The Buzzard Multi Tool EDC Knife From Hydra 2019

[@ospididious]

We're having a heat wave... its like minus 4 C's... You crack me up, Lars.

[@johnwakamatsu3391]

I like watching your survival videos and product evaluations. I have even purchased a number of items based upon your recommendations even if I do not go camping. I am most concerned about earthquakes and have emergency supplies. I even have Japanese saws to prune trees but, you cannot burn wood in your yard because of air pollution.

[@jeremystroud3653]

From the Russian Hunter Skis to the boots to Silky saws, everything I've ever heard you mention has been the best of the best

[@wordeone]

I bought some Buckwheat and made a soup today. I have never tried it before and I was pleasantly surprised. It has a nutty flavour that I enjoyed very much. I used pork(of course) carrots, onions and potatoes. It was a product of Russia and I think it will become a part of my diet. Love your channel. Keep up the good work. Don't let the haters bother you. ;~}

[@mz.6109]

This utility knife is nice but I must admit I have had my eye on a very new Mora I would like to get. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and all your effort and work! We often times forget to say Thank You when folk like yourself add a great deal to our Toolkits. Have a great week Lars!

[@caryjolly5662]

Awsome knife.i believe it would do any chore around camp.

[@iberiksoderblom]

In Denmark, temperatures are like in June !!! Neck-knifes are illegal in Denmark... (Politicians are curlingkids, that think all of Denmark is like Nørrebro) It looks like a good knife. But very bulky... I cary a small Eldris as EDC. With a ferro-rod when I'm outside city limits.

[@HydraKnives]

This is why we included the TAC.-CLIP ;-) you don't need to carry it in your neck, you can carry it on your belt or your bag strips! thanks a lot man!

[@chrisosh9574]

I have noticed you using the Buzzard for a while, I was wondering when you would mention it. I like the look of it, a real working tool and not really gimmicky. Don't see a problem with you supporting anything you like. It's good to get an opinion from an honest man.

[@silvergrizzly316]

Nice presentation of the Buzzard multi tool Lars, unfortunately I've stockpiled tons of survival gear over the years, I wouldn't have room for anything else. Besides I've reached that age where the only roughing it I'm gonna do is a pop-up camper and a black & white TV😄😄😄. GREAT VIDEO as always my friend!!! Many blessings, ☆Jay. 👍👍

[@basroos_snafu]

M3 was a halftrack, M5 was a light tank and M6 used to be a heavy tank. This is an amazing tool. Thanks for the demo Lars, but I have decided to stick to your advise concerning the Mora knife instead, plus my Dutch army Victorinox, which I've been in love with from the beginning. Congratulations on 125.000 subs, that's truly awesome.

[@Shastavalleyoutdoorsman]

That's certainly an interesting piece of cutlery. Thanks for an honest review Lars!

[@MichaelR58]

Lars, thanks for sharing the new knife and the Friday video !

[@rolandpl1958]

Hi Lars. Thanks for testing this knife and showing it to us. I just pledged the amount on Kickstarter for the plain neck knife version.

[@BillHalliwell]

G'day Lars, I can't believe that there are people complaining about your support of a Kickstarter product. You're a man of integrity and honesty. Helping out a new company get established, after extensive 'real world' testing is a good thing to do. I'm certain that if the knife didn't perform properly we would never have heard about it. Who cares if you paid for the testing knife or not. I really like Wharncliffe style knives and that one looks like it would be very handy. Good on you, Lars! Don't worry about haters. I'll check out their web site and Kickstarter page and if it looks like it would be useful to me I'll buy one; not only because you gave it a thumbs up but because when it comes to knives I've got a pretty good idea of what is a good product. Good on you, mate! Cheers, BH

[@scubaman2546]

I respect Lars' decision to support this Kickstarter product. It's not a good fit for me; however, it could suit other users, eh.

