Ka-Bar D2 Extreme Destruction Test Part 5

[duknifeuser]

take one of the knives that has passed a lot of tests and baton it through broken knives! I was surprised at how long that lasted too

[styles7887]

what did you do with your gerber lmf ii sheath,can i have it

[skimenruslan]

We are pleased to look all of your video. On this knife.

I really liked it. If you can add video test FUTURE cut the nail diameter of 4 or 5 mm.

Continue to do this, it is very good!

[shawn4201111]

tard arnt those knives $100

[vwvr6t]

WHat was the purpose of this test? In wich survival situacion you will used a knife as a prie bar or put 250lbs or more that you weight in a knife?

[ToweringPillarOfCats]

@vwvr6t They are just testing it...

[SuperScalemaster]

The Busse knifes survived the weight test ( over and over)

[Jonbino]

A knife can be your only friend... the one friend that wont betray you... If you dont respect the blade... the blade wont be there to save you...  as you just proven...

[17USMC1]

@Jonbino good point man but the mans just showing how durable the d2 is so that the buyers know what there paying for...ya know?

[11bHOOAHH]

when that knife broke, my balls started to hurt for some reason.

[Jonbino]

I respected this test on D2, until now. You should have stopped after if survived the 1st flex test. It did survive... there was no need to do it again. The knife didn't fail... you did. The other tests were serviceable but knives like this should never be used as pry bars. Eeek...

[Glivity]

has any knife actually survived this test?

[CookieMMMonster]

@Glivity Cold steel kukri machete.

[noss4]

@mrSnaicli Wrong, It is to find strengths and weaknesses not just to destroy. Only small minded dumb asses don't understand this.

[rocketwilliam]

@mrSnaicli actually it is kabar d2 extreme DESTRUCTION Test

[chibraxial]

Serrations ... serrations are a major structural weakness... not surprising it broke there

[Jonbino]

@chibraxial

This is predominately a fighting knife as all KA- BARs of this design are. Serrations on a blade are mainly for cutting things like rope or other tough materials.  I wouldnt pound on a serrated blade for the very reason you stated. This is just not that kind of knife. I agree. He should have tested the plain edge. Maybe it would've survived. He wasted over 100 on a flawed experiment, as with the serration you cant properly test the strength of D2 steel. *cough* Fail!

[Warescrackdown]

@Jonbino Your ignorance(stupidity) is amazing even for youtube.

[Jonbino]

@Warescrackdown

although i would perform this test on you... uh, broke it.. broke around center..

[TheRebelhunter15]

LOL u broke it XO

[jppcherokee]

Hey dude, I bought the Gerber LMFII infantry knife after watching what you did to it, awesome. I broke the tip on a RAT 5 D2, So far I dont like D2 steel. I just wanna ask to maybe do the step on the knife test at the end cause I enjoy watching you try to cut through steel and stuff, thats really cool, but when you do the step thing it all ends when they snap. LOVE what youre doin, please continue. Good stuff my man, thats the stuff we need to see when making a decision on a blade, thanks! :)

[buster67671]

your right it does say extrem destrucion

[buster67671]

I watch your (test) so far the only thing you have proved is how to destroy a knife not test a knife

[carlyle0229]

@buster67671 i think hes proving how strong these knives are,

[7748bassfisherman]

idk how u can step on that without crying

[donttalktome951]

@7748bassfisherman he has a stomach made of steel and mental toughness of a Navy SEAL! =)

[GMGvanS]

Sweet!

[blowupuate13]

WTF who is going to be standing on a knife like this?!?!?!

[XB0XFR34K]

@blowupuate13 its to show how durable it is

[Dutchling88]

@blowupuate13

The point of a destruction test is to push the knife beyond its breaking point.

[doubleshotgun02]

what was the strongest knife you have tested so far?

[morewhitethanu]

Knife horror movie :'(

[GMAN2187]

Thanks for doing your tests. I always wonder what they will hold up too, but I would hate to put my knives through that!

[chrisdeli7158]

i cried when i saw the decapitated ka bar

[qHighFlyerp]

Great knife , although i wonder when you have to abuse/rape ur knife that hard lol

[HerrHeinrich]

I really like your reviews. They give an excellent impression of what these knives are capable of...

