[PART 4] Big Bag O' Blades 3: Chopocalypse - Preparedmind101

[@jtyearsley]

Finally, someone who knows what the SXB was ACTUALLY inspired by.

[@JustSimplyBrandon]

I really want the Bark River Grizzly!

[@charleslarson3152]

Well Chris, seeing is believing.....your design really did an outstanding job. One of the very best of all of the blades.

[@mikesalter6885]

I've enjoyed this series. I liked be able to see a few blades in action that I haven't seen a lot of before.

[@CommonCentsOutdoorsman]

Can't wait for the batonatopia!

[@brianmccann666]

Like that Tops Design. Kinda part knife, part axe. All business.

[@toddk9044]

Brian Mccann I recently bought a SXB and I agree 100%, this blade takes care of business!

[@bigazzj1346]

I picked up a Jess-X this month and I am really impressed. I convexed the edge on my stones just because I could. Its a fun useful tool! Nice job Chris.

[@preparedmind101]

+BigAzz J Convexed on stones? That sounds difficult. I convex everything on the KOWSBG in 3 minutes.

[@bigazzj1346]

PREPAREDMIND101 Yeah takes some time but sharpening is my therapy. Knife addictions are the worst!

[@bobwampler3387]

Awesome group today. That SXB blurs the line between knife and small axe/hatchet.

[@oxxnarrdflame8865]

Yes I enjoyed it. I find your reviews very fair and balanced. Those who don't obviously need some prep H to cool their winkers down. If I win the lottery I'm definitely buying some of those blades. FYI I used my jesX today to clean up some giant sunflowers in the garden, I love that knife.

[@edgybob1]

Nice trio of edged tools. Great video.

[@joelilley6001]

Dark timber does make very good looking knives. I'd love to have the honey badger or the 1911 bc they are just beautiful and resemble something like a pioneer blade or a cowboys blade

[@woochri1352]

Just keep em coming Chris! 💪

[@Veesaki]

Well done without a doubt ,

[@kennethfagerberg1254]

Finally the Grizzly thanks Chris! Have ordered it by DLT and eagerly waiting to get it home and test it in the woods! Continue to do good youtube clips Chris. Greetings Bushcraft Kunta from Sweden.

[@gunnerhusnian4375]

great job Chris! love these knives and as soon as possible I'm gonna have to get the jessica x

[@coyotewraps8314]

I still love your Jess-x,I think you did a great job with the crazy-cool design of it! BUT, That Norse-god bark river fighter is Badassery......I hope you don't stop anytime soon with,Big bag'O blades,lol...It's cool how your show casing'em,It's a great way to learn about the options that we have,thanks for doing all that elbow busting work for us,lol...

[@scoopdedoop2673]

awesome series

[@josephappleby3446]

great videos the big bag o blades series has been great since the first one. (Jess-X is a beast for the money) I was surprised the Tacoma field knife didn't make the list. I guess to many knives and not enough wood haha. looking forward to the next one

[@preparedmind101]

+Joseph Appleby I gave mine to Survival on Purpose when his vehicle got broken into and his was stolen. Its his favorite knife and mine just sat on a shelf.

[@adamnitro3377]

Yes Chris squeeze in one more, the Schrade bolo you know it's awesome, that's where you got your handle idea for Jessica X I bet.

[@preparedmind101]

+Adam Nitro There is no handle like Jess-X. The handle was 100% my imagination.

[@CedricAda]

Have you tried the Spyderco Rock? Its pretty decent light machete style kukri chopper

[@littlewoody5539]

Nice job Chris

[@srvctek1]

there goes that 43 plug again lol

[@preparedmind101]

+srvctek1 What? Where?!? Uh-Oh...I didn't give one away this time. Here come the thumbs!

[@larrylee5564]

I like big bag of blades I just wish you could do a gunny sack of axes and see how far they fly off a skyscraper or cliff

[@SNARFOLA]

I love my MYERCO AXE MACHETE..Get your man antlers on that .. Retails around 27 bucks USD!

[@rios4175]

Good video Chris!!!!

[@vincef7487]

Has there ever been, or will there ever be a "Baton-ocalyps ??? Baton-ocalyps ...😂

[@kyleburchard134]

your "devil wood" looks like something I came across recently. burned up a chainsaw Chain and took it down with a hatchet. later determined it to be redbud. I've been splitting it with my Ontario rbs9 as a test/practice.

[@SLCBushcraft]

I'm actually filming a video today on a side by side comparison between the grans fors Bruks small Forest axe. And Jessica x. It should be uploaded by tomorrow, so you all should subscribe and check it out.

