PREPAREDMIND101 just ordered mine... as always love your reviews, Chris. You get that baby kydexed yet? Would love to see it if and when you do
I passed that off to Doug at Yellow Hawk because he wanted to do some stuff with it.
Have you seen the pre order for the 9 inch version of this ?
DLT is supposed to post some more tonight (may be there already) link in description box.
PREPAREDMIND101 your killing me smalls I been putting some cash together this week just a little shy getting paid tomorrow at 4 and there all going to be gone. Only if you would have waited 24 more hours.
PREPAREDMIND101 I ended just putting it on credit because there was like 5 or 6 left. After your video I figured they would be gone.
Are you going to check out the smaller version as well ??
the honey badger is lighter weight it's 3v lol
Yeah. It's heading my way tomorrow.
PREPAREDMIND101 are they coming out tomorrow or monday?? I figured your getting yours from bark river.
I love the maniacle laughter as it slides through the paracord like butter. Can't wait for mine to arrive.
Thanks for the reviews Chris...they’re always entertaining and informative. I have various bushcraft style knives (Mora Black, Larry Roberts Genesis) and just wanted something a bit different. Got my Legion in the mail today and HOLY $#1T, this thing is a beast!!! By the way, not all of us stick to a budget!
I don't know what it is about a big hunk of pretty steel and a leather sheaf but damn I love it.
It looks like a knife that just wants to work! You could buy this as an all-purpose camp knife or every day carry, hell sharpen the back end an you have a fighter as well. Change the scales to a nice hard wood with some natural oil and shape the scales to suite your hand and you have a near perfect knife! This is a knife I would definitely love to own!
The knife looks badass the sheath to. Looks very well thought out
Perfect size knife for a all purpose tool.
The blade geometry is very similar and I would say is a shorter version of the Cold Steel Trailmaster. The 1/4" thick at the spine , distal taper and a convex grind... both as you say blast thru wood. BTW yes I have one of the CS in San Mai and I just received one of the last 'Legions' Knives Ship Free were selling (apparently they have sold out, so I got lucky)... actually it is an amazing knife. Agree, not sure I like the flat area of the choil either... but the knife in general kicks butt. FOBOS design built by Bark River is a great combination... Yes, your review triggered my 'impulse buy' ... (so I hate you 🤣 in a good way).
All the (continued) VERY BEST!
Just watch the Tier 1 Mini video. Nice. When you suggested that there may be some 3V versions in the future, that just made this thing Jessica. If another designer would have some more 3V versions of his knife, I'd be buying a couple more of those also. That JX2 is awesome btw.
DLT is great. I missed the window and they were sold out. I used their email me when available... late Friday night I got the email and picked one up immediately. I promised myself no more knives for a while and you are to blame. But glad I did lol.
Cool-a-mundo. That knife got Chris really excited. That's a second knife I have to get $$ up for now. Thanks Chris.
I got one, Chris, based on this. Thanks - Jeffrey Gardner
The impulse buy paid off. Cool video. Thanks.
Got it about a month ago and absolutely love it...... I thought it might be too big for small work but it works great. Love the weight in the blade
First!
PREPAREDMIND101 oh no the first people is offended 😂😂🤣🤣🤣 im lucky i never have any first people on my channel yet
Cheater!!!
no fair bro
I"ve been watching you for a while, long while and it still pleased me .
By the way, according to Mike Stewart the extra length added to the choil is for striking a firesteel.
And don’t forget you can remove the handle to use as a spear, for easy cleaning, and for whatever other survival purposes.
And the sheath is MOLE comparable. And it can go over (on both sides of) a belt loop so it doesn’t slide around.
This thing is definitely on my want list. But I just got in on the final run of the Grizzly, and I have an Aurora LT Cru-Wear on order - so next year I’ll get a Legion.
That thing is a knife with the capabilities of a small hatchet. Very impressive.
Also need to know the HRC and it needs to be accurate. 154cm is a good steel but most makers have stayed away from putting it into a giant chopper for a reason.
Not as confident in it's durability plus if it were to fail that would be kinda expensive. But seeing as how thick the blade spine is I think they have it under control
G'day Chris, Stone the crows! That's amazing. I don't believe in vampires but I'm gettin' me one of these just to have a supply of wooden stakes! JX5 and this... what else does one need? Thanks for the heads-up; now gettin' one from DLT will take swift action... bye! Cheers, B.H.
Yeah...this knife surprised me.
They killed it on the blade geimetry. It chops and slices which is pretty rare. Does both amazinglyvwell.
Just sent mine back to barkriver, there gonna pin/epoxy the handles on for me, cann't wait to get it back, great knife, great service, great knife company.....keep up the awesome video's.....
wow. i haven't seen you this excited in a while. im sold.
