This is the open, L, carbon steel and it’s the number seven it’s made of beechwood and, of course, like I mentioned, the blade is carbon steel. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to do a carbon steel blade or if I wanted to do a stainless steel, and I opted to get both this one. I got locally because it was available and this is the number seven and then I also recently got it still in the box, but I thought I’d show that as well.
I got this off of Amazon. This is a number eight and this is done in olive wood, so open that up just a little off camera here and I’ll show you the difference in size and the difference in wood. Here we go so this is the unit move that down and it’s done in a stainless steel blade and it’s done in olive wood, and this would be the number eight which is always labeled there on the rim. Now, on this little locking mechanism, it’s really interesting knife.
So if they didn’t have this locking mechanism, I’m just going to turn this back to Center this one’s a bit tight, then it would just be up-and-down, and originally the knives from opinel were like that they were just a nice piece of wood. You would open up the blade, I mean notice, I’m doing this with two hands, because this one’s quite stiff, this would be it. The blade would stay open when you’re pushing applying pressure on it.
Obviously it wouldn’t go back down, but there would be a chance that it could end up opening up in your pocket, and so I’m assuming just with that in mind and I believe around world war ii opinel invented this little lock ring. And this allows you to turn the ring right there, as I just did, which will lock the blade from opening and if you have it opened it will then lock the blade from closing and i’ve seen a lot of articles out.
There were people put in. Quite a lot of pressure downwards on this to try to force that – and this does a really good job. This locking locking does really a job. So here we can say the blade of the olive wood. It says in ox which I believe in French is translated to like na trustable in aqsa dibala. I may be wrong, so excuse my friendship. I honk it is a nice nice, somewhat shiny, blade. I’ve heard a few things about the the difference between the blades.
So I’m going to leave this open with the olive wood and I’ll open up the number seven besides a size. That’s why I wasn’t sure which blade to go with and or I wasn’t sure which steel to go with, and then this is the number seven. This one is the number eight. This is a standard model here. This is beech. Wood, like I said this is olive wood. The beech wood comes quite standard with the base models, and these are not.
These are quite reasonable. This one particular one, I believe, is about twelve dollars and maybe less on some stores cost me about twelve dollars plus tax. This one was closer to twenty, because the carbon steel requires a little bit more maintenance. Some people aren’t really fancy to it. The stainless steel doesn’t require it won’t rust, whereas the carbon steel could potentially rust. So there are a lot of youtubers that will put some form of acid on the blade to force a patina, and if you don’t do that as long as you like make sure that it’s not in a moist setting it’s it’s staying dry, then over time.
It will develop its own patina, which can be really nice. The other really nice thing about carbon steel and I readed another YouTube article and if I remember the name I’ll put it up in a little box at the top here. But they were talking about how they like their the the flat edge at the back. And I’m going to close the knife, so I can show you with the knife, closed and locked, there’s this flat edge here and you could use that.
Let me just make sure it’s in focus. You could use that against a striking pad of some sorts, a flint per se, to start a fire where it’s a stainless steel. You wouldn’t be able to do that, so that can be really nice if you were taking this out camping. I also, if I’m honest with you for EDC I’ve had these for about a week now, both of them I’ve carried the carbon. I got this one first, so this one less than a week, but but for the most part a week for both I’ve carried this one for a few days in my pocket and I’ve carried the number eight, this number seven fits perfectly in my pocket.
It disappears. I don’t notice it. I’ve used it to go down and open up some parcels that have arrived. I’ve taken it with me to open up other forms. I’ve had to cut some other things randomly, and this has been great. There have no problems with it. Like I said, it’s super lightweight disappears in the pocket now the number 8, though I think the number 8 fits my hand a little bit better. It’s just it’s almost the perfect size for the hand and the blade length is really nice with it.
It’s because they obviously take it and scale it up. The wood is quite the circumference of the wood is quite a lot bigger, and this means that there’s a bulge in the pocket. So I don’t. I don’t like this much as much in my pocket as I do like the the number 7, so you can see in my pocket. I don’t have these technically together in my pocket. I may have it with my lip job. There’s some burpees! That’s about half the size, so comparing it with the number 8, then I could take the number 8 out now I’ll.
Take this one out place it. You can see that it is much taller right, but it’s more the circumference! I don’t know if I can put these on top of the circumference of the knife is bigger. Now between the Steel’s, I’m really fancying the carbon steel. I like things a patina. I like the fact that it has a few other purposes that you could use it for, especially for EDC and for camping reasons, and I think I like the fact that the number 7 is a little easier to carrier carry.
I wish that the carbon steel was offered with different woods. That’s my wish. I really like this olive wood. I, like the walnut out there, there’s lots of different wood options. You can choose, but carbon steel is only offered from my understanding right now on opinel. It’s only offered on the beech wood and it’s a standard blade, which means it is the base model and then, of course, these things can go up as high as like few hundred dollars, depending on that not necessarily the type of stainless steel, but whether it’s polished And the type of wood you can get wood all the way from Africa, olive wood from the Mediterranean.
You can get oak dark oak lots of things. You can even get a blade. That’s black, like a black stainless steel blade. So those are those knives. My first impression is I like them. I think these things are great, like I said, really lightweight both of them. Obviously, the heavier models will go up. The wood mate depending up you won’t go with a stainless steel. Knee just ride, decide to change the wood.
The wood may be a little denser than other woods, but both of these woods are quite light. They fit really nice in the hands. I like them, locking mechanism when it’s locked the blades not going to go anywhere. I will say that the carbon steel came out of the box with a super-sharp and it’s it’s still ridiculously sharp and the seal is still not so much, and I’ve heard other viewers talk about that as well.
Like I said, these are very reasonably priced. Any of these would be fine. I’m heard lots of viewers that have had a stainless steel for years and then just decided hobby wise to go to carbon. I think I’m most likely going to stick with this more as an EDC. I may or might not keep this or may or just put in my camping kit or may even give it to a friend as a gift, because they’re quite reasonable.
If you have any questions about open all knives, I’m going to put some links for both of these in the descriptions below both of those links are where I purchased the knives. So you can follow those I’ll put something up, put a link for the actual website of opinel, so you can look through there. The knife I’d like to get is the gardener’s knife, which has a nice rounding handle on it, but the one thing that I would like to see it again as I’d like to see if it if it eventually came with a carbon blade from so I’m going To show you in the package that first came with this says Boy Scouts of Canada, and it looks like this is like a bench and leather, because it’s slowly fading.
I’ve used it for these last couple years. Camping and it’s been great, but it was a little whiter prior to me using it and if I take it out of its sheath and just move that to the side. This is the knife here, so it came with this original string there. It says Boy Scouts of Canada that it that is, and it ends up focusing. It’s got some brass, I believe, on the sides here, some brass rivets looks like it’s a stainless steel.
You can see some patina on the knife and a nice hole. It is quite heavy, especially after carrying the opinel knives. As far as the knife goes, we’ve got a knife section. This is going to be a longer knife than the open, L and I’ll try to lower that down. I don’t know much about knives to talk about like the belly and all that or the blade or the or where the edges is I’m just I’m new to all of this thumb things I was just doing some research to get a knife that would be to Replace this for weight reasons, but also to replace this, because it’s not holding an edge very well.
You can see it’s stainless steel made in China, so I don’t know if that’s talking about the quality of this, like I said it’s a boyscout blade, it does lock. The locking mechanism is down here. You can push on the locking mechanism and then it folds back in, and it also has a saw so I’ll – show you that so I was a little stiffer to get out. There’s your saw bottle opener and a flathead screwdriver.
In the end I have used the saw when I was boy scouting to do a couple fires and to chop down some specific kind of wood and again it locks as well. So you push would have to push the lock and then you could pull the back in and that’s it. I comes with a nice sheath there. It is in comparison to size to the open Elle’s. We can just put them on the ends there and you can see this is the biggest knife here.
That’s my knife collection. I wish I wouldn’t have got these if this would have held an edge to be honest with you just because the history also my grandpa’s knife somewhere. It’s a foldable knife like a Swiss Army knife, if I find it out I’ll do another article, but if anybody out there knows information on this type, if this was mass-produced or knows anything about the type of knife it is. I love.
