Strange, Wonderful? Aitor Oso Negro Combat Survival Knife

[@JOHNSEVERUSFREITAS]

I'm a proud owner of an original Aitor Oso Negro from the Portuguese Army, with the words "Exército Português" carved on the blade. I've bought it before I start the special forces course and carried it for all the course. What an amazing knife. It does everything you want from a knife and more. It breaks every piece of wood apart. It cut logs... Everything. And she stills cutting amazingly after all this time.

[@daniel-ub4oj]

El original no es portugués , Aitor es una empresa española. En su hoja graban lo que le mandan para diferentes ejercitos , el original es echo en españa el grabado te lo pueden gravar con las palabras ejercito portugués, ingles , frances , marina , ... ...este cuchillo también lo tienen los boinas verdes y otros cuerpos del ejército en España, Aitor tiene el oso negro el oso blanco y el montero que son prácticamente iguales, luego tiene cientos de cuchillos de supervivencia que son joyas , lo malo es que son muy caros , pero también hay muchas copias e imitaciones baratas

[@JOHNSEVERUSFREITAS]

@@daniel-ub4oj of course I know Aitor is a Spanish brand. I was saying I have an original one, and from the Portuguese Army. It was the brand chosen to equip the army at the time.

[@daniel-ub4oj]

​@@JOHNSEVERUSFREITASyes 👍

[@MasterPhilip616]

​@@JOHNSEVERUSFREITASThe Oso Blanco is still the greatest knife I own. It's my go to survival knife.

[@jaerex3525]

I'm very happy with this review of "La niña de mis ojos" this is maybe the most known spanish knife but i have to say that we don't use it for carving or doing feather sticks, WE USE IT FOR CHOPPING TREES! Muajajaja !!! I love your content, hi from Spain.

[@randyransio7870]

Good combat knive. Un buen cuchillo. Spain makes great knives.

[@jeffhayden2737]

Great review! I was introduced to Aitor knives while in Australia, I had an opportunity to go on a walkabout camp trip into the Kakadu National Park years ago and almost all the Rangers in the field had Aitor NATO Bowies on them. They were not always with our group but on the occasions they camped with us I got to see the knife in action working on the notoriously hard Gum wood and coming through with flying colors. The knife you featured in your review is Aitors civilian model of the Spanish military Cuchillo de Monte a famous knife throughout Europe. After returning to the US I purchased the Bowie and reprofiled it like I saw the Rangers had , and while It does have a little softer steel it sharpens to razor in about 45 seconds on a ceramic rod after a good day of use, which I really don't mind as kind of ritual in camp at night. I think you would like the Bowie better just as I have- no saw on spine and you can choke up to do finer tasks.

Cuchillazo! Aunque ahora no esté de moda sigue siendo un cuchillo estupendo. BUENO PARA TODO, TAMBIÉN PARA BUSHCRAFT. LO HACE COMPLETAMENTE TODO.Tengo uno. Buen video. Saludos y gracias!

[@claudiopina9075]

The shape of that blade has a lot of the "falcata" ( spanish historical sword. This brand & model( Aitor " oso negro") has been issued to several military corps. Is not new, it's been tested a lot & most of knife fans in Europe( & probably the world) think is a great blade.

[@franciscopino5284]

Exactly.

[@daniel-ub4oj]

Y lo es , es uno de los mejores cuchillos del mundo

[@franciscopino5284]

Just a couple of things: 1- Kukris usually are nor double edged and the recurve shape is much more pronounced. Oso Negro is more like an Iberian falcata. 2- First Oso Negro generation (1981) had a bigger and much stronger steell cross-guard (pretty good to open bottles of bear). 3- Oso Negro was the "unofficial" knife for some special units in the Spanish army, like skiers-climbers, SOp etc.

[@alaskaraftconnection-alask3397]

...always viewed these as an enthusiast's combat blade from Spain... it does have a reputation and following culture. Nice... well done and realistic review.

