I'm sorry but this guy always seems to be an advertiser for junk. I am sure he made a good amount of money doing this but taking him serious, I think not. I don't know how he became so popular with survival stuff and would really be curious how he would actually do in an actual situation. I also think Gerber is garage as well, put this up there with the Bear Grylls line of knives. For that price range, I could build a complete survival kit.

Nice Knife....but that price!

Really nice knife. Love how many, yet useful and not just gimmicky features are included in it, like for example a survival kit in a full tang knife. Beside from that the overall design of the blade and the handle seems really thought-out as well. Finally someone made sure the extras don't get in the way of the main purpose of a knife.

And about this knife, given the price, I'm sorry to say that I rather get something that is cheaper and spend the rest to learn new skills. Skills last forever, material do not, thank you.

+Brandon Monroe Wow Brandon. Thank you for the kind words. Good observations with regards to the BK2 and BK7. Some of my favorite knives and I love the hefty build... but I've had a rough go doing fine detail work with them. So, we designed the MSK-1 to have the heft but a bit more agility and versatility. Yes, as far as my convictions, I wanted the MSK-1 to be a legacy knife that would last a lifetime... making them here in the USA allow strict quality control and fantastic materials. Even our sheath are Made in the USA - they even have an American Flag sown into the back :) Have a great day! ~David

+Ultimate Survival Tips Thanks for replying and I wish you the best of luck and success with this knife. I'm 14 year old starting bushcraft/prepping from Quebec, so the knife is a bit out of my budget.. Haha. Us viewers from Canada will have a bit more trouble buying the knife with the whole weak currency and shipping ordeal. Where I live there is a 15 percent tax and it may cost close to half a grand for someone in Quebec to buy the knife. Anyways, good luck, and keep spreading the importance of being prepared. It would also be pretty cool if you did knife showcases in Canadian cities such as Montreal, Ontario, and Vancouver to expand the reach of this market to us viewers/survival enthusiasts up north. Anyways, thanks for the awesome content David, you are the survival KZread channel that inspired be to start being prepared.

Hello David I received my MSK1 Ultimate bundle a few weeks ago and was out using it yesterday, I have to say i am really enjoying the purchase. I was able to hack at a tree without breaking a sweat and not hurting myself. I can not wait to see what other products you come out with by the end of the year, My wife would liek to have one but we are waiting for the smaller MSK1 to come out as the one that is out now is too big and heavy for her to use. The Knife was spot on and cant wait to see what else i can pick up from you to make it easyer in the bush when we go camping. GOOD JOB AND KEEP'EM COMMING.

This looks like something TOPS knives would produce. Did you consider working with them? Anyways, I am currently not in the financial position to support you in any meaningful way, but you can bet I am gonna get one of your knives the minute I can afford it!

Yeah this is his "ideal" knife but for people that dont want to spend 300$-400$, and if you do want to spend all that money why not get a Mora,Bk9 and Strongarm and still have money left over to get another knife. I bet people will still buy this knife but for the money and im also sure people won't buy this knife because either its too cheesy and it has a few limitations. But hey thats my opinion.

Thanks for the comment. For sure, MSK-1 is NOT for everyone. Be it the price point, the look, feel, your style, or the desired or intended use of the owner... etc. that's why there are literally tens if not hundreds of thousands of knife designs out there. For functionality MSK-1 does a very wide range of things well. It can do ALMOST anything, but like every knife has limitations. Like it's not a very good machete... like a longer blade would be. It's a GREAT chopper, but no match for an axe... It's not as good at wood carving as a small carving knife (but it can carve)... You can filet a fish with it, but it's not going to perform as well as a specialized filet knife. Like Chris's mentioned... Jessica-X is a fantastic blade... just a different catagory of blade, designed for a different purpose. I hope this helps. Good debate! ~David

Ultimate Survival Tips + Made In America has gotten out of ballance compared to the average worker's income, because of the growing division in incomes. In the 90s I designed and built a prototype of a good climbing tree stand. The cost to fabricate them was the same as where the selling point needed to be. That before liability insurance, packaging, shipping, retailer fair profit. And without that last factor, sales are a fraction of possible, keeping the price up. The United States people had better get back to seeing what the Creator has to say.

Congrats on the knife. Looks really quite good!

Better steel and better heat treat and higher quality and better detailed and better sheath and far better sheath options I bought it all and I'm impressed you must not have much knowledge on knives because my MSK1 has 154 steel and is made bye Tops Knives your one of them miss informated doofuses that assume to much kabar is trash compared to the quality of the MSK1.

Seriously ! It is one of the best video i have ever seen to show a new quality product ! From the camera angle to the field test ! It takes only 30 seconds and you already know it is the best knife ever made ! I bought it and i can wait to use it for the first time !! Good job on the knife and the video :)

You can definitely tell that a lot of thinking when into this incredible design, so cool! can't wait to get one.

As far as a "SURVIVAL KNIFE" goes, I think you did a pretty good job. Testing countless knives DOES make it easier to know what will work and what won't when you design your own. The geometery looks good. Jess-X is proof that a stout body with a low saber works, so this should baton great. Centerline point...check. Final sheath included: Check. Price makes sense to me. A Jessmuk with a Yellow Hawk kydex rig is going to end up about the same price. I think some people process the price differently when it's not all in one. Easier to justify than if you actually add up the price of the custom knife you want, PLUS the custom sheath with all the bells and whistles all at once. If one is being honest, the price is fair given what you get.