Let me know in the comments below some information or put put send this article to someone specific and we can get in touch just because I really like the knife and I’d like to learn more about it. And potentially I’d like to keep this. For a long time, in the meantime, I’m most likely going to keep the seven I find that easier in the pocket, and I really like the carbon blade, there’s nothing wrong with the stainless steel blade.
It’s just that it requires obviously a bit more work here to sharpen it. I really like the wood, and I wanted to check out a number eight number eight. By the way, going back is probably the most popular size that’s been ever sold by opinel. It was considered just the perfect size for people’s hands. Number eight or number seven would be for smaller hands, but for a lot of this lightweight EDC carry in your pocket with less things.
This is really nice. I do agree, though this feels a little bit more comfortable in the hand. If you got any questions, any comments please leave them below and if you’re new to my blog feel free to subscribe, like the article give it a thumbs up, you
Knives and daggers are awesome! Plain and simple, right? Let me say, I enjoy my dagger collection with a little music playing in the background.
I have recently been involved in quite a few discussions and visual things on knives, and I want to put this in the basic series so that people understand why I choose the types of nice that I choose.
Why. I think that some knives are more favorable over other knives and then also I want to talk to you about things that you see on the internet, about different knives, and one thing that I want you to understand right off. The bat is, if you are reading a review of any piece of gear, it doesn’t matter whether it is a knife or what it is. If you’re reading a review, somebody saying I’m going to review this piece of equipment.
First of all, look at what conditioning equipments in if it’s brand new chances are they’ve, never used it. How can they review it? Number two look at that person’s overall skill level. Have you readed any of their other articles to see what their skill level is? As a woodsman as a bushcrafter as a survivalist, and that would lead you to believe either hey this guy knows a little bit about what he’s talking about or maybe not so much and that’s what you need to understand.
I see a lot of reviews on YouTube and I don’t read many because a lot of times I’d flat turn them off I’ll, be honest with you fi. If I pull up a article, let’s just take a knife review. For instance, if I pull a knife review up on YouTube and the knife looks brand new, I generally shut the article off if it’s laying on a table and it’s not in the woods or the guy’s, not using it to do something with and he’s just talking About the knife, I generally turn it off.
The other thing is, I look to see what the guy’s skill level is, while he’s using that knife, if he’s using it – and I will tell you now that if you take the crappiest bud, K knife on the planet and you put a good sharp edge on It and you take a nice Mora that cost 20 bucks and you put a good edge on it and you take any given knife that meets the criteria that we’re going to talk about, and you sharpen that thing up.
It doesn’t matter if it cost three or four hundred dollars. If you put all three of those knives in the hands of more Skowronski he’s going to make every one of them look like a knife. You’d want to buy because his skill level and his expertise at fine carving and things like that are so precise and so good and so well, honed that he makes it look natural, no matter what he’s using the deal with. On the other hand, if you take that same set of knives – and you put them in the hands of someone of lesser skill level, much less skill level, it doesn’t matter how good the knife is they’re going to make that knife look bad and it could look Like something you don’t want to buy, even if it might be something, that’s very good.
So I want you to think about those things when you’re looking at articles of a knife reviews and things like that, because some of what we’re going to do today is going to be talking about knives right in front of you. Some of its going to be we’re going to demonstrate some things with the knives pros and cons of the different knives. One thing that you will never see me do with a knife and it’s another thing that I turn it completely off as soon as I see it in a article is you’ll, never see me, take a 5 or 6 inch blade and chop with it.
There’s absolutely! No reason to chop with a knife: that’s not meant for chopping! If you want a chopping knife, get a machete get a Chris Kane survival tool, get a goal lock get a poor wrong, get a kakari, get something that’s made for chopping and processing, wood or vines or bamboo or whatever the case may be, but don’t use a 5 6 inch knife to smack around and try to chop with and make excuses that the handle is not long enough or that you need to move it up and choke back and put a lanyard on it.
So you don’t let go of it and get more leverage on the blade. That’s bunk, okay, you should never have to chop with a knife. That’s not made to chop with that. Knife should be used to baton through material or to push through material by using different types of cuts, not swung like some kind of axe or a machete. That’s what you want! That’s what you buy! That’s the next thing that we need to talk about in this article is understand before you buy a knife.
What is that knife going to do for me versus what do I want that knife to do for me and I get a lot of questions from a lot of people about you know: what’s the best survival knife out there? Well, the patented answer to that is the one you have on you in a survival scenario, but that leads you right back to that’s, probably the knife you bought to begin with. So did you buy the right knife and when I look at that, what I want to tell you is, I look at any knife that I’m going to strap to my hip on a daily basis as a survival knife, because chances are that’s the knife I’m going To get stuck with in an emergency because I put it on my hip every single day and I’m not going to lose it so with that said, I need to make sure that whatever knife I’m going to select a carry every day is going to be a Knife that is multifunctional in an emergency scenario.
It doesn’t necessarily have to be a chopper, because a big chopper is not going to be good at fine carving. It doesn’t necessarily have to be great at fine carving, because it’s not going to be very good for batana processing would necessarily it has to be capable of a lot of things. It has to be capable of processing game. It has to be capable of processing wood. It has to be capable of the fine carving, but it also has to be capable of making bigger logs smaller pieces so that you can create things like pencil sized sticks from a 4-inch log.
If you have to or just split things out when you absolutely have to so that knife has to do a lot of things for you and has to cover a lot of bases, if you go back to my article on knives of the frontier or you know, The kind of history of knives that have been used throughout time you’ll see that really the most common denominator is about a five to six inch blade, at least in the United States, about a five to six inch blade and some type of a butcher knife design.
Either a European butchering knife or an Americanized version of a butchery knife or a French version of the butchering knife and those type blade designs, lend themselves well to a lot of different things for the woodsman. That’s why they use them. That’s why they were around four to three hundred years. That’s the reason. Some of them are still made today so understand what you want to do with that knife.
It’s a back up knife that you’re buying you’re going to put your backpack. Then maybe it doesn’t have to be that perfect knife. That’s going to do everything, maybe you’re buying a backup knife only for you know the trap line you’re going to make your money cuts with and you’re going to keep that thing. Razor sharp and it’s going to be a perfect blade for you to make those precision cuts that you have to make not to mess up a fur on an animal, or maybe it’s going to be your bush crafting knife that you’re going to put in your in Your backpack and you’re going to keep that thing with you to do your fine, carving and making feather sticks and doing those little fancy things that we do in bushcraft, but does that lend itself to a good survival knife? Maybe yes, maybe no depends on if it meets the criteria that you decided needs to meet for me.
I have certain criteria that I look at in a knife and we’ll talk about that right now, okay, so let’s get started on our knife discussion here a little bit and let’s talk about it, I’ve got a table or a bench of knives here. Basically, that are all knives that I have personally used over and over and over and over none of these knives are brand new. All of these knives have been tested thoroughly in a wilderness environment for a lot of different tasks.
So I can tell you, I feel confident that I can tell you what the pros and cons are of these type knives. Now the first thing that you need to think about when you’re selecting a knife is again back to what is that knife going to do for me versus what do I want it to do for me so for the sake of this discussion, because we’re talking about Basic concepts: let’s talk about this is the knife I’m going to strap to my tip, and this is the knife that I’m probably going to end up with.
If everything goes bad, I lose all of my gear that knife is going to be shot to my hip and it’s going to be my only tool that I have to use to affect my survivability and there is a big difference between that and a bushcraft knife That you carry in your pack as a spare where you put it around your neck or where the case may be totally against putting knives around my neck, but that’s beside the point: okay, so blade thickness.
That is your first key element to me. A knife that’s going to be used for a multitude of tasks needs to be 3/16 of an inch thick at a minimum. I do carry knives personally that are only 1/8 of an inch thick. This three dollar butcher knife from a yard sale is only a little over an eighth of an inch thick. It’s not quite 3/16. So if I had to measure it, you know it’s right in between there, but it doesn’t quite meet my minimum standard.