[@mz.6109]

Bill Halliwell Exactly what I felt too. Thank you for your comment

[@HydraKnives]

Thanks for your kind words Bill ✊, bear with us bro, we need more people like you on Hydra little community. By the way, I just want to make this clear, we have sent Buzzard to (not only Lars) but other 30 testers, totally FREE, they all are helping us selfessly. If we had the money to advertise our knives, why would we run a kickstarter project? That is just an absurd idea. If we had the money we would had launch this knife into the market instead of asking for support! Thanks a lot to everyone, even the ones who do not like Buzzard but they respect it, you all sirs are true gentlemen. I wanted to thanks Lars as well, he did an amazing job and it has been an honor to meet him, from a fan who knew one of his stars it has been a trully honor to meet you Lars, be safe and stay well. See you around guys, Hydra team

[@outdoorwallah5864]

You have a good weekend also Lars. I enjoyed your trip out to the forest. This knife looks like a good solid Stanley knife 👍

[@jameshutto3047]

Found you through far north bushcraft and am impressed. I love how you call out the flashy fakes. It seems this is your life not a weekend away.

[@eddie5211]

10 degrees in the UK feels like spring. Got some pentagon Mongoose gloves very impressive.

Hi from Spain .Great video of a great knife.

[@timothykuzmin1217]

I'm so confused on what that big brown blob on the table was. Walnut from Chernobyl or funky bread.

[@flynthouston]

Lars, I love your vids! Keep up the awesome work. I am hailing from Texas.

[@Julian-bq9qv]

Looks like a very useful knife, size and shape!! Thank you!!

[@robertfoote3255]

Doing some product testing for people is not selling out!!! It's helping out!!!!!!! Seen this little knife in some past vids...now we know about the "Buzzard" by Hydra... 😉 Nice little simple knife!. Loctite those kidex screws....just a tiny drop...I too have that same delema..... 😁 Best Wishes Lars!

[@goodcitizen5344]

Lars is awesome !!! Like your style dude

[@trainsinkansas576]

Need to use a little blue loctite. Blue only. If you need to take the screws you can. I use blue loctite on guns all the time, especially mounting scopes and rings.

[@Blueswailer]

That's an interesting knife, looks versatile as well. The build itself doesn't seem to have much that could break, scratches and nicks notwithstanding one would probably have to abuse that knife hard to get it to fail. I suppose some "camp ninja" could manage that as well, there's always batoning and throwing knives that aren't built for throwing. Kydex sheaths are surprisingly easy to lose screws on! Locking screws on balisongs/butterfly knives do the same for me. I'll keep this knife manufacturer in mind, thanks for the tip and have a great weekend Lars!

[@HydraKnives]

Thanks Algiz :) you have a clinical eye and we totally love it :D! thanks for your kind words and knives up!

[@throatnotchingtroutzzz6789]

Cool little knife/ tool. Odd tip, but maybe more useful than "normal" ones for small tasks?? Nice day in the heat. Do not forget the sun protection lotion.

[@TheOtherBill]

At one time I had a Kershaw "Random Task" knife with the same type of blade. It was called "reverse tanto" this is pretty much a copy of that. I just think of it as a wharncliffe without the rounded end. It is a great blade shape for everyday cutting.

[@jeffwise3851]

@@TheOtherBill Great point for digging out slivers.

[@novascotiagrown]

Found you last week, super awesome channel

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thanks!

[@JohnSmith-ym3zq]

Lars, you should try some blue loctite on all screws every time you get a new kydex sheath, think this should help dude.

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Lars......You tested that knife all wrong! HA! :-) Good video my friend!

[@constantcomment1954]

Some of the comments here are the result of a freak-out. It is a kickstart, not a paid review. Are those who are whining patreons and contributing to the channel or do they just want to complain? They have to do what is best for the family and if there was a paid review sometimes who could criticize them? None of you have ever changed you mind?

[@rasbhangi]

Thank you Lars, I've been wondering about that knife.

[@InimitaPaul]

Looks really nice and I do love my knives. Just pledged for the full kit, shame I have to wait until May for it lol. Thank you for the review.

@@SurvivalRussia I have many knives and have them for an emergency. I put some in my cars to use as a tool and carry a small survival pack. I just think they are good for an emergency and when you live in a very large city you cannot hunt game or shot animal pests like you can in the countryside.

Looks a good little tool

[@loupiscanis9449]

Thank you , Lars .

[@jamesortiz5388]

Good review Lars.

[@Schmidt54]

Hm, I'm missing some kind of handle material - maybe a grip from G-10 or something. I do not like the "pure" metal grips (aluminium grips I do not like either). Maybe even some nice wooden handles - does not have to be something fancy, just functional. The sheath setup looks very good!

