Great video! I love your very last remark about super steels have their place and these do to and can be easily sharpened in the field.An important point 🔪👍
I've got a kabar style knife in DC-53 that I took a gamble on, and honestly I'm very impressed with what I got for the money. It's a leather stack handle (which I love!), big 9" flat ground blade that SLICES, fairly robust tang about the same as a kabar but with a threaded pommel instead of a pinned pommel. My "testing" is similar to yours in that I chop (more on this one because it's such a choppy feeling knife) and baton some wood, do some feather sticks, maybe chop some wire to see how it holds up. The DC53 seems to be some pretty tough steel that holds a good edge! I had no real edge rolling where I think on most of my other bowies I'd have some. No idea if it'll break the same way as kabars do, but I'm not bothered either way many people can go their whole lives using a kabar and not have any issue just respect the limitation.
The Bradford Guardian 3.5 and White River Knives M1 are similar, though superior IMOP, to the original knife whose orange scales you dies black. Love them both! Appreciate the vid, PBKG. 🐱💙🙏👊🙂
Whenever a $29 performs this well it makes me think hmmm? 🤷♂️ Maybe a "Yard Knife?" [One that you know you can always run back into the house and replace in a jiffy!]
I spent 500 to 600 on multiple blades and several in the 300 range I guess for 29 bucks I shouldn't be bitchin, I'll throw it bag , save higher end shit
Bro you basically got two knives for free. Bashed the heck out of it and complain about a hiccup on the edge. It’s $30 not $230 and I personally think it’s okay for the price oh yeah for free in your case. 😂 tell what send it to me and I’ll Zelle you $15
I love Watchman! Cool score!
Right. Free

That’s cool. And you are correct. The Kabar when used as designed is a great knife
Baller dude!!!!
Thanks

"This is my beatin on knife and this is my lookin at knife".
Pretty decent knife for what it is, not bad. 👌Thanks for sharing, take care and Cheers!
Thanks. Can’t beat the price
That is not bad to get a couple of decent knives for free....A good little camping knife or storage knife to use....Good stuff....
Can’t beat free. Thanks Scott
@@peterbiltknifeguy 👍👍
Have you ever owned or reviewed the Ontario Tak1? Or at least the older stamped 1095 version?
I haven’t had that knife. But I have 1095
@peterbiltknifeguy You should try to score one on the bay. It's a really tough blade. Basically the Rat 1's big brother (I think).
That’s didn’t do bad. Good stuff.👌
Just for you lol
@@peterbiltknifeguy Well then!🤘

Very true. It’s a pretty decent knife for the price
0 > 22 💙
Thank you will never be enough. 🙏💚🙏
if its real dc53 for that price that is nice i like a good well made leather handle without buttons on it to fiddle with for quick draw.
Honestly for $30 I'd be happy with that knife.... At least it looks good.
It does
@@peterbiltknifeguy I'm a new subscriber to your channel.... how do you get stuff so sharp?
@@stephenbarabas6286 honestly it doesn’t matter the equipment so much as practice. But I use a belt sander
Look decent for a small carry fixy it def a cool deal get 2 free ones thou lol
If it’s free it’s for me they pretty good looking
Right. Can’t argue with free
Amazon makes its vendors take it in the back side..😂😂
Damn 29 bucks i dig the shape id be hesitant for 29 bucks but also its 29 bucks lol
It actually surprised me. It’s definitely not a bad knife for the price
@@BIGHOUSEBEAMS53 I just watched it. And got hungry lol

@@peterbiltknifeguy in a round about way its almost like they sent you free knives for testing haha
@@Ajaxykins 😂 true
I'd buy your extra one
