[MrIlikegadgets]

[TheGunGarage20]

[useaknife]

[PEREZCHOOCH]

Sick blade DUDE!

[TheUSMC2017]

I hate nylon wraps with a passion.

[POMED100]

GIANT SON BITCH lol i have giant knives too

[shibdiby]

nutn, can you give me the specs of it? ( blade length, thickness, handle length) I've been looking for a while, but can't find them. I know you did a review, but uit's set to private.

[metalhead2508]

@shibdiby Go to John's website. All his models are on there with the specs.

[wolffe23]

i want this

[wayfaringcoyote]

2 lbs of knife is no big deal when youre talking about the life-blood of your outdoors kit

[RestriktdProductions]

I'm personally not a fan of the nylon cord handle.

[Spectre426]

This is the end result of "cash for clunkers". Melt down an entire car, turn it into a knife.

[YOWHATTHEHELLUP71]

where can i order one of these?

[warchiefharrison]

Stock removal knives < forged knives.

nothing against the maker, but a good forged knife will beat a stock removal knife any day. ive had hundreds of knives and its always the case. not to mention stock removal knife makers usually dont harden or temper their knives, they pay a company to do it. and the company does it wrong.

[imakeic]

if you gotta ask you cant aford it. but yea its cool as hell!

[extremedealer]

cool knife

[blizzard249]

that is fucking sexy

[DL9619]

how much is the tank

[Kylef7735]

@DL9619 Go to razorsedge (DOT) us to see pricing.

[100000zombies]

hey look at my knife ! whoops dropped it, uh, not on my big toe

[inferno232]

I love you sharp shiny thing.

[gaintpandafilms]

ROFL KNIFE!!!

[dumapies]

i'd love to see a video on the predator

[LedZeppelin13k7]

saving up to have one made for my next deployment....who wouldn't intimidated by that thing?

[MrPolskadupa]

@nutnfancy what is the cost of the tank Bowie knife

[dallastiger1]

Wow...interesting blade. Does it move fast in the hand? I knew fellows in central america that were cutting pieces off some Seal Survival bowies they picked up inorder to reduce the total weight they had to haul around. Still , I think if you don't mind the weight, it looks like it might be a great camp knife. I'll have to watch some more vids here.....might go on my list of equipment to pick up in the near future.....

[Kylef7735]

@opawari fitzen has a website, but youtube wont let me post it so just go to his channel page, fitzenknives, but dont have a heart attack when you see the price, i believe $525

[kooldude619rey]

W@W

[GmasterRED]

One minute long? o_0 shortests video of nutnfancy's I've ever seen.

[thetesseract11]

dude i like where csn i get one froM and how much coz at the moment im running on an old winchster buck and it really isnt good for me i want something with a little more weight to it :)

[thc2468]

u and fitzen are silly man

[cyberjackcyberjack]

nice

[Goatoftheforest]

Someone pulls that thing on me and I'd become Hussein Bolt

[MrDahot1]

O MAI GAWD That knife looks like a very small scimitar :O

[timetokillu]

i would love to carry that around

[haroldby27]

you cant kill blood

[Say0n]

i don't like it

[koky5150]

A 1 minute review. Hmm. Wonder why when most nutnfancy reviews are 30mins.

[mojothemigo]

It's called a Spanish notch, it is for catching and controlling another blade in a knife fight.

[mrkiky]

@mojothemigo hmm, i'm not knife fighter but I wouldn't imagine that in a knife fight the blades clash much, as in a sword fight.

[mojothemigo]

This is vert true, knife on knife fights are very rare. However, having a Spanish notch doesn't hurt the blade and it is still one more good thing to have "just in case."

[onthecuttingedge2005]

when you put it up to a 24 inch blade made of surgical steel, have fun! I wouldn't want to be there.

[mojothemigo]

In a free and just society, people could throw a katana on their back and not catch any grief for it. Atleast in some states you can still carry a bowie.

[TheBillyT21]

I want to see the Fitzen Frankenstein table top. I love that knife.

[viatus]

um a bit much -_-

[romanosalvatore]

Im not diggin it, but I can see how people can. Maybe without the handsguard.

[terrateB]

looks more like a sword then a knife :>

[1BretMan1]

haha shortest video by nutnfancy.

[scottishkiwi23]

i used a knife like that last time i went hunting, i somtimes only use a knife for boars, bullets do fuck all to them=/

[JasonRedfield]

Hehe, what kind of knife are you using and what bullets are you using?

[scottishkiwi23]

Muela Scorpian 26cm double edged with tempered and rust resistant steel and a titanium tip=) aswell as a serrated edge, and when i go goat or deer hunting, i use a 308. or 303, depending on what i feel like, takes too long to take a boar down with a bullet even 10 yards away with 2 12 gauge shells it took over 1 minute, gotta go for the back of the neck by the shoulderblade to get it in the heart, bottom of the back of the neck is the softest part of a pigs body just fat and very little muscle=D

[JasonRedfield]

Well, I for one wouldn't consider ever voluntarily trying to take down a boar with a knife. I don't care how big a knife it is, either.

I know boars are some pretty tough buggers, but it seems like the proper round and good shot placement seems like it would clear the problem up (not trying to imply that you're a bad hunter/marksman).

[scottishkiwi23]

nah i do it for more of a rush, its amazing, with a gun you got some but its a dwarf compared to knife/bow hunting=) and yeah i know a good shot can take one out, i generally used to aim for the eyes, but they usually a running and walking around, and u cant get too close with em with a rifle, they will try and gore you, with knife hunting its smart to bring like 2-3 dogs to pin it down for a beginner and later on just u or afew friends, its an awesome rush, every pig is differant

[Yesmaamiagree]

Boar hunting is a rush. 2 dogs and a big knife.

