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!!!!!!!

[@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.

kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXy4lHmef7GgaZY Check this out only time ive ever seen this its a 1940's full look at a ASAF survival vest this was first time i seen the jiant jack knife edit: not vest full kit

[@ScoutCrafter]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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' 😂

[@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.

[@johnfix1]

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

[@stevef8993]

Happy Friday John!! You cracked me up with all the cuts and tissue paper. 🤣. You really had me fooled with the size of the Airforce WWII pocket knife. Great collection of knives!

[@joeheilm]

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

[@SteveMcQuillin]

Loved the pilot knives! My EDC knife is Kershaw Oso Sweet, very simple but easy to carry and does 99% of the tasks I need a knife for.

[@alexstools]

TGIF buddy!! I'm a real country boy and I would really like to have been a farmer like my grandfather but I work in the city now(thank goodness I don't live there) and have to ride the subway. I think you can get fined for carrying a screwdriver. Thanks for this nice Friday-mix-up. Have a great weekend John!

[@williamhoyt4121]

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

[@upsidedowndog1256]

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

[@pablocolon4572]

LMAO with the razor blade intro, nice job! SEMPER FI!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Pablo! I remember shaving my ears for inspection in boot camp! 😂. Semper Fi!

[@RRINTHESHOP]

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

[@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

[@805ROADKING]

You crack me up!! I think I like your goofy antics better than that tool crap!!☺

[@pnoman316]

As far as the pilot knives go you should try to grab a Marbles jet pilot knife... they are second to none!

[@SachsVDE]

My EDC knife too is a Gerber.,Ridge-Black Serrated lighter and thinner than yours ..A friend from Toronto gave it to me 6 years ago ..google it ..,it's very light,short half blade is a saw ,useful..tool..

[@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.

[@MrDoeboy356]

Awesome I’m a big knife collector. Man do I got a knife to show you.

[@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

[@lewiemcneely9143]

Nice knives but I really got a charge out of the razor deal but it's very timely. I had to get a cat/mri scan and my right hand swelled up so I couldn't shave. I was about NUTZ with my whiskers so I got to digging around and found my GRANDFATHERS Norelco Triple-header electric razor which hadn't been run in YEARS! Plugged it in and it took right off. Got a CLEAN shave with it. Talk about WELL MADE years ago. Thanks CS and keep on shaving!

[@ScoutCrafter]

How amazing is it that it still worked! Awesome! Triple floating heads! Sweet!

[@lewiemcneely9143]

@@ScoutCrafter GOOD SHAVE TOO! Closer than my injector razor BUT I usually keep the same blade for a year, plus or minus a little. I got used to dry shaving in RVN when I had to. There's worse things! You know too!

[@DirtandRust]

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

[@stevewalker7822]

Awesome knives!

[@357magdad]

You keep shaving like that, you're gonna have to grow a beard! That jumbo knife/saw is cool!

[@richardowen4550]

The whole time I’m watching the section on the Air Force knives I was confused. SC is a Marine! Why doesn’t he have a Kabar ? Finally got relief when he mentioned his. I have an Ontario Navy SpecPlus that is dear to me. Go Navy ! I also have a fascination for bayonets.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hi Richard! In the service we were issued Marine Combat Knives, they looked similar to a KaBar but all Black. The funny thing is we used to joke how the Marine budget was always low and we got equipment long after the other services! =)

[@lotsabirds]

The ScoutCrafter I Got Everything Someplace Museum! ....Whatta Collection!!!

[@John..18]

Love the razor joke,,, I was sure you'd carry a beautiful Case, or GEC traditional pocket knife, Beauty, and practicality, in one package,,,, oh well, to each, his own,,,, I usually carry a Spyderco UKPK, as we're very limited by the law, over here,,, atb,,,

[@ScoutCrafter]

When I was Scoutmaster every meeting I carried a different knife.. The Scouts were always interested to see this weeks knife! =)

[@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!

[@virginiagonzalez1138]

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

[@tfknauss]

Nice collection, not sure if I could shave with the dollar razors lol.

[@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 🙏👍🔪🛠

[@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.

[@j.madone7819]

I particularly agree with the statement about living in the city. I've lived in various parts of Syracuse, the city I dwell in. And now live just outside the city in the suburbs. I never felt comfortable in the city. I can't imagine what it is like in NYC. So many reasons why I wouldn't like it. Besides the inflated cost of everything. 2,000 a month for rent on a 20 cubic foot treefort. Here that would get you a mortgage payment on a 6 bedroom house with a gold plated front door. Watch out for those NYC gangs. The Latin Kings are forever recruiting new members.

[@ScoutCrafter]

You are so right Jesse! I hate living here! Always have. =) I'm a country bumpkin at heart!

[@bluemantom77]

Next time you're in the Hudson valley should hit up the duffle bag they are military surplus store they they are wonderful people

[@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.

[@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 !

[@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.

[@LostMountainRestoration]

Bwahahaha! Great opening!

[@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.

[@geraldschrader8511]

Scout, for me the coolest knife ever and definitely in the "don't touch it unless you want to buy it" category is the WWII German paratroopers gravity knife. Depending on your local laws it may be difficult to obtain one, but if you can, trust me you won't be able to stop playing with it. Check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmTWia2La9iie8U

[@ScoutCrafter]

Gerald Schrader I never saw that one before! Awesome! I have the early (knockoff) German Paratrooper Knife that works like a transformer! Lol

[@geraldschrader8511]

@@ScoutCrafter I have the transformer knockoff one as well - merely a cheap toy compared to the gravity knife. There used to be a company selling them disassembled so that they could call it a "kit" instead of a real knife, to get around locales that prohibited such things.

[@alanr4263]

It is hard to find a MK3 mod-2. Very rare. Even more so with the hack saw not broken.

[@dogbuggy32]

Good stuff scout. I carry a buck knife too. Here law abiding folks can carry just about anything.

[@brettheller9257]

Well that completely eliminated my cool comment I was prepared to leave about the K-Bar pilots knives. My comment would have been along the lines of all of the engineering that went into the development of that knife took all of 2 seconds when they saw a Jarheads K-Bar and you actually did not ruin my comment (Maybe a little bit LOL) at the point prior to you stating that us Marines carried our K-Bars I for some odd reason did not realize you are also a Marine. So Semper Fi my Brother. Brett Heller Coldwater, MI USMC 1984-1992 0311/1372.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Brett! I was in about the same time as you! 0311 here also attached to STA Plt. We carried our "Marine Combat Knives" (All Black stacked leather grip and slight rise in at the tip) for many years. Then when I started collecting knives I realized 90% of the cutting I was doing was an inch from the guard! The longer blade was acting against me! =) I love all sorts of knives... The Pilot knives were just cool looking as most are in pretty decent shape, unlike a used KaBar that looks like it was dragged behind a Humvee! =) I spent 9 years in the corps and have the Knees to prove it! LOL Semper Fi!

[@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.

[@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.

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

Not surprising in the least but my EDC is the kiridashi I made out of the first billet of damascus I ever made.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Curiosity Forge that’s a nifty design!

[@drstrangefart]

I believe sending you a kiridashi is being put on my list. They're handy little bastards and they don't seem to violate anything for knife laws as far as I know.

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!

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 .

I carry the exact same gerber knife everyday. Fits easily in my pocket and when it gets dull just change the blade.

Very sinister the way you pulled out the knife from your trouser pocket and opened the blade. What New York gang did you belong to? Knife control does not work, we the ordinary people are banned from carrying anything larger than a 3 inch blade while the gangs hack each other to pieces with machetes.
