Geez a lot of people in the comments cant get through their head this is a huge chunk of bark river 3v steel that is designed by peter kohler. Not all knives can be 50 bucks
Everyday Survival well said John
coolkid survival thanks man lol
I guess we all forgot, and you just reminded us that Peter Kohler is a "Cult Hero" knife designer, at least according to Chris Tanner.
That's got to make the knife more expensive and more valuable to those who actually care about "Cult Heroes".
I'm not one of them thankfully, so that carries no value for me!
I have nothing personal against any knife designer, as most knife designs look very good, including this knife, but it does not increase the value of the knife for me.
I'm looking for overall value, which includes price, performance, durability, materials, construction, warranty, edge retention, etc.
This knife falls short on overall value due to its average performance, when combined with its exorbitant price tag.
I'm so sick of this knife snobbery, as even Chris has shown objectively in his videos that the expensive "Cult Hero" knives perform no better than many knives costing 300% less, designed by lesser known, but capable knife designers.
Hey, if you want something for a glass case, then get this knife.
I guess what I am saying is that this is just an unnecessary knife, unless you just have money to blow, and are a collector, and don't need to actually use a knife for bushcraft or survival.
Get a Mora Bushcraft Black, a Terava Jakaaripukko, and a Terava Skrama, throw in an axe, and a saw, and you every base covered for probably less than one Dark Timber Cult Hero knife.
Msilverhammer you have to understand the materials being used to make this knife this is a CPM 3v takes forever to grind, chews through belts, has hand finished premium handle materials, premium leather sheath. what do you expect it to be this is expensive and overpriced for a knife but it is not overpriced for what you're paying for yes it's not needed but it's a huge improvement over anything else. and btw dont compare the skrama to this the skrama may be my favorite knife but its a woods tool, where as this is also a combat blade
Msilverhammer you cannot forget that CPM 3v is 3 times tougher than any of the Steeles you just mentioned in those knives hold an edge 10 times longer but it is slightly harder to sharpen but not by a lot. i will say it again
overpriced for a knife. but not for the price and materials. i dont see anyone complaining about axes being overpriced even tho half of the time the axes that have broken handles are ones that are AWESOME *cough* gransfors bruks. but i guess those are handforged so its totally worth it
This is a awesome knife! The price is more than reasonable for the blade and the sheath. Great review, and mine is being delivered today and couldn't be happier.
I like your dedication to get out in the cold and make a video for us. When are you going to make a video of your knife collection?
Seeing you handle this knife with winter gloves makes me realize that the Jessica-X's handle would be perfect for really cold winter use.
Hello Chris, thank you for your really good videos. At first I only watched your clips to improve my English skills because of your clear articulation. In the meantime I have learned a lot of useful things from you! Keep it up. Unfortunately I can't order in your shop from my home. But for sure I keep on watching your channel! Many greetings from
Germany, Frank
I have been waiting for this video forever lol. Looks like a good boot knife lol
Damn good show my friend you absolutely know what the hell you're doing I have a lot of learning to do. God bless you my friend
Chris! you're crazy! great video. hope your slushy blood warms back up. Lol
I have the Bark River Cub, the smaller version of the Grizzly. The handle looks identical to the Cub and the blade profile looks very similar, too.
Got mine in today from the small batch from friday! BEAST of a knife! LOVE IT!
I love mine. It's one of my favorites. Great outdoor camp knife!
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr looks like it might be -20C with a slight wind chill over there. I love the case for that sharp knife. The case was so beautiful!!
I actually thought $300 was pretty reasonable. And I don't have money burning a hole in my pocket. Quality comes at a price.
Just bought the grizzly from ebay with antique micarta handle! hanks forwhole bark river the awesome review! It will go great with my big collection of bark river bravo knives. I would love to see this tested along with a bravo 3!
Nice knife. I worked yesterday. and it froze my nuggets off..work got called off today in Mississauga.Canada.oh well keep warm..
“This is not made to be a chopper”
Cue chopper noise in background
When I was out with Jeff Robb last month he used some hand warmers on his batteries. Thought it was a great idea.
