Survive Knives GSO 10 - Test Finally!

CPM 3V Tool Steel

[@ibmoosed]

With that steel it should last generations. What a beauty

[@cMaXeJIJIo]

I seriously cannot recall you giving a knife 10 points. Like, EVER! Awesome!

[@blademorgan2614]

man I've learned so much about blades from watching both you and skaligrim (who "introduced" me to you) and that's coming from a guy that had the balls to call himself Blade. thanks.

[@blademorgan2614]

*skallagrim*

[@blademorgan2614]

+Blade Morgan that last one was supposed to have a (*) in front of it and behind it not be bold

[@cbr600rrturbo]

+Blade Morgan thanks for hangin with me

[@paulie4x1]

I luv a Choils especially on a large knife, For me it's like having two knife sizes in one, Especially when I use it for a One Tool Option. I never ran out of blade length because of a choil.

[@vanlurton6068]

FYI Survive! stands behind their knives. You can baton the handles and if they break or get damaged send them back. I baton my 7/7 handles, not once but several times, and my scales are fine. Just had to clean them up a bit afterwards. The coating, DLC, is pretty tough too. It doesn't really scratch as much as shadow, as you can see after you baton. You can hand buff some of it out. But I like the patina. Thanks for the review!

[@VictoryOrValhalla14]

I have a GSO 5.1 and absolutely love it. Best knife I've ever used. Good luck getting one though took me 6 months of trying to order to finally be fast enough to snag one before they sold out.

[@TheGfhicks]

I ordered one and 3 years later they have not even started making them. I have the GSO 5 so that is the last knife I will ever get from them. CPK makes great knives with the Delta 3V Steel. I moved to LT Wright and Fiddleback but for custom William Collins is the man.

[@bobwampler3387]

That is one hell of a knife! Totally worth every penny.

[@cbr600rrturbo]

+Bob Wampler (Wambo) hell ya

[@timroth1984]

thanks for all u do. I gets good laughs from your channel.

[@Sykocys]

you sound like beavis doing a knife test and that's a compliment!

[@grippymcjimping6740]

That's a sick blade. Looks like the lovechild of bk9 and a junglas.. Nice.. What a beauty.. Thanks for testing it and sharing bro!

[@ClpBushcraft]

GSO 10 is an awesome knife ! I love mine, and if I had to go into the woods to survive , and could only pick one of my knifes to take with me , it would be my GSO 10 ! Thanks for the video Tac and I can't wait for the 3rd video in the chop off series. I'm curious to know how the GSO 10 ranks with the other knives in the competition.

[@cbr600rrturbo]

+clpducks stay tuned for more Chop off vids

[@leonardofernandes6088]

This is the quintessential survival knife !

[@LargeKnives]

That is a sexy knife right there. Major props for beating on a fricken $300 knife for the peeps. Tac for president.

[@totallyrandomstuffandrevie9609]

way to beat on an expensive tool, don't know that I would have done that. the vertical chops into that log near the beginning of the video show just how well the blade geometry works. excellent video as always thanks.

[@neddmoulton1]

I love that knife! I loved it for the look itself knowing how it works makes it that much better. Thanks Tac

[@knownaigm]

Wait, who the hell buys a knife and doesn't use it for 3 years? I literally took my GSO directly to camp site from the store.

[@Veesaki]

Spectacular knife and you gave it a ten without hesitation ! Terrific review also !

[@h.craignorris324]

Great video...(so was the Granfors Bruks large splitting maul) . First time watching you. Funny comments, language, and you rock with enthusiasm. Stay Frosty, I'll be searching for more of ur vids. Thanks.

[@charlesmurphy7712]

hey tach you da man but this video you made is going to cost me 300$ I seen several other vids but yours was what convinced me that I have to get one. The GSO 10 with the CPM3V Steel is a hell of a blade, 10 OUT OF 10 !!!!!!! WOW the split in the belt loop is an adaptation to work with mollie webbing. great sheath but I wish they had one in leather.

[@littlewoody5539]

Congrats on the blade 3v is no joke . I have a knife in 3v by bark river it's a great knife . I would keep that nice and sharp for the zombies enjoy your holiday this weekend .

[@cbr600rrturbo]

+better buck beagles michigan must kill zombies soon

[@thelasthuntsmanoutdoors]

This is a great looking blade, if you ever get bored of it and wanna sell it hit me up lol. Great video TAC. Sucks Survive knives Nevers has any blades in stock. Is this a 10 outta 10

[@guns4funcajanajustin]

Nice bit great looking blade! Nice split on the oak there goes that log!

[@cbr600rrturbo]

+guns4funcajanajustin its a beast bro

[@Beemerguy929]

Before I watched the video I was thinking this knife isn't that cool, but after watching this I want one haha. I think testing this with an ESEE Junglas, or a BK 9 would be a sweet comparison. Thanks for testing this!