But I keep wondering, what is your personal all time favorite knive ?

[drewsterm7]

225 LBS. HA.

[KnifeNut88]

@drewsterm7 What are you laughing at punk?

[leighrate]

It's actually a fair test. Driving the blade into wood for two thirds of it's lenth and then standing on it is an effective way of determining how brittle the steel is.

As a general rule: The harder the steel is, the more brittle it is. A survival knife has to able to withstand a fair bit of misuse. If it cannot then avoid it.

[555Nato]

@leighrate ,driving a Kabar for two thirds into wood is a fair test?and you think this knife is not good for survival?shit man.have you ever been in a "survival situation?".a real one.not a camping like one.this Kabar does all and more one could ask for.only shit for brains call this knife too brittle for surival.standing on a knife full weight.there is no way you knife need to do that or close like acivities in survival situations.survival is about using your head and knife in smart ways.

[leighrate]

@555Nato

Ok,

1) I have been in life and death situations that have need a good knife.

2) The reason why I think that is a fair test is that there is less leverage on the blade two thirds in rather than the one third that you would use if you had to dig or pry with it. D2 is known to be brittle and has a demonstrated tendency to shatter. Its a good small knife steel, but no really suited to Ka-Bar sized knives.

Ka-Bars are good knives but I think the 1095 would have performed better.

[555Nato]

@leighrate ,I think this Kabar D2 performed pretty well .dont you think?the USMC Kabar broke easier than this knife,except for the very top of the tip.but the tang help up longer than the tang of the USMC Kabar.not all D2 is that brittle.many are.not all.Kabar treat their steels very well as we can see.Kabar is a very good knife.so many soldiers in life and death situations have depend on it and praise its use.and that was the 1095 steel.and that is the USMC Kabar ...

[555Nato]

@leighrate ,the Kabar Warthog did do very well also.and that one was 1095 steel.so i general i agree with you on 1095 steel is better than D2 for larger than 5 inch blades.but this D2 Extreme knife did do more than you would expect from D2 steel i think

[scunknuckles]

this makes about as much sense as testing a jack hammer by throwing into the ocean .

[PureAssassinIII]

@scunknuckles What?! You mean Jackhammers aren't ocean proof? WTF man someone could die if they are not ocean safety approved.

[LedZeppelin13k7]

D2 is kind of brittle, it makes sense it would break under pressure but the edge holding is awesome.

[saithix]

what a waist of a good knife

[RYDERkN]

@saithix Its not a waste for him because this is what he does, and how he makes money for him its the best use because he makes money off of them

[teb0atoz]

This is funny, I read a forum post a couple years ago where a guy was battoning a piece of wood and it broke a halfmoon shape out of it. D2 is a very hard steel not ment for either type of abuse.

cheers

[jamesejudy3]

Man.... I just got done watching this criminal activity (or it should be criminal ;)

As my girl likes to say,"That hurt my heart"...

But I'm glad you did it & not me! Now I have an idea of what I can put it through.

Thanks! ^_^

[dills2403]

can i have the sheath?

[ShockTrauma69]

cold steels are overpriced for what they're worth though, even for a tactical fighter. Ka-bars are cheap and reliable

[555Nato]

@ShockTrauma69 ,agreed.Kabars have shown what they can do in combat.they do work.and they are lightweight.which is a BIG pro when confronting an enemy

[555Nato]

@ShockTrauma69 ,plus that in my opinion the Ka-bar has by far the best grip ergonomics of all those knives.another thing very important for a soldier.

[tohairylittlewomen]

@manowartrexspacefan agreed. Cold steel over kabar any day of the week.

[3HKnives]

well yeah of coarse it broke after you beat the shit out of it!!!

[chevygearhead454]

why didnt he put it all the way to the hilt??

[fappometer14]

Why didnt you push it in all the way into the wood when standing on it like on srk?

[ryanmail2004]

@fappometer14 leverage? we wanna see how strong the knife is and if it bends or stays rigid. If you just leave the tang sticking out, well fuck, then all we get to see is tang strength.

[ctophu]

how can you do this to a ka-bar.....

[hflat1]

@ctophu If someone didn't test how strong it was, how would you know it was worth respecting?

[punyo4u]

Outstanding combat / survival knife for its price.

