Oh God ! From the second he draws that knife out, i fall in love right away.

[@richardlouis4412]

Great video! I love how you illustrated the knife's various uses and capabilities. Reminds me of my own wilderness ventures. From now ony companion will be the Apocalypse!

[@francoisborghys8350]

Excellent choice of knives, the best stainless steel knives out there. Now the mille cuori and you have a formidable trio...very nice to watch...nice music...great!

Great channel folks. TRC, here I come👍🏻 The one I want is not available right now but DLT will hopefully notify me when it is. 🤠 This guy has good taste in knives and dogs.

This is a quality video with a quality knife and when i read the comments i can tell this guy is also a nice person. At least one that knows in which (sad) world we are living. The TRC is pretty badass. I dont own it but it looks great! I wonder if it could beat my Fällkniven S1pro. See you in the next video. You earned yourself another subscriber. Take care 😊

[@vgabond3096]

Thank you for your comment. This world is very different from our childhood dreams... I owned a COS laminated steel f1pro. COS steel had made micro chips with me. But my trc south pole has already done it too. Now I convexify all my knives with a stone then I create a small cutting edge V...

[@DIRager]

@@vgabond3096 thanks for your reply! I cant say i experienced micro chips yet with my s1pro (probably because i sharpened it myself convex on waterstones) but with my second smaller knife (lionsteel m4 in m390) i had the exact same problem. Gonna sharpen at a higher angle with those very hard steels. And yes i always imagined the world so great when i was a kid. Im still quite young but seeing what is going on right now is really sad. Forced to wear masks and do those "tests", maybe also forced to vaccine later...gonna leave my land soon probably.

[@vgabond3096]

@@DIRager Yes, same observation as you at the time and same situation. I have been living in a van for a year to prepare myself to move in case of emergency... Video games and post apocalyptic Hollywood series will probably become reality...

[@itsawonderfulknife7031]

Great knife, great skills. I can just never figure out why people baton a 2 foot long log and then start making their feather sticks 6 inches from the bottom. I used to do it like that until I watched a few old Mors Kochanski vids. Start as far up as you can, you’ll get more curls which obviously equals more surface area to catch a spark.

[@vgabond3096]

Quite simply because it is about a video tested on this knife ...

[@bettybarkdull9518]

I don't baton with my knife, that is what my hatchet is for.

[@sirsir9665]

It's such a beautiful knife. I'd be afraid to use it and scratch it up.

Great video mate and wonderful scenery, where was it filmed and also would ya say the Apocalypse is a good buy. Cheers

Salut, tu as répondu a mes messages dont j'étais tres reconnaissant. Je lis pas mal d'articles ou les gens se plaignent de micro chipping sur leur apo. Ca fait un moment que tu dois t'en servir, a tu remarqué ce problème ? Ou peut être tu fais exprès d'y aller doucement sur la lame? Elmax a une mauvaise réputation sur sa résistance. Merci !

[@kennywheelus6857]

Great looking knife,was just curious, what type of steel is it made from,love the handle scales.

[@ajbones22]

ELMAX Steel

[@kennywheelus6857]

@@ajbones22 ,what quality type is el max steel,I saw its pretty tough, just trying to figure if it's tougher than 1095 an as tough as 80crv2 carbon steel an as hard as cpm3v, just curious, those are pretty good steels,is it easy to sharpen.

[@AdrianWosniak]

It is a premium high quality steel. One of the best you can have for a knife if not the best. I own a TRC Apocalypse and it is quite chippy but nothing to worry about too much. Looks nice as well. Handle is OK nothing special in geometry but nice to chop wood with it. Perfect thickness for its size not too thick not too thin.

Where da fu◇k did you find a coconut?? Lol! you got me rolling on dat! Subbed on dat!