[@cbr600rrturbo]

+Brandon M stay tuned mang

[@mr.delacruz559]

That's an awesome big blade design made with great steel!! I know it's $300 but this looks like a knife that will last a lifetime!!I'm gonna start saving right now. wish this was in the big chop off!Your the man Tac! Thanks for still hiding your face to protect the innocent!!Ha! God bless!!

[@cbr600rrturbo]

+Daniel De La Cruz thanks Dan!

[@gnpahdc]

A 10!!!! Wow, Tac - awesome blade and ANOTHER awesome review!

[@leonardofernandes6088]

The ultimate survival knife !

[@bobshifflett7443]

love my gso's, i have 2 jimpless 4.1s, a 6, and a 10. i plan on getting a 3.5, and 5 old spec when the opportunity presents itself.. also a new spec 4.1, 4.5, 6, and 12.

[@raycontego3276]

I waited 3-4 years for this. Lol. Thanks !!!

[@cbr600rrturbo]

+Ray Contego haha sorry bro

[@MadMaxProductions-sx4hu]

Awesome vid!!! I was on the fence as I have a 5.1 and 6 on preorder but now I have to have this beast!!! Awesome knife can't wait to get my preorder in for this one

[@mikedifeo8344]

Damm, that is a hell of a blade. Bad ass knife. I agree a 10 is right.

[@enigma3813]

I have the one with a 5 inch blade. it kind of reminds me of the Ka-Bar BK2, but slightly lighter weight and of course better blade steel. i'm def considering the 10.

[@tomjuzba8450]

holy moley, a 10.... great knife I'd be nervous testing it too.300.00 a lot can happen... great vid brotha.

[@brianmccann666]

Whoa.. A 10 out 10 !!! Is this a First ?? Wow.

[@aaronnaylor59]

The survive knives are that good. I have a gso 5.1 myself . They are worth the money for sure.

[@brianmccann666]

Only at the 10+" blades are they worth the money, imho.

[@DaDevil1983]

+Aaron Naylor I agree. my survive 5.1 accompanied by a Sagewood Scout style sheet is my go-to blade. My 5.1, Sam7 , and RMJ Hawk would be what I grab in SHTF

[@marcrhodes7177]

Love your show. love the knife. wish I could afford one. I got a CS trailmaster and a Schrade bolo which are both badass. The bolo, razor sharp, is the one that helps me sleep at night. Awww yeeeaaahh!

[@Krusherdawg]

Pretty friggin sweet blade Tac! My Christmas list just keeps growing bro lol.

[@crazyhorseaz6480]

3v steel my favorite, seems a lot of folks going D2 way, not me man, your so right on, worth$300. Bucks. Hard to believe 3 years just looking at it, i guess after 3 yrs. considered old haahaa. Great knife, happy for you.

[@ProperMod]

damn! and I stress about buying a $75 Ontario! great review as always. you always seem to have fun in your videos.

[@gregsimmons6624]

From the land of Oz I'm happy , that you're so happy .

[@czechmate9591]

That's one awesome blade man I love GSO knives, thanks for showing

[@patrickgermond2750]

Great video tac! Love your channel! Seriously your knife reviews are alot more fun to watch than the prepared mind 101 channel. He acts likes he's mad and angry at life when he shows the knife. He has good info but he's just slightly pissed off in every video it seems. He's going to go on that Alone show. That should be interesting to watch. Have you thought about giving it a try? You have a great attitude and a lot of drive. I bet you'd do pretty good. lol I dont think for your 10 items they'd let you take all knives. Hahaha I know I'd have a hard time picking one favorite knife and an axe. You should look at the list they have and post what you'd choose. I can't decide on 1 or 2 knives. Take care and stay safe my friend.

[@TacticalPatriot-hd7hl]

Dude you are KILLING ME with that cliffhanger on the last episode of the zombie apocalypse show, I want to know if Tac really gets unmasks or not

[@cbr600rrturbo]

+Tactical Patriot lol Im good at that :) I hope soon

[@TacticalPatriot-hd7hl]

+Tactical I'm gonna have to binge watch it again just to hold me over till it comes back

[@bernielomax5908]

That is seriously impressive

[@CaliforniaPrepper]

Nice! That's pretty sweet broski!

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah Tac't, Yup that's my next set the G. S. O. 's, I usually like a 3Knife set. This size is one of the three.

[@GylmehsWorld1]

Greatest Knife Ever!!

