I ordered from Survive Knives but never got the product that was stated as ready to ship. No response to any emails at any point. Had to start the refund through my card issuer and was thinking to go the legal route. Card issuer refunded and I guess started the legal process on their behalf. I will NEVER order or have anything to do with Survive Knives in the future. Their name is burned forever.
Ben waiting over two years for two knives .he doesn't answer the phone,emails, nothing .I tried to ask politely were my knives were on RUclips and he blocked me. l'm going seek legal action now.
@@strwf two years!! That is totally unacceptable. Pure scam. That potential amount would actually have gained substantial value in interest alone if you had it in a savings account. Even more in funds or stocks.
Tried to buy a 4.5. They just kept delaying the date, so they were good enough to give me a refund. I ended up with a nice Bark River instead
You got lucky…many people have to fight tooth and nail for even a chance at a refund if they can’t go through their payment processor
Sukkage uninvited on Refunds. Friggin sad izzinit! May Things be Resolved properly.
They also refunded one of my purchases when I asked.
I ordered a 5.1 gso Magnacut in September of 2022 and still have not received my order. Had a tuff time trying to contact him and get a response. When I did get him to respond I told him if he cannot produce the product then cancel my order and refund my money and since that it has been dead air. No product no refund. You reviewers are the only people to receive these knives.
I’m sorry to hear that. I have no control over the situation
@@peterbiltknifeguyhey Peter, considering you have GSO full’s attention at the moment, could you advocate for our friend here? Maybe send an email with this guy’s name or order number. Maybe to ask them to send their order, add some gift for the compensation. It sucks when your knife delays or doesn’t arrive
Guy responded to my reply in YT that he’s willing to swap out for a diff metal
I have ordered seven and received four knives. I am a nobody pretty much. Sorry you have waited so long. I ordered my first knife in September 2022 as well.
Survive! Knives is not to be trusted.
I ordered a Survive! Knife in March 2016 and i recieved the knife August 2021. 5 ½ years...
Come on guys!!! Every time I ask them when I get the knife, they say soon.
They lied and lied to their customers for many years, they kept coming up with new excuses.
They closed comments in there Instagram channel for years.
They got banned on Bladeforums. There are a lot of customers (hundreds or thousands)
who are in the same situation and talk about it on Blade Forums and elsewhere.
They don't deserve any credit regardless of the knife quality. Thanks 💖💖💖
Respect to you for your disclaimer!
However, your subscribers support you and post your reviews. Company’s that are not taking care of their business( allegedly ripping people off) should get no play time!
It’s about integrity on the knife company!
I can't recommend anyone put in an order with Survive . Even if they manage not to go bankrupt, the backlog on orders stretches for years and you can never get your money back. Good knives, but the company is run by a complete moron.
btw this comment has nothing to do with you or your review. Both were great. It's Guy and his scam business model that suck.
@@21_Cabbage_I agree I am still waiting from December 2022 when my order was placed.
I had a very similar perspective as you once upon a time. I saw all the controversy and decided to give Survive the benefit of the doubt and ordered a knife with an estimated 60 day delivery (Shame on you Survive!). Then at the end of the year I bought into Guy’s song and dance on how everything is coming together and is on track to completing their backlog soon. I ordered a second knife that was said to be in the heat treat of production (Shame on me!). Since, I watched Guy repeat the same pattern of BS every year for 5 years (Now I just feel like an Idiot). Three strikes and you’re out of here...
At this point it’s hard to watch as Guy continues the same pattern of taking advantage of unsuspecting people.
That’s terrible. Have you tried to contact him
I could give you a laundry list of attempts to contact, refund and a few times I did get a response...not a pretty picture...
@@JustinDeLeon-sj1xr I’m just showing a knife.
Are you though? Why even associate yourself with someone like Guy, Ellie and Survive? Maybe do a little research before you just blindly accept a free knife from a terrible company? @@peterbiltknifeguy
Magnacut is a steel material with relatively excellent overall performance. I hope to be able to buy this knife in Taiwan one day. Thank you for sharing! Brother!❤😍
Bro you have the best knife show on youtube period . That being said survive knives the co. Sucks. I didnt take the bait, but alot of good people did. Id pay for that knife if you would take a cutting torch to it in protest and post the video .
I love the SK knives. I have quite a few, and have always endured the wait, but this is one thing gets me... Sending a reviewer a free knife when i have an unfulfilled preorder for a GSO-4 in from 2020...
