Great video guys! Very well done. Next time, we'll send our strongest ;) Also for those wondering, yes we didn't send a 4MAX or an Espada because we wanted to be fair.

@@julianpetkov8320 that's kinda the point of a folder.... To be small but useful, I don't want to carry a massive blade on me at all times while carrying a whole bunch of other crap on me. Also small blades have there place outside of opening packages, I work as a contractor and I have never felt the need to carry anything larger then a 3 inch blade. I pry, notch, cut, scrap with my blade and open boxes/cut wrap. need to cut branches or clear brush? grab a sawzall or a machete.... treating a knife like an axe is silly imo, but it all comes back to what tool do you need for what task versus convenience, very small tasks that can be done with a blade that will save you a trip to the truck versus being an idiot and trying to cut a tree down with a 4 inch blade.... Also the point they were making is that for what it is, it did pretty well. the freek was never marketed as the super heavy duty bushcraft knife that can withstand everything you throw at it, it's just a edc knife. Also a side note I don't like cold steel, the lock is unnessary and slow to use and deploy and the quality outside of durability is trash... pretty sure they just screw in the thumb stud and lock rock it in place and why is the thumb studs uneven? Why does everyone go gaga over the triad lock it is just a back lock but slightly modified... Why is the detent on them so bad? Maybe i'm being to critical but my god, why are these pocket knives so heavily praised.

My two favorites, Muscled hammer guy and Mr microphone ! Incredibly strong folders Tip : if you want to baton with a folder without damage dont lock it, let it with a 90 degrees angle

Is there any evidence that this is true? I've heard it repeated a lot. I've seen Felix Immler use the trick to avoid damaging the extremely fragile Victorinox Swiss Army Knife lockup but I believe he only used it to score the top of the log blade deep, then pry the knife out and use wedges to split. I don't really see any reason why hammering on the top of the handle with the blade at 90 degrees would be less damaging. I could see it being worse in fact. Anyone tested this?

@toma1460

​@@DL-ij7tfnot sure you understand exactly what is being said. With the handle unlocked and at 90 the blade is still horizontal like batoning as usual. The handle however kinda left dangling vertically so as you hit the front and rear of the blade to baton down you aren't hitting the handle but the back of the blade at the pivot point. Hope that helps.

SHIT! SO HAPPY ITS THURSDAY !

To be honest this is my favorite video of the year ! The editing is so damn clean and the whole thing can be watched so easily. Very well done boys you truly deserve to be in this god damn Dutch knife exposition

What a fun episode! I have several tough folders including Bechmade S30V Freak, Contego in M4 and M390, Adamas, Cold Steel 4Max and Sr1. They all are nice. The one I've carried the most is the Contego M390.

The victory of the Cold Steel was a foregone conclusion, however I always remain convinced that the knife can never replace the axe and the axe can never replace the knife, the same as a folding knife can never replace a fixed blade and a fixed blade will never replace a folding knife, for each activity its instrument. When I go to do bushcraft I always use a Mora and an axe, when I go trekking I use a little folding knife, when I'm at work my Leatherman Surge never leaves me and always saves me from the unexpected. Really good work guys! I hope this new European copyright law does not compromise your quality, you are a great channel, keep it up! ;D

The Freek is the one that surprised me the most: doesn't look like tough, but is. For me that's a winner.

you guys rock!! got Fox Tracker fixed blade and Cold Steel recon 1 for 10 years and can say those two are my go knives for camping

I’m so glad you guys made this video. Even cooler cold steel commented. Cold Steel is BEEEAST!

Neat. Would be nice to include the prices as well. I own the SR1 and LOVE it. Glad it did so well in your test.

Very interesting conclusion! Figured the cold steel would be the sturdiest, you simply can't go wrong with them! Loved that the Freek got an award for the favorite! It seems to be the most handy, handsome, and EDC able knife of the bunch, and the first one that I would get

I laughed out loud multiple times!...great stuff guys!...I also own the SR1.....

Love the throw back DBZ references. Noice!

Would love to see a pohl force folder in that test , great vid as usual ,

I used the meskwaki on various trekks in the woods and enjoyed the experience very much. I didn't throw it at trees tho (consider its sheer weight and size, the forces exerted on the hardware at the impact are much higher than with the other knives, especially the smallest ones like the BM and cs.. so I would use this part of the test as reference . )

Big TY and Shoutouts for that guys, hope to see you still around and succeeding in a decade. Love from your German neighbor.

Next time can you compare the Battle Horse Knives Treefrog to some of the competition. It has 2 steel pins keeping it locked in place and is one of the toughest folders on the market for sure.I would love to see how it does compared to these.

Thanks for yours work.....good vid...best vishes from Lithuania .

Yeah I agree. The hollow bullet tube creates a wierd echo.

Fox Meskwaki and Extrema RAO are meant to be used with their secondary lock, if engaged they shi on other folders. Their immense weight and length make them more susceptible to throwing them into something (due to how the weight is distributed). Im a sucker for the Meskwaki, that thing is just powerful.

More folding knife video's please. Love the fixed blade video's... But I can't edc a fixed blade on my person as easily. I could actually carry all those. I carry an adamas, a swiss champ, and a surge as my edc. More videos relating to edc type of tools from you guys would be cool. Even gave this video a thumbs up and I am commenting to help you guys out.

When I saw this video title the first knife I thought of esa the cold steel sr1. Such a thick beast! Or I also thought of the CS recon 1 in cts xhp or their newer s35vn version. Did you guys sharpen them first? My cold steel knives always came with rather high angles especially on the thick knives. Great video

The realest testing channel in the knife game. Hell yeah guys!

4Max is the unspoken of Champion lol good video guys!

I have the one with the USA carpenter steel less than $24 hard to beat for toughness/value to price ratio. I have xxl hands and I'm 6' 3" , 300+ lbs and can open the pocket bushman one handed , no one else that has tried to open mine One handed other than myself has succeeded . I'm wicked tough , HA HA HA just kidding , no. This knife could be very dangerous for some less experienced and weaker physically and mentally and morally . morraly???what the F🐑🌊k

Great site folks. Get it hot off the press HERE 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Bro in the start of the video i thought that the cold steel will win the test and it was true :D!

I was fully aware that the demko tri-ad lock and secondary locks are tough guys. I had no idea that an axis lock can be that resistant. Like, damn...

Great video! Is there any chance of reviewing the CRKT M16 folding knifes? They also lock like these knifes do

didn't expect that... ...Knice, though! 👊🏻

Its interesting the 2 bigger knives lost against 2 smaller lighter knives. I own the Benchmade freak and I like it a lot but I tend to baby it because its so nice looking.