[timdangerous]

This physically hurt to watch. It was like watching a fellow Jar-Head being tortured. Was it necessary? I suppose. Was it freaking awful to watch? YES!

Take that Kabar to Arlington! It damn well deserves it! Semper Fi, D2.

[IandDuncan101]

This was painful to watch..

[chevygearhead454]

i cried a little watching this

[nightmarefacility]

I'm not so sure I'd let this guy borrow my knife...

[asg00001]

@nightmarefacility

lol i know i wouldnt

[nestornegron]

ka bars have produced more killings in the hands of marine raiders in Guadalcanal than all other knives combined in US Military inventory of blades.

[1MuFfiNz1]

who bounces on a knife? serously , that is one hell of a knife.

[painfull94]

i think the glock 81 did better and it is less money

[omid11]

one hell of a knife

[mihai1993r]

you destroyed a good knife!!!

[misterchuckle]

@mihai1993r it's a destruction test, so i think that's the point.

[russianbimbo]

dude, throw some JB weld on that and do some more tests, i bet it still works like a champ

[killerkowalczyk]

so are these knives no good? is there anything better? Thanks.

[BigBananaMan]

Ka-Bars are great knives... Unless you weigh over 200lbs and intend to bounce on it. I've owned mine for about 5 years and used it for everything from slicing french fries to clearing 1" tree limbs. It's the standard model, not one of these new ones. For a $40 knife, that's good in my book.

[TheAaronGreen]

@BigBananaMan the kabar d2 is hell of alot more than 40$

[BigBananaMan]

I bought mine at the PX for $40. I've seen them somewhere else (online I believe) for around $45-$50 though now I see them mostly around twice that for some reason.

[misterchuckle]

@killerkowalczyk these knives are good no doubt about it. ask what's the best knife and you'll get a different answer from everyone because it's based on preference. but in my opinion if you want the best look into fallkniven, strider, busse and rat cutlery. those, in my opinion are top. if cash isn't an issue a good custom knife is probably the best option.

[mts00007]

Anthonya01, good comment 5/5.

[juj1n]

ya cuz you know knives were meant to hold 225 pounds like that...

[Joeskateapool]

notice the silence when it breaks....

[88RF88]

hahaha !! Anthonya01.you made me laugh man :-P

[Quicksilver4991]

Well....

[rmdcoolboy]

God I hate it when a good knife brakes. But still a good test.

[crate777]

Awesome, well done! 5/5. I wish, companies could represent their products that way, so people could choose what they want

[duthemath]

i had a knife tip brake in a tree i stabbed it bent it side ways and snapp when u stab atree wih like bich bark tree but brown it is like they bleed but it just water they drink frmthe ground taste quite sweeeeeet

[Oozy9Millimeetah]

every time a blade snaps my ballz hurt LOL, but seriously its sad

[jessie74]

Ka-Bar D2, I knew it well.

It had so much more life to give, but unfortunately that life was cut short.

It gave it's life so that others can live.

RIP

[CAUTION136]

ha cut short

[SDSnyper]

This knife took a lot of abuse, and these videos were more or less stress tests showing things that you might encounter.. still.. its always sad when a knife breaks..

[ILLEGALLYAZN]

My 1095 ka bar weeps in horror

[PFCROMER]

Have you ever been in a rollover? probably not. all 4 or 5 passengers try as hard as they can to get out, and weapons ammo cans, radios, mounts, assault packs going everywhere in the cab, it makes it near impossible to get to any other door. the old design for combat locks make it really fucking hard to open when the vehicle is upside down. (new ones are much, MUCH better.) and good luck getting out the turret when its tipped over. I mean it depends on the situation.

[PFCROMER]

trying to pry open a burning combat locked hmmwv door may be a real life situation.

[chibraxial]

and I'm curious how you'll apply 225pounds of pressure with your hands.

Are you The Hulk?

oh.. and a Ka-Bar D2 extreme is only 100$ max.

When other knives that did passed those tests.? 200$, 300$ even 400?

[rickbar123]

send it back

[VicariousReality7]

Lol

[bubba008009]

well that knife is weak !!

[VicariousReality7]

What.

[BerserkJheova]

thats test is so important for make best future projects. Back to the table board.

= good knife.
