Holy shit guys that's a proper knife test.You would give most knifemakers nightmares but in all fairness cold steel blades are a one off purchase.My SRK went everywhere with me including Germany and Bosnia not as abused as your example but did all I asked and didn't jamb once or run out of ammo a proper blade.All the best.Tony

Been researching different knives for about 3 weeks now (been at home recovering from melanoma surgery ) have watched and read just about everything on the cheap Chinese all the way up to $1000.00 blades. Just received a package today with a Cold steel SRK (VG-1) and TOPS B.O.B. Looks like I made the right choice! I've gotten so tired watching people blah blah blah with the knife on a table ...so boring and mundane. Good job with this video...it was entertaining and very impressive to watch what the SRK can take. Thanks

Got mine in Iraq nearly 13 years ago, and it's served me well ever since. Granted, I haven't tortured it quite as much as you guys, but I'm glad to see that it should hold up if I really want to push the limits.

Awesome knife, send it back for repairs just to see what they say. And send a copy of this video!

That was pretty impressive - I have a Recon Scout and always wondered what the TANG really looked like. Cold Steel doesn't have a clue about explaining in detail about the Tang - I asked and asked and got totally vague answers - not even a sketch. So this vid is great - shows great vertical endurance and finally I see a Tang!! There was some serious horizontal stress on the blade as well when those huge rounds were thrown down on it - clearly there was horizontal stress on the blade there too! THANKS!

That is without doubt the most amazing 6 inch blade knife destruction test I have seen since KnifeTestsNoss! INCREDIBLE!!

Great video, thanks.You can tell Cold Steel that YOU guys sold me on their products!

It is impressive what this simple middle sized knife can take. I'm sold on this one!

Ok I got two things.... 1.) Thank you for not standing in front of the camera yakking about this knife and showing me just what I needed to see... Which is what kind of abuse this thing can take... I too would never treat a knife this way, but a picture or this case a video is worth a thousand words.... 2.) Thanks to your video I'm going to jump over to Amazon and pull the trigger on one!

OMG! What a test! And guys, he already said back there in the comments: it's the AUS8 steel version. SK5 couldn't take all that! Not that it's a bad steel, usually it's a good steel but CS had a lot of problems on their knives with SK5...

This is my favorite torture test vid! Its the reason why i bought this knife n I love it! Whenever I talk knives with ma dawgs I always bring up this vid!

BushBrothersNZ Don't use an axe against the tang. The axe can fracture off a piece of its self at bullet speed. Not funny when it burries into flesh. I'm still carrying a piece of same. Was luky it didn't go in my eye. That was over 30 years ago. Please wear goggles to do testing. That's what professionals do.

This is my survival knife and from what I just saw on this video I made a very good choice.

Great test video proves just how tough the knife is, first time i have seen the handle removed but now i know the tang is good. Hope you rehandled the SRK with micarta scale or alike as she has proved her worth. Thanks again for the all your time and effort that you put into this video, take care God bless.

Got one, love it, great knife, great video made me lol. Liked and subscribed. John

Best knife test video ever made. Subscribed but noticed you haven't made any vids lately. Really liked the reminder to always wear protective footwear while the guy's wearing flip flops.

"Always wear protective footwear" and the one guy is wearing flip flops LOL Epic. I was worried about where the tang meets the blade. This used to be all square 90 degree corners I believe and I did see them break right there. These corners seem te be rounded of a bit and although I would like to see it even more rounded it still withstood this hard use. Great video.

There's some knives that are actually brittle, or just have a breaking point or weak spot. However there are others that simply will not break. The steel performs the way you'd think true steel would and shows incredible strength and durability under torturous conditions. When you find a knife that does this its a keeper for sure.

WOW!!!!! I have been looking for a knife that would take that kind of abuse. I was thinking about Essee Junglas but definitely sold on the SRK. Thanks for your video. You guys rock!!!!!

Guys, you deserve one million dollars for this video! Absolutely beast.

I have one , I had it for 12 years and I never used it , it is still brand new in the original box ,I was going to gift it to someone , after this. I,m keeping it . :)

I hope that you sent this video to cold steel and they sent you some swag(new knife) for proving the durability of this knife. Best part was getting two 40lb + blocks to stick together without wrecking the knife. Probably the best video I've seen.

You made me smile. Love the tender style of cutting the orange. :)

I am impressed what this knife can take... awesome.... so I am glad to own since few weeks my own one :-) we will see what the future brings. In my opinion you shoud get from Cold Steel some knives and stuff for free, for doing this great testing video!! best regards from Germany!

Good to know that the blade to tang transition is radiuses on the SRK. The thing looks as tough as a Busse.

That has to be one of the best knives for the price if not the best I've seen them for 50 buck range.

I am usually not into destruction videos, but you actually made a point if what this knife can withstand and also what one definitely should avoid doing (using it as a peg). Now please go and test the 3V version 😁

Nice video...im sold

New subscriber, just had to sub when I heard ya mad Irish family. This vid made my mind up on the Srk. It's shape is great for someone that fishes and hunts and wants a survival blade. A lot of the survival blades are too broad and can't cope with hunting tasks at all. Great vid fellas

excellent - new handle and your back in business

Nice touch with Parkway as the intro! Probably gonna grab one of these bad boys now

Awsome review!

whew... for a minute there, I thought you might try to abuse the knife...glad you didn't!! Apparently it can take it. LOL

I literally watched this video, and then purchased one. I wonder how many of these srk's you've sold with this video? Great job!

WOW, I'm impressed.

lighting the handle on fire was a nice touch.

Awesome!!

Love the "tactical" sandals.

May I ask which blade steel this is? The SRK has come in Carbon V, SK5, San Mai III, AUS 8A, and VG-1 that I recall. I have 5 or 6 in Carbon V that I've had for years now and I love them.

Made in Seki Japan of AUS 8 Steel. I also have a USA made Master Hunter in Carbon V. I bought it at a garage sale for $ 10 . It was made by Camillus. Excellent knives.

solid proof that Stainless steel (if made properly) can be very tough. Now the internet steel experts who have been constantly bashing low grade stainless steels like 440A, Aus8, 4116 and 12c27 can shut up.
