@Norse Woodsman i just check the names u said and u 100% right specially the srk knife !!!!!!

[@stouttom5]

I have an F1, the shape/profile is great for strength and prying, so that's not a bad thing. The only issue i find with F1 is the Laminated steel chips out if accidentally hit against stone. Lilly's knife edge looks less brittle, so it might roll but that is easily resolved

[@RimfireNZ]

At a certain point you could apply that argument to any knife. She's made a knife, why are you trying to take that away from her? How many knives have you made and taken to market? One less than her I suspect.

[@herbertbentele2920]

In principal a good knife. However, for me, you did what everyone else does. You left out something that really belongs on a bushcraft knife. There is no handhold for bow drill in the handle. From you, I really did expect that. I would actually like to know your reason for leaving that out.😭

[@bdh3949]

You probably should have kept both eh?

[@geegnosis8888]

Bow drills are for real emergencies only. Why weaken the knife and ruin it with a divot that will wear out and is not really necessary. Using ferro rod is easier especially if you're not strong (like me). I have already attached an emergency ferro rod in a hidden place on the sheath. Easily done and with all the sheath holes and spaces there is plenty of room for custom mods.

[@JCrook1028]

Ikr? Myself I'd prefer a carbon steel blade so it also can be used to throw sparks and then the screws would make sense. But with a SS blade and carbon screws? I just don't understand that choice at all.

[@ancientmariner7473]

You're both right - the mix of metals will readily corrode the carbon. The blade also suffered very heavy pitting corrosion from her salt water test. Wrong grade of SS if your using anywhere near the sea. The screws are cheap to supply and require no skill to fit ......unlike rivets....but i guess that's the sacrifice you pay for "Made in Taiwan". Notwithstanding the OTT sale price!

Paused the video seconds after starting it to order the knife. After watching the video was not disappointed. I enjoy your videos in general, liked your explanations of how you developed your APO-1. I recall in Mora testing you used Kansbol and Garberg with a bow drill for fire starting. Am curious what your thought process was for shaping the lanyard hole on your APO-1 knife. All in all appears like a great utility knife to carry in general. Keep up the good work with your videos.

Congratulations Lilly !! I want one ! You have thousands of Canadian fans, perhaps an arrangement between you and Canadian Prepper to be your Canadian distributor / affiliate would facilitate many more sales than shipping from Austria. In addition, might help both your sales if you and CP did a cross promotion of the Bugout Roll and Apo-1 ! I'm not sure if Canada Customs will add a cost to Canadian sales of the APO-1 ... but I'm sure you can get around that by making Canadian Prepper your official Canadian office/affiliate or licensed distributor. I am a retired Toronto lawyer, and I would be more than happy to volunteer my services and give you a working contract (that you could amend or fine-tune to your business needs). I'm happy to provide this draft and any unofficial advice you need, for free as a gift to help you and Canadian Prepper's sales. And no I don't know CP, though I've been a fan of you both since your channels started.Anyway, good luck, I know this knife will 'cut down' poor quality competitors, ha. It seems a lot of quality field research went into your final product. Very impressive ... go, Lilly go !

$128US for an AUS8 knife made in Taiwan is not a product I would buy. I wish you the best of luck on selling them though.

[@aldenunion]

Like with Cold Steels,the Aus 8 in thicker Billets get's tempered to different HRC than the 1\8 thick Aus8A stock.I bet this just under 5mm thick would be much better blade than the 1\8 stock most are accustomed.1095 and Aus8A when thicker ,are very similar.Wants to sharpen easily.Russian and German smiths use the thicker Aus8 billets much and they make great knives.I bet these are nice.Want to go Spend $300 for BOHLER DNH7 and go baton camp wood with it? I have a Citadel Vannak 3 all polished up I tote when in nice clothes,so mirrored I hate to beat it up while these could truly use without crying lol...The Aus8A your thinking of is not 4.8mm,would be more than she asks with those scales and secure-ex.

