Sheffield Israeli Commando Knife Review

[@torsten4757]

Thanks for fighting these harsh conditions!

[@DoloresVillatoro-ho5jg]

If you like that knife, you should get your hands on a British MoD Survival knife. I didn't even know it existed until 2 weeks ago and managed to my hand on one. It makes the Becker Bk2 look like it's little brother from another mother.

[@codycuppes6954]

I notice that the blade shape and especially the fuller reminds me of the old gladstone Marble's Ideal knife from pre WW2.

[@Peterinnerbickler]

Old school leather knife handles that cover the whole tang are extremely user friendly when you grab them in desert heat or extreme cold. On the real US Ka-bar types the leather got treated with an anti0fungicidae to reduce the chances of them rotting in moist tropical climates. I doubt if that is an issue in Israel. Were they real IDF issued knives. I have seen a knife and bayonet collector's book that said they were issued. No info there for how lone or if current issue. So, it is likely Sheffield continued to make them when the contract ended. In a similar manner the real Ka-Bar company still makes USMC type Ka-bar knives, but they have not been ai military contractor since WWII ended. So, the IDF knife could be in that category.

[@maseta3]

Sheffield made it for the Israeli military. It is an issue knife or at least it used to be. It was inspired by the USMC combat/utility knife. You can say its an offspring of the kabar just like the galil is an offspring of the ak-47.

[@HanlonRazor]

If you think a convex edge “sucks for slicing paper,” it’s because the knife isn’t sharp enough. A convex edge, thick or thin, is perfectly capable of slicing paper as well as any other edge.

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

Yeah, that's true, I'm a lot better at slicing paper since then

[@GreySquirrelly1016]

Good vid man! J Adams is a great company. If you want a great all round knife I highly recommend the British Army MoD survival knife. I got one it is a TANK never let me down yet! 1/4 thick blade full tang 7in blade. Will do any task decently, doesn’t excel at one, but will do EVERYTHING; Hammering, prying, skinning, splitting (it’s not an axe it’s a knife, splitting/chopping are for axes and hatchets, but should you be in a situation where it is your only tool, it will do it) it’s a crude tool, made to work, people either love or hate this knife, but in any negative reviews people have, it is complaining about trivial things: ‘it comes dull’ learn to maintain your kit by learning to sharpen, ‘the scales don’t fit the tang’ that oversized scale was designed for cold weather and minimizing contact with steel, I used mine like that for a bit but it does create hot spots so I sanded the scales to the tang to fit my baby soft hands and it feels a lot better. ‘The phosphate coating on the blade isn’t durable’ take it off lol. ‘It’s too heavy at 1.5lbs’ idk it’s never bothered me, but the weight may bother some. No knife is perfect but this knife is all I need. IMO the best and only knife you will need. Comes with a wood handle or black fiber handle. If you are looking at getting g one get it from the J. Adams Ltd factory in Sheffield, than you know you’ll have the real deal and no chance of a amazon rip-off lol

[@phutthipongsatolong5881]

It has a beautiful star. How many inches long is the blade? How many inches wide is the blade?

[@slick_slicers]

I’ve had the civilian version of this over 40 years. It’s tough and extremely effective for everything from chopping wood to preparing dinner. I see the sheaths haven’t got any better. The steel is hard, difficult to sharpen, but holds an edge for years. Sharpen it properly and it’ll slice paper all day long. I doubt the Israeli connection. The blade has been a standard of several Sheffield companies since the war.

[@JohnDoe-ee6qs]

Looks like a Ka Bar copy

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

I suppose most military bowies do trace back to the Ka-bar

[@thelegando4281]

It's awesome how the weapons are in snow and you find them

[@austingoodman2177]

Have you used this knife much at all since you got it? If so, how has it held up? I ordered one a few days ago because I really liked the look of the brass guard version. Not sure whether to use it as a tool or just display it.

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

The blade is very thick and tough. I have not used mine much, but only because, over the decades I've accumulated too many to use.

[@ArmyStinger150]

I can see this as a project knife. I think making it into a dagger would be cool. Great review as always brother.

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

Thanks!

[@michaelbjorklund1571]

I get mine today, its an very beautiful knife.

[@BeckenPowerPL]

Bayonet Blue steel factory New?

[@billymazdin]

I used to go clay shooting with John Adams,a very nice man Indeed 👍

[@crabbysam]

The outdoor footage rocked! Really good review as well, answered my questions I had about this blade. I really wanted to like this as I found some being liquidated at under $25, but the grind is about as pathetic as the sheath. I liked the Magen David and the fuller in the sweet spot, but that's about the only good thing.

