The Second Most Fun You Can Have for Under $50

Love these surprise uploads from my favorite knife guy when I'm about to log off.

Exactly!

i know it is kinda randomly asking but does anyone know a good website to stream new tv shows online?

[@briggsasher5478]

@Axel Derek i use FlixZone. You can find it by googling =)

[@kjkblade69]

Sharpen it the new way you tested for us the last couple of days. Low grit one side high grit other side. I sharpened a kitchen knife that would never stay sharp and the new sharpening method worked a lot better than I thought it would! The damn knife holds its edge now. I was ready to use it for a throwing knife :)

[@r1w3d]

Hell yes I've been on a roll re-watching your vids and I hop on and here a new one 👌😎

[@trentonburbank9327]

Cold Steel is the most unique knife manufacturer, they always have such awesome designs as well as low - high end products.

[@DullPoints]

I like that gag at the end. You a silly boy and I hope you never change.

[@TrustNoOne88]

Lmao loved the ending . Cold steel budget knives are what made cold steel awesome in my opinion.

[@econrey]

The “shock transference” as you mention towards the end...it definitely looked like an issue 2:27

[@datafoxy]

Revenge of Brickie.

[@econrey]

@@datafoxy I mean...Pete did rip his face off and transplanted it.

[@gmorel1916]

Well now I need to play Tarzan on the PS1.

[@samuraijaydee]

I Love the GI Tanto. Don't make the mistake thinking it's bad because it's cheap. I convexed my edge, cut the top guard off and with a dremel and a sanding drum made the grips that came with it very comfortable and grippy. The knife is a beast, and a bargain if you have skills to mod it. I prefer it over a lot of much nicer more expensive knives I own. Fantastic chopper/battoner.

[@norho8129]

Here you look like a paralel universe Lynn Thompson. Not hitting targets but hitting that cardio. Good knife btw. Love mine too.

[@oweng.3102]

I own many large and expensive fixed blade knives. This is the best one you can buy in America for the price. I often give this knife as a gift. It never disappoints.

[@HarveySpectre415]

I bought one a while back. It's a heavy slab of steel so I wouldn't pack it, but it's a great fun one for messing around in the yard or whatever. My only problem was the screws in the scales came stripped from the factory, so I just wrapped the handle in hockey stick tape and called it a day.

[@delesdog]

How have I never even heard of these in all these years

[@Nudel-nc1cp]

Oh boi. Check "uncle Randy" episodes. They are pure gold :)

[@samhenderson2947]

Nice to see someone who's not afraid to show only his failures.

[@robertcrawford274]

Great knife. Bought two, one for myself, one as a Xmas gift for my son. It’s on my belt when camping and it’s joined by the Heavy Duty Sword Cane when hiking in the woods

[@tm1182]

This was my first fixed blade that was above mtech quality, and I have 2 of them that have lasted me 8-10 years. It is such an underrated knife. Bites really deep into wood, however it does eat your baton. But this is the perfect knife to get if you want to make your own handle scales, i made a set out of Brazilian walnut

[@krustysurfer]

Would be nice to see the finished product sounds lovely I dig Walnut!

[@edsaunders1897]

Great video as always Pete. Don't think you've done the rope cut test on 1055 or 1075 - reckon you could beat that M4 edge from yesterday?

[@daeholm]

"A bit better than true junk". A glowing affirmation.

[@Owieczkin]

2:30 looks like clod pieces could be a thing once more! This time as safety gear for the Bushcraft Bois xD

[@chrisjaskulski8613]

I used to keep one in my truck. Can't believe I never thought to throw it at stuff!

[@givemeanameman1]

Holy crap dude... statistically more of those should have actually stuck in then did, significantly more.

[@fritzruttimann1517]

I’m owning two of them and I really like them. Practicing frequently knife throwing with them. The weak point is that the four grip screws are getting loose and disappearing frequently. In addition I have bought two NedFoss Dragon Riot Tantos that are mid size and approximately six centimeters shorter than the GI Tantos thus much better for wearing it as a EDC fix-blade knife. The smaller size NedFoss Tantos are of similar steel quality, for my small hand size the grip is just excellent and knife throwing works pretty well too.

