Excellent video!

[@Frontline-K9]

Love the spring clip I had one on my coyote blue and lost the sheath which I need to go find because I miss it so much.

[@arctodussimus6198]

Love the spring clip. I have taken them off some of my sheaths and moved them to the other side, and carry the knife rear-iwb scout style.

[@silverback4434]

The black rhino is badass , i have the hog 4.5 and i love this knife .

[@outerlimitless]

Oh, the Hog 4.5 would be a wonderful addition to the collection! That's on my list with the Brakimo!

[@silverback4434]

@@outerlimitless i have it with the leather sheath , its a wonderful sheath very nice thx tops 👍

[@jamesnelson1443]

BOB is highly underrated! It will split with baton like no. One’s business

[@a_tired_dad]

These are some of the ones I have my eye on. The Tex Creek is just beautiful.

[@ssunfish]

I have Tex Creek XL and Tex Creek 20. They are great!I was going to get Tex Creek 69 until I got a chance at the twentieth anniversary edition

[@outerlimitless]

I had the XL and would almost consider getting it again to swap my scales with the 20 scales. Imagine the XL with the 20th anniversary scales!! Would be awesome!

Black-Rhino for ever , ce couteau est tellement génial !

[@Baruch-Hashem]

I do not speak freanch, but I love my Black Rhino as well, it is a battoning beast. Frankly the choil, forward jimping, just excellent for detail work without being a flimsy blade. Interesting comparison to the becker, frankly the TOPS heat treatment is superior. Differential heat treatments are simply superior. Love the wear look as well, that took some heavy use to achieve as the traction coat is very durable, not that the knife needs it. Sweet sheath. I still have the stock Kydex which I have round file modified with finger grooves between the holes for more grip.

[@lamenature1420]

@@Baruch-Hashem i agree , Tops better than esee or kabar for much raisons .

[@a_tired_dad]

...the only problem with the Dart and Kukri is that since I have the Prather War Bowie and Operator 7 they are already so capable at heavy camp/utility tasks that I have a hard time justifying buying more blades :D

[@outerlimitless]

I want the War Bowie...it's on my list. If I got the Operator 7 I would grind off the upper quillion/guard. But other than that, the Operator 7 looks great and I can tell it would perform wonderfully.

[@arctodussimus6198]

I have edc’d my Prather War Bowie off and on for over six years. I carry it rear scout style inside the waistband at a 40 degree angle (+/-). Hardly ever know it’s there. It was my go-to Bush Blade until I got a Tahoma Field Knife. Want to get the DART to complement my Armageddon. Trace Rinaldi designed a couple of winners with those two. I’ve had one in my hand a couple of times, and just love it.

[@Airik1111bibles]

That Tex Creek limited is so awesome I should of got me one .

[@outerlimitless]

I see them from time to time. I actually bought two of them and eventually sold one off...I probably should have kept it around for a bit. But I'm glad I have one for use at this point!

[@allemander]

Should’ve?

[@Airik1111bibles]

@@allemander Good grief ...LOL SPELL CHECKING NAZI 🤣🤣🤣 You must be a peach to live with.

[@tomgottwein]

Hi guys just wondering were would you recommend buying tops knifes lm in Australia blade hq or Chicago knife works they seem really good thanks

[@outerlimitless]

I would definitely say blade hq if they ship to Australia. What model are you thinking of getting?

[@tomgottwein]

@@outerlimitless the skull crusher would be the one l think Chicago price is bit better and delivery options are better l have used both in past with no trouble why would you recommend blades lm just wondering thanks for replying

[@outerlimitless]

@@tomgottwein either way as long as they have what your looking for. SXB is a beast! Such a solid performer!

[@tomgottwein]

@@outerlimitless yeah l have a few tops knifes but thete really expensive here nowadays l got the dawn warrior from Chicago couple of months ago the thing is a beadt but l want the skull it just looks really good l have bought heaps from chicago the guys there seem really good and his prices are a bit bettet than othet shops and he uses dhl Express l get the knifes in 4-5 days pay a bit extra for postage compared to waiting a month and l was going a few benchmade but blade hq don't sent them to Australia not sure why what do think of Russian made knives

[@barrybueler3356]

I have the BOB pretty cool I would like it more with a true scandi and maybe a little thinner but it’s always something 😜.

[@ssunfish]

Try the Fieldcraft that's smaller and lighter over all than the BOB

[@ssunfish]

I love TOPS Knives Lite Trekker! Got it on me now even though I'm in the city

[@outerlimitless]

I always wondered about the Lite Trekker...I like the shape.

[@rebelyell2741]

I’d say the BOB is the best camp knife ever made. Without modification.

[@ssunfish]

The spring clip is hard to put in and replace too. That said, it works and it's simple so it makes it durable. I want to be able to turn it and do horizontal. I can even put it in a pocket. I'm good with it

[@outerlimitless]

I think it is effective. It definitely works better than other options out there...not the BEST option, but I would say SOLID option.

[@bodhi974]

I have the street scalpel and the sheath has the spring clip. I carry it daily for work and the configuration is works perfectly.

[@cocovasquez1]

Tops Brakimo is my favorite

[@outerlimitless]

I have been interested in the Brakimo but never pulled the trigger.

[@turtlewolfpack6061]

You don't loose just some ability to strike a ferro rod with differential heat treat, the spine WILL not hold an edge. Striking at the tip works because the tip is hardened. Coating has almost zero effect on striking a ferro rod if the knife has a hardened spine except the powder coat garbage that so many makers still use.

[@spectermad9180]

JOE is a yes man he loves everything..but I don't believe him...it seem to me that he won't say he dont like anything...I dont know why it makes the other guy not say what he really thinks...Joe stop being a yes I love everything man..we know your not being truthful....I for one don't like the Rocky Mountain tred...and I dont like that belt clip...Joe its ok not to love everything because that make you sound like a company yes man...with know real thoughts on anything...
