Thanks a lot!

I just picked one up from bladehq I love the ergos and the blade is finished great love the shape great survival knife and camp knife

Nice test, to the point and not hours longer than it needs to be, thanks for the info, I think I'll buy one.

Thank you very much sir i appreciate the response and keep up the nice vids

I have been eying that for a while as well and have held one in my hand, very thick heavy knife. I would say from holding it in the store it is a rescue/firefighter tool. I am keeping my eyes open for a cheap one so I can get a review out there to you all. Thanks for your support Trevor!

Glad I could help, I would also check out the Tops Knives DART, chops even better! I will be releasing a review in the next few week on the DART.

Micarta actually gets better traction when it's wet than when its dry. Rubber, while still staying somewhat grippy, is more slippery when wet than dry. Micarta doesn't melt. Micarta has a much longer life span than rubber does. The difference in shock absorption is so miniscule, it's not noticeable in our hands. As much as you might not like it, Micarta offers a lot of advantages over rubber

Dude, it looks identical to my all time favorite, the Buck Reaper, which I own four of them. They are so awesome that I had to go back and buy three more just to stash back in my gear box. I also love the Gerber Prodigy, same thing...I went back and bought another one, so I have two of those. How does the Buck Thug compare to the Reaper? The Thug just looks like it's a little more high quality than the Reaper.

I got the reaper for christmas 3 years ago from my girlfriend. It's been my hiking knife ever since and I love how lightweight yet tough it is & it looks sleek & intimidating as a self defense tool

Great review got my Thug yesterday. Rip Ron Hood.

Thanks, and I have subscribe and check out the tons of new videos and they are all with a red background.

Coating, the edge geometry (flat grind) and the design in the micarta

I will have to see what I can do in the future.

which one do you prefer?? Rat7 or The thug??? thanks for the video. it was pretty cool~

nice review thanks

Thanks!

The guy who was with Buck died and his wife is now taking over the production of his latest knives designed by him with Buck.

How good is the sheath that comes with this knife? I know alot of high end knives can come with some really crappy sheaths.

I believe the tops D.A.R.T is the same knife, the only differences I can see is the coasting

you should do a comparison with this to a TOPS D.A.R.T. Very similar design, 7 inch recurve blade, 6.5 inch cutting surface, kinda kukri looking, micarta scales, 5160 carbon spring steel...would love to see a comparison

Kraton is nice, but Micarta is here to stay. I will alway take micarta over kraton, it is more durable and becomes more textured when wet.

Good review!

It gets the job done. It doesn't suck, but it is not amazing.

Do you not find that the tops dart slips out of your hand more when chopping?

+Crispin Levy Yes, it is the one thing I do not like about the design.

Well....Ok. The melting thing is true. I think about the rest. Thank you for you input.

I just got a Buck Thug today for Father's Day. I've watched this video multiple times. I had to watch it again today because my thug has a full flat grind versus the hollow grind on the one you have which is just like my reaper. Have you heard of them changing the grind or do I have a luck of the draw? Maybe because of you and your vids like the thug vs the tops dart they have changed it.

+Whisky Bound They changed it a couple of years back due to customer demand.

Looks like a great knife. The Hoodlum, punk, and thug are all top notch blades. I can't wait for the Buck scum bag, the Buck c*cks*cker, and the Buck Sh*t for Brains.

Reminds me of a smaller Tops Anaconda. Pretty nice.

Is it better than the Esee 6?

305ssmonte No, it is good but the ESEE6 and TOPS Dart are better.

Just a note for me to remember

btw i dont believe that knife was made by Ron because hes been dead for 2 years just saying

Can't wait till the micrapa handles go out of fashion in the knife world. Give me good old rubber any day. Better grip in cold or wet , more shock absorbing ,cheaper to make. I just can't see any advantage to the stuff. Someone fill me in maybe??

I do that too. lyle

It was one of his last designs

C'mon man, that's not how you chop wood. It's gotta be at an angle, not completely perpendicular to the grain

It gets the job done. It doesn't suck, but it is not amazing.
