@jorgefernandez6407 Thank you, my friend! The EK knives are special to me because of my grandfather who carried one through WWII. He served briefly w/Patton in Palermo, IT. I have to laugh, he called him an SOB, but an SOB that got things done! 😂 I also love that movie... Very accurate and true to historical accounts. Thank you for your comment and have a wonderful weekend 😎👍🇺🇲

@jorgefernandez6407 Thank you, my friend! She is the Camillus CQB1 by Robert Terzuola. Just an all-around, perfectly designed fighting knife 😎👍🇺🇲

@ChrisLichowicz This particular one was purchased off of TEMU. Definitely not licensed by Gill Hibben. Just wanted a wall hanger... despite their advertising that it could chop and be used... Definitely not. Thank you for your comment and have a wonderful weekend 😎👍🇺🇲

@@the.sharpestedge I learned as a grunt in the Marines never buy an expensive knife for field use, unless you're just going to put it on the wall.

@ChrisLichowicz I grew up with lots, and lots of Ka-Bar's... to this day, my family overseas sends me the old ones from deployment. My family is USMC active duty... but the VP tells us no troops are actively in combat zones... 😳... 🙄

@@the.sharpestedge Well, people hire career politicians, actors and high school coaches. I don't think we've had a CIC with military experience since Eisenhower. I don't really count JFK, because he got his boat run over for being in the wrong place. So I don't really think any politician is going to tell us what the military is telling them what is really happening in the world.

@ChrisLichowicz It would be nice to have a commander-in-chief with military experience again... I would feel a lot more comfortable with so many of my family members overseas in combat positions... None of these current politicians understands how the military functions... And only one of the players up for election is feared by our enemies...

Thank you, my friend. Honestly sounds like their pricing got swept up in a cult following. I have seen many people spend crazy amounts of money on knives that materials and labor wise are just not worth it... and certainly did not end up keeping their value on the market.

Thank you, my friend. I have to agree with you on the functionality of this particular blade. To me, it appears as more of a "backup" or "last resort" kind of blade, but it does look very menacing for sure! I would not want to be the unfortunate soul on the business end I can tell ya 😁 Thank you for your comment and have a great day 😎 👍 🇺🇲

@@Expert768 I have to agree with that because they show a video of them chopping with it, and the chop with this is going to get somebody seriously hurt or killed.

@@the.sharpestedge I found you on Instagram and sent you a link to a similar knife. I think it's the same knife.

@Expert768 Well I don't know if I would go to that extreme but I appreciate your enthusiasm... But I definitely agree it is a concern... They should at least put on the box not for hard usage...

@RichardWalker-zw8mn I expect knife manufacturers to do their job and to do it right the first time... Even the lower-end ones. They advertise this knife as being able to chop and be extremely field durable... There is no way this knife would do anything good besides being a wall hanger. But that is okay with me because that is the whole reason I purchased this particular blade. Thank you for your comment and have a great day 😎👍🇺🇲

@GreenFaceONE I have been hearing that a lot lately about the sheath. I really dislike when companies make a great product, then cut corners. If they wanted to change their sheath attachment, they should have simply included the sheath itself and maybe included a small kit of attachment options. Well, at least the good news is you can always find another sheath or custom one... The knife itself is worth it. Thank you for your comment my friend and have a wonderful day 😎👍🇺🇲

@mingus6929 The original ZT that I have already has a great sheath from the OEM. The fake ZT was given a prototype USMC sheath I had on hand custom-made for Ka-Bar fighting knives. The fake ZT has been standing up well, and quite honestly, I would rather beat up the $40 fake instead of the $300+ original. At least for basic EDC purposes not requiring the original. Thank you for your comment and have a great weekend 😎 👍 🇺🇲

@TheHaughtyOsprey My family serving overseas still carries them. My cousin still has his since I purchased one for him during the first desert war. It is an incredibly strong blade; super sharp, and perfect for CQB... Hence the name 😉 Thank you for your comment my friend and have a great weekend 😎 👍 🇺🇲