Although I’ve used this knife for everything under the Sun, so I’m pretty confident that in its ability to sustain me, it needs be this butcher. Knife is 3/16. This is the habilis Pathfinder butcher knife it’s 3/16, so 3/16 is a good thickness to start out with now. Let’s talk about why not at 8:10, it’s okay! Because generally what you’ll find is most knives will be 1/8 inch 3/16 and then quarter inch 1/8 inch.
Knife is going to have a lot of flexibility in it if the metal is tempered correctly and it may Bend on you or snap on you, depending on again the temper of the knife. I’ve never broken an old hickory butcher knife and they’re eighth of an inch thick. So an eighth of an inch knife can do the job for you, but it’s not going to be near as rigid or good for prying. If you have to do things like that, that’s 3/16, so there’s a little bit of a trade-off there.
I would say my personal opinion is 3/16 for beginning knife, though it’s going to be the one night that you buy to keep on your hip, and this is where you’re going to put all your eggs. Okay, in my opinion again, this is just my opinion. Your knife should be your most expensive item in your kit for the most part, or you should have the majority of your budget set aside for your knife, because that’s what you’re really going to stake your life on with that knife, you can’t do everything else.
If you have to as long as you have the skill level now remember during this article, there’s I’m not talking bad about any knife makers, I’m not talking about about any people who review knives on TV on on YouTube or use knives on TV. All I’m saying to you is: these: are my standards? These are the knives that I choose, and this is why you can make your own decision from what we’re talking about once we get beyond the thickness of the blade, then we need to talk about.
The tang is a full, tang, absolutely necessary. In other words, is it one piece of solid metal that the scales are both the two on both sides? Almost all of these knives, all of these knives are full tang, the knives I have over here or not again. I go back to if I’m going to get stuck with this one, and I have no other tools. I may have to do things like prying, hitting hard on the back of the spine, with a baton of some sort to process firewood.
All those types of things lend themselves to a weakness in a rat tail Tang knife, because it’s smaller, it’s not like that rat tail, tangs the same thickness, the 9 and 3/4. The way back to handle, generally speaking, a rat tail tang knife is exactly that. It shrinks down to a rat tail and then goes back into the knife, so that is a weak point in the overall structure of that knife. That could compromise you in a real emergency situation.
So I choose again: I choose to always carry a full tang knife on my hip and that’s my personal opinion. So all of these knives are full tang. Now, backup knife could definitely be a non full tang knife, and most of my backup knives generally are non full tang. We’ll talk about that in a few minutes. The next thing that I want to know on this knife is – and here again this is the these. Some of these things are kind of go no-go for me.
I can live with eight-inch if I have to I’d rather have 3/16, but there’s certain aspects of that night that I can’t live without or I’m not willing to do without. One of them is that that knife has a very sharp a 90-degree spine on it, so that it will effectively remove material from a ferrocerium rod, and there is a big misconception out there about ferrocerium rods and knives. Most of the time, if you’re having problems striking your Ferro rod, it’s not the rod, it’s the knife.
So what I’m going to do is I’m going to take a couple random knives here for you, I’ve got several different feral rods from cheap $ 5 Ferro rods. All the way up to $ 50 Ferro rods and we’re going to strike them with a knife and you’re going to see that, for the most part, they’re the same. Ok, so what we got here is we have a variety of ferrocerium rods. This rod is just a cheap rod, probably off of our website and the handle of been yanked off of it.
It’s been wrapped in duct tape. To give me a good heavy-duty handle most of the feral rods that you’re going to buy – and I say most not all most of the feral rods are going to buy. The handles are going to come off of them eventually sooner or later anyway. So I just take mine off on these cheaper ones and I wrap them in duct tape, so I’ve got an element of fire wrapped around it. An emergency plus I have this.
This duct tape is for no other use except a handle or fire. I carry duct tape, my kit for other things. On this side, I have arrived from Canton shop, comm, Rob Simpson spare rod, I’m very fond of these they’re good feral rods, they’re a little bit more expensive than wrapped in the leather. I think they come from deeply handcraft, I’m not sure that and they’re very good, fair rod to stick inside your knife sheet.
That’s what you like to do. This is a cheapie like a Coghlan model, ferrocerium rod. This is the Bob spark from fire. Steels calm. This rod is just a long blank fire rod that was made by one of my instructors, that has a copper, butt, end glued or epoxy Don and pinned in that’s filled with lead on the backside. So they can be used for a Bopper for napping, whether it’s for your flintlock or whether it’s for making arrowheads out of glass or flint, whatever the case may be.
It also gives you a good handle to hold on to and a large striking surface to remove material into your tinder bundle again. Cost difference is a lot here. You’re talking this one in this one are probably five bucks or less this one’s around 2025. This one’s around 2025 – I believe these things are around 40 50 bucks, so you’ve got a big difference there, but the bigger the rod is the longer it’s going to last.
A lot of guys ask me about this blocks of magnesium, with a little bitty rod going across the top of them. Those things are useless, in my opinion, you’re going to wear that rod out long before you ever get rid of that magnesium, and most all of your ferrocerium rods have a heavy content of magnesium in them. Already that’s going to burn if you can’t remove the material with your blade, that’s the important thing: it’s generally, not the Ferro rod that causes you the problems, it’s the blade.
Okay, I’m going to use a couple of different knives to do this stuff with first one. I’m going to use is the Pathfinder knife. This is made by blind or snobs. It’s called the PLS k1. The Scandinavian grind 3/16 own inch a little over a five-inch blade. This one happens to have curly maple handles on it. It has a good, sharp, 90 degree spine. So let’s try this one. First on just a cheapy rod. Now, that’s just as cheap II $ 5 rod.
Here’s the cheapy one off my website! You can see it’s removing enough materials! Hang it up on the back of the knife. Even here is the gob spark. Okay, canteen shop comm got to get the coating off of it. Okay. Now I’m going to show you what just happened here. The cap just came off of this. The leather coiled cap. Just came off of this. I’ve never seen that happen to one of these fair rods. Before that it goes right back to what I was telling you almost any fair rod you buy.
The cap is going to come off of it unless it’s pin through it’s going to come off, just wrap it with tape and go on and don’t worry about it. If you’re looking for something fancy, looking do yourself a favor make sure you got some duct tape with you when you get done here is the large barrel rod again, we’ve got to get the coating off of it once we get the coating off of it. It shouldn’t take a whole lot of effort when you do this.
If your knife is good 90-degree spine on it, it won’t take much effort, so you can see that all of those barrel rods will work just fine with that knife. Okay, this is the more of bushcraft black. We haven’t talked about this knife, yet it’s not a full tang knife. It is high carbon steel, which means it’s going to rust. If you don’t take care of it, but it’s going to be easier to sharpen in the field than stainless.
I prefer a high carbon we’ll talk about that a little bit in Y on our next exercise. But let’s look at what this will do and again it has that good 90-degree spine. So, let’s start with our cheap e Ferro rod here, pretty good the other cheap e Ferro rod, pretty good gob sport real good, the long heavy-duty one real good, the canteen shop. Pretty good! Ok, so you can see that as long as we have a good 90 degree, spine doesn’t really matter whether the knife cost 30 or 40.
Bucks like this one, we’re close to $ 300, like the Pathfinder knife, they’re going to do what you need them to do with the Ferro rod and that’s the important characteristic to understand. Will this knife be good for striking a ferrocerium rod every time I see someone take their knife and strike their ferrocerium rod with the blade of their knife? I know that person doesn’t know what they’re doing, because I’m never going to sacrifice my knife blade to strike a Ferro rod.
I can always use the back of this or I can find something else. If I can’t do that, but I’m never going to sacrifice my blade, this area of your blade from here to here from this curve back, is going to do. Two-Thirds of everything you do with this knife will take place right here. We’ll talk about that. A little bit too ok, so that gives us a pretty good look at one of the things that we want, our not to be capable of which is striking our ferrocerium rod.
A ferrocerium rod, in my opinion, is the most reliable fire-starting device you can possibly have in an emergency scenario. Matches are a one-shot deal, lighters run out of fluid and get wet all of those types of things. You need to concentrate your efforts on understanding how to use a Ferro rod with lots of different tenders, because a Ferro rod there is a very, very hot spark that will light up a lot of tender and it works even when it’s wet get yourself as big.