Try Peach Brandy! It will warm you right up! Me and my drinking buddies back in the day never let the cold bother us!
Already have the Grizzly, what I need is the honey badger lol. If it would stop getting pulled out of my cart online haha
Thanks for the vid Chris!
Hey is that the same pullover Ben at Living Survival has been wearing? Dang that thing is popular.
Love the Griz but waiting for the websites to allow me to add to my shopping cart.
:-)
Darn, that looks very cold!!! Sweet looking knife but out of my price range. Are you going to shoot a Mora Garberg review?
Hay Chris, off topic. What kind of boots are you wearing? I own 3 Bark Rivers and have been impressed by the quality and fit and finish.
There seems to be a lot of helicopter activity recently in your videos Chris. Are you close to a base where you are. or are they evacuating the elites to save them from the incoming asteroid? LOL.
Too Funny, love your outtakes! You do death frozen over very well, lol. How come Mantis doesn't look like he's freezing his back-end off, does he secretly tape pocket warmers to his body?
+Phill O Because that SHIRT he's wearing cost as much as my Boreal hoodie.
Kinda neat ! Reminds me of the knife a gaucho in Argentina carries , can do a lot of camp stuff, but is a fighting knife. Good review and good you underscored a few times it is large Bowie or Facone
chris....will u be doing the bark river barong in these series? waiting for ur review before I buy it
Another great vid Chris, thanks. That looked cold AF.
About to get my Grizzly. Did you sharpen it on the WorkSharp convex? What angle did you set it at.
Have you checked out the Bark River Dakar that blade looks like a beast
I really like that knife, thanks for the vid.
How do you store all of your knives/gear? Maybe a vid about how you keep track, and store all of you stuff would be cool. (I know, you probably have a list of hundreds of vids you still have to make)
Thomas Merrick he just throws it into his drawers
Haha, you mean there is no underground bunker with lights that flicker on when he opens the secret door with shelves of pristine equipment?
Stop ruining my imagination, man!
here in northen Sweden we had -34°c witch according to Google is -29.2 Fahrenheit. no idea if thats correct or not
300 bucks for a camp knife? If you want this knife because you like the design - ok! If you´re a collector - ok! But for work in the woods and outdoors? Never! There are so many trustable knifes for about $80 available … and they do an awesome job! This knife is something for lovers but not for workers!
It looks like you recently acquired a new camera. Really nice color and detail.
+Jerry W Davis Nope. Same one I always use.
Preparedmind101 - Well then, never mind :)
lucky, in Toronto we are only around -10 most of the time kinda unbelievable for Canada, (pollution)
NICE. Not for everyday clunking around
hey, what's the company name of that green hoodie you are wearing?
hello, please let me know what is the coat brand you are wearing
The point is very very thin is this a problem??? Please answer.. Greatings
I'm really like the grizzly Chris and it want one how do I get my hands on one.
Everyone bashing the price of it, and with this being 3V and made by BRKT, I was expecting well over $300. I think it's an extremely fair price.
Not in my current budget, but I don't think it's overpriced. Especially for the materials of the knife.
an awesome knife! great job
Nice job Chris .
Haha, I was out in that too. Work as an outdoor educator just north of you
how bout review of gloves, jacket, boots, etc.
thanks!
nice one will quenched in dragon tears :-D
damn, you're Killin me Smalls. I wish I could afford these beauties
-3 today compared to Friday's -25 feels like Summer :
Quality does come with a price. But I also think about how many hrs I had to work to make that 300. Guess i need a better paying job.
what is the difference in performance with grizzly and honey badger?
very nice knife. I like it just a little pricey for me good review keep up the good videos
hey could you review some Steel Will knives? I really like the Argonaut but there are no video reviews.
+Richard Edwards I'll look at it
PREPAREDMIND101 Thank you sir.
Richard Edwards try checking out gideons tactical channel. he does a lot of revviews of steel will knives. he might have a vid.
i hate to go off subject now i did pay attention to that knife and wow thats a knife but what i wanna ask you is that coat adirondak dont think i spelled it right lol anyways could you be kind enough to give me sum info on it cuz that things got cool factor i want one .