[@aaronnaylor59]

Great video ! The survive knives rock

[@CedricAda]

the blade looks a lot like those big schf38 schrades. I wonder if one inspired the other

[@CedricAda]

shchf37, rather

[@paulie4x1]

Say Heah Tac't, That's what I'm talking about. Survive G. S. O. is my next series of purchase. I like buying my knives in set's. I like small medium and large, and the 10" blade is a defenet. I wanted to pull the trigger along time ago, but it seems like I always get side tracted by either Swamp Rat or Busse Combat or I would of pulled the trigger on it along time ago. First it was getting my INFIMandu which is a Ratmandu but in the INFI Steel and I got real lucky and I got two of these real rare knives, so one I use and the other one I just fondle, cause I'm a bad boy heh heh heh. Then another rare one but goodie. I was able to get a Green American Flag Ceeakote ASH-1 (Magnum) Then I took a gamble on a Busse Combat coated blade because all my other Busse's are non-coated except for my Ceeakote ASH-1. So I chanced on a Steel Heart Ergo. My gamble paid off and they came out with the Badger Attack Ergo which is similar to one of my Fav's 2Knife carries, my Rodent 7 and my Rodent 4 but in the INFI Steel, I thought this is it. But then they came out with the Ergo Battle Mistress and I just had to have it. Instead of just a pair which I was happy with, I ended up with a Threesome but no regrets, But it did set me back to start my G. S. O. 's. But I think from now on, It's clear sailing. Thanx for sharing your treasure. It's Simply TiT's, Beautiful.

[@BigIronTV]

wow! I did not expect that when you said it was only 3/16" thick.

[@oxxnarrdflame8865]

Beauty knife. But 300 clams? Like a super model I'll have to admire it from afar.

[@brianmccann666]

IT ARRIVED !!! Ordered an Ontario Knife Company (OKC) Big Blade Knife. The Rtak2. Its a Heavy Blade. OMG. Makes me Feel like Crocodile Dundee holding it. "That's not a Knife. This is a Knife. 17" overall. 10.5" Blade. Beware Evildoers !! Tactical you have to Try This one out. Wow.

[@LiveFreeOrRIP]

This vs the Junglas....wow Gonna be a hell of a chop off... For the price I bet the Junglas is top of the line.

[@truman5838]

3v tool steel? Nice ! Tough and wear resistant.

[@PacificExpressions]

Badass knife sound whacking that stump 😎

[@Airik1111bibles]

=-O 10 !! I think spending $300 is insane... BUT if I were in an asylum I definitely would want this knife.Wicked!

[@ttwbushcraftandoutdoors6473]

I WANT ONE 😀 and always love the "that's what she said" your vids rock mate.

[@BabakPA]

Brother Tac, I am looking for an old spec GSO 10! If you ever decided to part with her I would be interested to buy it from you! Thank you for the amazing videos! They are the highlight for my week:-)

[@michaelstjohn6086]

How do you know which one you have?

[@BabakPA]

+Michael StJohn I don't have one yet! I am looking for one! They changed the new GSO 10 and I like the old one better for me!

[@michaelstjohn6086]

Oh I see what you mean, probably be another year before the new one comes out.

[@BabakPA]

+Michael StJohn The new ones are out already at survive knives

[@charliejurek6433]

[@Sombody123]

Yay! Another 10/10 to the one of the few Elite! I think there were others before, no? I don't remember.

[@warequalsnofuture]

how could the 2nd red maple be like 5 inches if there is less than a 3rd of the 10 inch blade standing over in the front only? :D it had to be more like 7 inches. ;) there seems to be a "pre-crack" in the wood before you batoned it with the 2nd piece. same withe 3rd peace.

[@davidrogers182]

Great Review! Definitely worth the coins!

[@leticianunez3822]

Beautiful blade

[@FPSMurdock]

Awesome, awesome blade. If the dough I would order one for sure 🖒

[@scoopdedoop2673]

[@MrKitty-zv3dl]

Nice blade and sheath... I'm curious why they didn't put a lanyard hole on it?

[@xtian5399]

Mr. Kitty they did...its just hidden and hard to see

[@theyogbros7733]

Tact, Tact, Tact... Bro, you're killing me bro. I'm looking to buy a Great 10-11" blade knife, and you keep showing off Awesome blades adding to my list of wants. But I'll have to settle on just one... Right now I'm looking at... RTAK2, the original OKC knife that Esse based the Junglas on. Schrade45 Leroy Kershaw Camp 10 Now you show off a $300+ awesome knife. Ahhh. Put this knife in your Chop Off against the Junglas, Leroy, etc... Tactical, please... Oh, i Feel your Pain bro, I hate messing up expensive or gorgeous looking blades. And this one is both... Simper Fi !!

[@wrathofatlantis2316]

Edge holding was not great on my GSO-10: Edge micro rolled easy on wood, even with a thick open edge angle... Did much better in extreme cold!