Apparently is the unofficial knife of the Portuguese army...although is Spanish made

[@andrashavas]

Very nice knife. Not to be confused with replicas.

[@magritteetmoncouteau]

In inherited of an old Aitor Oso Blanco. Not the best steel in the world but in my opinion the design is really gorgeous. Bonus: the top guard on mine can be used as bottle opener! Cheers

I agree.

El legendario oso negro, considerado el mejor cuchillo de supervivencia del mundo, inventado por el general Villegas y uno de los más copiados, sige de dotación en el Ejército Español en Operaciones Especiales, un tipo de hoja muy común en España pues desde tiempos inmemorables hubo dos tipos de espadas, la falcata con esa forma y la gladius hispanienses copiada por los romanos.

[@umarmars47]

Don't claim other's design into your culture

[@B.Inem_]

​​@@umarmars47 is 100% from Spain,is true the romans copy to Iberian Falcata. The Falcata is a pre-roman sword

[@josemanuelpedrajofernandez4556]

Este cuchillo de la aitor de ermua que fabrico el oso negro y blanco hasta su venta era uno de los mejores cuchillos de supervivencia y combate del mundo y sigue siendo un cuchillo de lo mejorcito co otros de esta misma marca,como el comando,jk1,jk2,bucanero,montero,botero,etc,utilizado en españa por el ejercito tanto en tierra,mar y aire y interejercitos,yo lo tuve en infantería de marina grandisimo cuchillo.

[@howardgreen9718]

John Rambo called he wants his knife back

[@GutiTheJ]

that redgum stuff you're always chopping at looks like really beautiful wood, would love to see it as some kind-of handle material all polished up

[@BushCampingTools]

Hi, yeah as you know I reviewed the Olive wood version of this knife. It is a beast of a knife and not likely to fall apart on me LOL. As for the steel keeping an edge, well my one was a little uneven in the grind and I'm trying to right that. But yeah, it hasn't been too bad even if it got a bit dull after a day of cutting wild mushrooms but the caveat was that I had cut into grass and dirt all day, hacked up hardwood for BBQ, cut chicken on ceramic plates and general arsing about LOL, and silica on grass and dirt don't do well to any knife steel either. Good review too.

[@CedricAda]

+Bush Camping Tools yeah it feels stout as, very capable indeed. With big woods knives I dont mind so much about fine edge retention as long as it keeps a good working angle 👍🏻

[@BushCampingTools]

right on.

[@stevenrobertson6656]

Really like the look of that red wood stuff !

[@CedricAda]

Steven Robertson smells fantastic, too

[@juanduque4815]

Hermoso cuchillo práctico y resistente para toda ocasión de supervivencia. 🇨🇴

[@euphoricsalad7809]

When i saw the dog in the intro i thought i clicked the wrong video

[@Lugermonger35]

which takes more of a beating as far as Edge retention do you think the main cutting-edge batoning through that piece of wood or the clip being beaten down

[@BushCampingTools]

see my video explanation about the physics of batoning and by sheer coincidence, I happen to be using this very same knife design, except the one with the olive wood handle.

[@martinguerre8220]

The clip is dull

[@syehanggorogunturprakososu310]

Hello CEDRIC .. I am your subscriber from Indonesia, if you don't mind, could you review the AITOR COMMANDO Knife from AITOR COMPANY, because one of the special forces in my country still uses the knife from AITOR to this day. Thank You

[@luisdacosta1541]

That's the Portuguese Army Knife

[@chillios2222]

always liked these knives

[@subroc4]

Not my style either, but looking forward to your BK7 review. I've been close to pulling the trigger on a couple of those Ka-Bar Beckers in the past

[@danielboudreau6067]

I don't understand why they could not do a more usable saw on that blade compared to a cheap silky saw.

[@49giants3]

Oso negro means black bear in Spanish Pete, not sure If you knew. Thanks for another cool review my friend. Looks like aitor heat treated that 8? Cr Mo v pretty good huh? I mean for what it is.