A Ferro rod as you can find that you can afford in the long run and carry that with you as your main ferrocerium rod. Alright. Moving on the next thing that we want to look at is the steel that this knife is made out of everything that I do with this knife has to be a multifunctional deal. Obviously, I can do a lot of things at this knife as far as making other things, and that makes it multifunctional, but it also needs to be part of my kit as far as being useful for at least three, I need to be able to start fire With this thing, as one of those chores or duties of my knife, and by scraping that ferrocerium rod that takes care of that element, but I would also like for my knife to be able to throw sparks from a hard rock in case.
I would lose my ferrocerium rod for some reason and all I’m left with is this knife if I can get a fire built somehow, because I made a bow drill set with my knife, I don’t want to have to go through that hassle, the second time. So if I can make char cloth in that first fire thinking ahead to my next fire and I can find a nice hard rock, I can use that to create an ember, then put in a bird nest and forego the whole bow drill.
Action on the next fire, so I want this knife to be made out of high carbon steel so that it will throw sparks off of the spine with a hardrock high carbon Steel’s. Oh one tool: steel 1095, while the Condor knives are made out of a 10 65 1070, not really enough carbon in them to throw a good spark. You see, there’s no Condor knives on this table, not because I’ve never used one, but because it’s not a knife that I would carry all of the time.
So if you’re going to ask me about other knives – and you don’t see it on this table – it’s because I either haven’t carried it, don’t carry it or I have carried it and don’t like it and don’t carry it anymore. These are the knives that I trust. Okay, so let’s talk about striking sparks with the back of our knife. So again, what we’re trying to accomplish here is turning our knife into an ignition source and we can do that as long as we have that high carbon steel blade.
So, let’s pick up, first of all, we’ll just pick up this butcher knife, what I’m going to do with my knives when I’ve decided I’m going to buy one. Is I’m going to do this first that thing’s throwing sparks I’m a happy camper? Now I know I got a good high carbon steel blade for sure. Even if I have no idea what this thing’s made out of yardsale three dollar butcher knife looks like carbon steel, it’s rusting up.
It’s got some patina to it. Let me take a rock to it: okay, now, I’m in business, does it have a good 90-degree spine on it yep now in double business. This is the right thickness. It’s pretty close as I got a good nice five to six inch blade on it yep. Okay now want that knife. That’s my factors now any knife that you have that’s high carbon steel and will, in fact, what we’ll do is we’ll get another cheaper type knife out here.
We’ll look at this more on bushcraft black again: does it throw sparks? Yes, it does okay. Is it throwing them as good as the butcher knife, not quite, but that could just be because the blade is like blue and not all this wore off yet, but I know this will start. It will create ignition with char cloth because I’ve done it. So if I have a high carbon steel blade, I’m going to be able to affect cognition that way and I’ll show you how to do that right now, up close, hang tight guys! Okay, so I have a charring 10 here.
It’s got some char cloth in it right here, so we’ll pull that piece of char cloth out and that’s what we’re going to use for this demonstration now, if I’m trying to strike sparks up my knife, there’s a couple ways you can do this, you can hold The knife blade like this and strike it against the rock. Exactly like you would do a striker, but I don’t like that method very well, because I’ve got my knife blade toward my hand.
If something were to slip, I could cut myself if I have to wrap something around the blade. I may not get a good grip on it, so I would rather strike down on the blade to the charred material. So we’ll pull a piece of this charred material off of here and lay it to the side. Real quick just like this, and what I like to do is lay that thing out and get as much surface area exposed as I can to catch my sparks and then kind of tack it down with my knife.
Just like this now I’ll lean my knife backwards. Just a little bit and I’ll strike sparks on to the char cloth, just like that. Okay, that out now, let’s look at the three hollered butcher knife. We’ll do the same thing. Get it out here, pin it down with the blade hold on the handle, push them down; okay, we’re on a fire all right. Now, let’s look at the pathfinder Scout bigger than the Pathfinder pls k, one larger in blade, size and blade length.
This is a six inch blade, it’s a little bit wider and so now the full flat grind, but it does have that 90-degree spine. It is three sixteenths, it’s just a little bigger more of a French trade or butcher knife style design. Alright sparks is going right by here. Here we go. Okay, we got a char cloth on fire, so you can see that a $ 40 knife will do it. A three dollar knife will do it. A $ 200 knife will do it.
It doesn’t matter how much the knife costs it matters, what the physical characteristics and capabilities are of that knife. Okay, so what I want to do now, real quick is: I want to kind to kind of go through some knives with you guys. One at a time show you knives that I trust doesn’t mean that there’s other knives on the market that aren’t good. But again, if you’re going to ask me what I think of this of that.
If you didn’t see in this article, that should give you an indication of what I think about it means I don’t carry it. Alright. Anything by blind horse knives is going to be bone. Anything by hapless bush tools is going to be a good knife. Anything by Moore is going to be a good knife, but it’s not going to meet all of the criteria that we talked about. Some of them are not high carbon they’re stainless, and none of them are full tang.
Alright. So, let’s start off with the Morris. The Mora bushcraft block is by far my favorite. It’s got a nice blue blade. It’s got a three quarter: tang nice comfortable, rubber over plastic handle here high carbon steel, blade, good 90-degree spine the blade on it’s almost a little over four inches long, and for me you know the minimum is about five. But again this is not going to be. My main knife, so it doesn’t have to be five inches.
This is another more. This is the Mora companion, another good knife about half a little over tang, maybe 3/4 rubber over plastic handle. You can see the blades a little bit less robust than the bushcraft block. It’s a little bit shorter, it’s not not as wide and it’s about the same, not quite the same thickness. So this is a heavier knife than this one, but does not cost more than this one. Both of them will do the job.
A knife. I’ve been carrying a lot lately as a backup or carving type knife or bushcrafting is this martini, and this was given to me by one of my instructors: solid rubber handle three quarter inch tang molded over. It’s got a really nice 90-degree spine on it. It’s good and thick it’s over 8 of an inch. It might be close to 3/16 Scandinavian grande. It’s a very short blade. It’s only a little, it’s a little less than 4 inches.
I think so. It’s not going to be a main night for me, but it is a great backup, skinning carving and crafting knife for my pack. This is the habilis butcher knife and this knife was designed directly after this knife. This is a three dollar butcher knife from a yard sale. This is the habilis butcher knife. It was designed and made directly to mimic this knife because we knew there’d never be another one of these come along, so we wanted something that was very close to an 18th century design with 18th century type, handle materials and scales.
This one has one two, three four five six pins on it, so that it’s more period-correct for something along the 18th century lines, solid, hardwood handles. They are flat, as many of them were back, then it does have the Pathfinder logo and the habilis Bush tool logo. On it as well, it’s a nice Scandi grind and scanned effects. It’s got a little bit of a convex grind compound grind at the bottom of the Scandinavian grind.
It’s got a good 90-degree spine on it and it’s made out of 1095 so it definitely meets all the criteria. Definitely a good, robust knife. Okay, now, let’s get 2 BHK blind horse knife a blind horse. Obviously, I’ve had a very, very long relationship with blind or knives they’re. Absolutely my favorite knife company Bar None in the world, their knives have never failed me and everybody. I’ve talked to says if they’ve ever had any issue with a knife that blind horse has replaced.
It without question so any guarantee like that is the guarantee I want they’re fit and finish is perfect. Their shops really nice I’ve been to their shop. So I know what it looks like. I know what the craftsmanship is: good, american-made quality, but again you’re going to pay for american-made knives. This is the Pathfinder Scout, the one that I carry probably 95 % of the time, not because I don’t like the PLS k1, but because this one has a little more versatility for what I do every day.
If I were going to have to choose one knife for an emergency, it would be the PLS k1. That’s what it was designed for. This knife is more of a hunting skinning butchering type knife. It’s got a big 6 H butchering style blade on it. European type. French trade knife style blade, 3/16 heavy heavy spine. Oh one tool, steel, curly maple handles it’s just a really really nice heavy duty knife – and I carried this one quite a bit.
