Looks like a cheap rip off of the falkniven s1.

Got it and like it. Seems to be a cross between a Bush/survival and could also be used for defensive purposes.

IMHO it’s just me, even though I have two of them, I find a curved belly slices much better for me, But working wood with a S.R. K. has its limits, As far as Survival, Yeah its Ok, Batoning and making Kindling it’s Ok, but for carving, it has its limitations, Would I recommand this knife. Yeah, it’s a good 6″ blade that’s light yet strong enough. But as most knives, Right tool for the right job, ,

Blade length is the cutting edge. Starting at the heal where the cutting edge starts horizontal to the tip, nothing more.

aus 8 is junk

out of all the knives you just mencioned, wich is your favorite???

First of all is this a very nice Video but where you buy this Kniff? Thanks

my father was issued the srk when he was in the military I have had it for 10 years the blade coting wears off slowly but that not a problem it is also good for throwing if needed.

I wonder which one to buy just to have one knife,cold steel Recon tanto or this SRK..? 

The size is good, 6″ is enough to chop and baton but getting much longer gets a bit unwieldy for general use. Plus, with this style sheath, you can attach it to a larger esse, etc. for a two knife system which would be ideal.
The “modified clip point” of this knife is stronger than a full clip point (think Buck, etc.) but, as he says, is better.for skinning and all around tasks. For a one tool option needing to do many rasks, this is great. People get all bent about no pommel but, unless you encounter a lot of windows in the bush, this is a great bush knife. Maybe not the best “tactical” knife, but don’t get too invested in everything needing to be “Tacticool.” And not having pronounced finger grooves is better for manipulation for fine tasks and different sized hands.
I like it better than the SOG Force, and for less money. The sheath may be an issue for some, but, fire steel holders AND a mole strap can be added to this with a little creativity. Or do as I did and look on line and procure a different sheath, like a SOG sheath. I found a perfect, “Bench Made” sheath for my Buck and created my own, two knife hunting system, and have the best of both worlds.

you live in North Central Pa. I’m in Central PA Military buddies and I hit The Appalachian trail all the time. off of 7 mountains

I actually per chased an SRK for my self due to your reviews and a three day backpacking trip proved its ruggedness for both it’s sharp point to its residence to salt water and air still sharp after that every Boy Scout and scout master wanted one

I have one of these made from the older carbon V steel, and it is the most rugged knife I have owned.  Keeps and edge and is easy to sharpen.  I’m not crazy about CS newer products since they are mostly made overseas.  It would be nice to see a review on the older carbon V SRK vs the newer one.

I agree, you need to hammer with it. This is close to perfect. To perfect it have a Bear Grylls hammer style bottom on the handle, a bit of grip for the thumb on top for fine working, and a slightly inwardly rounded choil for the index finger doing fine work too. The handles grippy rubber is great. I have never seen one that does all this, but plus the modifications I mentioned to perfect it. Know one???

Thanks!  Great review of a knife I’ve been thinking about buying.  I think I’ll get one for sure now.  Thanks again!  Oh, what I like most about your review, is you get to the point and stay on task.  I have seen so many videos that show the person opening the box, taking the plastic off, moving to the table.  In other words a  lot of junk that is not germaine to the review.  You must plan these out and edit the video.  Nice work!

What should I get…

SCHF9
SOG SE38N Force
OR the Cold steel SRK

Thanks in adv.

carbon 5 is very tough knive keep it

One of my first serious mid-size survival knife, is the S.R.K., mine is in the CarbonV, great knife, I’m also a 3knife carry guy, so I buy my knives in set’s, when Camillus went belly up, Cold Steel stopped making the CarbonV, what a shame, because I got a Cold Steel set in San Mai, the Mini Pendleton in VG-1, Master Hunter, S.R.K., Recon Tanto, and my pre 1980’s Trailmadter, are all in San Mai, the Kukuri Plus is in 0-1, my new S.R.K. is no where near as good as the CatbonV, the tip is paper thin, and is a Hollow Grind, yet my Becker BK-s are in 1095 CroVan, which is the same steel as the CarbonV, or also known as the 0170-6C, what a shame Cold Steel dropped their CatbonV, but are finally making them is other great steel’s, eg.like 0-1, 3V, but not all styles, I compare my CarbonV, S.R.K. to my Benchmaid #152, in D-2, and it’s no longer made. I still like my S.R.K, because it’s a straight edge where my #152 is partially serrated. I really enjoy your video’ s Mike, keep up the great work.

What I don’t like about this channel is the cheesy intro and that he doesn’t really use it for a while and give us his opinion. I like hearing people talk about what they like or don’t like, how it’s held up over time and continuous heavy use. That’s what I like about Nutnfancy and The Late Boy Scout, they don’t care what the company or anybody says about their opinions, they just give it to us straight.

It would be great if you could do a review on the ka bar bk7. The bk2 has lots of reviews but the bk7 hasn’t got any decent reviews on it. It would be a good comparison to the SOG seal team and this knife. I think this personally would beat the gerber as an indestructible survival knife

should be compared to the S1 and not really full tang
