Beautiful knives Chris. Cant afford a damn one of em at the moment, but that day will come. Your designs really are some of the best.

The shed would be missed. Mother Nature is slowly taking it . Oh yea, the knives. Nice variety. Thanks for the shout out with the perseverance knife. Every one has their favourites and it's interesting to see them and hear reasons why they are chosen.

I love the jx4 bush bat with the kydex sheath, great looking knives!!!!!!!!!!

I am personally saving up for a JX4 CPM 154 Bushbat right now, I knew I wanted it, as soon as I saw it.

I know you like your hi end steels, but seriously guys are killing each other with sharpened toothbrushes in prisons! Loving your work BTW Chris!!

Getting a bush bat in December. I've limited to 2 knives a year. I can't wait!

5 favorite sheds?

Check out Spyderco Street Beat, full tang, miicarta handle, 3.2oz, VG-10…sweet! I carry it horizontally at 10-11o'clock; minimal or no printing w shirt out.

Good video series Chris. I would venture to suggest that a parallel budget version of these categories would also be well received.

I have used a shit ton of knives for edc...JX6 = best EDC knife ever. I have one in A2 and one is CPM 154, and having a custom sheath made now. great knives Sir.

sweet knifes chris hope to get some one day you always show some pretty good stuff thanks and keep the videos rolling like to watch them and see the things you come up with

Love the first Bark River 🤩🤩🤩 I didn't know you designed knives. I bought the Artisan Cutlery Sea Snake designed by Navy Vet Mike Emler. Love it. It stays around my neck. I'm one of the whistleblowers blowing up the Cuomo brothers. They're pissed AF. I added a taser gun & pepper gel spray to my arsenal. Great video. Love the channel.

just got a Borka sent to England! Result in itself. good video.

Some great knives here good to see Case represented also some cool fixed blades.. Kydex sheaths very tactile

Maybe I missed it, but I did not see Case represented here. ?

I love that Kydex sheath with the ulti clip are you going to start including those because I went to the website that you provided and you don't have them yet

Chris I would love to see a Bushbat variant with a row of aggresive serrations on the spine..For us that want to carry it for self defense

Jx6 is an instant classic, im actually giving a brand new one away in my new video. Really liking that dark timber 1911.

Man! I love that dark timber! as it is. how do you improve on perfection? I want it!

How about a video for 5 budget version of fixed blade's EDC? Love watching your reviews. You do an awesome job.

So...you almost spilled the beans on Joe's surprise. Can we expect to see a JX6 with full scales and no exposed tang?!?

Thank you, Chris! I realize I'm slow noticing, but I LOVE the JX6 Companion! I really like the blade shape of the Bushbat, but I'd rather deep-kiss Hillary than have a kerambit-type ring on a knife handle. I like the way the handle turned out, it looks really comfortable. As Bark River is doing them, do you know if there's going to be a CPM-3V or an Elmax, or even an S35-VN version?

I do not carry a fixed blade for edc...My edc knife is a Benchmade Adamas Automatic. My camping/survival fixed blade is the Benchmade Nimravas in desert tan. In my car kit, I have the USMC K-bar in Black. I also have the Becker BK5. Great Video!!!!

Is there a video of you torching the shed with a flamethrower? 🔥 I'd have tuned in for a live feed to see 👀 those shenanigans. 🤣🤣🤣 #NavyBrat

If you compared the Brakimo to the BOB? Which one would you choose for an overall champion. I am torn between buying one of these two for outdoor/bushcraft applications. Would you say if the Brakimo had the handle construction of the BOB, would it be the ultimate?

@thelambinator9234

Yes show down Brakimo vs BOB vs Perseverance Survival Knife, that's a great idea Robert Humphrey.

I don't know which I like better, the JX6, or the Bush Bat. Might have to get them both.. Dammit Chris Tanner!

hey Chris. could you just do another fixed blade knife collection?

That's why they make chocolate & vanilla. I really like the Brakimo handle. LOVE the blade.

Thank you. Great knives.

Nice lineup, brother. Now, are there any folders that you personally like? And yes, I know you're not quite a folder guy (you love your fixed blades too much, lol).

would be nice if that sheath on the companion you showed came standard with it. like that design alot its on my wishlist.

I'm liking preparedknives 101's videos

Chris? What did you do? So the shed has two holes in it ... and if you line them up you can see right the way through? Really? Chris what did you do to the shed? What did you shoot it with now? ;)

nice bunch of knives, the last one is one I wouldn't mind owning

I really want the jx6 in 62-64hrc elmax...

I love and want the jx4 bushback!!!!

Gosh, I really need to get a BushBat. I've meant to since it was released, but i just haven't had the funds.

Great Video Chris! Still putting some scratch together to pick up a JX6. Question... Have you seen the "The Beast" by Treeman Knives? It is kind of Nessmuky. Looks okay for Bushcraft stuff. It's expensive AF! 1/4" thick, 01 Tool Steel. He does a special heat treat on his knives. Would love to see really anything by Treeman Knives from you, but that one is right up your alley i think.

I like a nice fuller too.