[@KBar666]

Israel standard issue to most troops is actually American Kabars lol. This is clearly just a sheffield version but not quite a copy. Similar to like how cold steel has the leatherneck

[@alexs1243]

Israel doesn't issue Ka-bars, not a single​ one... but it doesn't issue that Sheffield​ knife either.

[@StriderX04]

Is this the same knife that’s listed for like $35 on amazon?

[@TacticalXRays]

so, judging by the chosen grind geometry, do the israeli expect to chop up tree people in combat or slice through flesh and bone?

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

Stab! I think

[@cslew280]

Please review the htm axd knife bro

[@recklessdreadful]

Cool finish on the Sheffield.

[@arctodussimus6198]

Would be surprised if you could find any info on the Israeli Commandos. Seems like a decent blade considering where it comes from.

[@p99guy]

Sheffield England is where it comes from, a town known for cutlery.

[@HerbWalker]

Watching you in that snow reminds me of when me & the Scout Recon Platoon would go to the field and train in Germany. Man It was always Snowing, raining or so hot & humid you couldn't stand it. Great knife but Im going with my old trusted KaBar(US Army endorsed & DEAD Enemy proven)!!! LOL Scouts OUT!!!

[@iowndunoob]

great review brother hope your well always loved the way this blade looked

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

Glad you like it, brother!

[@stevesmith-ji6px]

im a sucker for K-Bars so this blade is very attractive to me!! I like the stacked leather handles. I think I have a new crush!! lol! great review as always!! Oh, have you done an EDC video on what you would carry on a dailey basis when you go out and about??

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

Hey, I haven't done a series like that, because I like to rotate my folders frequently, to test out new ones.

[@stevesmith-ji6px]

I still think a lot of us would like to see what you EDC. or maybe even a video on HOW you choose the knives you carry! I just think you have a very thorough way you test knives and other blades. you're my favourite blade channel. can you do some knife throwing videos??

[@stevesmith-ji6px]

how many pounds of blades of all sorts do you think you have??? man you gotta have hundreds if not thousands!!??!! I can picture your house looking like present day medieval weapons cash. if that makes sense, do you know what I mean?? do you know any other channel that may have anywhere close to the amount of blades you do??

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

Well, one guy on here, Chiinnature, he's on my recommended channels list. He possibly could have more than me.

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah Is, That Commando knife looks similar to my Benchmade Arvensis in the CM 154, I got it for wet and snowy use, Job well done mi Amigo.

[@Eurotrash4367]

Come on Paul'ie, you have to tell everyone what you pair your Arvensis with. We know you can't carry just one knife on your backyard overnight survival excursions!

[@MrZdixo1]

I think the steel is C70 (1070)

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

Good to know, thanks!

[@dahotrod1533]

It is actually "Sheffield Steel" It is a refined hi-carbon steel from Sheffield in england which is similar in some ways to 1095

[@Danchik369]

What in your opinion is the best most affordable commando knife out there?

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

+Danny D Check out the Ontario SP6. It's about $40, classic design, surely fine for any stabbing needed, and can double as a camp knife.

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

Janah The Ontario SP-53 is pretty good, too. But for chopping wood, a knife doesn't need a conventional tip, so stuff like Goloks might be better.

[@dahotrod1533]

I personally would recommend the MOD 003 knife by J.Adams Ltd

[@Shadow-bx8ri]

There is a plentiful of it. Fairbairn Sykes, KM-4000, Glock Feldmesser 81, USMC KA-BAR, Gerber OB-11.....very hard to choose dear.......

[@Lomochrome]

Im waiting for this trend to return...

[@michaelk487]

Great knife I used to have k bar that looks like a nice knife

[@yanivanhandenhove2191]

whow super asom combat knife over here greatings from a Belgian fan and subcriber

[@idanbutbul4815]

i had something else in the army... never heard of this kind of knife

[@SCSCS]

The steel is 1085.

[@dahotrod1533]

It is actually "Sheffield Steel" It is a refined hi-carbon steel from Sheffield in england which is similar in some ways to 1095

[@alexdarow8759]

cool knife

[@frankgon4]

Where was this knife made ?

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

+frankgon4 England.

[@JohnDoe-ee6qs]

Sheffield England

[@slamblamboozled1245]

John Nowill is the maker.

[@drivingmuffin]

I like the design in this knife a lot, but it would be nice if it could slice a little better.. :)

[@chucklee1313]

I like the idea of a slimmer, lighter version of the venerable kabar, but I have no experience with Sheffield's reputation and quality..

[@dahotrod1533]

Sheffield is not a brand, unless you are talking about the walmart chinese crap. The real sheffield knives are made by small companies dotted around sheffield in the UK like Jack Adams or John Nowill, this particular knife is made by John Nowill of Sheffield. Walmart is using the term "Sheffield knives" to brand chinese crap which is giving the sheffield knives term as a whole a bad reputation.