David, it's hard to say as basically all your vids say every knife is so great but if you really are a true outdoors person then you will know that one knife can not do everything, even in a survival situation situation that requires the use of a blade and it is very dependent on the environment you happen to be stuck in, Or even if you aren't in a survival situation. If it's made fully in the USA from all USA made raw materials then ok the price will be high due to higher labour costs (that's ok) but now i notice that made in the USA can now mean simple "assembled in the USA with either foreign raw materials and locally sourced home grown stuff. As for the D2, working near the salt water would require constant washing AND drying of the cord wrapped handle. Even with my old Strider MFS originally made with ATS34 rusted up on the tang if I got it near the salt water (all coastal applications) and really required the cord to be removed and thoroughly washed down in fresh water. But it's still ok. But I've got to say that MFS is a real workhorse too.

that knife looks awesome great design david!

ok I would spend my money for this knife system for defense, survival, pretty much EVERYTHING in one! you made a great product, love that optional sheath you did too!

how can anyone say D2 is a tough or unstoppable steel? False. Even done right and getting the most potential out of it doesn't even pit it in the top 10 survival steels. It is less tough than A2 even. it has decent wear resistance and stain resistance and that's about all. It is brittle and prone to chipping. Its lateral strength is poor. "D2" and the word "tough" should never be used in the same sentence. Im nearly stating fact. Show me real world data that proves me wrong. Charpy C tests even? Something. You can't cause there is none. 👍 There no reason to have an edge geometry like that either. Looks like a 25 DPS edge. if it were truly tough the primary grind would be at a sharper angle and so would the secondary.

FYI... the knife used in most of the pounding, batoning, chopping etc... (basically the hard use) shots in the MSK-1 video is NOT a brand new knife... It's my personal MSK-1 that I have had since this time last year... I have beat the crap out of this thing, never put it on a stone to sharpen it... run it one time in a year (10x on each side of the blade) on a SUPER Fine mesh ceramic rod (just because) and ONLY have stropped otherwise... Once or twice a week with Yellowstone compound worked into my homemade leather strop and it still shaves the hair off the back of my arm. But thank you for your comment. I REALLY appreciate it.

No it isn't trash you maybe but it is severly overpriced due to it being a first in the manufacturing, you probably won't understand that since you are clearly a close minded person but it is now a lot better at 230 to 250 dollars with cpm 154 a much better steel

Surprised at some of the comments on here, $325 might be a lot, but we are talking about a hand made, USA sourced steel knife. There are plenty of knives that cost way more money, my Murray Carter neck knife is 50% more than that one is worth, and is half the size. As long as its made well, and (in my opinion) has a good warranty - its worth what it costs. People complain about no jobs, and poorly made products overseas, then when they're made in North America, complain they're too expensive, typical.

Hand made sure sure, bet a guy named joe once touched it so now it's hand made lol

Great job!

Well thought out.

Lower your price down below $100 and we'll talk. You're asking way too much for what you're making even with the set up. I could buy a bk7 or bk9, custom sheath with fire steel and flashlight holder and additional esee pockets and a piggyback for a smaller knife and its made by better people than the ones you have on your team for less than you're asking. Try again.

Aaron Martin the difference is...those people u claim r better...have big business backing them...independently designed and made...clearly you’ve never bought custom made...

Not all made in usa are good how many usa company maker closed and bankrupt coz they make crappy stuff

Oh look it's a BK2 except it's like 3 times the price and has a bunch of stupid tacticool wank you don't want or need. Knife looks like trash, just get a BK2, BK7, or BK9.

What is "looking like trash" ? The knife is objectively nice, it's just overpriced af. It looks nothing like the BK2, they have similarly shaped handles but that's all. The blade design is completely different. TOPS knives cost more and give you the same exact materials (1095, 1075, and 154CM) but nobody bitches about them. Don't bring in irrelevent points because you don't like something, you sound jealous and salty

Better steel and better heat treat and higher quality and better detailed and better sheath and far better sheath options I bought it all and I'm impressed you must not have much knowledge on knives because my MSK1 has 154 steel and is made bye Tops Knives your one of them miss informated doofuses that assume to much kabar is trash compared to the quality of the MSK1.

@@obiwink2182 Is this satire? 1. Your use of language is atrocious. 2. What's the supposed argument for 154CM being better than 1095? Why does your expensive safe queen need to be stainless anyway? Better sheath options? Clearly you're not a real knife person if you don't just make your own stuff. There ARE only 2 options; commission a custom design to get exactly what you want, or build it yourself. I bet you the cost of 3 of these shitty knives that you don't have the balls to actually buy one and then throw it into a tree. But then that was the Christening of my BK2, throw it into some trees, strip the blade coating off, put a custom mustard patina on it with inscriptions and then do absolutely nothing for rust prevention for nearly a decade... And yet still no corrosion 🤷‍♂️ My bet is that you 'think' 154CM is 'heaps better' because you read so on the internet. But the supposed justification for this is that it's a stainless steel (in fact it's just fancy 440C) and supposedly it has slightly higher HRC than 1095, thus marginally better edge retention... But if you can't sharpen a 1095 blade on a pocket stone and put some damn oil on it to prevent rusting, then you have zero business playing with real knives. And if you CAN prevent a blade from rusting (which is easy) and you CAN sharpen it with a simple wet stone and diamond hone (which is easy) then you'd have zero desire for a knife which is supposedly stainless steel but more difficult to put an edge on and retain the edge. FYI, the best sheath option is DIY kydex - it's exactly what you want, however you want it. You sound like one of those 'misinformed doofuses.'

@@obiwink2182 Pretty funny projection to make an assumption of someone and then accusing them of making many assumptions. I should expect no less from someone with a depth of knife knowledge that extends to "more dollar equals more better."

Nice work, I dig it

very nicely done!

That is one unique looking knife!

Looks awesome

cool knive. i think that u did a great job designing the knive. i sure do wish i could have one:)

I can't wait to get this knife!
