  • your not using those knives for their intended purposes. for one, the airforce survival knife is meant for cutting aircraft aluminum, and cutting through the canopy. and those tests were not really testing their survival abilities. you were just beating the hell out them. if you knew survival skills, you would know that you should try to use your knife as little as possible...but anyway...iwould go with the airforce survival knife

  • FINALLY someone shows what the SOG is, the SOG seal pup is NOT a survival/brush knife, it is a utility/combat knife and excels in those areas...

  • WOW that is weird, my SOG seal pup must be an updated version, it looks different and it was only 50 bucks (i do NOT have the elite)

  • If you were aircrew regularly in an aircraft, which knife would you prefer then? Aircraft skin, even the thinnest sections, are about 1mm thick...... of course it depends on pressurized or un-pressurized, but still, all are much thicker than the tin can you used to test with. Plus, it's harder aluminum, 6061 or such. Would be cool to see you test these knives in an aircraft type material, and see how they do, especially considering the areas of airframe, which is roughly every 6-12" apart.

  • hey i have a camilus knife,mines is in a brown leather case,and is bit more tatty looking,but knife is sound,Am scottish,but know its an american pilots survival knife.

  • Comment removed

  • The camilus can be used to split wood into smaller burn able bits. You can see the how to around YouTube, the sog I'm not sure I'd trust with splitting wood like that.

  • @KorumEmrys A seal pup now cost just $50 at walmart before tax, you can buy the seal pup elite for $100 which uses aus8 steel.

  • crazyc i love you

  • It's a fecking file! - the serrations on the Cmillus knife! Thank's for an otherwise nice vid. But frankly, you look stupid trying to saw through the tin with it! Just look at the width of it - really doesn't take a genius to suss it out.

  • @ciora1980 I was just trying it out, and since I didn't have a fuselage handy I had to use whatever was handy. It's not a file though, it's for cutting through aircraft aluminum.

  • fuck u

    

  • @crazyc515 nawh fuck your ugly mother

  • @ShadowCompanySW Come on guys, it's just a couple of knives and a goofy video.

  • Great Vid..I would be very happy with either and would not complain with either, though I could have two or three Camillus Knives for the same price as the SOG,..thus I'd prob choose the Camillus..Well Done!!! =)

  • They are both good knives but I would pick the seal pup.They sell at walmart for 59.00

  • Dude that made me cringe when you sawed through that can with the SOG Seal Pup.

  • I prefer a heavy, thick blade knife. I carry a sharpener. And I like the "hammer" butt end of a heavy knife. More durable over time.

  • i think the "saw" on the Camillus is more of a file than a saw, for smoothing out wood for trap/shelter/possibly fire making purposes

  • @mtlwarrior1 even if that is not the intended purpose, i could see it in that role

  • I have the exact same Camillus and that thing is amazing

  • The SOG is 3 times more costly. The Airforce knife is very tough, gets the job and carrys a stone to boot.  Go Camillus. (I carry a good pocket knife for opening tin cans, etc.) stonenstrop

  • @martynbiker you havent ever been in a SHTF situation either. I have. I used the SOG. It got me home. And using a SOG doesnt make you a "poser", in fact no knife can make anyone a poser. So sincerely, shut the fuck up.

  • @beatty169 You're not a badass because you've been in a bad situation with a knife and people don't value your opinion when you flame them every comment sincerely, calm down and grow up

  • @Noobpatty thank you for shutting him up i have been in a shtf situation and i dont talk about it but thatnks

  • @ halftrac. The can is thinner that a downed aircraft fusalage which is what the saw back was designed for dumb ass.

  • I prefer the Ka-Bar USN Mk 1 to both of these. You have a good blade profile, good for basic cutting, plus a butt cap for pounding. I'm not sure if there is a serrated version (mine is smooth). I do prefer a shealth with a stone pouch, but that's an afterthought. You can easily store a stone somewhere with your gear.

  • I'd be happy to have either one.

  • Nice video, thanks.

  • why are you calling tin and sheet metal a synthetic material? as far as i know all metals are naturally occuring in one form or another

  • Screw Tough as nails , I'm tough as a Camilus!

  • That's good for smashing, hammering.........persuading.

  • shit I didnt know they made seal pups in 1933

  • dont the french foreign legion use the camillus?

  • @weetoddtv dude deadliest warrior sucks when it comes to names of equipment they tried to say a walther p 38 was a luger handgun. and the knife used on the show was a WW 2 Ka-Bar. this knife wasnt even around at that time

  • @Sudz1911 yea i was thinking that too but wasnt sure

  • @weetoddtv because the french are pussies

  • go with the camillus...blade sharpness is mandatory..and it has it's own stone and is much easier to sharpen...sharpening stainless steel out in the boonies is nearly impossible...