I totally get what you are saying. I have no control over the situation and this was brought on by a friend of mine. I can’t say no
Same can’t wait to get mine
Actually, you can. It's easy - "No, I don't want my followers to get the impression that I support your business practices." @@peterbiltknifeguy
Yes, you can. It's easy - "No, thank you. I don't want my followers to think I'm advocating for or supporting a company with very shady business practices and years of failed promises to deliver a product that has been paid in full."@@peterbiltknifeguy
@@peterbiltknifeguy huh?
I have to be honest. For all the drama you can buy a quality knife from Anchor, knives same design and made in USA. I’m super happy with my AK8. You customize your blade from start to finish. Much better quality in my opinion and no drama. 🤷♂️
I have the architect 6.5 and 5.5 in 3v. They are great. But not the same quality
Quality knives from trash human beings. @@peterbiltknifeguy
It’s a bummer that you would help Survive perpetuate their scam by posting this video. :(
He’s testing a knife.
@@Teesac81True, but it's a knife sent to youtube channel; a knife from a company that refuses to send products to people who paid for them. While I appreciate the test, it does help with Survive's pretenses on new sales
Asking the reviewer not to review due to the situation (which is currently under investigation) is asking the reviewer to take sides. An objective reviewer does not take sides; he looks at the object for what it is and tests it.
@Teesac81 Maybe? But there's also the unfortunate appearance that one might give Survive! money and receive a knife, like with other knife companies. This seems mostly untrue. I don't fault the review , but the caveats in the comments really do belong here in this case.
@@robcarey4189 sounds like you should start a channel and voice your own opinions.
Glad you could get one for free, and I can't get mine I paid for 3 years ago.
It was a knife that the person who ordered it couldn’t wait any longer for and was refunded
@@robcarey4189 they are specifically ordered in a certain configuration. Coated/uncoated. Full flat or saber. Different steel options. Different handles. The “next” person ordered a completely different knife. Please don’t respond unless you actually know what you’re talking about
Also the “next” persons knife is ready to ship. Have you not seen his videos lately? Instagram? I’m not defending what has happened. But I do know a whole hell of a lot about the situation going on at survive right now. Part of the reason I accepted the offer. Maybe just maybe you don’t know what’s going on fully.
No. Your a fool for not understanding the situation and only focusing on one aspect of the situation.
@@robcarey4189 Shills will do ANYTHING for free stuff. Even take part in a Ponzi scheme.
Great review. I hope someday Survive can get reviews without a giant disclaimer in the beginning. In 2024 an intro like that is justified but looking forward to better days. This model looks really good. I’m waiting on a 4.7 model which is just a little bigger than what you have now.
Thank you
I don’t think anyone said they are bad knives. They’re great knives. It’s the owner and his behavior people have the problem with.
The key to good feather sticks is to find the angle and lock your wrist with a firm grip.
I'd love to buy one but seeing everyone saying they aren't getting theirs makes me not want to test my luck.
Totally understand. But theirs a lot of misinformation going around. I got one because they are going to be available.
I'll keep an eye out then been really wanting to try out magnacut@@peterbiltknifeguy
Because Guy said so? @@peterbiltknifeguy
DO NOT order from Survive...I mean, unless you just want to throw your money away. There are people waiting over 7 years for a knife from Guy. And hundreds of people trying to get a refund, but Guy won't respond. Most refund requests are only being processed when they are contested directly with the credit card companies. Guy will not respond and will not refund you. He has a previous video posted on his channel where he literally said "we will fight you on refunds"
I would like to order one to be here on my 50th birthday in ten years.
So these are going to be available very soon
"very soon" in Survive! time means like 6-7 years @@peterbiltknifeguy
@@21_Cabbage_ 👍
Bullshit. Guy always says - "shipping soon", "wrapping up now", "just waiting on sheaths" over and over and over. He never delivers anything except lies. It's your channel and you can do what you want, but you are wildly uninformed and ignorant of the entire Survive saga. @@peterbiltknifeguy
At least you understand, I guess? 6-7 years to "assemble" parts from different manufacturers. And it's never Guy's fault. Never. He's a professional victim, all while ignoring calls from his customers asking for refunds because he can't fulfill an order on time. And by "on time" I mean within 3 years. @@peterbiltknifeguy
PeterbiltShillGuy be like:
You really need to learn the definition of shilling before using it. Pssss…. Hay. Your ignorance is showing. Might wanna hide that 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
At this point Guy should be investigated for fraud.