Thank you for designing this great knife. I have had knives issued in the service and so far the K-bar was the most practical. I love the thickness of your design and rust is always an issue in ocean and humid jungle environments. Oiling has always helped with this issue. Again thanks.

ver good looking knife, as a kind it is well mead, But as a tool, it is required to be a thicker & a heavier keel or. end hammer as we Brits call them, No-slip guard to stop the hand slipping on to the blade Good full tang, Wotck well I like it But check out the British army field knife. similar in many ways but much heavier, with a 10 " blade & six-inch handle Just thought I'd say well done, As a scout knife, it would work well for the beginner.

dude in the video she said that it wasnt meant to be used as a bow drill and that it was her fault so what are you complaining about? as for vg-10 steel it chips easier than aus-8 so idk what argument you have either. this looks like a solid knife to me the only downfall is the handle screws should be a more rust-proof material like stainless rather than coated steel.

[@jasonburns956]

Dragon800 the whole thing about the divot seemed to detract from the knife for no reason she acted like she really wanted it to be one then didn't put a divot on her own knife. Aus8 wont chip as much as vg10 but any steel will chip prying things off rock. Aus8 seems to be regarded as a shit steel by most especially at that price point.

@@tinman3381 ROFLMAO, thanks so much for the "education" for us bigots and snobs. I have an atlas and am well aware of the differences in the countries and even have knives from each of them. Perhaps reading comprehension is not your strong suit, so I will try to explain "one more time" for some folks who seem to be taking any criticism as some kind of personal issue. 1) I never said anything like the knife was crap, or cheap. What I said was : $128US for an AUS8 knife made in Taiwan is not a product I would buy. I stand by that statement. 2) I can name quite a few companies (hardly snobby ones) that sell knives at that price point (or less) that are made in the good ol USA. Buck, Bear, Case, Benchmade, ESEE, Emerson, KA-BAR, Ontario are just a few of the big ones, there are plenty more besides those. 3) If you like the knife, buy all means buy it. I am not and have not knocked Lilly at all. I love her videos and will continue to watch them. But my personal opinion is that there are many of her fans (myself being one of them) that would have gladly forked out more money for a product made in the US or Europe from more premium materials. For example, I'm pretty sure she could have worked a deal with Bark River Knives like many other designers have done and produced a knife of higher quality materials (like maybe CPM154 or CPM3V) for around the $250US mark. I'd buy that in a hot second. If that makes me a knife snob I make no apologies for it. Having said that, I own knives with blades that were hammered out of car bumpers in India to Cold Steel Knives made in {gasp} Taiwan to high end customs. They are all good in their own right, depending on if they are worth the price. For "me" that kind of knife at that price point doesn't seem appealing. Make more sense now?

Very nice survival knife

Kannst du dieses Messer auch auf deutsch vorstellen bitte bitte bitte 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@freddyg6940]

I have the “SOG Creed” in Aus-8 I have abused that knife more that any other knife simply because I actually hated it lol, that knife never Broke it is a pain in the ass to sharpen but it’s won’t fail. Just saying AUS8 is strong Stuff.

[@shino8854]

AUS-8 hard to sharpen? that is the only positive point in my experience, that although it has shit edge retention it is easy to sharpen. Only takes me 5 mins to sharpen on a whet stone and strop to get it shaving sharp.

[@49giants3]

Cold Steel made the srk in aus-8 for like $60 us. Wtf

[@49giants3]

Just saying. People can buy whatever they want.

[@rickramirez8664]

I like the velcro and snap combo on the belt loops.

[@gulfrelay2249]

Rick Ramirez need to be larger,3" for pistol belt

[@brianmiller6055]

I like it. No gimmicks, just a straight forward field knife.

[@Red_Proton]

That's a great knife! Congratulations, Lilly! Going through all of the various reviews, tests, and revisions required to design a knife is time consuming and hard work, so I respect what you have accomplished. I really like the quality features that you've included. Congrats!