2:53 Beautiful knives mate.
You are such a good presenter
Just when I thought I didn't need another knife!
And that sheath is going to age beautifully.
Love that Frickin knife , nice to see you soo enthusiastic . As far as thickness of the spine and batoning , it reminds me of my CS Recon Scout . I love a thick ass survival knife that slices like a laser ...
I'm getting one!! Thanks Chris.
First time in a WHILE I've heard you actually happy with testing a new knife. Your like a kid!. With your reaction, I'm sold on it for a primary. Also want to say thank you again for all you do. Oh, and if you come across one for a gaw, #Jessica. Dibs.
The Fobos Legion is very similar to the Steel Will Cager!
I was freaked out at first! I was waiting for you to post this review before I ordered mine, and when I went to DLT they were sold out!! Luckily I managed to snag one at Knives ship free!!!😥😥😥
Erik designed the best outdoor knife ever made
I have funny feeling that Will is going to show up in a future episode feather sticking with one of these Bark River. It's a natural progression😉
Chris is yours g-10 or bcm scales because I ordered bcm & I’m just wondering if my handle scales will be as black as yours. Sometimes bcm tends to come out a bit greyish. I have a Gunny like that. Either way I can’t wait to get my hands on it.
BCM
It would be awesome to see that knife it a yellow Hawk sheath system
Glad to see a guy who has control over his own impulses!
So why aren't all their knives like this?
Hey chris, did you let brother tac know about this knife,I'm sure he'd love it.
Interesting. Seems somewhat comparable to the Fällkniven A1 Pro. Thick spine, convex grind, stainless, metal pommel, slightly front heavy, crazy baton/chop/cut. The A1 Pro drops the old school sheath and the gimping and adds rubber handle and metal guard.
Awsome vid man...your channel is awsome!! Keep up the good work bro
Def my next purchase!
The Gobos is pretty impressive
Killer knife! The sheath looks better after being treated I think. It looks "richer". BR means quality.
Very impressive, this thing demands attention. The silent hero!
Paul, were you in 5th Grp? v/r Erik Hansen
I’ll be getting one on the secondary market or on the next run. I did the pre order for the Tier 1 (smaller model) lol.
Love the Bravo 1!
Good looking knife. The handle reminds me of the Tops silent hero. It is beast mode. I like the bit it has for the size impressive.
Awesome knife collection!
same as others i had to go to KSF which i love those people and buy me one of these. Chris hasn't steered me wrong yet so we will see if the streak continues!
I agree, though, but not just aesthetically-speaking. Functionally, the choil should not be cut into the grind. An eighth- to a quarter-of-an-inch relief would've done it... would've sold me. Love me my Bark Rivers, tho. Hope they produce some bigger "edged tools" in CPM-154. In the woods, on prolonged trips, I like to run a multitool, and a Bravo 1.25(5 in. blade) in S35VN. I like the low maintenance of stainless. Along with a folding saw, I'd really like a large chopping knife than a proper axe (too much weight) or even a hatchet (not enough chopping power, but equally heavy). I hope Bark River puts out a Kukri that would give my Zombie Tools Vakra a run for its money. The Vakra gives me clearing(like a machete), chopping, batoning, and drawknifing capabilities. The single edge is really nice for the drawknifing, while easy on the baton. >>> BRKT: Get the shape right. They say it can't be done in stainless, but I know you can. Also, please hit a home run with the sheath. The sheaths to all machetes and Kuk's suck!!!
Wow, wow...wow 😯
This is fantastic! 👍
More than 1/8 inch thick reduces functionality, in my opinion. I have some custom knives this thick and thicker. I never pick them up anymore because, yeah they baton.
Great video!! Have ya ever seen any of Pete Winklers knives at Cross Knives? He was the winner on Forged In Fire. His shop is in New Paris Ohio.
Damn you! Until this morning, I didn't need any more knives! Thanks for the great review.
Would be a great knife to go with kydex. If it came with a kydex sheath, I’d buy it
GREAT REVIEW.....got one today.....sandstone burlap micarta/with red liners.....also have a COLONEL low Vz coming....fighting knife....check it out crazy good defense knife....
Man, that knife chops so well the aftermath is almost ruining your camera! ;^)
It's like an Esee 5's wealthier body building cousin. Might need to save up for this beast!
That looks awesome. If possible, please do a comparison with the Bark River "Grizzly", as they both have similar blade thickness.
Nice knife collection Chris, I only have 3 Jessica listed knives LT Wright Outback(Thanks to your review) GSO 4.1 (New spec) And a really nice Scandi from a place called KRF Customs you should check them out
Awesome video and excellent blade as well.
Amazing Chris. Thank u very much! Hallo from greece
I like the leather sheeve look, the kydex is cool to but leather looks natural look
Same thing with a nine inch blade? Please? Please Bark River?