[@anthonymorris479]

I wasn’t expecting that happy ending Pete.

[@Gman1024]

Truly a wood cutting willy slapper. Thanks for sharing. Be safe.

[@fuzz429]

My boy coming through with videos everyday , there is a god lol

[@Emozisbit]

This knife is tough but is it “nut shot while batoning wood” tough?

[@randallkelley3599]

Had one then lost it. Then bought the updated one. Stays in the car trunk. It’s me zombie knife. 🔪

[@Rossski]

Your vids never fail to give me a good chuckle

[@MountainFisher]

I bought two of those type sheaths made out of some pretty heavy Ballistic Nylon and I removed the plastic sleeve in it and installed some solid brass rivets on it to prevent cutting through the sides. They work very well for my O1 steel tantos I sell for $75.

[@frank2067]

I’ve been beating on the same GI Tanto since the first Transformers movie came out. It’s my favorite outdoor fixed blade. That knife throwing compilation was excellent

[@andystace5823]

“Stabby jabby “ is the quote of the year already.....

[@mypstlick]

Ive had one for years. Tough one. There was a vid of a guy demolishing a concrete block with it.

[@94slingshot]

Best video I’ve seen in awhile!

[@tmutant]

Blade HQ in the States has it at $22.95 USD on Feb 25th. The Spec Plus Alpha is at $33.85 USD.

[@woltews]

As a person who has served this is what you want in the military as you can never guarantee your knife will not be lost or destroyed in a given event and you might have to sharpen it with a real rock or old plate . Your edge will get dull no matter the steel but you want something you can resharpen quickly and you want something that will bend and not snap as snapping can be vary dangerous . Your knife will most often be used for tasks like opening crates , cutting rope , clearing vegetation or vary minor wood working. In the military you will mostly be wearing gloves while working and a fancy handle will be irrelevant . A good sheath is vary important as it means the difference between having your knife and not . I also like to have a knife that is not to rare as it gives up less information if it must be left behind ( something that was only sold in Norway no matter how good might let someone know a person from Norway was there for example ) Mora's are great in that regard .

[@DL-ij7tf]

These were one of the first "good" knives I ever bought after blundering into the Noss destruction tests on knifetests.com over a decade ago. I was blown away by how tough a knife could be for $20 (in the US). I never thought it was very attractive but now it's almost its own icon, and it was the first step on my knife obsession.

[@markcoffman494]

Your knife throwing skills would my lyn proud

[@Jeffrose_]

Looks like a great metal detecting blade. Digging in the dirt for lost treasure 🐱

[@dfgdfg_]

"A round of applause for... this inanimate carbon rod!"

[@michaelknott4895]

I love the sheet metal fixed blades that cold steel has. I have the royal kukri (I think?) and it has held up to similar abuse for years.

[@Low-effort-individual]

Ahh yes the persona music has me sold i might pick one up

[@guncotton1950]

Well hi Pete I am really glad you have some freedom to move and live now because you look so much happier -- PS. the early versions came with no scales not even crappy ones Cheers

[@Blk_Mage_Ctype]

@Cedric & Ada Gear and Outdoors If you like cheap fun knives, I recommend that you check out the Rothco Ramster. I'll bet you'd like it, and it would be fun to see you review it too.

[@jesussoto8392]

Have you tried the Cold Steel Special Forces Shovel? it's very much in the same vein as this: a super affordable tool that is nonetheless very functional; it can be used as a shovel (obviously), a hatchet, machete and throwing axe.

[@The4cp]

I've had it for a few years takes a freaking beating. Cold Steel is a great company when it comes to bang for your buck knives.

[@myballwilson]

Have you ever considered using the twisted rope cut offs to make fire starters?

[@johna6291]

Put a pinky lanyard on the handle. It will increase the power of your swing- and grip security- considerably.

[@bahjinelson3986]

Been thinking of getting into G.I.-craft. Good to know there is a knife just for it!