The PLS k1 is the original Pathfinder knife that was made by blind horse knives. Scandinavian grind blades about five and a quarter inches long. It’s got some jimping on the top of the blade here, curly maple handles on this one, like I said, oh one tool, steel, heavy duty, 90 degree spine. This knife will do anything in the world that you want it to do and if you have it in, if it’s in the right hands of the person with the right skill, it can do anything you want to do from fine carving to processing firewood.
This is the muck, the Nemec with the Pathfinder logo, on it that’s made by blind horse Scandinavian ground, Nemec style blade, it’s basically a short butcher knife and I think that’s pretty much what nest Mehcad in mind when you had this knife made. If you look at this knife compared to a larger butcher knife they’re pretty much the same, it’s just shorter and squatty ER than a butcher knife. It’s got that same hump at the top so that it rides high over bone when you’re cutting with it.
It’s good for batani! I like this dished area right here, because that forces a lot of forces a lot of pressure right here to the belly when you’re trying to split wood and things like that with it. So it’s a really really good knife, but remember with any knife you’re going to about this. Much of your blade is where you’re going to do 90 % of your work. You know the before you get to the upsweep on the belly is where you’re going to 90 % of your work.
When I see guys carving, sticks and they’re making points on sticks out here on the blade. I know those guys don’t know what they’re doing, because that area of your knife should be the most pristine area, because that’s what we can use to process game. That’s what you’re going to use from very fine under cuts and notches and find carving tasks. You don’t want to use that for hogging material off to make points on sticks.
That’s what this area of the knife is for. Okay, just a little tidbit there, the nest McKnight’s are really really good. All-Around hunting type knife: this is the blind horse. Bushcrafter great cat part style, design, blade cat part style really designed knife for the most part. It’s got this Inlet in the handle, which makes it really comfortable for your finger. It’s got a nice round grip. As my instructor chair, jamie burly, always says, it’s like a broom handle doesn’t matter how you hold it.
It’s always going to be comfortable in your hand and that’s kind of one of the pluses to this knife for bushcrafting and things like that. It’s got a four inch blade on it. Like I said it’s got a cup art design spear point blade on it. This one happens to have a full flat grind. I think the ones they sell have a hollow grind. I’m not positive of that. Don’t quote me on that, and this one happens to have curly maple handles.
This is a really nice little knife that blind horse makes is the woodsman pro now I’ve carried this knife, not as extensive as I carried the others, but it is a really nice woodsy style design, knife for hunting and trapping, and things like that. It’s just not quite big enough for something to me to be beyond a carving knife or a skinning knife for a one tool, type knife. But it is a very good back up knife for the trapline for hunting for skinning and things like that, and this is called the trapline companion now.
This knife has got about a four inch blade on. This was an accidental knife. This is a knife that was made, another knife was messed up and this knife was ground out of it by Dan at blind horse knives and when he showed it to me, I fell in love with him. The reason I fell in love with it and decided to adopt it as the TLC is because it has a nice hollow grind, which means it’s going to stay razor sharp.
It’s got a nice little drop point right here for skinning and making money cuts on furs and hides, and things like that, and it has that small kitchen knife like feel to it. That makes it great for fine carving tasks and things like that. So for making feather sticks for doing fine under cuts and notches and all those types of things. This thing is like the Morra of the blind horse world, except this full tang and it’s high carbon steel with a 90 degree spine.
So it does everything for me. If it needs to okay, one thing: I want to talk about real quick in this article. As I see a lot of people talking about making feather sticks. How, well is the knife make feather sticks well depends again on how well you can handle the knife, and what your skill level is. A good sharp knife will make feather sticks. Obviously a thinner blade is going to make better feather sticks than a thicker blade.
So you have to understand the limitations of what you have, but even a blade that is 3/16 or thick like the Pathfinder knife. But it’s got a big heavy Scandinavian grind on which makes it really good for processing wood and things like that, and a good heavy-duty tool is not going to be as good for fine carving tasks as say this TLC, or even this martini or Mora, because the Blades are thinner, they have a sharper Scandinavian bevel to them and they’re going to make those fine cuts.
This one is hollow ground, so it’s definitely going to make fine cuts all right, but let’s look at these knives and when you’re making feather sticks, you’re not trying to you, don’t want this thing hanging out on a stump between your legs and you’re, trying to push The knife with both hands – that’s not the way to make feather sticks feather sticks, are a fine finesse, carving task I’ll tell you.
Nobody would complain about that butter. Stick! Okay! Out of a 3/16 inch blade with a heavy scanning grind on it. That is a nice feather. Stick that will take flame very very quickly and that’s the advantage of a feather stick. Is you have increased the surface area and made the material very thin so that it heats up quickly and combust faster, okay, guys? Well, I appreciate joining for this article I turn today.
I wanted to go over my mentality with you or my line of thinking when it comes to noise. I also wanted to talk you a little bit about understanding what you’re looking at when you read other people handling knives using knives, reviewing knives and things like that again. This is not a Bosch on any knife company. It’s not a Bosch on a You Tube reviewer. I just want to educate the people who are reading my articles as to what you should be looking for and be sure that when you read a review on any product, whether it’s a knife or a steel pot that that person has used that item.
And you can’t say that you’ve used an item by taking it to the woods one time or for five minutes or five hours or likely even five days. You need to use and abuse that item before you can really say what is worthiness is to have in someone’s kit, I’m Dave camera at five fire school. I appreciate your views, your support, everything you do for me for my school, for my family I’ll be back. Another article soon as I can thanks guys, you
Knives and daggers are awesome! Plain and simple, right? Let me say, I enjoy my dagger collection with a little music playing in the background.
A las reviews que hago en diques spain, aclaró también que la forma de hacer las reviews aquí en i’ve, spain, está hecho, aposta, está meditado y me gusta hacerlo así porque me gusta, hacerlo, así, bueno, pues, porque, es diferente al tipo de reviews que se hacen en Otros canales y también es diferente al tipo de reviews que hago en vic. Spain me decíais es que lo lees es que lo haces menos natural bueno, sí porque.
Lo que estoy haciendo es una review en toda regla vale estoy analizando un producto y obviamente antes de hacer, el vídeo pues hay que sacar muchísima información hay que recopilar muchos datos lo paso, a un guión y luego utilizó el guión para hacer, el vídeo, al igual Que por la noche en tele tienda veis, a un tío que anuncia algo vale pues yo hago exactamente lo mismo. He querido que sea más, como una review de un producto no de algo por así decirlo que tengo yo y que uso habitualmente vale simplemente una review de producto pero en este vídeo me decidido pues bueno, pues, hacer, algo, diferente después de 12-14, vídeos de no sé Cuántos llevamos pues me apetecía hacer algo, diferente, además, spider, cosa una marca que me encanta es una marca que llevo por así decirlo coleccionando desde hace dos años más, o menos mi primera speeder, ccoo, tiene, más de dos años y bueno.
No sé chicos me apetecía y. A mí de jalis en los comentarios que os parece no obstante voy a seguir haciendo los vídeos como, los hacía hasta hoy vale. Lo más seguro así que nada aquí están mis cuatro speeder ccoo la verdad es que he ido comprando por tamaños desde la más, pequeña por, así decirlo hasta la más grande dentro de un tamaño que a mí me parecía, que era, ideal como es decir, por permitir Que éstos cuatro modelos forman parte de mi colección y que vamos a ir viendo uno, a uno ahora mismo pero antes como, no vamos con la intro [ Música, ], [, Aplausos, ], bueno, chicos, pues, ya, estamos, aquí, vamos, con el primer, modelo de spider.
Co que hoy os vengo a mostrar y es el llamado lady book que además fue el primer, modelo de spider. Con que se sumó a mi colección supongo que todos conoceréis la marca obviamente si tuviese que describir esta marca tan conocida tan importante y que tanto ha dado al mundo de la cuchillería, no sabría cómo, hacerlo, realmente, no hombre, para mí spider que es el fabricante de Cuchillos yo creo que más ha influido en el desarrollo de la industria de la cuchillería, probablemente los últimos 40 años de hecho es el responsable por así decirlo del concepto de navaja táctica tal y como, la conocemos hoy en día además ese, concepto ha sido, adaptado e Incluso copiado por muchos de sus competidores y eso es algo, a destacar porque ha sido tan importante por así decirlo hombre, porque ha incluido elementos que hasta entonces por así decirlo, no eran, conocidos e incluso, no existían como por ejemplo el agujero, a una sola mano el One hand que algunas veces: he visto que la gente se refería a él como spider hole.