[@218cblue]

Good vid! I like that SXB!

[@davidkelly1298]

I still think the Jess X is the most versatile of all of them

[@srvctek1]

That handle resembles the Cold Steel Spartan

[@alexwbanks70]

So I finally got a Jess-X and my wife was blown away that it was only $50 when my LT Wright Genesis was $175. Not sure if I'll show her the next Chris Tanner designed knife I buy because it'll cost 3-4 times more. Smaller should cost less right?!?!?!? LOL

[@chiefsmashingsmurf2577]

both of those bark River knives are just plain sick, the bravo3 and the grizzly. I know you do not quote prices but could you give me a hint at the cost, no need for specifics how about a ballpark? and can't wait to see that Ebony 45, saving the best for last.

[@preparedmind101]

+Francis Dukart $300.

[@jeffanders5538]

NICE!!!

[@fatboyproductions5949]

hey Chris I just wanted to say I love your vids also I can't find a Jessica x anywhere here in Canada and amazon won't ship here any idea where I could look ?

[@preparedmind101]

+The unknown disciple I think BladeHQ will ship.

[@jonnyboat2]

Hello Chris, for as similar to a BK7 or 9 etc as the blade is on the Jess-X, why don't you suggest to Schrade to make a variation of the JessX with a smaller, straighter handle more similar to Schrade's schf52 or even like the Kabar BK series. Then, Schrade would have a knife more similar and in demand like the BK7, 9, but at a more affordable price.

[@preparedmind101]

+jonnyboat2 First off... The only similarity to the BK9 is length and height of the blade. Put them side by side and it's obvious. BK9 has a grind/swedge/point geometry intended for a combat knife. Jess-X grind geometry is designed for maximum chopping and wood splitting, and point for maximum strength. Second, I try to be as original as possible. I don't want to make something directly intended to compete with something else. Jess-X is exactly the way I want it to be.

[@jonnyboat2]

PREPAREDMIND101 Yes, exactly, it is made exactly for that specific use. I like that it is a strong blade design with good features and proportions. I think it would be great if it were made in different configurations like length and handle sizes for different uses. Schrade has the unique ability to offer great knives at affordable prices. It is obvious where it gets its design cues.

[@jonnyboat2]

JusU Tubn So would I.

[@Shooter11B]

Gotta get the brush demon in there.

[@preparedmind101]

+Steven “Shooter11b” Szabo tomorrow morning

[@Shooter11B]

Word! My work here is done...... Lol. Super cool, thanks Chris!

[@russelldetwiler389]

that wood looks like black walnut

[@oldgeccko8207]

Hey Chris, how's the Shoulder? 😰

[@alarsenault1681]

if there's one thing I know I've learned about being subscribe to you for years now Chris is NO ONE would sway you to say or do anything g your not in agreeance with I said it before I have a lot of knifes I bought by your opinion I think the first two was bk7 and cold steel gi Tanto lol still on my wall along with 30 more lol thanks buddy

[@connorneuhaus1281]

Isn't there a knife similar to the Tops Sxb designed by Joe Teti?

[@liamireland7381]

Tops Survtac7?

[@woodswalker64]

I mean really, is there ANYTHING like the Jess-X?? It wasn't even designed to chop a huge tree like that and it excelled! Considering all the other things it's great at doing as well as the price you get it for the answer is a resounding NO! I LOVE Jess-Ex and you're not too bad either Chris. Lol.

[@preparedmind101]

+David Fiorini Nope. Totally new concept.

[@brianmccann666]

Yep, our bro ***** 's uber tree batoning showed how badass jessx really was.

[@woodswalker64]

Brian Mccann Yes, I never saw anything like that! Amazing!

[@MrSunshine1206]

great vid. suspect a great vid sometimes attracts trolls. Jess X = major chopper!

[@preparedmind101]

+solar flared Jess-X = Troll fits. Life goes on.

[@dougcfrary]

So, why not just use an axe....save the knife fer other stuff?

[@preparedmind101]

+dougcfrary What is it with axe people? They can't even tolerate tests on blades meant to chop? Batoning: USE AN AXE! Chopping: USE AN AXE! You aren't going to find much axe porn on this channel. Just an FYI. Axes are not necessary tools for ME.

[@drewlucero3916]

🎯🔪🔪🔪🔪👍

[@peachn8a]

why so many dislikes?

[@preparedmind101]

+peachn8a I showed Jess-X without doing a GAW. Party foul.

[@justfassy1172]

Is it me or do I feel like jess is only good at batoning

[@justfassy1172]

Forget what I said

[@Veesaki]

Well done without a doubt ,
