I was a *little* hesitant on this one until I received it … and then I got really excited to make a video showcasing it. The “CacheBlade” by Zerco Knives has been tweaked and perfected over the course of several years (as the owner was telling me) and when you hold it in your hands, you can def tell. The latching mechanism feels very sturdy. It has a subtle dropppint blade shape featuring a full-flat grind and stainless M390 steel. The blade length is 3.5 inches (8.9 centimeters). Though the storage compartment is not advertised as waterproof, I had to test it out and submerged one of the blades for about 15 minutes 😬 . The central compartment surprisingly was still dry!

The 90° spine allows for striking on the ferro rod and you can use the edge on the knife’s pommel to strike as well. Cons: -no jimping on the spine -would like a slightly more aggressive 90° angle on spine -would love a different sheath option other than loops (not personally a fan of the loops though I know many people like them) -Blade could be less wide, but the width also balances out the handle with storage well… feel like the blade could be longer Overall such a cool concept executed very well. I have never had a knife like this and am eager to see how the storage compartment holds up. I told the owner I was going to try to baton some wood and break it down with it and he said go ahead, this thing was made to be tough!
I appreciate your honesty and your expertise on this and all the knifes you show. Pros and cons, is great because what is a con to one person might be a pro to someone else. I definitely like the concept of the knife to compact a striking rod and tender, as you call it.

@@MelissaBackwoods When you go remote in the middle of nowhere to hunt & fish, with limited ability to carry a lot of stuff, these could be very handy if you run into an unforseen problem.
The website shows the ferro rod being struck with the tail of the knife instead of the spine. Does the protrusion on the tail have a more aggressive 90° edge or is it ground similarly to the spine?

hard part was the lock mechanism that is about it other storage handle was a breeze . I think of different ways of doing things but this is not a game changer 😅
@@VOT3BYMAILthe point is you get a little extra storage so you can use the space in your pockets for other things (assuming you don't have your backpack on the whole time, which isn't ideal)
The Chris Reeve Project One hollow handle survival knives were milled from a solid piece of A2 steel. They’re not made anymore, and quite expensive if you can find one but they’re really tough.
@@QueensStandUpstill a compromise. Only the approach UG-Tools with printed titanium handles does make sense. Otherwise you just have an inferior knife. And who wants that…
Is it a full tang? You've stripped the structural integrity out of the tang to hide the cache. It's retarded. That blade would break within the first two minutes of being used. 😂😂😂
I don’t think that is actually full tang, it isn’t partial tang either, compromised tang? Edit its got a Skeleton tang, weaker than a full tang stronger than a rat tail tang, don’t know how it compares to other types of tang
I love this video. Great job. Straight to the point, no annoying music, nice beautiful voice to listen to, no over the top visuals, done actually in nature and finally someone who actually knows what they are talking about
For those of us that do engraving and other fabrication stuff, we could fairly easily add a channel that surrounds that inner section and place a round rubber seal into it. Boom, 100% waterproof! ❤
The cache itself is waterproof. If you put a seal, it would change the tolerances of the handle, eventually wear down from use and the handle would become loose. I think having the least amount of parts is best.
@@James-vn8zbafter a few thousand repetitions. I know what they're talking about and it wouldn't fail. You can channel a groove for an "o" ring quite easily that would still be at the exact tolerance of the current design. It would be pointless as the container is water proof so there is that...
@James-vn8zb I love it when people on the internet use words that make them feel smart and experienced with the topic they discuss, but give it away with the actual contents of the comment
-It's literally a gimmick tho. You may want to brush up on your definitions cuz "gimmick" doesn't necessarily mean "low-quality". A tiny, difficult-to-access compartment in the handle of a fixed-blade knife def qualifies as a "gimmick". 😂
Great video. I was worried about gaps or uneveness in the scales against the blade due to possible uncomfortable ergonomics, but this does seem to be quite flush and well machined. Will keep in mind for a future purchase!
Pretty cool knife! Also just a lil tip for using a ferro rod: Try holding the blade still and pulling the rod back instead of moving the knife. That way you'll have far less chance of knocking over tinder and/or damaging your knife
That all depends on what you’re using for tinder. If you are using birds nest type if tinder it’s good to place your foot either next to the Tinder or slightly onto it and an anchor your fist on the top of your foot with the knife held still and firm and then pull back on thethe Ferris rod. If you’re using other types of Tinder, it’s good to place the Ferris rod firmly and at angle into the tinder and pressed to the ground and strike down with your knife.
Wow thats exquisite, most "survival knives" with a handle compartment simply suck but this is incredible. And full tung nanderless. I love it, love you and your reviews too❤
@@tatsuhirosatou5513I guess you'd call that a hollow tang? Or some such bs. It's still a major improvement over those "survival" knives with the hollow handles and zero tang whatsoever.
@@tatsuhirosatou5513 A skeletonized tang knife is a full tang knife that has had parts of the inside of the tang removed, creating an outline or "skeleton". This process lightens the knife while still maintaining its balance, durability, and rigidity. They can also provide storage space in the handle.
@@MarkEDark Even if EVERYTHING in this knife fails for some unfathomable reason you still have one piece metal blade and handle you can wrap some cordage around and use it as a regular knife.
Great idea. I’d ad some jumping on the back. Something moderately aggressive. Might also be worth have a small segment serrated along the back. Great idea.
@@garypotter5569 still weaker than a full tang, but that’s something that if you know about and accept that fact it is fine to have, rat tail tangs however are dangerous
As an avid outdoorsman and hunter, I love this idea! Utilizing wasted space for important stuff like the cache container or an emergency lighter is a really big win in my book! Thanks for sharing! Definitely going to check it out!
I don't see the point, it would be better to just have a Zippo or a Bic in a small ziplock bag as a lighter doesn't take up any space, but I do respect how much better designed this is over other knives with storage handles
Do u really not see the value in having a mini storage and a blade in 1? I mean at it’s most basic level is takes up less space and is less items to carry with you. And takes up 0 space if u carry it where ur belt already is and frees your pockets for other necessities while camping or hiking or hunting.
@@jimboh.2654Pretty foolish idea! In a survival situation, you need your mind functioning in tip top condition! Why would anyone EVER want to hinder that ability, let alone in a survival scenario?

