Habilis Bush Tools New Knives - Blade Show 2018

[@WarGrrl3]

Steven and his company have the honesty, integrity and demeanor that all companies should have. GOD Bless them and good luck with those awesome knives. Great vid as usual.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Yes they do

[@SilenTide]

I have owned the Habilis bush tool since 2015 or 16. It has seen hundreds of hours of light to heavy use. This knife/ company doesn’t have the popularity it deserves. Extremely comfortable in heavy and extended use. I don’t use gear unless I would bet my life on it performing. I couldn’t speak more highly of a piece of gear.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I have beat the crap out of my Pathfinder Trade Knife and it is fine as well.

[@southernappalachianrecon]

I'm from northwest GA, love to support companies from here, now I've gotta buy one of these knives

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

You should

[@Shooter11B]

Thanks for the heads up Bryan, I just went and bought one of their new choppers and a bow tool!

[@karikovacs3824]

No SRT anymore? Glad I've still got mine. Love your videos, thank you very much.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Yes, he still offers the SRT.

[@danlabowskie9428]

Love my SRT.

[@paulhouse7946]

Cool knives Brian! I like that chopper, and the finger choil is a big plus on that one.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

It is cool

[@ironpirite49]

Habilis knives are just great tools. I had the bushtool for awhile and it got me to split a fingertip open being careless. Wish I still had it. It's currently sitting at the bottom of a river somewhere after it fell out of my canoe and I still haven't gotten around to replacing it yet.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Bummer

[@troymanning3150]

Thanks Brian! Love my Habilis SRT! If I only had time to grab one knife that would be it

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

It is a beast

[@mattg6136]

That big knife at first I thought why not put the handle all the way up to the finger choil but then I thought for battoning stuff it makes more sense. As you say it depends what you use you knives for. Always nice to see what's out there. Good vid. Thanks

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Thank you

[@Timothy_Jones]

Great video! I know the material is 1095, but what are the other specs on that Scout? Didn’t see it on their website. Thanks!

[@BushcraftCooking]

Great knives, what I liked the most was that all the cord has a groove for bow drill bow drill.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I agree

[@jonnyboat2]

Now that I look closer at the Habilis knives, they look like they’re drop point blades with a clip point combination. What do you call that? A modified clip point, modified drop point, or something different. Whatever it is, I really like it.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I just call it a cool knife

[@jeremyb0793]

Yeah I'm going to check those out those are beautiful knives

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

You will be glad you did.

[@guns4funcajanajustin]

Good looking knives keep them coming

[@jonnyboat2]

BTW, relative to the Explorer model, why do ya think the spine of the knife takes that dip towards the tip?

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Because it is a clip point or Bowie style and that is how they are designed.

[@charlesdriggers199]

I like a big knife . That is a knifetie. Quality knives.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Yes they are

[@arshanmostafavi9621]

Did they finally thicken the handle scales ? People used always say they were really thin and now they're looking a little beefier, or maybe I'm just mistaken.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I am not sure

[@jonnyboat2]

I like those knives. Nice looking edge grind or relief.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Yep

[@jonnyboat2]

Survival On Purpose It’s good to see you again. I was away for awhile, now I’m trying to catch up on what I missed. You still have the best outdoor related review channel on KZbin.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

You are too kind

[@jonnyboat2]

The clip point designation I know, it’s the reasoning behind the design of the clip point that I’d like to learn about. Looking at it, it seems that it would good for drilling among other things. I’ll check it out on Google or look for a KZbin vid about it. All of the knife shapes and designs have a purpose. What are the thoughts and reasonings behind their unique shapes? I’ll look into it.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I have no idea

[@charlesjames5486]

the divot is an anvil for batoning

[@jonnyboat2]

Charles James thank you. I appreciate you telling me that.

[@barryrosenlieb6092]

Outstanding products, now i need a Scout!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Of course you do

[@zeke1eod]

Hmmm, wonder how that big chopper will do in the balance testing facility at Survival on Purpose world wide headquarters......... can't wait to see that video!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Hmmm indeed

[@neddmoulton1]

Love those blades. I wish you covered prices.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

They are on his website

[@williamlinch5718]

Good video-G10 is glass filled Micarta and is more durable than linen or paper filled. The red spacers on Buck Knives classic hunting knives are linen filled Micarta. Habilis has a better design for bushcraft.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

They do a good jib

[@gstokely7]

A good video and nice looking knives and machete.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Thanks!

[@adammorgan2670]

Did you happen to visit Mr. Joe. Flowers at blade show?

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Stay tuned

[@ttwbushcraftandoutdoors6473]

I have 2 bushtools, one in each colour and i love them 😀

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Cool

[@anthonyvisconte7977]

How many did you make in brown handle scales? Never seen brown before?

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Trade Knife has a brown handle

[@anthonyvisconte7977]

Survival On Purpose hm must be an older one. Mine is orange

[@inthewoodswithbigfoot3941]

I have the old Habilus trade knife in the orange. Sweet knife, but the grind was really rough. All of them that I saw from them was that way. I was wondering if they have fixed that or is that still a part of the process? I have honed it out pretty smooth and it is an excellent knife.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Really, mine was sharp enough to give me a few stitches

[@inthewoodswithbigfoot3941]

Survival On Purpose it was really sharp, but the grind wa rough.

[@seanthomasdowd]

I love the look of that explorer

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

me too

[@sawdust6968]

great man,great knives:-)

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Yep

[@Caintuckee64]

My 1st survival knife was my U.S.M.C. Kabar. I like these knives though! *SCOUT* going to their web site to look'em over!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Cool

[@Caintuckee64]

Hold on... I want to ammend that. My 1st survival knife was probably my Remington Boy Scout knife, I gave it to my boy for Christmas a few years ago.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I wish I still had my original Boy Scout knife. I kept that thing SHARP. Still have a few 40 year old scars from it.

[@terryw.milburn6414]

Umm Hmm Drool Drool Thanks Bryan ATB Ter God Bless

[@paulchambliss7580]

Bought the bush tool, wrapped it in saran wrap with oil on the blade. Blade rusted, and the handles faded. Never used it & it ruined. Company didn't want to acknowledge or help in anyway. DON'T WASTE YOUR $ on these tools.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Just curious. Why did you wrap it in Saran Wrap? I can tell you that my Habilis Pathfinder Trade Knife I bought about 7 years ago lives in it’s leather sheath (and hasn’t barely been used for a few years now) is still in fine condition. I couldn’t tell you if the handle has changed color because I don’t care. Maybe the couple of years of frequent use built a patina in the blade? Either way, I stand behind my assessment that these are excellent tools.

[@paulchambliss7580]

@@SurvivalOnPurpose I wrapped it with & placed oil on it because 1095 will rust without oil

[@CommonCentsOutdoorsman]

Bryan please stop this immediately!!! I can not possibly buy another knife! My knife buying synapses are firing like crazy and if I purchase one of these knives your name will come up in the inevitable conversation I will have with my wife... I will not take responsibility this time so keep a sharp eye because there will be fury!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Who? Me? ;-)

[@bashfulbrother]

No offense bryan, but his knives are crap.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

None taken but I have to disagree