@@ThomasShue Thank you for asking, my friend. The first thing that makes this knife special is its designer, Robert Terzuola. He is a legend in the knife-making community. Almost every design he has ever created has been picked up by major knife manufacturers as part of their lines; folding, and fixed blade alike. Secondly, his CUDA and CQB1 was produced by Camillus, in both Japanese ATS34 and American 154CM... both excellent steels. Camillus is one of the oldest warfare cutlery companies still in operation today in the United States of America. Thirdly, his knives were chosen and used by Special Operations Communities such as SOCOM and MARSOC. They are the best of the best, and choose the best of the best gear for their services. ATS 34 and 154CM are both stainless steel types that are often used in knives and share many similar properties: Composition: ATS 34 is an ingot alloy that contains 14% chromium, making it corrosion resistant. 154CM contains chromium and molybdenum, which helps it produce a nice hand rubbed finish. Properties: Both ATS 34 and 154CM are known for their good edge holding and toughness. Lastly, the knife is the perfect size, shape, weight and construction for the most hostile of environments. My family overseas in the USMC carried them in RECON for years, and most of them still do along with their Ka-Bar fighting knife. They are truly an amazing, all around fighting knife preferred by professional troops around the globe. Robert Terzuola is still at work producing custom units for our Special Operations Troops to this day! If you can find one at a great price, I wholely recommend putting one in your hands either as a collector or EDC tool enthusiast. Thank you for your comment my friend and have a great weekend 😎 👍 🇺🇲

@@the.sharpestedge well that answers it. Way different from a winkler operator now isn’t it? Thanks for your time and great information. T

Best / well said description of one of the best ( if not THE BEST) fighter. ​@@the.sharpestedge

@ThomasShue Kevin Holland's collaboration with Winkler Knives... That is a great knife and an example of an Operator-inspired collaboration with a knifemaker whereas the CQB1 and CUDA are both knives totally designed by a knife artisan and then manufactured by a commercial cutlery company. The end product then being chosen by multiple special operations groups for use in hostile environments. Two awesome blades to say the least; both for intended warfare use, and both in my collection as well 😀 Thank you for your comment, and have a great weekend 😎 👍 🇺🇲

@Jimthechevywheelman Thank you, my friend! I just acquired another CQB1 intended for EDC use... it comes without a box, and since I already have an MIB version, I figured this one would be perfect for carry. Thank you for your comment and have a great weekend 😎 👍 🇺🇲

@@robertr1717 They are gorgeous, aren't they 😁

@@robertr1717 I'm searching for the CUDA in ATS-34 next...

I was fortunate to pick some of these back in the day when they were cheap… I picked up a blade show proto , several blade blanks , some were paracorded a ‘ works ‘ a unmarked that looks in between the two sizes … I also like picking up advertisements ( some in the military magazines). So there were serrated and non-serrated in both sizes. After the old Camillus closed: Meyerco produced these CQB s ( but sheath was bad /ill fitting). Meyerco didn’t etc or stamp into the steel but pad print ( paint) which often came off SO they ‘could be ‘ mistaken for a copy ( but it was a BOB approved ). Then there were some left over blade blanks sold with the parts to build the knives ( Blade kits) these were engraved with Bob’s signature . I think Blade kits sold those bout 6 years ago. Then lastly ; a very low number were produced by the late Darrell Ralph. (ddr)(company stamp on blade) (I believe how mine is marked) Yep there is web info on the military purchase orders. Amount , which branches ( been few years) forget where I saw it ,, i should have taken a picture . Some boxes are marked with a sticker designating military spec Oh yeah only old Camillus made the small version . ALSO ALL ABOVE WERE USA MADE! Yeah these are a favorite with me ,, been looking / purchasing these knives all these 20 ish years. I’m in Georgia now , but was from that neck of the woods , outside of Youngstown , left there in 79, been enjoying old chevy classics since,, no rust falling in my face . Working and owning on old cars have actually been pleasurable. And even family cars last 12 to 17 years ( and I can afford new ) I just like to maintain as a hobby . And we do a lot of cross country driving , one truck we had 385 , 000 miles when we sold it . It still was gorgeous underneath ( yeah I’m ‘that’ guy that washes under my vehicles once a year .)

