your vid’s,just trying to catch up.

[@richardross7219]

It has to be a horrible place that doesn't allow a man to carry a knife. My first day of kindergarten I used my pocket knife to cut something instead of getting scissors and got sent to the principal's office for it. Mr Leonard asked if I had a knife in my pocket and I answered "yes, sir". He asked why I had a knife and I answered "because a man always carries a knife". Then put his finger in front of my face and said "and he keeps it in his pocket. Now get back to class." I have always carried a scout knife and still do. Sometimes it is augmented with a Leatherman or an electricians knife. I have a pilots knife and a MK IV(identical to a KABAR) but rarely carry either. In 1974, in the Army, I learned to throw the MK IV and it works good for that. I've found that anything bigger than my scout knife isn't necessary. Very good video. Good Luck, Rick

[@ScoutCrafter]

Rick- Those were good times! The powers that be are trying to hamstring us!!!!

[@richardross7219]

@@ScoutCrafter In 63 when I was 12, I was walking down a street in town with a .22 rifle over my shoulder. A cop stops me and ordered me to give him the rifle. I came to attention and did a proper present arms(my Scoutmaster was a West Pointer and he drilled us). The cop inspects the rifle sees that there is no bolt in it and no cartridge in the chamber and hands it back. He then asks "how many did you get?" I told him that it was a slow day and I only got 33. We were allowed to shoot rats at the town dump on Saturday Afternoons after it closed. It was a lot of fun shooting the moving targets and it kept the rat population down. It turned out to be great training for in the Army later. Life was a lot more rational when the WWII vets were running things. Zagray is this weekend but my back is acting up. Don't know if I'll be able to go. Good Luck, Rick

[@Anonymous-it5jw]

How well do the Barbisol twin blade razors shave? Regarding the clip on the various pocket knives, some people believe that the exposed pocket clip takes the knife out of the "concealed weapon" category in those places where larger knives have to be openly carried on or about the person. I don't know whether or not this theory "holds water," as Cousin Vinny said in the famous movie, but it gives you something to talk about if you are stopped. In "no-locking blade" jurisdictions this probably wouldn't help you, depending on how the law is written. In other places, if you have a valid hunting license and claim to be going hunting for something that's in season, there is a certain latitude given as to what knives, etc., you can have on or about your person, whether in a carry bag, a belt or in your pocket. If you want to carry a medium to large size knife or a lock blade knife of any size with you, consult someone in your area who knows what's permissible. Thanks for showing us the various survival knives - those giant folding knives are something I had never seen before.

[@ScoutCrafter]

If a police officer wants to arrest you for the knife you are carrying there is nothing you can do to stop it... They have loopholes built into the law just to trip you up... It started to stop gang members and thieves but we know how that goes... All big cities are shot... You either comply or become incarcerated. They are robots.