No y también el clip de sujeción y de sujeción de la cacha que permite portar la cómodamente sin recurrir, a una, funda ni, nada, estos dos elementos creo que son los que más caracterizan a esta marca americana, a esta marca estadounidense llamada speeder co así que nada Vamos, a abrir están lady books, chicos vamos, a ver con lo que nos encontramos ya, os digo que fue mi primera speeder ccoo como veis, deciros, deciros, porque creo que igual.
Se me olvida y es que hay muchas copias de spider, como por ahí así que cuando compréis spider. Con chicos os diría que lo hagáis en cuchillerías fiables vale tanto en la web del colaborador del canal ya, sabéis pero si no en vuestra cuchillería preferida dejamos de comprarlas por internet que ojo chicos que hay, mucha mucha copia de spider. Co eso es muy, importante bueno como, veis, vienen, estas, cajitas, deslizables de color rojo, con el logo de spider bag y un logo, muy llamativo muy chulo, no esa especie de araña, o garrapata llamémosla como queráis y aquí tenemos, esta ley dibujo que diréis madre mía la Gente este modelo que pequeño es saque pequeñita es de hecho voy, a comparar os la columna, victorino es classic para que veáis el tamaño fijaros es poco más vamos, a acercar un poquito es poco más que un victorino es clásico pero os digo chicos que me encanta, O sea me encanta desde, el minuto uno, la metí, con mis, llaves y, no sabéis todo el el partido que le ha sacado.
A esta hoja que por otro lado está fabricada en uno de los mejores aceros al menos para mí que existen vale bueno vamos, a hacer una pequeña review, por así decirlo aunque luego veréis todas las grandes, no yo recomiendo es tan bajita que la lleves con vosotros Porque en un espacio muy reducido tenéis una navaja muy potente cosa os hablo de que como estáis viendo, esta viene con ese agujero one hand que podéis abrirla, a una sola, mano nada, más, como, estáis viendo la hoja, es una especie, como de hoja drop point por Así decirlo en este caso ésta tiene aquí un vaciado que no me gusta mucho prefiero más que sea liso pero bueno cada modelo de spider, como ya, os digo que tenéis varias versiones y podéis elegir el que más os gusta en este caso a mí me gusta.
Más que sea liso pero en este caso tiene este vaciado que por otro lado le da un toque bastante chulo como estáis viendo está fabricada en acero vg 10 luego os diré qué tipo de acero es que para mí vuelvo, a repetir que es uno de los Mejores aceros al menos de los más equilibrados bueno si es que no sea sinceramente hasta que no lleváis una ley dibujo muestra el bolsillo, no sabéis. Lo que os perdáis porque yo todas las veces que la he sacado todas las veces que he tenido que utilizar la gente se ríe dice a dónde vas con esa navaja tan pequeña tío y cuando ven que te puedes afeitar la verdad es que.
No me acuerdo. No me acuerdo cuando la utilice, vale todos, lo juro, no sé cuando, está afilada pero cuando la gente ve que tú te puedes afeitar con ella os juro que gritan ya; no dan crédito pero al o sea; a la potencia llamémosle que tiene, esta ley dibujo obviamente. No es porque sea pequeña ni la marca, sino obviamente eso se, lo da este acero que luego veremos el tipo de acero que es y qué características tiene bueno yo recomiendo muchísimo está lady book chicos por qué porque si si queréis tener una navaja potente una navaja Que nunca os va a fallar en el llavero una navaja pequeñita pero queréis tener un filo que corte lo que sea obviamente os recomiendo esta ley dibujo que desde hace como dos años me acompaña siempre, en en una de las llaves vamos con el segundo modelo que Hoy os traigo que es el llamado dragon fly 2 vale vamos por tamaños ese qué habéis visto sería el más, pequeño por así decirlo que puede ser portable y este sería el siguiente, un poquito más grande lo que pasa es que ya éste tiene algunas diferencias vale Realmente interesantes como vistas antes las cachas de la ley, dibujo eran negras y en este caso os traigo este modelo que me vuelve loco que las cachas son llamadas son green vale, como veis tienen unos toques marrones y unos, toques verdes muy chula, no pues que quereis Que os diga, otra, pasada, o sea otra, navaja, para, etc.
Voy, a ponerla al lado de la de antes para que veáis la diferencia de tamaño sería, esta y luego sería, esta no la verdad es que me gusta mucho mucho, esta por, así, decirlo sería la que, hay intermedia, entre la ley, dibujo y la del ica que Luego veréis pero bueno si queréis llevar algo intermedio os recomiendo obviamente está dragon fly 2 que vamos a abrir vamos, a detenernos otra vez en este agujero en este one hand que tanto revuelo, causó speeder co, cuando lo invento por, así decirlo, no de esta manera sabemos Que podemos abrir nuestra nuestra navaja, a una mano sin, ningún problema vemos que por la parte de atrás trae un clip ojo que no es el clip que estáis acostumbrados a ver en spider co, pero es un clip que funciona bastante bastante bien y bueno está la Bajita es muy recomendada también el acero, también todas las que hoy os voy, a enseñar son en vg 10 es un acero que es una auténtica pasada es verdad que me voy a repetir pero es una auténtica pasada y hombre ya.
Veis que la forma es diferente tiene una forma un poquito más curva que la otra, no bueno luego os iré comparando una con otra muy recomendada también es una especie como de hoja como si fuese un drop point: también vuelvo, a repetir con un agujero one hand Y luego en las más grandes pues hablaremos del tipo de bloqueo que es una especie como de back lock, aunque bueno yo podría considerarlo un poco de mi blog ya que va aquí en el medio.
No la verdad es que tiene muy buen agarre están, a bajita la otra, no la probé, siquiera, obviamente, porque bueno es para lo que es aunque aquí podríamos apoyar el pulgar y funcionar bastante bien con ella también pero, ésta, está, dragonfly pues la verdad. Es que ya es una navaja que se puede usar. Lo que podemos usarla por así decirlo, a diario quizás con la ley dibujo tendríamos que llevar un poquito más grande si queréis yo que sé cortar un bocadillo grande o cortar algo más grande pero con esta dragonfly yo creo que ya tiene unas medidas bueno bastante ideales.
Para utilizar de cdc, no también me gusta mucho el color, bueno estas navajas las tenéis en muchos colores y por tocar un poquito todos los modelos que vais a ver están fabricadas sus cachas en f rn luego os diré qué significa porque hay mucha gente que le Gusta mucho este material y hay otros que no les gusta para nada. Dicen que si es un poquito frágil que si llega a partir, no sé hasta, qué punto sea verdad la verdad, a mí.
No se me caen las navajas de la mano, pero creo que es un material muy resistente y que luego veremos un poco cómo está fabricado me encanta, es un paso más de la ley, dibujo este ya se puede considerar como parece, para llevar, está, como, una baja Grande ya, os digo que aquí podéis apoyar el pulgar y funciona muy muy muy bien en el día, a día hombre una pega que le puedo poner pues que quizás tenga la hoja en la forma de la hoja sea, un poquito agresiva quizás, no pero, bueno, estás Spider que son todas si tienen esa hoja acabada en punta un drop point: como muy como muy pronunciada y quizás sea un poquito agresiva pero bueno, a mí ya os digo que esta marca me encanta y por otro lado recordar que en todas las que vais a Ver ahora también llevan un agujero para el cordón, fiador vamos ahora, con la tercera, spider co que es el modelo que más veces.
He usado durante unos meses se convirtió en mi bolsillo era, ideal por, encima, incluso de los victorinos chicos en serio, o sea imaginaros. Lo potente que tiene que ser esta navaja o lo impresionante que tiene que ser esta navaja para yo dejar mis victorinos en casa y usar solamente esto en serio solamente esto con una clásico, con una asignatura pero, esta hoja era, mi hoja principal en el día, a Día no voy a poner la nave una victorinox de 91, milímetros para que veáis un poquito su tamaño ya, que hoy no va a haber.
