I have an F1, the shape/profile is great for strength and prying, so that's not a bad thing. The only issue i find with F1 is the Laminated steel chips out if accidentally hit against stone. Lilly's knife edge looks less brittle, so it might roll but that is easily resolved

At a certain point you could apply that argument to any knife. She's made a knife, why are you trying to take that away from her? How many knives have you made and taken to market? One less than her I suspect.

Lilly saw that I accidentally did a double order and quickly fixed the order once she contacted me to be sure I did not order 2 knives on purpose. Outstanding customer service!!!!!!! She is an honest, and trustable internet merchant!!!! LOVE THE KNIFE!!!!!!! She included a suvivral Lilly patch, love rhat!! Very happy with my order!!!!

So if I wanted to test one on my channel and give an honest opinion is there a way to contact you other than KZread?

Bow drills are for real emergencies only. Why weaken the knife and ruin it with a divot that will wear out and is not really necessary. Using ferro rod is easier especially if you're not strong (like me). I have already attached an emergency ferro rod in a hidden place on the sheath. Easily done and with all the sheath holes and spaces there is plenty of room for custom mods.

Nice knife. Whole lot of thought went into that tool. Watched this with my daughters. It’s nice for them to have another example of a young female entrepreneur.

Lilly! Great job! I love the R&D effort you've put in this project. *standing ovation*

Fantastic work Lilly! Congratulations!!

Ill be ordering one asap. Yay my fav survival channel made it's own blade. Feels oddly sentimental. I remember finding your channel through a video of you building a primitive shelter. Congratulations!

Her knife history sounds like my dating history.

That's a great knife! Congratulations, Lilly! Going through all of the various reviews, tests, and revisions required to design a knife is time consuming and hard work, so I respect what you have accomplished. I really like the quality features that you've included. Congrats!

You’re welcome. I really appreciate your gratitude. Such a thoughtful person.

Your website had an apocalyptic event! 😂 How appropriate for APO 1.

For US residents because the value is under $800 it should be able to come in Duty free. However I don't know the local state laws around importation of transfer of Knives so please check your local laws. But there should be no Customs Duties associated with the knife into the U.S.

Your talent is endless. Great job!

You always do such a great job on all videos... thank you so much.

I'm gonna order it just to support. You done where your from and other countries. Put alot of effort in you vids. Deserves the support!!

You're both right - the mix of metals will readily corrode the carbon. The blade also suffered very heavy pitting corrosion from her salt water test. Wrong grade of SS if your using anywhere near the sea. The screws are cheap to supply and require no skill to fit ......unlike rivets....but i guess that's the sacrifice you pay for "Made in Taiwan".

Congratulations Lilly !! I want one ! You have thousands of Canadian fans, perhaps an arrangement between you and Canadian Prepper to be your Canadian distributor / affiliate would facilitate many more sales than shipping from Austria. In addition, might help both your sales if you and CP did a cross promotion of the Bugout Roll and Apo-1 ! I'm not sure if Canada Customs will add a cost to Canadian sales of the APO-1 ... but I'm sure you can get around that by making Canadian Prepper your official Canadian office/affiliate or licensed distributor. I am a retired Toronto lawyer, and I would be more than happy to volunteer my services and give you a working contract (that you could amend or fine-tune to your business needs). I'm happy to provide this draft and any unofficial advice you need, for free as a gift to help you and Canadian Prepper's sales. And no I don't know CP, though I've been a fan of you both since your channels started.Anyway, good luck, I know this knife will 'cut down' poor quality competitors, ha. It seems a lot of quality field research went into your final product. Very impressive ... go, Lilly go !

Paused the video seconds after starting it to order the knife. After watching the video was not disappointed. I enjoy your videos in general, liked your explanations of how you developed your APO-1. I recall in Mora testing you used Kansbol and Garberg with a bow drill for fire starting. Am curious what your thought process was for shaping the lanyard hole on your APO-1 knife. All in all appears like a great utility knife to carry in general. Keep up the good work with your videos.

I'm no lawyer, but it should be okay. It doesn't have features that make it an illegal offensive weapon. IE there's no false edge and it's a fixed blade. AFAIK outside of the immediately illegal stuff, the laws mostly relate to carrying: Anything bigger than a small folding 5cm blade knife and you need a reason and anything is a weapon if presented as such.