[@HerbWalker]

IZ, Thought you might like to see some old stuff we used to 'play with' LOL IDF vs Army Knife Fight

[@meowothon]

believe it or not but the weather in Minnesota is worse

[@hansr7580]

Israeli's use the Ka-bar... looks very simular.

[@Mike-kobinson]

Im an Israeli and we use a kadar knife in tha army

[@benbencedemeyibrakalm6491]

[@zednotzee7]

This knife conforms to the Isreali Army standard apparently, so my guess is that it was made for some competition when the Israelies were looking for such a knife. Waste of time tbh. If they could get a USMC knife - which is very similar - for free from the US, then it was always going to be a foregone conclusion (personally, I don't much care for either this or the USMC knife). To be honest,, I can't see how either of those knives would be ideal for "commando" use. Surely some form of dagger would be better for quietly killing sentries and the like.

[@theant9821]

That depends, the commando dagger is designed with one purpose only, to kill the enemy quickly. This is designed for 2 purposes, and so is in the Jack of all trades master of none category, it can do everything but it at a disadvantage to the commando dagger in fighting and disadvantaged against dedicated survival knives too, but can do both unlike the dagger or regular survival knives. Do you want 2 knives ideal for their purpose or one which is comprised. I depends upon what you are doing, ww2 style if you're spending plenty of time behind enemy lines, away from civilisation in Africa or the jungle, you have different priorities than you would parachuting into occupied France to sabotage German industry and logistics like shipping and railways, etc. Horses for courses.

[@999.9finegold]

I never saw this knife in israel.. Israeli soldier use multitool most of the time, or some tiny knives. The real commanders use dustar or another expensive tools. I think its a marketing trick

[@israelipiper]

+ohka “vichi” finegold Your are right. No one knows about this knife here in Israel, and the army does NOT use it. Many soldiers buy a reasonable Kershaw or Coast or some other not too expensive folder. The special units take care f their own knife needs. Historically, we did use the British Fairbairn-Sykes commando knife, or some close variation. Lots of companies like to add "Israeli" to their claimed tactical equipment to enhance sales. I hope no one actually assumes this is an Israeli knife.

[@Sk0lzky]

But I never buy knives made from "unknown" steel (except customs).

[@littlepolarbears]

hmm that doesn't really make sense

[@dahotrod1533]

It is usually a very good quality high or medium carbon steel.

[@londiniumarmoury7037]

@@dahotrod1533 This knife is made from 1085 carbon steel, J. Nowill & Sons of Sheffield do not use mystery steel.

[@m998hmmwv7]

The Israeli army is very quiet about all its hardware

[@48mastadon]

Looks like it is time to evacuate the arctic tundra that you live in.

[@johnmutton799]

China made very good knives they make for top companies. But some are made for a price like all British firms do. This is a wall hanger. They do not make for military. There is a book called Soldier. And on front cover shows the SAS kit sent up with a knife on there. Check it out.

[@WeAllJuggleKnives]

Where do they say it's made in China? Not doubting, but I like to have some references I can direct people towards, if they ask. Thanks.

Knife? Dont you mean lightsaber lol

[@Vnbsm]

This is a Kabar copy, the only connection this blade has is China, sheffield make shitty stuff poor design but this blade survived the baton cause you know how to baton right plus those logs was easy split, hit a knoch and this blade is over, doesnt matter what you review very good and intresting to watch.

[@slamblamboozled1245]

Sheffield isn't a brand. It's a place in England where most British knife makers are based. A lot of non-Brits get confused as American websites tend to lump all these knives together under the Sheffield tagline when the truth is, there are dozens of different makers which vary in quality. This one is made by John Nowill, a very good mid range maker.

[@dahotrod1533]

Walmart sheffield knives are much different to knives made in sheffield england, these knives will last longer than a Cold steel SRK or a Kabar. Walmart "sheffield" knives are chinese crap and are only using the name for marketing purposes.

[@BUFROG]

You don't know what you are talking about. These are made in England not China.

[@casperdog777]

Sheffield steel is best in the world; they make excellent blades

[@theant9821]

Sheffield is a city, during the industrial revolution it was the city that produced more steel than any other city in the world. Stainless Steel was invented in Sheffield, high quality steel has been produced in Sheffield for over 700 years, the UK steel industry specialises in high quality steel where it can still compete with cheaper rivals in aisa due to superior quality. There are many manufacturers based in Sheffield, some still operating after hundreds of years, making blades, cutlery, etc. For everyone from the King/Queen and his/her family to the British army/Royal Navy and everything in between from railway lines and trains to steel for warships and machinery.