Esquemas ni nada va a ser un poquito ya, os digo rollo, big spain y como veis es un poquito más grande que una de 91 milímetros por lo tanto es vamos la bolsillo era; ideal por, así, decirlo, ya, veis que de ancho bueno al ancho realmente. No se nota mucho bueno que deciros de esta maravilla pues que tiene muchas cosas, a favor para convertirse en una auténtica, pc como, por, ejemplo como, no como, habíamos, hablado el agujero, no el spyder hole o one hand, porque vos, porque se abre muy, fácil, está del Ica se abre muy muy fácil tiene, un tamaño excepcional para el día, a día como veis aquí apoyaríamos nuestro pulgar la verdad es que es muy difícil que se nos marche, trabajando, está del ica y yo, qué queréis por otro, lado vuelve, a repetir os que está Fabricada en acero vg 10 vale para mí uno de los mejores aceros que existen en este momento como estáis viendo también viene con un vaciado que no me acaba de convencer, a mí pero yo creo que es estéticamente porque por otro lado está muy bien que lleven Un vaciado ya, sabéis depende, como sea cóncavo y convexo sirven para una, determinada, cosa, pero, a mí estéticamente.
No me acaban de convencer aunque por momentos le veo que tiene como un dibujo muy bonito pero. No me acaba de convencer prefiero más que sea plano y prefiero más que sea plano porque se parecen mucho a las, alas militar ya, las paramilitar y que me gustan tanto que son navajas de 300 y pico euros de spider. Co y yo que sé no sé por eso la siguiente que me compré a esta que luego veréis ya tenía el vaciado plano otra cosa también, a favor de esta delicado de todas las que estáis viendo es el sistema de bloqueo, un sistema de bloqueo pues muy Bueno este llamado backlog, aunque ya, os dije alguna vez que para mí sería un poco 1002 porque va en mitad de lo que sería la navaja pero este sistema de bloqueo pando que funciona realmente bien es un sistema que yo creo que la gran mayoría de modelos De spider que utiliza y va realmente bien.
Lo mejor de todo como siempre digo es que este tipo de navajas podemos abrirlas, a una mano y además te rodearás también. A una mano así que eso ya es un punto muy a favor deciros también que están sus cachas todas las que habéis visto están fabricadas en efe r n que es una especie como de tipo de fibra de vidrio reforzada con nylon, vale es un material termoplástico Que fue introducido hace algunos años por la empresa, estadounidense dupont y la verdad es que es muy resistente, a la flexión ya que no flexiona nada, a la abrasión y también es considerado por muchos como prácticamente.
Lo mejor de eso es que es barato vale así todo. A mí me gusta más, el g-10 pues, no sé por, qué manía, este funciona realmente bien pero también os digo que es muy resistente yo me han dicho que aunque sea muy, resistente muy resistente llega, a partirse pero es muy resistente. Lo que pasa es que da la sensación de que es como plástico barato parece que tienes en la mano algo que es barato y además, no es tan adherente como el g-10 vale, o sea estamos hablando de que el fn es un buen material pero, no acaba De ser, un g-10 y obviamente eso se nota en el precio este es más barato, no es que se da la sensación como que que es malo.
No, no se da la sensación bueno repetir que este material es muy, dura muy, dura acero y resistente chicos toca hablaros un poquito del acero es acero vg 10 que tanto os llevo hablando a lo largo del vídeo que os. He dicho que es uno de los mejores aceros que existen al menos, para mí vale es verdad que no todos los usuarios necesitan el mismo acero, o les va bien el mismo acero pero es tvg 10 se ha convertido en uno de los acero los más conocidos Y más utilizados a día de hoy en el mundo de la cuchillería, quiero deciros que sage que estáis viendo la tvg, no viene de la palabra, gol de la palabra, oro y hace referencia obviamente, a su calidad porque es tan bueno, este acero, vg 10 bueno pues Deciros que es un acero que aguanta muy muy bien la corrosión es un acero bastante duro podríamos decirlo no y la verdad es que él lo más importante desde acero es la facilidad del afilado de chicos, si utilizáis mucho una navaja de bolsillo y se, desafina y Se de esa fila fácil si luego cuesta afilar la pues, para mí, es un hándicap, muy grande yo.
No me compraría esa navaja, con ese acero, no está pero también es un acero duro podemos considerar. Lo que creo que tenía una dureza de entre 59 y 61. Hc y la verdad es que como os digo es un acero que se le saca muy buen filo yo está realmente, no sé desde, cuándo está afilada.

Knives and daggers are awesome! Plain and simple, right? Let me say, I enjoy my dagger collection with a little music playing in the background.
Let’s get started really saying this list is in no specific order than price point and to give you guys, quick rundown of these dives in case you’re, unfamiliar with any of them. This is, of course, the more a companion visiting Morra eldress. This is the S III. This is the LT right Camp muck, and this is the BRK bushcrafter, and these are my top five and I’m going to get into why I these five made it onto this list, probably know or have seen from this blog.
I have a lot of neck knives and I’ve used a lot of neck knives and so who really does take quite a special knife to actually make it onto this list, because I have many to choose from, but the more companion. The reason why this is one of the first on my list is because this was actually the first neck knife. I ever ran this one specifically in the first neck knife I ever ran alongside the Mora companion.
These were the first third, more companion, slash clipper were the first two neck knives for me to ever run and I ran them for around a year and a half, and I really liked them as far as performance goes. They are very good. The price point is incredibly hard to beat on them. Overall, this knife just was such an impressive knife and, like I was saying you know, I ran it for a long time, so I really understand how to use this knife and I think, for a good starting neck knife.
This one is extremely hard to beat. I really think the only thing that could really beat this as a starter. Neck knife is its newer brother, the L dress and the L dress. Once I got it, I was kind of one of the last people as far as youtuber viewers to go to actually get one, but now that I’ve got it, it is fastly becoming one of my favorite neck knives. Ever I mean really, as I see the more L dress, it’s like a every day man’s se as Azula.
You know it has a large handle, obviously for these mittens, it’s a little bit hard to show, but it actually can fit pretty well, even with very large men, unlike I have here today, but overall, as far as being a very small night list set around the Size of an ST masuleh, this knife is really really good and once again it keeps that characteristic property of more knives, and that is a very good value and a reasonably low.
When I was saying, I really love the moral dress and it is, in my opinion, really the only Mora that could really beat the companion as far as being a very compact, very lightweight, but still quite strong neck knife and one of the largest upgrades I see With Elle dress is not only that is a lighter weight than the companion, but they’ve actually sharpened the spine from factory on the L dress. So it actually throws me crazy, so I really have been in super impressed by it.
I think any of you guys have readed my a lot of my survival kit. Articles you’ll know that the L dress is pretty much the knife of choice for me, and it is that for that reason that it’s extremely small, extremely light yet extremely capable. So, though that is the companion’ /l dress, I really do love the companion once again, if you’re getting in neck knives – and you really want to get a good knife knife to begin with, you know: oftentimes a lot of neck knives are more expensive.
Like these. All three of these are over $ 100, so Neth knives can be more expensive thing to get into, but if you want really affordable ones, definitely turn to Mora. So number three is the S III. Ironically, that is not tying that way. It’s just how it worked out, it’s just a coincidence, but I really love the S III. This is actually one of my favorites of this entire batch just for the fact that I think it’s really good for bushcraft, but it’s also really good defensive, Neff knife and the reason why – and I’ve talked about this – I believe in the review – is because it’s an Ultra ultra slim night, I mean yes see the thickness on this I mean this is the thinnest as far as overall thickness like throughout the entire knife.
This is the thinnest knife. Here I mean you can see with all these other knives the handles they kind of swell out, and that is a little bit of a problem with long term use of the ac3. But when you carry this knife, it is super flat super low-profile. It does not. Stick out at all, so it makes it a really good defensive option, as well as a pretty capable field blade, and so this is how to make my list just for the fact that it, if it’s dualism it also in my opinion, is one of the most Perfect sizes for a neck knife – I know these smaller neck knives are great, but at the same time I do like personally just a little bit of a larger knife, and so that’s where the S III lines right off with me, and so I really like this One and if you do shop around normally these things are a little over $ 100, so normally like around 104 to $ 100 on Amazon, but I actually shopped around and found a killer deal on this one.
