That knife does look great and probably one of the best products to come out of Russia, and they should be very proud of it at the company making them.
Timex watches “takes a beating and keeps on ticking”! My father was a bush pilot and those Timex watches did exactly that and so did mine lol...good memories...
Thanks for another great video, and another knife to be placed on my RADAR... as far as the age test... it was John Cameron Swayze who made "it takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'" a household phrase for the Timex watch company. Keep up the good work.
My heart skipped a beat when you tossed it and caught it.. In the beginning of the video, I thought the knife was too big. By the end, I feel like I should have one. Thanks (kind of)! ☺️ Blessing, Bryan, to you and your family.
John Cameron Swayze said it for Timex watch commercials. He was right by the way. A great line for a "working man's" watch which wasn't expensive. If your dad or granddad has a Timex in an old shoebox or drawer, chances are it still works. That is a killer blade Bryan. I would say more survivor than bushcraft, but a good bushcrafter could make it work and look easy doing it. Thanks for showing it. I remember when you found that piece of fatwood. You left some fatwood there for later use. In another year or three you will have to harvest some more.
I was thinking this was a 5 minute video after it was over, then I checked the video timer. The old Timex slogan was running through my mind right after you started beating the tar out of that sweet knife. That’s my kind of knife.
I really like this Kizlyar Supreme Senpai Tactical Tanto Russian knife. I enjoyed the review of it, it cut well, feathered wood great and was well balanced in throwing. That's a great made knife Brian,I personally appreciate u doing the review on this Beast of a knife. Well done.
I always love your choice of chopping music LOL 😂 I like a flatter grind like that for most all cutting and choppo. Thanks so much for sharing this video and be safe 🙏
kizlyar is becoming the new cold steel,alot of aus 8 knives and they seem to get the hardening right to pretty ok price,i dont really like stainless but aus8 seems to be really strong,they are really popular in australia and basicly everything there is petrified hardwood.
Go 'ole' Timex commercials ..thanks for the review. Your videos have been one of my primary entertainment outlets while I'm recovering from a severe cold. Have you done a review on SOG's Pillar? I would like to know your opinions on this knife. I would love to see you put this knife through some of your field testing. I know it has S35VN steel.
John Cameron Swayze made the line "Takes a Lickig' & Keeps on Tickig" famous promoting Timex watches back in the fifties. I remember it like yesterday but then I'm older than you are. Oh yah, almost forgot, nice review.
Depot 7 carries Colonel Blades. Someone else told me about them when I was looking for a Colonel Blades knife; so I'm obligated to pay it forward. They carry the full line; so if one is sold out, there are others featured at the bottom of the page. dep7.com/product/colonel-lowvz-kit-double-edge-sharpened-made-in-italy/
I'm not a fan of batoning and I certainly like several Kizlyar blades a lot, however one has to be aware and careful that sometimes this can happen, in cold weather: ruclips.net/video/C47epuVdkhE/видео.html ruclips.net/video/IjMLud4oKeg/видео.html Certainly can happen to blades of any brand anywhere, so be careful what you ask and when your knife to do.
@@Yiannis2112 Вы ошибаетесь, первый нож сделан другой фирмой ПП"Кизляр" steel Aus-8 - it's not "Kizlyar supreme", второй нож сделан "Kizlyar supreme", also aus-8 steel. His price max 20$.
@@prickle-c9m Despite that I don't speak Russian, surely I made a mistake, cause the first one is not a Kizlyar Supreme. I thought it was. My bad. However, the second one is. I don't know if that's what you're saying. You're correct. It is in different steel. AUS8 instead of PGK. So my bad again! Didn't mean to bash KS. As I said, I like them. I have a Nikki...Thanks for pointing this out!
@@Yiannis2112 "Kizlyar Supreme" really had problems with knives with Aus-8 steel before - they made them too hard, so they broke. Then they fixed it. With PGK steel knives, no one had such a problem. I can recommend the "Sturm" knife of their production also from PGK steel. I have it for more than a year now - I really like it! My English is as bad as your Russian ... :)
Bryan, very nice knife but it screams for a leather sheath. The phrase Takes a licking and keeps on ticking was used in Timex Watch Commercials in the 70’s. The man who said that Tag line was John Swayze aka Time Swayze. I’ve pretty much worn a Timex watch of some kind all my life. After I learned to tell time, my Grandma gave me a new one every year for my Birthday
Reminds me of a scaled up version of my old Cold Steel Recon Tanto with better materials. I like it. Thanks, Bryan. Keep safe and stay well. Oh...Timex. 😉
Pgk isn't similar to D2(way different composition), its made by Latrobe or Lohmann and it's their version of Cru-wear/PD1/Z-wear. That should make it great stuff and Kizlyar says its heat treated to about 62hrc (depending on the model, this one I saw 62hrc, others I've seen 61-62 or 62-63 range)which is pretty good for that class of steel. It should still have a lot of toughness and at the same time have very high wear resistance.
Checking out all these Kizlyar videos, got one like this, but in green with AUS 8 steel. Really like it, gonna get another in black with the longer D2 blade. And that should all the knife I need lol.
Senpai is the top student in a Japanese Martial Arts Dojo under the Sensai or Chief Instructor. Cool name for a Japanese style knife and it tough from your testing, I like that knife style.
Hi Brian, thank you for the review. Have you used the knife afterwards? I expect you don't use a knife for 2 years but if you've used it more, are there any positive or negative experiences you can share about the design or the steel?
It's not a traditional tanto shape. The point and the whole proportions of the blade look more like a tanto-length wakizashi than anything. Most traditional tanto had a full-flat or very high sabre grind. Hardly any of them had what many westerners consider a "tanto-point" - instead the width of the blade tapered along the whole length terminating in a very acute point.
Nice knife love the old timex but could keep ticking when the elephant stepped on it if you remember that commercial same time they was shooting pens into walls an they would still write. An they say coldsteel is over the top
I also always heard it from Timex. The fact that it is true is why I always use them for work. Question, do you still have a discount code for the olight flashlight with the 90 degree angle and sos flash? I used it to buy one of those and I loved it. But I did lose it of course. Thanks!
It looks like a number of other knives with various small differences. It is a nice knife and I'll probably pick one up. Also, in half a century of knockin' around the mountains, desert and jungles of the world in all seasons I have never had to baton anything. I'd probably make life miserable for anyone using a knife of mine to do so. It makes me cringe to see it. Like using a handgun for a hammer.
John Cameron Swayze. I just looked him ☝SARASOTA, Fla. - John Cameron Swayze, a pioneering television journalist who later delivered the famous line “It takes a licking and keeps on ticking” in Timex watch commercials, is dead at 89. The newscaster and announcer with the folksy voice died Tuesday at his home. After becoming host of the 15-minute “Camel News Caravan” on NBC in 1949, Swayze developed into one of the first popular TV personalities. The show, sponsored by Camel cigarettes, was the forerunner of the modern newscast and boasted presenting “today’s news today.” It replaced a straight newsreel format with live shots, interviews and commentary. Swayze, who was host for seven years, was known for the opening line “hopscotching the world for headlines” and the carnation on his lapel. His sign-off was also fondly quoted by the public as a farewell phrase: “Glad we could get together tonight.” “When he signed off [with that phrase],” said his son, John Cameron Swayze Jr., “he really meant it, and I think people understood that he meant it.” During the 1950s, Swayze held other broadcasting jobs, serving as a panel member on the NBC quiz show “Who Said That?” and was emcee of a children’s educational show, “Watch the World.” After “Camel News” folded in 1956, Swayze went to work for Timex and was featured in its commercials for 20 years. ADVERTISEMENT The ads showed the watches being subjected to various kinds of abuse, always emerging intact. Elephants stomped on the watches in one commercial, and another showed a watch strapped to the pontoon of a plane landing in water. A Wichita, Kan., native, Swayze began his career as a reporter with the Kansas City Journal Post. He later switched to radio, and did a brief stint on pioneering television in Kansas City in 1933. He permanently moved into the new medium in 1948, when it wasn’t considered a plum assignment. Many journalists referred to it as the “thing,” Swayze recently recalled.

