I'm very familiar with Martin knives. they make some very solid blades. I love the bushcraft tactical. they make some very quality stuff. their sheaths are also top notch and set up to carry sharping stones, fire steel ect. very neat stuff. made in America too.

Mission knives I'm only familiar with the TI version and it was a really neat dive knife type deal or EOD blade with no metallic signature. that's where I saw them used most was over in Iraq and Afghanistan. A lot of the EOD cats used them daily. I never used the A2 version but the TI knife was a pain in the butt to sharpen and it was never super sharp. but that wasn't it's purpose.

I've seen a few knives that cost more than a "decent" gun.

Lol que non knife people don't understand that. It's hard for them to grasp until they have used and fully understand the difference in materials and quality. He even admitted he is a gun guy and doesn't know much about knives. It's hard for gun guys to spend that much on a knife when they know they could own a gun for the same amount.

Yeah, I definitely understand that, Grunt. However, a knife is arguably just as important in an EDC package as a gun and flashlight. It's no knock on anyone and that's why these videos are helpful; they let us see where we all can do better.

Pretty cool, I like that he is getting his viewers to think about knives and the cost of a good one. Even if he doesn't completely understand it himself, at least he is showing the need and willingness to learn, and be ready for the fight!

I have seen some of the mission knives and they are impressive to be sure. I had heard of Martin knives but have never seen any before. The martin they showed in the video seems to be one heck of a chopper though.

lol no arguments on that here. I think a knife is probably my most used piece of EDC kit. you won't catch me with out 1 or realistically 3 I wasn't knocking the video at all just letting non knife guys know where his mindset was at for the cost of knives.