  • u should have compared them with the kbar but still good vid

  • Sons of God.

  • Last time anyone mentioned Amazon prices was a year ago.

    For reference you can get the Ontario knife for 45 dollars new, and the Seal Pup for 55 dollars new. Dont know if that makes a difference to anyone or not. If you think the Sog is the superior blade then its easily worth a few dollars more.

  • This is a USAF MILITARY SURVIVAL Knife for downed Pilots.

    The saw is for cutting your way out of a downed aircraft! Not for cutting tin cans!

  • at 4:00 and 50 stitches later - very responsible demostration

  • sog is made in china.... no good

  • why is "made in China" no good??

  • @trollgoal lol awesome

    

  • untreaeted bro green bat and dry burch for logs is better

  • OH yeah, and learn to properly sharpen a knife for gods sake, those are blunter than a badgers arse!

  • if my LIFE depended on it, give me the CAMILLUS, if you wanna be a poser, take your SOG.............you have obviously never been in a SHTF situation......

  • What are you smoking aus 6 is some soft stuff. Couple strikes on my carbon sharpener and I could make the aus 6 blade disappear

  • SOG plastic handle, dont have a full tang! craptastic good knife if you need to open your pork beans around the fire..........

    1095 carbon will strike a fire started unlike most stainless, and 1095 will take and hold an edge better.

    The Camillus is a better knife, but Id personally go for a full size USMC KABAR!

  • Is the seal pup worth it

  • They look like a pair of potatoe peelers, get an Aitor "Jungle King 1"

  • I'd just like to share my two cents. If you're in an extreme survival situation and you don't have a lot of time for toolcare, the stainless is better - it won't rust up on you and that is invaluable when the sheest has hit the fan.

  • seal pup is a survival or a combat knife ?

  • if i ever came upon someone cutting nails with a knife.....i'd eat him first!

  • @ZedStone1 Don`t eat him man it is contagious. You will be sawing through a box of nails after the first full moon :S

  • and also the leather sheath could dull your knife1

  • bitch

  • fuck that

  • You are destroying those blades on that can.. It makes me cringe....

  • hahaha aw thats tough wood

    

  • Yeah, not a "saw".  It's called "jimping" or sometimes "gimping" and it's meant to increase friction for better purchase while gripping a knife or doing techniques like batoning.

  • @jasonklass It's not jimping (and it's not ever called "gimping") it's a saw for cutting through a fuselage or notching.

  • LMFAO i cant believe he tried to actually use it as a saw!

  • @jraybu09 ....thats what it is in a sense. like all before and even on the video is said. Its used for cutting through aluminium in the old aircraft if the pilot was trapped. I would say that the chunky pommel was also for the same purpose of escape

  • The saw teeth were made for a pilot to hack his way out of a jammed canopy or thru the side of the fuselage if needed. it is a emergency tool, not a fancy custom job. It will take a beating and stay together.

  • you make me nervous watching you use them blades, noob

  • Man you are quite annoying and dont have a clue what you are talking about.

  • where can I get the sog cheap

  • ...persuading...

  • i recommend you study knife terminology because it looks like youre irritating alot of knife-enthusiasts out there...

  • dude those are not saw teeth, its what you call gimping basically grip for your thumb when choking up high on the blade for detail work.

  • @kmurf666 nope its not gimping in this case its an aluminium friction saw for pilot escape

  • Dude... just no. those arent survival knives, they go well with an axe though

  • good demonstrations

  • Please, where can i buy a new or used sheath for my Camillus pilot's survival knife?

  • the back of the camilus is meant for sawing wood. the serrations on the sog pup are pretty much meant for anything but wood. my guess is that the reasoning is thus: a pilot crashing in the wilderness probably wont have much use for sawing sheet metal.

  • the camillus is sorta better but im having trouble choosing

  • the camillus is way better

  • love the pilot knife!!!!

  • Great review. 5*******. I believe that the saw on the Camilus pilot survival knife is designed to cut thru aluminum fuselage in the event that you need to get in or out.

  • HAHA he just got beanie weanies all over his knives

  • SOG all the way!

  • @slinggshot i am a air force SERE speacialist in training, so the cammilus is my brother

  • @thenegev77 I was with the 4th Air Commandos in Vietnam. The Air Force survival knife is a LOT better blade. It's a great all around knife as well as a fighter/survival knife.

  • @slinggshot 7:23 let's see your precious sog do that!

  • @thenegev77 7:05 rather

  • LOL at the side note @ 7:45

  • All these keyboard warriors are knife experts now eh? I think not. 

  • i dont think a notcher is for sawing bro lol!

  • LOL. He's using the notcher as a saw to cut through metal,.... LOL.