[@timcline161]

Excellent video. Ty!

[@flashdamingo]

The old Spanish bayonet had a Bolo shape ......Its like Aitor used that and crossed it with a Rambo Bowie...

[@AXEL201211]

Thats a falcata

[@marshassassin9583]

So is it actually a stick tang? And does the plastic handle make it feel cheap?

[@roffe51]

my dad gave me his knife that he had in the finnish army 1990-1991

[@mt_baldwin]

I should have suggested the bk5 to you for your cutting test, it's the best slicer in the bk series, it's thinner behind the edge than most folding knives and might have made your test a bit more easy going. LOL, I'm actually a little nervous about the testing, you better not let me down 1095 cro-van!

[@moparhemi1777]

It probably will be just fine because most of the blades in 1095 (cro-van or not) are used most often for working with wood and shine with the forgiving nature of the steel^^ Even if the cutting test with rope shouldn't show an exciting performance, the steel has its well earned place in the knife industry.

[@CedricAda]

Mopar HEMI exactly, every steel has a purpose, and edge retention, to me, is much lower on the heirachy of importance when compared to toughness and edge stability. But I reckon the Cro Van will do pretty good edge wise too

[@moparhemi1777]

If or when I should have the opportunity I would want to lend you my TRC Knives Apocalypse L in m390 for doing a review. I could imagine you would like this one. Only rule would be no worksharp edge because I am a snob in this department. xD

[@timcline161]

Hola el chino q tal es? El original no se consigue en argentina

[@rodrigoteresa7944]

Damn I don't want to be a Cutlery Oriented Collector of Knowledge here but I think for it to be kukri shaped it has be way more recurved- like to the point that it's bent over.

[@CedricAda]

Kukri-esque, then? 😂😂

[@salvadorrivera3544]

Rodrigo Teresa that's why he said Kukri-ish…

[@scotthansenmtbt4110]

Bolo style, not kukri style-ish

[@franciscopino5284]

Thats right, and most important: kukris dont have a double edge.

I "was" considering getting this knife until, I saw your freshly sharpened edge cut rope only 25 times. Completely stop after only 25 cuts? I really liked that knife BUT, over 100 bucks on 440A, maybe B stainless? My heart sank... I remember your very clear warning about if it just says stainless steel, it's probably "crap steel"! And after only 25 cuts on a freshly sharpened knife (by you no less), proved that the steel in this knife is shit! Thank you!!! You just saved me from having a over 100 dollar disappointment...

[@blackhawk85us]

I got on in Iraq! Only 8 dollar

[@octavio9943]

It is a Spanish knife that has become the official knife in 16 armies around the world, no small feat!

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah Cedric, Yeah, Nice Knife. I also see how much they cost now too. But I just got a S. O. G. Pillar Fix Blade. It's a 5" blade with a choil that makes it a very good Bush Craft Knife. Seriosly if you have a chance to get one, I defenetly recommend it. The steel is CPM S35Vn I also set tge sheath for a horizontal carry, I use it as part of my basic Trio. With my Gransfors Bruks Small Forest Axe and either my Agawa Canyon 21 Boreal Saw or my WoW Folding Saw. But my Wicked Tough Saw would be a good choice too. Yeah, Atleast check it out.,,. p

jesus, i'm having reservations about this thing. bought a copycat by United Cutlery's M48 Series. Terrible, TERRIBLE knife. hope this one is much better than the other. DON'T get the copycat. it's 20$ and just as bad as I make it sound.

Buen cuchillo hasta hace 25 años. Desactualizado y caro. Sigue siendo buen cuchillo pero solo lo tendría por historia cuchillera. Pero que cueste 125$ y solo haga 25 cortes antes de perder filo muestra la vergüenza de la cuchilleria española que si buen fue una gran fuerza en los 70,80 y algo en los 90 ya no queda nada de aquello.