The whole situation is being investigated.
The fit and finish on this one is incredible. Looks like it came REALLY sharp. I Really like that green color too, thats pretty.
I totally agree!
Bark River is the only high-end knife Steel company I buy from, but that's second
I will say this, so long as you are honest, then do you. Noone watching or leaving comments comes with you, they don't help pay your bills. Negativity is rampant now a days. So it will be a thing. Just keep ot real and what you love.
Thank you. Honesty is all I can give on here to stay original lol. Plenty of hype channels
I also ordered a gos 4 back in December 2022, looks like a lovely knife. If and when I ever receive mine, I am not sure if I will ever order another knife from Survive Knives. So let me get this straight, he sends you a free knife for testing while I have to wait over two years and I am a paying customer. How about he takes care of people that have paid waiting on their orders before he sends free knives out.
This knife was an order cancellation and refund. You will get yours. Probably very soon
@@peterbiltknifeguy same still applies, that knife could have gone to someone next inline. Also, I'm not holding my breath regarding my order.
@@nycbike73 way to stay positive.
And the VICE makes a background cameo! 😉
Lol
I would love to get my hands on a newer model and compare it to one of his first works and see how much things have changed over 11 ish years
Magnacut is a fantastic steel.
Have the same knife in 3V. in my top 3 knives, all time.
It’s a great knife
Cold Steel makes c-clips using that design they have two "sizes" ( a lie both have the same size c-clip just different size hardware ) you get 2 in a package for around 10 bucks - works great on kydex type sheaths .
Looks really awesome. I’ll have to try one sometime in the future. I think the 3.5 be cool to try
The knife is actually fantastic
Torx size is T25. I dont think he makes the hardware. Theyre ordered and SK finishes em.
I misspoke
@@peterbiltknifeguyall good. I only know cause Guy posted a video not too long ago about waiting on and receiving the fasteners. I also just double checked. It's T25 for all the SK knives I have since they made the switch to Torx.
Guy doesn't "make" anything. He assembles parts to create a knife, all from different manufacturers. And he still can't get a knife out the door under 3 years.@@peterbiltknifeguy
Dam brother that's beautiful! Love those scales! What's your opinion on magnacut? Is it night and day noticeable?
I haven’t had that much time with it yet. But so far so good
When wearing my bibs(carhartt) I found that my ESEE 4, Silent Hero 4 and others of similar sizes, actually fit and carry very well in my leg pocket, same side with the hammer loop, which is the key. But you do have the older models, which looks like the hammer loop is much higher on the leg than mine. I tell you what, I’m considering switching over to the non insulated ones because my belly is getting too big lol
😂👍
I have no experience with these folks. Cool looking blade. So far so good. Enjoy your day.🇺🇲🔪🔥🌲
Stay away from Guy and Survive knives. Check out Bladeforums and you'll see all the gory details of this con artist and thief.
Have you looked at any Bear & Sons knives?
I have
Woooo got a magnacut reciew
You have a great channel but how does GSO justify sending you a free knife with there being so many unsatisfied customers still waiting on theirs that have already been paid for? It's like a deliberate slap in the face and a kick in the balls to those unattended customers who have given their money to GSO for nothing. On the other hand, it seems like GSO is begging you for some good press and advertising. I wouldn't risk doing business with them. I hope they can turn their business around for the better.
This is the common misunderstanding of the situation. I’m just showing a knife. I made it known that I’m aware of the situation I have no control over including the backlog. My channel is a channel about knives. Not knife manufacturers problems and politics. People also have a strong hatred of benchmade also. But I still share benchmade knives. If you notice. I’m not selling knives. I’m showing them. No link. No prices. No promotion code. Just the knife.
@@peterbiltknifeguy I didn't know anything about GSO or their problems until I saw your video and read the public comments posted to this video. The comments posted here are like the text book regarding the inside knowledge concerning GSO. I only posted in regards to what I learned here and will stay away from GSO. Otherwise, it was good video about a knife no one can get.
@@jonnyboat2 that’s where they are wrong. If I could tell you in a comment the whole situation i would. These are available. They are already made and ready for shipment. Also GSO is the knife model line. “Survive” is the company. Also. Most of the people saying stuff I can 100% guarantee that they never purchase anything and from survive and are regurgitating misinformation that they have “heard”. it’s always the squeaky wheel that gets the grease. And good info rarely gets out and bad flies off the shelf
Also. Thank you for being respectful
@@peterbiltknifeguy well, at least I know more now.