They are making a bigger Bravo Survivor...
the FOBOS MKB-9 and its in 3V brother!!! DLT has them now. v/r Erik Hansen of FOBOS Knives
Great looking knife. Only wish it that it came in a carbon steel
The next run is in 3V. v/r Erik Hansen
Gotta have one. It’s exactly what I have been looking for.
Amazing magic knife!
Wow! Thanks Chris!!!
Awesome knife. Can’t wait for the giveaway 😉🤪
Don't hold your breath
I'd love to see comparison between this knife and Dark Timber Honey Badger.
A survival knife is the knife you have on you at the time of surviving for your life to me and that would be the everyday carry.
I'd like to see an offgrid knives reveiw
How do you compare it to the cub? The size is similar
Cub doesn't even rank vs the geometry on this blade brother not even close. The next run is in 3V too. v/r Erik Hansen
Chris have you seen the new Fiskers dimond sharpener at home depot.Its close in size to the carbide one with red handle that you use for a striker but has a orange handlle.it will strike a ferro rod but could be improved plus is a diamond sharpener.Love your chanel.
Last! After a year and some hunting, i finally got one. Er'mer'fherkin'gherd. Matches great with the new non-colab Tier-1 mini. It's all your fault and i blamed you to the spouse. Thanks!
It was becoming uncomfortable watching this ... I thought it was going to become 'R' rated as excited as you were getting.
HAY BROTHER GOOD LOOKING KNIFE. LOOK OUT HERE COMES THE BATONING POLICE
Any information on how to find out if Bark River will be selling FOBOS Ligon again anytime soon would be appreciated? Can't find any for sale anywhere
Really cool knife 👍🏼🇺🇸
Damn, that thing made mincemeat of that log...
I REALLY LIKE THIS ONE VERY VERY VERY MUCH!!!
Sponsored or not by them THAT knife speaks for ittself its a beaut of a tool should be called the wood beaver haha stunner great review mate all the best matt from the uk
Jones fat thumbs and being 2am mate lol was a miss press a slip of the thumb thats what it was
porkbap55
Wonder how much they will cost in the UK?
Sir Sidney Ruff-Diamond now thats a question i reckon 400 quid maybe more i know you can get bark river knives in the uk theres a store at the bushcraft show so he would be the man in the know great knife though but wou
d be pricey over here mate by the way great name great film mr ruff diamond
porkbap55
Cheers ....& yep, £400 is probably right (weeps silently).
Sir Sidney Ruff-Diamond i know mate im gutted too looks a beast that needs abusing and taming lmao probably more that 400 knowing our nanny state laws soon bleach and acid will be out lawed thanks to the idiot kid gangs in london i carry a nice sharp pencil and a metal pen now hahaha
Sold out everywhere. One site says "discontinued"!! :(
Looks like a wonderful upgrade from my ESEE 6
Yep what they said
Any idea if they're ever going to do another run of these? I'd love to get one to pair with my FOBOS Tier 1 Mini.
Is it possible to buy this knife today in 2020? Been looking around at various sites but no listing at all.
Dang it, now I got another one on my list haha. Was looking at a Bark River 1.5/2, but this looks better for about the same price
Nice combat knife good video . Better buy William that knife Chris !
What is the knife to the right of the legion? Looks awesome, thanks
What in the world? I was just looking at these. I clicked on your video, clicked back on DLT before the video ended, and they are sold out😐
Run to KSF!
Totally savage! Awesome blade!
Top contender for those who prefer a 'One blade' option...
that is one bade ass blade. have to save up for that...
Looks similar to the Bark River Bravo Survivor . . .
AZ-Chris I've only held the Bravo Survivor once (there's a new version coming that I think is bigger) but I recall it being pretty beefy. Moreso than this one.
Yeah, the Bravo Survivor is 3 ounces heavier, looks to have a slightly taller blade and is about an inch longer. The handles are different and the Legion may offer more gripping options, but the Bravo handle is what it is . . . a proven winner. The Bravo Survivor is a chopping and batoning beast.
PREPAREDMIND101 Are they discontinueing the survivor? I already got one for my medium sized survival knife comparison (it will be the largest and most elaborate on youtube). 20 contenders of which 3 are brkt...maybe i should include this one? What is the length of dev-x, i'm pretty sure it will blow most knives out of the water(my upper length parameter was 34 cm or 13,38 inches)
Would love to see a versus video, if you haven't already.
It's a Killa'! Survival & Combat Ready
Great knife chris
knife look sooo Badass!
Great knife,
Did Bark River increase the prices of there knives? I went on dlt trading and looked at some of the bravo 1.25 LT in cruwear and damn...nearly $300 ? whats up with this?
