@@dannyjackson2062 ,… That guy was probably me. 😆 👍🏻

@@knife_123 ,… I was thinking maybe I should have drilled a hole through the tang also. But I just notched it. Seems pretty solid.

@@dannyjackson2062 ,… I like JB Weld Steel Stick epoxy putty. I push it down into place, where I want it in the handle with a pencil ✏️,…. I use the eraser side of a pencil to push the putty down firmly around the screw & bolt Tang of this knife. I tamp it with the eraser to smooth it out and level it. I use a flashlight to look down inside the handle to check out my progress. It takes about 2 minutes to get it all in place Then It sets up in like 10 minutes. It’s steel reinforced epoxy. Really good stuff.

@toby4745 ,… They are pretty decent knives.

@JoeDoomsday Yes Sir. That s correct.

@@scodoguy5581 ,… Ya I’m happy with it, considering I didn’t use any power tools. 🔪👍🏻

@@scodoguy5581 ,… Ya it really does.

@@old_timey_prospector ,… All this could have been avoided if they would have been honest. They marketed it as a full-tang knife. It’s not. They won’t refund anyone’s money. They won’t pull it off the market. They keep selling it as a full-tang fighting knife. It’s not right.

@JoeDoomsday Corporate greed is an equal-opprtunity employer, I guess. There aught to be more knife and tool dissection videos like these out there.

@@old_timey_prospector ,… ya. I agree

@@Firebrand1967 ,… Ya. It does. 😂

@@CIGARURI - I’m glad you liked it.

@@hillbillyfromtheswamp6223 ,… Thanx. It’s pretty cool. I personally like these polypropylene over molded handles. Kinda like a shovel handle. Works for my arthritic hands. 😆

@@andrewcharles4349 ,… D2, well it’s growing on me. I hope KABAR does it right.

@@cafeqc3793 , Somewhat I guess, but it has some big differences too. They are both similar in size But,… I like the over molded handle and solid tang of the Condor, plus it’s a full flat grind with a convex blade which is pretty sweet. The KABAR bk9 has better steel in my opinion (1095, Cro-Van) but it is a Skeletonized tang which I don’t appreciate at all. The Condor has a thick leather sheath, the Bk9 has a nylon sheath. The BK9 is a Sabre grind which makes for a better fighting knife. This condor kind of reminds me of an ESEE Junglas. Although I believe the Junglas has superior steel and build quality. I would have preferred it, if the Condor was just a bit thicker and had better steel. (It’s 1075) it’s ok I guess. Overall, I definitely like this big ol’ knife.

@@mrpropper6590 - THANX. 🔪👍🏻

@@johnbelmore1178 ,… Yes Sir. You are Correct.

@@johnbelmore1178 ,… Ya. It kinda looks like my BK9 too. 😝

@@ChrisvilleUSA ,… Hello & Thanx. 👍🏻🔪

@@donavantew8278 ,… I appreciate you saying that Donavan Thanx bro.

@@darylkaufman9142 ,… I ordered directly from Sheffield Knives of England BUT you’re in luck because Wisemen trading just posted 9 of them available in black handle like this one is. Their website is tricky but they are a legit company. Just google: wisemen trading Sheffield mod knife and it should bring you to the right page.

@@gregmerter4083 - Nice 👍🏻

@@Sam-c7y9d ,… I see your point I guess. This T3 version is almost as large as the T1 tracker. It is superior steel also. It’s an excellent throwing knife. Cuts cordage like nobody’s business. Good slicer. Works fine for food prep in the field. Makes awesome feather sticks for fire tender. It’s a bit lighter and more tactical friendly. You could learn a thing or two from a city slicker collector. - What would you say was the original purpose of the T1 Tracker knife? What can the T1 accomplish that the T3 just can’t handle? Rust? 😂. Weigh more? 😂. I have both the full size and this slightly smaller T3 variant,… I’ve used them both. I like both of them.

@@domingocontreras319 ,… yep

@@Squibknocket. Where at? I saw one on SMKW website but it’s “out of stock”, of course. 👍🏻🔪. I really want to get a scandi version of the GEN 3.

It was SMKW, bought it literally moments before watching your video

@@Squibknocket ,… Nice.

@@Squibknocket ,… you should review it on RUclips. I’d like to see how thick the tip looks on that blade.

@@JoeDoomsday I have two full flat grind and a convex gen 3. I’ll do a comparison. I’d love to find a saber grind as well.

@@John-y3r ,… Chinese Knock-Off? Sorry but No. It looks beautiful in hand.

@@얍삐-b8w ,… T.M. Hunt Knives. eBay has them sometimes.

@@richardfiedler2201 ,… Well I have been researching. I’m not sure what you’re getting at?

@@mikepanetta6529 ,… It came with some paperwork but no Box. I purchased a separate nylon carrying case for it. I keep everything in that.

Wow that's awesome good deal

@@Marcoantoniopp76589 ,… It’s double the money if you purchase immediately but I could not wait 5 years. So I paid Double. 🤦🏼‍♂️

@@Marcoantoniopp76589 ,… well the handle is molded over the tang BUT,… The tang protrudes out the backside of the handle so most everyone would say in this case, this Knife IS a true full-tang. Even if you wanted to call it a “Stick Tang” it’s such a thick tang and because it comes completely out of the handle at the pommel it’s equally as good as any full-tang knives out there. You can’t go wrong with the Fallkniven Modern Bowie knife.