Respect, for just simply giving your take on the knife in hand and ignoring the drama...yes I don't have anything invested in them nor will but I can sympathize, been in that boat before....I still appreciate the quality which is undisputed and that is the hard part to swallow in this...good job Kevin
Thanks Joe. I appreciate that
But you do see how "ignoring the drama" just perpetuates the problem because unless you're deep into knives and the "knife world", most people don't understand the full story of Survive and the shithead running the company. Guy is just trying to drive new orders in a desperate attempt to keep him from going under. The ship has been sinking for 10 years, and the ponzi scheme is running out of steam....gotta get some new orders!
Which do you prefer. This Survive or the Architect AK 5.5
Honestly the survive is much better
I bought a GSO 4.1 in 3v five years ago. I absolutely love it. I did a preorder and I think it was about a five week wait? The belt loop broke ( the design is different now ), but I use a Tek-Lok and scout carry it. I use it as my edc when I am able. Dont worry about the negative comments. People are just upset, and they have every right to be, just being mad at you over a video doesn't make sense. Everyone knows the controversy. You are right about the fit and finish, mine is perfect. I haven't tried Magna-Cut yet myself. I hope you like it.
That's just it - everyone DOESN'T know the controversy with Survive. And Guy is trying like hell to keep new orders coming in from unsuspecting customers who have no idea that they will never see their knife or their money again.
Thats a beauty! I don't think you could have asked for a nicer knife. ✌🏼
It’s a beauty. Thanks
I just got a 4.5 from them, and I have an EDC4 as well. You're right about the fact they make a damn good knife! Good ergos too.
Thanks timbo. It’s definitely a fantastic knife
And the shillin' goes on
How was I shilling? It’s like you looked at the thumbnail and commented
@@peterbiltknifeguyHe’s just jealous because you got one and he didn’t lol
@king.indral I saw no "shilling" as you say... I saw an %100 honest review. No idea what your smooth 🧠 saw...
Yeah, I'm sure that's it. It does suck waiting years for a knife, can't get a refund or any response, and then you see Guy sending knives to different channels to hype up his product and drive more orders. The story with Survive is one full of lies and theft. @@brr8888
That's a pretty cool knife and the fact that it's in MagnaCut is just the icing on the cake! 😎👌Thanks for sharing, take care and Cheers!
If you want to feather stick don't use a kiln dry lumber. Grab a green branch and feathers will fly.
Thought you don’t want wet wood
@peterbiltknifeguy Dry wood , wet don't curl . Get a nice dry long piece of cedar for learning feathersticks. Dry poplar is good too, but grain direction is important.
Wet wood just stands up no curls and makes ya frustrated.
Trick to feathering is locking your wrist, find the edge by pulling the wood with the other hand . Once your able to get feathers that way then learn to use your main arm...
Just my opinion.
Perfect size knife for those little wood chores to get done....At least you tried choppin with it for the smaller wood....Good stuff....
Thanks Scott
Absolutely gorgeous man. Great first look homie
Thanks brother
Decent knife. Shitty company.
Yep, its a knife, to do knife things with.
Great comment as far as comments go....it was a comment.
Great comment just as a comment... Well done.
Pre-ordered a GSO-4 in 2021, still no knife. Would not recommend them to anyone.
You will get it
Good stuff man! I’m glad you like it. You have to live a high quality USA made knife. Survive Knives ate some of the best knives on the market and are super affordable! Can’t wait to see some testing.👊🔥🔪🇺🇸
Can’t wait to get the testing in
@@peterbiltknifeguyBoth of my EDC-4’s in Magnacut and Elmax are excellent knives. You will love it and be surprised.👊💪
Be more impressed if you spent your money with someone worth a damn instead of that pos liar Guy and his borderline scam business
I don't know anything about any controversy with survive knives,hell i don't know anything about them, but i do know that is a beautiful knife. Good job survive knives
Do a quick search for Survive knives and "hall of shame". Survive is one for the ages. It's a comedy/tragedy/crime story like no other.
There is no such thing as a free knife. The knife is the payment to shill.
You are special 👍
@@peterbiltknifeguyThanks man.
Anytime