  • @cvrivcharles haha shame at your lol. It is a saw by intention IT IS NOT GIMPING! it is a survival knife for pilots with specific purpose of use

  • @adznz11 PMGZ you busted the myth!

    But nah seriously you're flooding the comments trying to teach internet idiots, if you've come to youtube for intelligent conversation, you'll be sorely disappointed

  • @Taud your so right. I dont know what came over me...i guess i just snapped under the share weight of ignorance topped with arrogance. If no one corrects them they tell others who wouldn't know better. This is how idiocy spreads. For instance just on the knife topic yesterday i happened to find a whole lot of people calling a pommel a pomo??? When i confronted one as too why this perversion existed he just said i have seen alot of others call it a pomo so i thought this was right. Dangerous.

  • I don't care for the SOG. I'd much rahter, personal preference have a Camillus AF survival knife.

  • you should not be giving knife reviews. i only say this because you have no fucking clue what you are talking about.

    p.s. learn how to say camillus, i really enjoy that company and dont like you butchering its name.

  • YEAH BUT ITS TOO BAD NIGGERS STINK SO FUCKING MUCH. nice knife by the way

  • and the pommel is located at the heel of the handle..

  • I hate Sogs serrations. Kershaws are probably my favorite...

  • I hate to break it to you man... But one of those knives was designed to be a weapon, not a tool.

    Anybody with any sense can tell which is which.

  • @n0s1r SOG? :-( lol EVERY knife is a weapon. No knife ever made that could cut anything at all couldnt be used rather effectively for cutting people!

  • @ataraxic89 though it is true that technically speaking you can stab or slash somebody with ANY knife, certain knives are designed for it.

    For instance if you were to stab somebody with the Camillus there is a good chance it would get trapped in their clothing or on a bone, or the tip would snap, or the blade would just plain break.

    Conversely, if you were to use the SOG as a tool for any extended period of time you would risk breaking it. Dislodging from the handle seems most likely.

  • @n0s1r ,What?You serious?I read a review of a guy who wanted to take the handle of his Seal 2000 off.Hammering away on it didnt do anything.Go figure.Molden handles are stronger than those in the ESEE or Busse knives where they are screwed or pinned on.The Glock handle doesnt go loose when hammering on it.Look at knifedestruction test Glock 81.Just sayin..And the tip of the camillus breaking when stabbing?You dont stab much do you.People get stabbed with a Mora in Sweden.Go figure..

  • @n0s1r <----keyboard warrior who think hes an expert. LMAO! all knives can be used as tools AND.OR weapons. Nice try

  • Ka-bar is the best

  • That was a great comparisson video. I never heard of the camillus, but I might get it. I'm on a budget for right now and need nothing tooo fancy. The only other two fixed blades I have are a machete and ak47 bayonet.

  • no its a saw ,but its not a conventional saw its made for cutting through plexi glass and the alluminum that planes are made from and you have to use it at a angle plus it only goes one way

  • the seal pup is a tactical knife not survival

  • i would say the Camillus 499 would be the better survival knife but the sog seal pup is more of a mission specific knife

  • Nineteen dollars?!

    Here in Finland SOG Seal PUP is around 100dollars!

  • @verystypidhuman he said 90 but ninteen would be nice haha

  • @Th3Way24 Oh, should't try to undestand something in the midnight...

    Well if I heard right that Camillus is 30 dollars, and it also over 100 dollars here..

  • @verystypidhuman

    499 is 75€ in varusteleka, cheaper in the internet.

  • Your an idiot

  • airplane steel is harder and thicker that a can-- not meant for cans.

  • airplane steel is harder and thicker that a can-- not ment for cans.

  • It's gimping not saw teeth !!!!!!

  • @r3tards0fjuctic3 wrong on this one like so many others, Its an escape saw for aircraft material but as a bonus makes for very good gimping i would suspect. Nice try at trying to sound smart though.

  • I'm glad you wrote that info about the Stainless steel inferior to Carbon steel. I must own 15 stainless steel blades, and they are ALL shit. They can't keep an edge for shit, and are a pain to sharpen. I own one carbon steel knife (Gerber) and I love it, holds an edge great, stays decently sharp even if I don't sharpen for months at a time. I'm definitely looking to add more carbon knives to my collection.

  • "Pursueding"

  • :o you didnt even say bye. :(

  • were did you get the cammillus

  • when you compare the cutting abilities of the two knives, using different types and thicknesses of wood defeats the purpose

  • biast as f***! you clearly had already made your mind up from the beginning!

  • @TheCharliehough well...yeah. that's the point. he's telling you the pros and cons of both and then giving his opinion.