​@@JimthechevywheelmanNice! I just procured another CQB1 for EDC use and have my eye on a black-ops version. Did not see any at the Lehigh Valley Knife Show today, but my wife picked me up a Ka-Bar/EK Model 44 as a pre-anniversary gift, so I feel pretty good about today's venture. Check out Robert Terzuola's MKM TPF DEFENSE knife line in M390... really sweet smaller version worth a serious look 😁 Thank you for your comment and have a wonderful weekend 😎👍🇺🇲

@just9911 Depends on what a person's preference is, my friend. For an individual who has limited funds, they may be perfect for them. For me, I have a collection of "Fabulous Fakes" which I use for 3 different purposes... 1 To show how good they are getting; 2 To warn the knife community about exactly how difficult they are becoming to spot, and 3 To demonstrate to knife makers and manufacturers that they need to seriously step up their game by streamlining production and labor costs. This will lower product costs on higher quality knives thus virtually making them no longer worth counterfeiting. US Knifemakers and manufacturers could easily fill this niche in the market by stopping production of their knives overseas; utilizing US Small Businesses to machine parts, heat treat and perform multiple other services at lower costs, and purchasing raw materials from existing US Steel Mills from the large scrap piles they currently have as waste. I own originals from every knife in my Fantastic Fakes collection, and I can honestly say, I often carry the fakes in environments that are less taxing on blades. I am happy to beat the crap out of a $40 copy much more than a $300 - $600 original. Love them or hate them... It is what it is and to each their own. Thank you for your comment and have a great evening 😎👍🇺🇲

@rustycleaver8231 That would make a perfectly fine reason to get the counterfeit/clone.

Well, and lengthy written, my friend. I have been trying to get the knife community and manufacturers to understand most of what you said for decades. Most steels will do exceptionally well over higher-end steels. Now, I have many early-year ONTARIO knives including the Chimera. All were sharp out of the box and perfectly fit, but in later years during the decline of the company, the quality did suffer unfortunately. Shortly thereafter, they closed. There is no reason why American Manufacturers cannot create a superior product for a reasonable price... but a lot of the time, union labor costs are just unreasonable as are executive salaries and corporate greed. This has been an issue ever since the emergence of unionized labor. Not to mention the corporate life of executive management and greed. I have many high-end knives from around the globe and enjoy almost every country's art. However, that being said, I have no respect for countries that counterfeit. Having no respect for international law or intellectual property is simply criminal. Copy/Clone/Replicate the knife without putting the original maker's mark on it... that is fine. Modify it to be your own even better. But counterfeits hurt everyone. Period. Thank you for your outstanding comment and have a great day 😎 👍 🇺🇲

@tomdavis1046 Not at all, my friend... here is the link: share.temu.com/UagJDuXCb8A I paid under $40... not a bad counterfeit as counterfeits go... lol 😆

​@@the.sharpestedge Isn't this a fulltang? Show me the knife without the overlays please!

@xiaomi-s6s Unfortunately, this is not full tang. The blade is spot-welded to the handle steel under the grips. I had to Loctite the screws, so I can't remove them from the handle. Sorry about that my friend 😩

@@the.sharpestedge It would be better if you made a separate video and showed the tail of the knife. This video would be very useful for buyers.👍👍👍👍

m390 is superior to D2. not a huge deal, but its not the other way around.

@sashaghovanlou8175 Both M390 and D2 steel are durable and wear-resistant, but D2 steel is especially resistant to chipping, cracking, and breaking. M390 retains its edge shape longer than other steels and can be sharpened thinner than other steels. D2 steel is often used for blanking, forming, and trimming dies, as well as gages, slitting cutters, and more. M390 is often used for rolls, punches, dies, shear knives, and food-processing knives. M390 is corrosion-resistant, tough, and can be hardened to a high level without breaking quickly. M390 is considered by many to be the best all-around knife steel and is widely used in higher-end knives; however, in the end... it depends on the end-user and case-specific usage of the blade which will inevitably determine the chosen steel/preference 😊

@@A4rings110 It's superior as far as edge retention but not in toughness

@@the.sharpestedge I was talking about toughness which is more important if we're talking about surviving/camp type of things.

​@ThirdoptionJCSU Honestly, I have seen dozens of D2 blades be punished over the years with few catastrophic failures... especially on PBKG's channel. I have seen a few M390 blades have some issues; cracks, breaks, and chips... but all in all, for in field use, I would probably go with M390.
