let's get started talking about the long awaited be ss5 before we get into it let's talk a little bit about how it came to fruition and yuno gasai furred from survived NAS I have been friends for a very long time I think since 2012 and been up seen him a few times.

Whenever his old shop in Gettysburg my wife is about 20 minutes grew up 20 minutes outside of that area so grew up in that area too so we'd go there quite a bit anyhow a few years back guy came out with the 4.7 and this was a pre-production sample he sent to me and along with a good bit other people and.

As soon as I got immediately said man I love this knife I must play my favorite thus far and this has been my favorite and I told him I said hey there's just a few things like you could tweak on them on this knife it would be the my favorite knife of all time and so you know later on he got connected with millet knives and you.

Know their major production company and he reached out said Amen millet can produce this knife the his design and kind of just add a few of the things that I wanted and he said we can come out with a knife and so what we do is come out with the BSS five and if you look at it it's just a little bit larger because I wanted a five inch blade it's.

A little bit larger a little bit more handle material cause I want a little bit more handle material and I wanted g10 grips versus uh you know micarta and so we got CPM 3v here Peters heat-treated I got micro textured g10 handles it's got at an inner layer and an outer outside all of this kind of like black Scout color combo we always.

Use that color combination or favorite color combo the other thing is is that we wanted this kind of stonewashed tight finish so very good-looking finish and that back very open lanyard hole hidden linear hole the other thing we wanted was a bow drill divot so we could do a fire craft if you need to in a situation where you know you're in a survival.

Situation and you may come down to that's all you have and you know that bow drill socket is the most difficult thing in my opinion to get correctly to get a fire started so if you take that an equation there it is one time I was doing a demo had a blade show a few years ago and my divot messed up and I didn't have any.

Other one but I had my knife and I used skills to survive knives I think 77 and I was there we get a friction fire I had like freakin 200 people looking at me I pulled my knife out in uses so I mean that was just a situation worse one survival but having that there is good now this one is a steel insert this kkona kkona core shaped we went this is.

The second run we perfected it guys definitely perfectionist and he you know sent me the first one and I thought it was great but he said man I can make this better and you know the guys him and Millett made that happen so this beautiful Massa stuff the saint finishes the knife and then the machining of the hardware is amazing it's just beautiful.

You know this is a beautiful piece you know guys design and millets you know manufacturing and guys oversight they did a phenomenal job you know I'm very impressed with this you know I I've always said to survive is my favorite knives they make the best knives and the reason why I never designed the knife is because I couldn't.

Do better than what survived dies that's always been my opinion so like I told guy that a long time ago I was like all these guys want to make knives and just get her name on it you know I told him I said I never wanted designed a knife you know it's just somebody like you that's really good at it.

I'd rather use your knife you know so basically this is you know his design just a few things that I wanted on his knives and that this is at the VSS five and that's gonna be offered by us we've got a first production so the first Russian run has first production run on them on the knife and you can go ahead and pick these up in the store today.

They might only last a few minutes but this is going to be a mainstay of hope in our product line you know we'll hopefully continue running them as well as other size models I'm hoping in the future anyhow guys hope you enjoyed it and I hope you enjoy this knife and you guys have to get one let me know the feedback it will come with a fold over.

Taco style coyote sheath because that's my favorite color combination as well as this belt clip that can also run along Molly our pals webbing anyhow guys that is in the BS s5 let me know what you think and the link will be below for a website and as always next watching apply survival.