[@MarkWRCCTV]

You can send some of that heatwave over my way. Was -33c this morning and that is pretty much the warmest start to the day I've seen this week. Very cool knife, by the way.

[@SurvivalRussia]

That's pretty cold Mark :)

[@MarkWRCCTV]

Indeed. You know it's a cold winter when your friends in Irkutsk are amused by your predicament. Whatever, it builds character! Cheers!

Looks cool. What kinda of gloves are those? I cant find cold weather gloves that I can stand to wear. I usally go with wool gloves with the fingers cut off...

[@jhni1]

If you tell me the diameter of the ferro rod I will turn you up a bit holder that fits. Love your Awesome videos

[@williamofy6376]

Good Vid Lars, I collect knives (not because I am collector LOL) I am always trying to find a better blade. Simple fixed blade are the best. I've found price doesn't mean better or worse knife. I have had a couple "name brand" knives that broke a rivet or just lost sharpness after little use( Lars would say-" Not so awesome"). I found a local guy who makes his own and it's still my go to knife. i would probably add some para cord to the ring end of the knife- great review, keep them coming. maybe change the color on the first starter handle, because how many time have we started a fire in the dark,because we lost track of time, and can barely see the fire starter?? LOL

[@SpectreOZ]

-4C is a heatwave? I would imagine it takes a while (for non natives) to acclimatize to the local weather pattern, here a heatwave is 50C (and 10C cold) LOL 🤣 Nice little EDC 👍

[@mattm5001]

With that hole in the handle you could probably use it like a Karambit if needed.

[@ikadan]

We are also having a heat wave In Finland it's +4degrees celsius. I'm thinking I can get my fishing gear out soon. 😁

[@thebelfastvikingmartinbrow3603]

I stick to my Mora and multi tool. Simply because I know they work plus well under half the cost of this.

[@calvinmientke3539]

I watched the "Buzzard" promo. Yes, you can but don't chop stupid stuff. Don't throw your knife. Be nice to your friend. Don't change the rod, offer a different/ extra holder for the driver. Good thinking on the extender, just for tempory! Save some paper to burnish the blade. Nice blade!

I know im being "that guy" but, if you have to carry the extention to use it properly, couldnt you just carry a small screwdriver instead?

[@SurvivalRussia]

You could. For this to be fully functional, one would actually have to carry at least a few different bits of the most common type.

[@hellsscoutact5379]

Looks like it might make a real nice camp food knife. Keeps ya from cross contamination.

[@abuzz1914]

[@bubblenhalf]

I like the survivor tool kit. I think the screw pit was meant to be attached on the knife directly without the tool kit!!!!!

[@mikeinthewoods2193]

It looks sharp. But I think I rather get a multi tool and the mini skrama (varustuleka)

Hey Lars, what do you think of pocket knives for going outdoor? I recently offer a doukdouk (i think you got one) to my brother and i find it sturdy and actually capable of a lot of task.

[@shockwavecity]

I really like a knife with a pinky ring in it. Not enough designers doing that in their fixed blades. The amount of control and security it adds to your grip is really worth it, if the handle is shaped right!

[@TheScoundrel70]

rewtuser , I agree! I find the Cold Steel bird 'n trout a very useful knife, as well as the Tops C.U.T. 4.0 for something a little larger. I'm not into knife fighting so the hawk bill karambit style knives really don't do much for me, but a good utility blade can benefit from an ergonomically placed ring

[@thebelfastvikingmartinbrow3603]

And then the knife catches on something or gets pulled hard a damaged finger . And if you have proper training with any other knife then you have more ways to control the knife

[@gravijta936]

@@SurvivalRussia I ask for two reasons. First, Doesn't it come dangerously close to breaking your rule for not endorsing companies or products? I mean, I know your rule is more about sponsorships and paid advertisement, it just seems like walking the line. The Second thing is your logo is on their campaign (along with many others). My concern is, what if it flops like so many other Kickstarters or the end product turns out to be inferior to the one you reviewed (which also frequently happens on Kickstarter)? Would that not have an impact on your own credibility? It is difficult to convey tone through simple text, but I am genuinely asking and consider Kickstarter to be risky business.

[@patrickmurphy9115]

Why the hell not!! This is an opinion made from using this knife in the field not just from the initial opening of the product. Lars has a wealth of experience of using equipment that is new. He said from the start that this was done from his long time evaluation of the knife.