[louieiglesias]

Yo Nutn, on Fitzen's Tank, how does A2 steel compare to 1095 or SK-5? Thx Broham!

[ihatefatchicks666]

Umm, i hope you're not talking about the stuff they used in the 1600's, because they break like glass,..sadly.

[TheCeltic3]

NOW THATS A KNOIF LOL

(crocidile dundie)

[cyberdemon107]

i read it in his voice

[bigc1494]

or les stroud from survivor man he says in a one of his show aha

[rockindavid310]

@TheCeltic3

NOW THATS A KNIFE LOL

(chuck norris)

[HeroSavage]

@TheCeltic3 Crocodile, they teach this in 1st grade people.

[Bigbaddragonguy]

@HeroSavage And Dundee, don't forget the other spelling mistakes.

[americanwillow]

No doubt, this is a great knife.

[americanwillow]

"but the chinese swords are just too weak for a real fight, against other close range weapons." You must be referring to modern pieces. The real Chinese weapons are as good as they get.

[Guyisaritelegend]

One year anniversary YAY!

[HumanShieldrpg]

2 pounds is 1/5th the weight of a Claymore

[crayzclown]

I just added him on my facebook. Lol

[ltzp2]

where the heck can o buy this i want it!!!!

[VideosByRaymonD]

Razors Edge, where John Fitzen hand build them with great presition :D

[FatmanH]

i like this setup but i have to say i would replace the crowbar with an ice pick, as it is just a more devastating weapon

[ltzp2]

he dosnt bring the cobar for a weapon lol.

[ltzp2]

crow bar i mean

[FatmanH]

quote from darkmatter265 "the corw bar is a vicious weapon, it can be used as a shiv and a blunt object"

FatmanH 1- Itzp2 0

[ltzp2]

well then why wasnt it a reply to darmatters comment, how was i supposed to no you were talking to him.

[FatmanH]

Who the hell else was talking about a crowbar in this conversation

[ltzp2]

i dint see this "conversation" i thought you wher talking to nutnfancy, whatever

[Typhoon07]

I want one.

[chvyant]

What do you use those for??? Are these geeks collecting swords or gangsters collecting weapons? <.< Im guessing the 1st one.

[kaldicuct]

how heavy is it exactly?

[libed91]

Never bring a knife to a gun fight, but always bring a knife to a knife fight ;)

[DeathNDecay88]

better bring a chinese war sword from cold steel to a knifefight :) search for it on youtube ;)

[Gotrilliten]

these would be a nice chopping knife...but if you really wanted to fight with a knife...just bring a sword...better yet a gun.

[scarabkid10]

cut through a tree... yeah right

[HuskyKMA]

Yes, cut through a tree. Easily.

[MrVaepOr]

look at his video of him actually using it to cut a tree

[kaldicuct]

a knife can cut through a tree, maybe not in 1 shot but its just like using an axe, chop peices out and that tree will go down

[13itch333]

the tank looks kick ass xD

[dapoetmaster]

For the weight IMO it's too short & too slow for a fighting application. It's good for chopping though. Just too much mass to move with any speed. I mean, U can get a trail master for easily less than half the weight & over 3 inches more reach & still have plenty of mass for chopping so I just don't see the appeal other than the 'wow' appeal.

[extinguishersoul]

ah spring steel, That explains the 350 dollar pricetag.. still a great hefty lookin blade though

[Paul07901]

Nutnfancy my ass! Your user name at the top of ALL your videos is more illustrated as "fancy-pants".

[jungleprimitive]

shut up. nutnfancy rules.

[r6v2man]

dude shut up and get a life you retarded communist Paul07901.

[JACKSONAXER]

[nighstalker239]

That's not a knife it's a fuckin sword.. Haha

[TravisLikesCoolStuff]

[sig4833]

[nofgood]

pls keep them cominng

[MerlinFarley]

That is a wicked blade! I would definately like to hear more about it.

[nutnfancy]

Roger that

[aussieranter]

roger THAT!

[MetalheadsAbyss]

whats that hole in the bottom of the knife for??

[jeepraceing]

The "hole" at the bottom of the blade sometimes known as the "Spanish notch" similar to the gurhka knife is used to hook on to the skin and jugular vain of your enemy's throat (normally if you attack from behind) as you slit their neck. From the looks of these knives being so close to the guard it is probably used for breaking/ cutting barbed wire/or other cable and for design that helps to make the knife a bit lighter.

[MetalheadsAbyss]

wow i dint know that, thanks man

[bucksatan1]

Lol, I think the blade is used for cutting someones throat. If Im not mistaken, the cut out is for grabbing another blade and breaking it off or levering it out of someones hand. Pretty fucking gay and nonfunctional, kind of like most spaniards I know so yeah, spanish notch....jugular vein and all that.

[jonesr999]

What's the purpose of that inset hole at the base of the blade?

[Roger1379]

John explained in the other video, it's to catch a blade and disarm the opponent.

[jetfuel545]

Those are some mean lookin bowie fighters. Tank thats the name i gave to my Swamp Rat Chopweiler. Its a brute, thats for sure. Nice name you gave the A2 bowie nutnfancy.

[mrbeligos]

but, but , its above 4 ounces....

[Niels3107]

[stan1234655]