[@dubon6372]

You need to get the "tanto machete" made by cold steel, it is only 13 inches long and I could split a coyote in half with that thing. I got it for 13 dollars (USA) and the price went up to $43, I just checked. That thing is my solo hiking emergency, and last resort self defence instrument, it is like two GI tantos in length not including the handle, and the same steel. I absolutely never go into the woods alone without it in my pack. I can pull it out of my pack while hiking in 3 seconds . I love it.

[@Tjtiki1]

Knives are great. Bring on the kitties

Bit off topic. But where do you think is the best place to buy spyderco knive in Australia?

[@brianf9619]

I bought mine for $19.99 about 10yrs ago , the knife is practically indestructible and for the money its practically unbeatable, some guys cut the top guard off to make it more of a bush craft knife , lol , just get one ...👍✌🖖

[@knoxknifemods]

What watch are you wearing in this video man? I dig it. Really enjoyed this one, your reviews on big tough blades are always gonna be a favorite

[@krustysurfer]

Based on the heads up you've given me I'm looking at the knife right now I can get it here in the states for I think $34 USD it looks like something worth having like you said just keeping it in the van or the car for baton emergency Bushcraft type knife I wonder what kind of handle one could put on this thing for the cheap that would be enduring my question is this knife built with a full Tang? If it is then a custom handle could definitely be worth something with added value pretty good reviews on the durability of this knife thanks Pete for the heads up and the review

[@andrewmcgibbon9785]

The cold Steel sells for about $33 US. With free shipping. About $25 with $8-$9 shipping The Ontario spec plus is about $33 with free shipping.

[@alcmantyrtaeus]

$20-25 US. These are a known as knives that just won't die from abuse. Older versions in SK-5 are still floating around on the second hand market. The YT channel Real Life SHTF has a video on it.

[@rockhopperify]

Stabby jabby!! Love it!

[@erickvazquez6518]

I have a big Schrade in 1095 that I use the same way. I think I found it on SMKW for around $24.

[@Pjotr1982]

I have a Cold steel kukri machete in 1055 steel and it dulls even when cutting reeds. It's a very soft steel for my taste.

[@DarkFox717]

As a very professional casual knife thrower who hasn't thrown in several years: it looks like you were letting go a bit too high. And without knowing what that board is made of I wonder if it's a little too dense. I have a Cold Steel True Flight that makes a pretty good throwing/multi use knife.

[@coldsteelcollector808]

Most places here in the US sell these for $20-22 I think the most I’ve seen it was $29 😃 I love cold steel!!!!

[@alcmantyrtaeus]

I bought one from a guy I knew at a show who had accidentally marked the sticker on the box $125. When I told him the market price, he looked it up and said "$25 and it's yours."

[@coldsteelcollector808]

@@alcmantyrtaeus nice! Awesome price... I would even pay as high as $35 for this beast I feel that at $35 for a solid fixed blade with a more than decent sheath it’s still worth it (being cold steel) I trust them with my life daily all I EDC is cold steel models (fixed and folder) so I trust the quality and would still be comfortable paying $35 for this...other brands not so much but that’s just me lol 🤙🏼

[@holden3083]

👍. They seem like a relatively strong knife. U might have a better idea. Why are knives more expensive in oz? I can understand $10 - 20 bucks more, but when they are double / triple the price. Where do you generally buy your knives & sharpening equipment from? It’s good to see your channel has grown over the years. Cheers

[@leoangere5310]

My favorite thrower, though one of the pin screws on mine busted pretty quickly. I re-riveted it a couple of times, but still haven't come up with a method to make it truly moron-proof. Heck, even sans scales it throws acceptably.

[@tonycanniffe2360]

Same experience. I throw it with three screws atm.

[@thechugdude]

Don't underestimate Jet Moto for PS1. That knife looks awesome for the price. When your knife throws weren't sticking I almost thought you were poking at Cold Steels newest video featuring their new face "Stick boy". 😂

It's still $25. They used to be a few bucks cheaper and made of SK5. The first knife I ever made I used this knife as a stencil on a bar of DC53 and cut it out with an angle grinder. THAT was a beast. Completely off topic, but DC53 is so underused. I'm just glad its the one steel the Italians actually know how to heat treat, granted they had to add a fancy name to it.