That ring blade makes so much more sense for retention purposes. How can anyone not like it for defending themselves? Buuuuuuuuuuuut, those are last three are knife guy carries. I would never choose kives the size of the last three. Especially since they are pocket carries. Heck I have enough in pockets as is.. Pepper Spray, flashlight, Biz card wallet...etc

Jonathan Stokes Yeah it can definitley do that..You cant pull the knife all the way through and you have to stop the motor right past when the tip first starts to make contact with the tip..Also stop the sweeping motion when your like a quarter inch away from the tip..Its kind of tricky and takes getting use to but it can be done and just takes some practice with it..Hope that helps some. It would be easier to show in a video than through text too

I EDC a handgun in urban environments that's a lot bigger and bulkier than any of these knives, and, of course, spare magazine that add to thye bulk. I'm not a fan of any of the knives in this video. Chris has a lot of viewers, but, frankly, numbers talk and companies listen, even when the content is silly, as it often is from people who really have no extensive life experience. In fifty years, I haven't seen anything as unnecessary, as useless, as amateurish, as downright silly as the Jessica-X foolishness. All of these knives are designed for beginners, for amateurs, who believe anything if someone popular is involved. They're all needlessly expensive, and completely unnecessary. There are much better, cheaper knives on the market. But these knives are NOT too big to carry in an urban environment. That's silly, and tells me you have no extensive life experience, either. I guarantee you encounter people every day who are concealing bigger knives, and far bulkier handguns. I have a son who not only carries a fairly large knife, but also a full size 9 mm, two extra twenty round magazines, AND an SBR with a suppressor. Both weapons have red dot optics. No one knows he carries any of them, even when he wears jeans and a T-shirt. The simple fact is that whether you're in the wilderness, in the country, in suburbia, or in the heart of a big city, you need weapons that are big enough to do the job of saving your life, and carrying less than this is foolish. You do NOT need the kind of knives in this video, and while Bark River does make good knives, there's more hype than fact, and far too much money involved to choose something like this. The knives in this video are all "look at me, aren't I knowledgeable and cool" items, not anything you actually need for any knid of use. But if you allow size to deter you from carrying a knife, a handgun, or anything else, you may as well just go without weapons because you really don't know what you're doing. This doesn't mean you need a knife with a ten inch blade, but you do need one with a blade big enough to actually be a weapon. A five inch blade should be minimum.

Okay, now I can continue from yesterday. So from what you've shown us, it looks like you want your fixed blade EDC knives to be in the 3-4 inch Range in Kydex sheaths that you can dangle or clip into your front pocket. And you want your "Outdoor Fixed Blade General Purpose" Field Knives to be in the 4-6 inch range in Kydex with a Ferro Rod attached that you dangle near the front pocket. Yet you can EDC them when needed. Damn. Now I see why you seldom carry Folders. Because of the Restrictions I have to deal with at work, well, never mind. Damn, Chris, that's.... a Solution to a Problem that I never could find the Right Answer. So, when you get the Kydex with the Clip for the Bushbat, please spend a few seconds on how it looks in the pocket. Oh, and the Dark Timbers that don't seem to follow your System? Who Cares? They're DARK TIMBER, RULES DON'T APPLY TO THE GODS! Thanks Chris. Onto the Choppers.

I can send you a Oregon Himalayan blackberry start that will engulf that shed in a season plus you'll get tasty BlackBerries :-)

Gorgeous, quality knives!! Call me cheap, but I just can't bring myself to submit a $200 knife to EDC.

First of all, thanks for another great vid....I could watch these top whatever knife vids all freaking day long - I wonder how my kids can watch the same damn cartoon movie 20 times in a row, & now I'm realizing that they likely wonder how I could watch these knife vids....anyhow, I've got to call you out on something - I noticed something that I'm certain no one else has noticed - some of the knives on your list(s) here are YOUR OWN DESIGNS. That's right folks, it took me hours of deep-webs research, but it's all true. Shameful Chris, shameful. Lastly, I just don't understand why Tops doesn't go with better scale designs. When I first started getting serious about knives, Tops was one of the 1st companies I collected, & then I discovered Bladeforums & custom makers & it was all over, but the biggest issue (aside from the stupid jimping), & it doesn't need to be an issue, are Tops' handles. I love that they use micarta, but why don't they get rid of the weird designs they grind into the scales, & instead give their customers a nice smooth micarta handle with a simple medium-ish palm swell...stop it with the damn bow drill divots, lanyard holes - unless it's a chopper or a necker I suppose...& the only reason I care is because they hire some great designers & then they produce knives that are almost awesome...why not get rid of the jimping, the dumb holes & divots & designs they needlessly throw at the handles, offer a simple leather sheath option with every knife so folks can choose, & their profits would go up by something like 1% - 1,000,000% - somewhere within that range - why Chris?? Why are you still reading this needlessly long post?? Why am I still typing this needlessly long post?? Is it because I don't want to start doing actual work at my work?? OK, now I'm going to watch your next top whatever knife video & leave a sweet comment that may have had a chance at relevancy a week ago. Scott