  • I have a suggestion for a knife by SOG. It is the Sogfari 13 or 18 inch machete. It has a saw on the back that is really affected, it has 3 lanyard holes like the gerber LMF infantry to make it in to a spear or a long staff to saw threw branches that you can't reach. The blade is made of stainless steal. It coms with a nylon sheath with a

    plastic insert. KEEP THE VIDEOS COMING!!!!!!

  • good thing the SOG seal can cut through red bull cans, i can never get those damn things open

  • Butt cap.....LOLOLOL....the word you're looking for is pommel.

  • @HalfLifeAMD actually it can be called a but cap.

  • @Chris40679 if they had a hollowed out handle for storing items. These two knives don't have that design feature...Pommel is still the word he's looking for..

  • @HalfLifeAMD w/e

  • @Chris40679 LOLOL..thanks i thought my def. was "well explained" also.

  • @HalfLifeAMD well played, but which would you recommend?

  • @Chris40679 what would i recommend? between these two knives or others?

  • @HalfLifeAMD any knife for survival I guess. Before I end up wasting another bill. please help

  • @Chris40679 sure, IM sent..

  • @HalfLifeAMD its really not that funny

  • @DCOME94 LOL

  • @HalfLifeAMD no, pommels arent movable. Its a cap for the follow space, at the butt of the knife

  • @ataraxic89 read my previous posts..

  • @HalfLifeAMD sounds like a sex toy lol "butt cap"

  • @HalfLifeAMD thank you sir

  • @HalfLifeAMD Or "ass-end"

  • the ridges on the back of the camillus knife is to cause more pain when going into a body, i'd get a new one w/o the ridges...people used to get excuted just for having one by any military during WW2 especially

  • I don't like either of these. My edc is a big bowie fixed blade. No serrations, then a couple of folders, one tanto with serrations, and another one that cost more than either of those, and I don't particularly like, though I think it'd make a good throwing kinfe. Clip point style.

  • Then also a small vise grips that I can use for many things, like an improv hammer, or gripping things, also wiire cutter. Would like to weld a big chain link onto the butt end of that. So I can tighten it up like tin knockers do (yeah, I used to be a tin knocker. That's how I learned that little trick. You do that so you can tighten up the vise grips more after you close them). But if I had to choose, Id go with the SOG.

  • well first the sog does not have saw thats a serated blade not a saw second the saw on the 499 is a file for notching maybe at best. and third to different eras of technology lol.

  • Where did you get the Ontario 499 for 30$? on Ebay, it's like 50$ WITHOUT shipping!!!! OUTRAGEOUS!!!!! lol

  • the sog blade is époxy coated ?

  • the back of that blade is not a saw its just for grip

  • is this how you use you knives?

  • @daboodeef179 if it is, then he doesn't deserve to have them

  • CIA SOG unit during vietnam used the Pilot Survival knife

  • both beautiful

  • that is not a saw. it is anotching tool for making traps...

  • @joedacop otherwise called a saw.

  • @joedacop and making fires!

  • @joedacop no it aint bud. its for aircraft aluminum. so says the design

  • @joedacop

    thank you, it is also used for emergency use of cutting through your restraining devices (seat belts), but like i said, only for emergency use, because it does take a while.

  • @joedacop That is a great survival use for it, but it is actually used to allow a downed pilot to be able to cut through plane fuselage and escape the plane.

  • @joedacop it is a saw why the fuck would an air force pilot carry a knife for making traps (unless stranded) its used to cut through airplane fuselages

  • @joedacop your annotching tool is in fact a saw for fiber glass on planes and choppers

  • Im getting the Ontario 499 USAF Looking foward to testing it out

  • RedBull! 

  • Ah, lucky. In Toronto the cheapest I can find a 499 is $70.

  • ... persuading

  • oh god, i hate to see knives being abused =( but hey, atleast its informative.

  • Why did you make sure not to use the serrations on the seal pup when cutting rope? The whole point of them is for better ability to cut cordage. Also you thing you didn't mention the camilluus was designed for the air force, the seal pup is a smaller version of a knife designed for the navy. The seal pup is my favorite knife for my kayak. I never have to worry about it rusting, even after spending all day in salt water.

  • the only modern knife who cann challenge the camilluus is the wild-tactic of wildsteer

  • I went through the Air Force air crew survival course and we were told to hold the saw blade at an angle when cutting. The saw was not designed to be used on the flat (top) side as you demonstrated. Try turning it so the side contacts the material at an angle and you will get better results. The teeth are also spaced so they can be used to create sparks from a magnesium fire starter. Thanks for the gret vid.

  • great video , no can opener no problem !

  • hey a question is the SOg legal or i eman u can use it outdoor ? not sure thats why im asking...

  • @MrLOCUST7 Every place has different laws, you will have to look up what is legal in your state and any town you may be in.