[@vgabond3096]

In the exotic fruit department of the supermarket. :)

[@FlyNRyanfpv]

@@vgabond3096 I only laugh because I trim coconut trees here in Hawaii for a living, that's not how a coconut would look naturally, only when imported far distances they husk older nuts for shelf life, I blast coconut all day long with my condor bush craft parang, no problems. I see you know the tap on the back of the knife to open a coconut, you actually do that with a rock with the same results. Would love to get my hand on a TRC apocalypse one day. They look bas ass! Biy big $$. I got the bark river mini tundra in elmax, not exactly a chopper so don't have alot of chopping experience with elmax, would be interesting to see how it holds up in The long term, Chipping as stuff.The elmax is hard as hell to sharpen I know that. Keep up the good work.

[@matmax2320]

Salut Je voulais avoir ton avis sur le Trc Apocalypse si tu en est toujours content si il a de gros défaut ou pas ? En tout cas merci pour tes vidéos très sympa que je découvre bonne continuation 👍

[@vgabond3096]

Slt, oui toujours satisfait. Pas de gros défaut pour ma part mais si j'étais Andrius de TRC je sortirai une version Light plus légère de l'Apocalypse en retirant un ou deux mm d'épaisseur de lame.. Comme le fait Bark River avec ses couteaux...✌

[@vladislavjisa]

nice nice and video, however how about a rope or paper cut test after this use?

[@vgabond3096]

I will do it next time yes good idea

[@cf6713]

Not gonna lie. I watched 10 min of this thinking it was DBK waiting for the other shoe to drop.

[@medyusuf]

Bonsoir, J’hésite entre le south pole et l’apocalypse pour un couteau de camp. Un couteau pour tout faire, le bois et la cuisine. Que me conseillez-vous ? Merci

[@vgabond3096]

Moi je choisirais plutôt l'apocalypse! Parce que la longueur de lame est grande, pour fendre des grosses bûches c'est pratique! L'Apocalypse est aussi lourd (425g), c'est parfait pour les coupes à la volée (3min30sec) c'est une vraie machette! Pour la cuisine la lame est épaisse c'est moins pratique mais c'est un coup à prendre, largement faisable comme tu vois sur la vidéo. En plus la longueur de la lame est pratique pour tailler les gros légumes. L'écart de prix entre les deux est de 130€, donc si c'était à refaire je prendrai directement l'Apocalypse! Comme couteau de camp il est beaucoup plus adapté je pense... À toi de voir si tu veux un couteau lourd ou léger...

[@AdrianWosniak]

greetings mate, I own myself a TRC Apocalypse and in Germany we have the same problem with carrying knives around as in France. The locking idea looks nice and I wanted to ask you how did you place the lock on the sheath so you can’t take it out without a key? If I‘d simply drill a hole in the sheath and put a lock on it there would be still enough space so the knife would slip through.

[@vgabond3096]

I placed the lock so that the plastic of the case cannot open when we want to take out the knife ... I did this by placing the padlock approximately in front of the handle to know where to drill ...

[@golDroger88]

It's time to organize and fight this irrational and totalitarian bureaucracy that prevents us from carrying defense and utility tools because we MIGHT commit a crime with it. It's absolutely unacceptable for a free individual and a free community to submit to such rules.

[@shastaham7630]

Just curious, why the lock? If anyone found or stole the knife, it wouldn't be hard to break a lock like that. Are you in some country where civilians are not trusted with anything sharper than a doll house butter knife?

[@vgabond3096]

Yes it is administrative for the controls.

[@mrpopo5285]

this knife would go perfect with my enzo trapper elmax

[@gtrul3s387]

Out of curiosity. Why the lock on the sheath? And in Québec?

[@vgabond3096]

Because in France the law only authorizes the transport of knives for legitimate reasons. If I don't put the lock, a police officer could tell me that the knife is poorly transported and too easily accessible and steal it from me ... So I will be so angry that I will kick him in the face and I will certainly go to jail ... I take my precautions because the cops are real son of a b..ch in France. 👮‍♂️=💩