+richard till Lester River Bushcraft Boreal Shirt. Same one you see everyone wearing these days.
3 degrees F isn't that cold, for an emperor penguin... yah splitting wood works great when real cold, too bad every muscle required works real bad. BECAUSE ITS REALLY COLD. Nice of you to get the vid out in time, (insert axe comment here) (no shed comment here)
Awesome blade 👍🏻, wish I had an extra $300 lol !!! ⚔🛡🇺🇸 ✌🏻️
Yeah its cold upstate as well sir shit gets old for sure
I think this was one of your best real world reviews you did.. That knife is pricy but its a expensive steel and a 100 dollars at least for the sheath..Your paying for his time to create it not somebody just pushing a button on a cnc machine.
great looking Knife
very nice knife!
I'm impressed
Good to see wwill...if only for a few sdconds.... I'd rather see a review of his knife the Sopses... and when more will become available.
+bushcraft2012 Heard the other day there is a new batch in the works right now.
Can we see what's in the shed? 😃
I WANT ONE!
How about a plant tour?
That is one awesome knife
Good review. When will Jessie be back?
+Roger Barrus No clue. Maybe never.
No problem. Thank you for your reply. Keep up the great work!
The sapling looks green and cuts green.
GAW Grizzly? sure I'm in.
Great knife...excellent workmanship. Thanks!
great chopper!!
How's the muck boots doing
can you revu one of thos 9$ knives from horderfrat
bad ass knife wish I could afford one
it is a lot but have you ever made a kinfe it cost a lot to make even a stanless kinfe this is like a costume kinfe
cool looking knife but the Jessica-x is hard to beat.
DrZarkloff for the price definitely for sure
Bark River seems to have ceased production of their large fighting knives. Too bad.
I didnt buy this back then because what's the point of buying it for use as a camp knife if it's not designed for tasks as a camp knife. 🤔
Dude u can break those twigs with your hand.... why am I going to use a 300 dollar knife for that?
This week they are out again
I want to sleep with mine.
Of Course it drops when my The Wife has Her Surgery FINALLY Approved for next week! And Of Course the Insurance doesn't cover all of it. And Of Course Obamacare says we're too Rich to pick up the Difference! And Of Course Ohio decides to have a Winter, so my Heating Bill goes up. Yeah Ohio.
anyone know where he got the hoodie?
you had Becky in scout position for awhile....why so crazy w/this?
+Rita Heard for about 2 seconds...
True. I thought is was a little much myself @ the time, but back then your vids were just as exciting & entertaining as they were informative. Big fan & love your channel! #imissflamingphonebooks
you should send this beast to tac
Agreed.... Knives are getting way too pricey for the average person.. like a lot of stuff. However, there sre good quality knives with guarantees at reasonable prices. Check out Jeff White Knives, Mora Knives or Scharade Knives or even Condor Knives. I own and have used all four brands and I would put their performance up against any of the high priced designer knives. People just want to make a lot of money and as long as we pay it they will continue to charge it. Stop paying it and the price will go down.
BTW: Nice knife videos Chris.... even though I think the prices is too high on a lot of them.....
Levi Caddell its mostly cuz of steel choices tho, if u go with older time tested steel its perfectly reasonable
Levi Caddell and performance wise it depends. i wouldnt put schrade against brkt cuz that convex vs the hollow and the steels and heat treat im sorry schrade loses epically
Keep Out I guess it really depends on what you need the knife for.... I am not a fan of hallow grinds except for stright razors. But for most purposes common steel (1095, 1070, O-1, 440, etc.) is more than adaquate and you don't need special tools to keep them sharp. High priced high performance steel is only needed for tools or aircraft. ☺ All I need is a Barlow pocket knife to skin a rabbit or a deer. In Vietnam all I needed was a cheep $16 Western W-49 Bowie knife. It could chop bamboo or skulls depending on the need, My son carried my K-Bar with him in Iraq. A cheep knive that saved his life a couple of times.