"[But] television . . . has the extra dimension of the pictorial to aid it in telling a news story. Television more than any other medium brings the story to the public and lets the viewer make up his own mind.” Last year, Swayze moved from Connecticut to Sarasota, which had been his winter home since 1986. In addition to his son, he is survived by his wife, Beulah Mae; a daughter, Suzanne Patrick; six grandchildren, and eight great-grandchildren.

It's been a while

Yes they did.
A fine tool.

Thank you Sir!
Nicely done Brian, maybe the choil type hollow at the handle end of the blade might be better on the fero rod. Very nice knife
I still wear Timex!
I bought this on Amazon, and it states its made by CAS HANWEI. Wonder if I got a fake one.
Now that a tuff knife.
Great knife! Jim Bowie would have Been proud to have owned it.
I love that saying...john Cameron Swayze

Cool
Maybe...a simple fileing for a flat spine. Think with that done its a winner for the price, sounds decent.
It seemed to work ok as is.

I have sort of a thing for this style blade
Survival On Purpose Have you seen the knives Walter Sorrels makes?
I see a fellow anime weeb made that knife.
Hmmm
As a fellow weeb and knife enthusiast, it's simply a tried and true blade shape that is ideal for slashing and high penetration.
nice video, what do you do the the knives after testing? I like the way you test the knives, real world testing. stay safe.
Some I keep, some I sell.
I like that knife. :-) How thick is the blade? Unless I am confused, the specified "Thickness at Guard: .018" does not sound correct.
How else would U weigh on Brian if not on a scale? LOL. Love yur vids. Keep 'em comin'.
Best Regards from Phx., Az.