I am a knife enthusiast. When I saw this one, I immediately began searching out how to purchase one. It seems that full production and availability to public has not been fully established yet. Looking forward to buying this one to add to my collection.
Does compromise the structural integrity of the knife, but should be useful for the first few uses! I have a spetznaz machete much like this with a survival kit in the handle.
The ability to carry it scout style out of the box won me over. And as long as that hollow in the tang doesn't impede durability too badly it seems useful. Even if only for storing matches or tinder.
It might be a good idea to mill holes on the ends of the handle space of the tang to allow for a handle to be made out of cordage on the off chance that one of the scales or fasteners break. It'd give a failsafe handle option, shave a few grams of the weight, and give you the option to tie it to the end of a stick so you can live that spear life. They could also be concealed under the scales during normal use, allowing the unseen benefit. Just a thought, but feel free to use it.
Looks really neat, looks functional. My biggest concern would be how this knife would hold up to batoning. Would the handle eventually break after it’s been beat on?
Actually pretty cool. I've seen a lot of knives that have skeletal tangs for weight saving. But if you could put something in there emergencies and it locks. Not bad at all.

I had one of these in the early 90s but inside was a small container for matches and fishing line, with a few hooks.
A few decades ago, spanish cutlery did something like this in a fist of survival knifes. All of them A+ quality
Is that the brand name?
An O ring gasket would be a good idea to add into the scales.
Beautiful knife.
Came to offer the same suggestion, but figured it had to already be here
I’ve even 3d printed a decent gasket out of tpu, not good for any real heat or pressure but might be good enough for an application like this.
I think the scales are basically their own gaskets. They _did_ keep the interior compartment dry, I bet they have a very snug fit.
sharp too, from the looks of all those cuts 🩸
Finally a storage compartment in a knife big enough to hold my hopes and dreams
I carry all my hopes and dreams in this knife and it's still only half full, can easily fit some tinder in there still
You poor thing you 😅

As a hiker, I dig it. Well integrated and eliminates the extra volume of one of the pieces of kit you should have with you.
If you can't fit that little bit of supplies on you then you are no outdoorsman. This knife is just garbage.
Ima leave home with all my stuff in one piece and get back the same way. A solid 3in fixie on the front pack strap is perfect imo.

Amazing! Talk about maximizing productivity.
far better than many of the fixed blade knives that have the compartment, and sexier.
Actually pretty cool. I've seen a lot of knives that have skeletal tangs for weight saving. But if you could put something in there emergencies and it locks. Not bad at all.
Fantastic survival knife that I never, ever will need.
So long as it's not too fat and the locking system for the scales is strong. Seems fine.
Nice knife.I believe there is a knife for every job but few for multi purpose knives, a bush knife is for bush, fillet is for filleting.