[@tonyashton780]

Superb bit of kit I just would have used stainless corby bolts on the handle. This is a well thought out outdoor knife that should provide years of service. I am giving this serious thought as my new outdoor go anywhere blade. I am a big fan of AUS 8 A steel, when correctly tempered and a RC hardness under 60 its ultra reliable. I also like a stone wash finish. I have properly abused my Cold Steel Tiger Karambit in AUS 8 it has not broken yet. Very well done Lilly I have just subscribed too. Regards Tony (uk)

[@jeffslaven]

Wow! The thickness of this blade is unreal! Baton like a beast! I love it Lilly! As well, the grind and the tip are perfect for wilderness tasks. Love the micarta scale and grip, and the pommel/lanyard is probably going to be a huge selling point. I will check to see if I can get one under NZ law.

[@eturnerx]

I'm no lawyer, but it should be okay. It doesn't have features that make it an illegal offensive weapon. IE there's no false edge and it's a fixed blade. AFAIK outside of the immediately illegal stuff, the laws mostly relate to carrying: Anything bigger than a small folding 5cm blade knife and you need a reason and anything is a weapon if presented as such. I've imported a knife - customs opened it, but let it through. Ymmv.

[@eturnerx]

Apologies: the term is "Prohibited offensive weapons"

[@flyingeye9133]

great knife I love it what we need next is the APO2 survival axe strong handle sharp edge and a hammer the other end a good camp axe is always useful infact you could have yore own lineup of APO series survival gear

I'm still trying cause I'd like to put one on my bushcraft page, would like to see how it goes and give it away on my page as a prize, i'm trying to open the people of Australia to new knife makers, good luck with the sales and design Lilly

[@axerxes3981]

Nice knife! Looks like you did your homework and produced a terrific blade. Is the cost of $110 in Euros or US dollars?? Thanks for sharing.

[@Stargazer131000]

Nice looking knife. it would be helpful to know how many times you had to re-sharpen it during your trip to Africa. Or if it needed re-sharping at all.

[@frankohero]

Yes. This is a knife I LIKE! Great stuff. I was looking for something like that for many years... You just built it too late for me.

[@anndebaldo7381]

I just tried to order this knife and it said that it's out of stock. When will it be available again?

[@陳盈璋-y7r]

As a Taiwanese. I am very happy to see this word on the knife.

[@kerwan4183]

陳盈璋 but its not your..

[@陳盈璋-y7r]

Burnt Guy I know that. You don’t need to tell me.

[@陳盈璋-y7r]

Walker Wan Of course not mine. I mean, I am very proud that this knife is made in Taiwan.

[@Jean_GoogleHuang]

Yes, me too

[@staticGenerator4You]

OUT OF STOCK!! Let us know when they’re available again. Are they available for backorder?

[@paulwolf2775]

Very, very impressed with your new knife. You really thought this through and used a lot of engineering, in your design. I like the full tang, myself, as it's the strongest of all knives.The size, is in a par with most military survival knives. I mean real ones, not "Rambo" junk. My hat's off to you young lady. I wish, you well in your endeavors on it. Btw, I hope to purchase, at least one. Definitely, sharing.

[@RonRay]

"AUS8" ... Be sure to bring a sharpening stone with you; you'll need it! This steel is too soft!

[@Vares65]

Yes, but AUS8 is super easy to sharpen and will take a razor sharp edge.

[@zzz7zzz9]

everyone should have a sharpener anyway.

[@paulspudman]

Must use a soft steel or knife will chip and/or break.

[@budssuds2861]

Your talent is endless. Great job!

[@csh6220]

That is a great looking knife! I love the stout tip, and the sheath is very nice. I bet that they will fly off the shelves. Way to go Lilly!

[@jasonburns956]

Was with you right up to aus8

[@miamivice966]

And made in Taiwan :-)

[@jasonburns956]

miamivice966 not to bothered about that so much (its where the best spydercos are made) i think the problem mite be she designed it she wants money/ she commissioned the build she wants money/ shes selling them from her store only and she wants to be payed for that too

[@miamivice966]

@JF’S GIRL Stewart correct. Seki Japan.

[@jasonburns956]

JF’S GIRL Stewart im thinking of the titanium frame locks

[@whilomforge3402]

Jason Burns yeah, AUS8 is garbage.