.
Of course. Yes its overpriced for a knife it is NOT overprixed however for what youre paying for it
Levi Caddell Agree. Jeff White's knives are pretty sweet.
ITS COOL.
I think this knife was create to kill a grizzly ? 🤣
Or Timber Bark
i think i like dark river better lol ;)
Why you USA people use great anoraks,boots,fleece into the cold season and cotton jeans? the worst tissue in cold environment?
I know the video isnt about this, hopefully a 1000 people havent asked this....what kind of boots are you wearing?
save 260 dollars buy a Schrade .
Yo
🎯🔪🔪👍
to rich for me, but it a beautiful knife
More knives that no one will buy...good review though
You Americans make me laugh, in europe we pay DOUBLE for the same american made knife. Good quality and looking tools are worth their money. Think about snap-on tools..... why buy a rolex if a seiko tells time the same way. One doesnt NEED one, one WANTS one. Nuf said. Cool knife. Btw Mr Chris, Hestra makes awesome gloves, maybe try the Lars Felt gloves, i love them and the keep my hands warm upto -20 Celcius.
Vincent V I just ordered three of them in Holland, Cheers!
Wouter Laarman waw waarom 3? En hoe regel je dat met de importkosten
hey where did you ordered and what price?
Good review, expensive, nothing special...boring knife.
srvctek1 Expensive? Granted, it might not be in everyone's budget, but as far as price for what you get, it's not that expensive. Especially when you factor in that sheath. "Boring" isn't a word that's every come into my mind, but to each his own....
PREPAREDMIND101 Expensive meaning it's a lot of money for THAT knife to me, I agree the sheath is awesome.
Jeremy Warrick seriously? that convex grind and the thickness makes it perform much better maybe not for the price of course tho thats true. and comparing this to the ak47 is a joke
Jeremy Warrick really that sabre grind, flat handled uncomfortable 5.5" knife by cold steel is gonna outperform a micarta, rounded comfortabke handle with a 7" bladr and choil with a convex grind by brkt. Dont be a fanboy
Oh and i forgot designed by peter kohler
Good knife for a Rambo type of movie, but way over priced, and impractical.
Like Donald Sutherland says to the commanding officer of the paratroopers in the movie the Dirty Dozen, as he performs an impromptu inspection... "They look pretty Colonel, but can they fight?"
That's the same question everyone should ask about this knife, especially when paying hundreds of dollars for a knife designed by, what Chris Tanner calls a "cult hero".
I don't know about anyone else, but I don't buy knives designed by "cult heroes", and I especially don't believe in "cult heroes, or put anybody on the "cult hero" pedestal!
Just get a NO BS Terava Skrama beast of a knife, from Varusteleka of Finland, which is made to get dirty, and perform very rough tasks, and oh...yes, unlike the pretty paratroopers, it can fight!
Msilverhammer it depends on what youre paying for man. cpm3v costs 62$ for a slab big enough to grind this, pkus it chews trough belts like crazy, add in quality, manual labor, lifrtime warranty, shipping, leather sheath, and micarta and its reasonable.
yes overpriced for a knife, but not overpriced for what youre paying for
OK...we can agree that it is over priced for a knife, but let me go one step further and say that it is totally unnecessary for a knife to cost this much, or for anyone to ever buy a knife like this, as it does not perform any better than many knives that cost 300% less!
In fact, it under performs much less expensive knives.
It is just a pretty knife, that should sit in a glass case.
No its not it just isnt. Ive never had a knife this big with such good fine control, the perfect convex grind, chops, and is possible for a fighting knife. The fact that its well heat treated cpm3v lets it beat out any other knife out there. The handles will be much tougher to break and so will the blade. If i gave this thing a saber grind it would destroy any bk7, rat7, and esee6. Overall? Great price, however it isnt needed. Until u handle one i eont be able to explain. U get what u pay for definitely applies here.
Its got the chopping power of a bk9 in a 7"ish blade but with the detail work of a 4" blade. If it can do all that and u still call it a safe queen i dont know what to say.
To each his own then!