@@ChrisvilleUSA - I have a first run space force KABAR also. 👍🏻. For certain, these State & Union, KA-BAR’s are the best looking. I’m pretty sure they have “USN”the “Mark 1” the “Dog’s Head” and the “USMC” versions all done like this, as an option. They all look amazing. 👍🏻🔪

@@daw764 ,… Very Cool. Congratulations 👍🏻🔪👍🏻

@@lorenray9479 ,… appreciate it. 👍🏻🔪

@@donavantew8278 - Hello Donavan! Thanx. It really is a beautiful collectible.

@@tomritter493 - Hello Tom! Really? I really like how thick the guard is.

@@reowhite4862 ,… That sounds like a Plan. 🔪👍🏻

@@cafeqc3793 ,… No Problem. I hate to badmouth a company but they won’t answer any emails or refund my money. They should recall this knife and refund everyone’s money. Or list it as a partial tang, display knife and sell it for like $9.99.

@@B51608 ,… It definitely has its good points. JoeX has a couple destruction videos of this blade on RUclips. The older version made in Africa held up noticeably longer than the Chinese version did, He said: the African version was way better and the Chinese version was “Crap”! - I haven’t performed any destruction tests on mine. Maybe JoeX got a flawed one from the factory. I like destruction test videos but they are not very scientific and can be terribly flawed. Just striking the blade against a car or chunk of concrete at a slightly different angle or with slightly more or less force can drastically alter the results, causing a failure to occur much faster,… That can happen without him even realizing it. - (So I take his destruction test videos with a grain of salt.) I’m not sure if this one made in China is much worse than the older version made in Africa. - Anyhow I like it. 👍🏻🔪

@@JoeDoomsday I feel like JoeX was too harsh in calling these crap. He was able to chop down trees with them and they still held an edge, that's pretty impressive for a $30 machete if you ask me. I like my South African machetes but I kinda prefer the newer ones just because they all came with a better edge.

@@tomritter493 ,… 😂. Thanx Tom. I will be careful. 😂

@@MTMILITIAMAN7.62 ,… Ya I see your point. I agree. For me,… it’s a collectors piece. It could serve as a fighting knife for self defense. If you had to draw it and stab “something” , it would probably work just fine. It can open canned food lids in a pinch. It can make feather sticks for tender. It can cut cordage. You could skin game with it. It seems that if you pry with it at a sideways angle thats where its weakness really shows. Plus it’s not designed for hard, prolonged chopping. (Overall, It’s a very tough knife considering the rat tail tang. Just don’t use it for Chopping/Batoning wood or as a Pry-Bar and it should be fine) I think it makes a decent Fighting/Self Defense knife though. (There are way better options) 👍🏻🔪

Yep, it is a knife, not an ax.​@@JoeDoomsday

This knife isn't made for hacking down trees, it's made for stabbing and slicing an enemy. Period. This knife would perform excellent for that and no way would break in that regard. For whatever reason the tang that you can see at the bottom is tapered, the tang is a little more wide then what you can see at the bottom. I'd rather have the D2 Extreme in a self defense situation against man or beast, more so then any heavy survival knife. You could get this thing out and be stabbing much faster than one of those ugly BK knives. JS. Weight and timing is a factor.

@ ,… I think when DBK (Dutch Bushcraft Knives) destroyed this knife very quickly on their channel it made the knife appear cheap and worthless. Nowadays people expect way more from a knife due to better heat treatment and better quality steel. Some of those BK knives and many others, are much stronger for all around survival scenarios. This KABAR D2 Extreme is a decent fighting knife but if it had a stronger, thicker Tang and Better Steel it could be So much more.

@rnkmode1876 Kabar markets this as a combat utility knife. This is supposed to be a one-tool option for an infantryman. My grandpa had his Kabar break digging a fighting position in the frozen Korean ground. I had one break just standing around bored throwing knives at each other's feet. Most of the use this knife sees isn't going to be fighting. It is going to be stupid menial jobs like opening ammo crates and MRE cases. Most of deployment is mind-numbing boredom and we do stupid stuff when we are desperately bored. Like stand in a circle and throw knives at each other's feet. Then there are the times your tool really needs to work. Like my grandpa having to dig a fighting position on a hill in Korea in the winter with no entrenching tool. It's not an axe, until you need timber to fortify and camouflage your fighting position. Infantry carries enough gear without carrying a separate tool for every possible scenario. Mostly, we use what we have, and we have a knife. It has to work, for combat and utility. Rat tail tang is no go.

@@johnwilliams-ec1kw ,…I said: It’s over an 1/8” of an inch thick. I also said: it’s 3/16” of an inch thick. I used a tape measure. That’s a professional quality measuring tool. I even zoom in on the measurements so You can see the tape measurement for yourself, just In case I miss-spoke. I’m Not wasting money on measuring calipers, or a microscope or a wire cutting sharpness tester or any other special equipment to perform a simple unboxing video review of a knife. I have enough trouble purchasing all these knives & getting my weekly reviews up on time. If a potential buyer can’t accept a tape measurement, then they have some serious issues. I don’t sell any knives. I don’t receive any money or free knives from anyone or any company, so I couldn’t care less if you or anyone else buys a knife that I have reviewed. Your loss. More knives for me. 😆 PEACE. I checked out your channel. Of course No content. BOT