I got this one for like $ 70, so you can find good deals on se. Threes. You just really have to read out. You know, go to a lot of knife shops in particular. I got this one from knives ship free when they were doing like a blowout sale or this one I like, sell a whole bunch of excess stuff, so they were discounting it heavily. So I really liked this one. I was able to get it like. I said for a really good deal and this one’s a little bit of special one just for accelerations, it’s a green and Brent blaze orange as well as it’s a modified tang.
So I really like this one. I’ve been very impressed with it and, like I said what I like most about this knife, is that dual factor that not only can you carry this in a bushcrafting situation and still a very capable knife. But if you want a knife that also duels as your everyday carry neck knife or a defensive purpose, this is a very good choice. I want to a little bit more of an unusual one, I’d say in the LT right lineup.
This is probably one of their least talked about or more rare knives, and this is the LT right can’t muck. Now this is actually one and I’ll be doing the forward wellness and a bed, but this is actually one that came over from the. What is it long blind horse knife days and this one was the camp muck by blind horse knives, but of course, black horse knives no longer exists, but LT right took this design on and once again I think they killed it and additionally, a super capable camp Knife, it’s extremely good.
I’ve dressed several game animals, it’s extremely good at dressing game animals, it’s pretty good at doing just regular camp tasks. This is an a2 tool steel, so the edge retention is pretty good. Once again, it’s right around the same size as the SE. Through you can kind of see, you know it’s, it’s actually a little smaller than the S III and so fits right in there right in my kind of loved size range.
So I really like where this fall as far as the size range goes. It’s not too big, it’s not too small and one thing it’s a very unusual knife. It’s really awesome. I love that nest neck design. It’s not a design, you see very frequently anymore, but it’s still extremely capable and if you ever use an S, mukhda zine you’ll really love it. So that is the LT right can’t muck. This one, like I said, is an a2 tool.
Steel with black and blue g10 that is contoured, so I really love this setup. These are pretty tough to find like I was saying they are rare for a reason. I contacted LT right and they only make these every once in a long while in small batches. So if you want one of these, they’re really tricky to find, but just google them, you can likely find a company. Once again, one of my favorite places to get knives is nice ship free, not trying to do an ad for them, but I found both of the SE and this LT right there they only had this is the last one they had in stock, though so yeah.
These are pretty tricky to find that’s kind of my only hesitancy of making a review with them is. They are quite tricky to find and they’re not made very frequent. You probably one of my favorite. I guess you could say math knives. I’ve carried this or I carried this. This is decommissioned both of the companion and this one on our decommissioned. In case, you guys are wondering why you don’t see necklaces on them.
They long abundantly absolute favorites, but for a very long time it was one of my most favorite bushcraft knives. I guess a whole just an entirety of bushcrafting. It still is an extremely hard to beat night. If you really want to see the standard of what a bushcraft knife should be it pretty much is the bark of a nice bushcrafter, I’m not just trying to say that, because it’s an expensive knife, but overall the complete design on this and the way it’s laid Out the wave, the exit is just extremely good.
I have game animals with this knife, everything from grouse to squirrels, to hares every every really my shot, every type of animal except large, large game animals. I’ve dressed with this. It is an extremely capable knife, not just in stress in game animals, though it is also very good. At carving netting needles, try sticks really. This was a knife that I had to separate myself with, and so when I do a lot of like how-to articles, I don’t like to do it with this knife, just because I use this night so much I mean it is like my general purpose fix all Knife look: I just need a knife to do something.
I am 99 % sure this knife will do it and it’s made out of the excellent CPM 3v steel. It is an incredible steel. This 3 v it just goes forever. It’s an absolute trooper of a steel. It is a sharpened spine or at least a 90-degree spine, so it throws fair odds, marks very well. The handle’having. Now more experience I did when I first got this knife with handles. I will say, at least in the beginning of this, handle it’s a little too slender me, but still even now, it is pretty good.
Another thing I like about this knife as far as neck knives go. You can see that even with these gigantic mittens on – and these are a very large men in case you guys don’t know – these are not tiny little mittens, but even with these very large mittens on I solve a complete hold. None of my fingers are falling off. Even you know, with the mittens on the mitten is not falling off the back or really the front.
You know I can still fully use this knife, because this handle is quite large. This is, I think, the largest neck knife I have here, and this is probably honestly the largest size for neck knife. I would ever recommend but overall, like I said, if you’re looking for a standard of measure for a bushcraft or really not nice, this is it. I do think if you were to go with this knife, it’s really hard to go wrong with it.
It is expensive, I’m not going to lie it’s around 230 dollars, if not more, because some of the handle options, but it is 5 knives or neck knives for bushcraft. In particular, I could go into a defensive role like or everyday carry where I’m carrying neck knives for defensive or in a defensive role, and certainly it would change up a little bit. There would be other knives in this mix, but this one’s more specifically talking about outdoors knives and, like I said over my experience of years and bushcraft, would have been some of my favorite neck knives.
Hopefully, you’ve enjoyed that. Don’t forget to comment like share subscribe and tell me what your thoughts are. What are you guys’s, 5 top neck knives, or do you guys even carry neck knives? I’m not sure not. Everyone carries neck knives, but I certainly do and really love it. If you guys don’t carry neck knives seriously, think about it, anyways guys! That’s all! For now and I’m out you you

A las reviews que hago en diques spain, aclaró también que la forma de hacer las reviews aquí en i’ve, spain, está hecho, aposta, está meditado y me gusta hacerlo así porque me gusta, hacerlo, así, bueno, pues, porque, es diferente al tipo de reviews que se hacen en Otros canales y también es diferente al tipo de reviews que hago en vic. Spain me decíais es que lo lees es que lo haces menos natural bueno, sí porque.
Lo que estoy haciendo es una review en toda regla vale estoy analizando un producto y obviamente antes de hacer, el vídeo pues hay que sacar muchísima información hay que recopilar muchos datos lo paso, a un guión y luego utilizó el guión para hacer, el vídeo, al igual Que por la noche en tele tienda veis, a un tío que anuncia algo vale pues yo hago exactamente lo mismo. He querido que sea más, como una review de un producto no de algo por así decirlo que tengo yo y que uso habitualmente vale simplemente una review de producto pero en este vídeo me decidido pues bueno, pues, hacer, algo, diferente después de 12-14, vídeos de no sé Cuántos llevamos pues me apetecía hacer algo, diferente, además, spider, cosa una marca que me encanta es una marca que llevo por así decirlo coleccionando desde hace dos años más, o menos mi primera speeder, ccoo, tiene, más de dos años y bueno.
No sé chicos me apetecía y. A mí de jalis en los comentarios que os parece no obstante voy a seguir haciendo los vídeos como, los hacía hasta hoy vale. Lo más seguro así que nada aquí están mis cuatro speeder ccoo la verdad es que he ido comprando por tamaños desde la más, pequeña por, así decirlo hasta la más grande dentro de un tamaño que a mí me parecía, que era, ideal como es decir, por permitir Que éstos cuatro modelos forman parte de mi colección y que vamos a ir viendo uno, a uno ahora mismo pero antes como, no vamos con la intro [ Música, ], [, Aplausos, ], bueno, chicos, pues, ya, estamos, aquí, vamos, con el primer, modelo de spider.
Co que hoy os vengo a mostrar y es el llamado lady book que además fue el primer, modelo de spider. Con que se sumó a mi colección supongo que todos conoceréis la marca obviamente si tuviese que describir esta marca tan conocida tan importante y que tanto ha dado al mundo de la cuchillería, no sabría cómo, hacerlo, realmente, no hombre, para mí spider que es el fabricante de Cuchillos yo creo que más ha influido en el desarrollo de la industria de la cuchillería, probablemente los últimos 40 años de hecho es el responsable por así decirlo del concepto de navaja táctica tal y como, la conocemos hoy en día además ese, concepto ha sido, adaptado e Incluso copiado por muchos de sus competidores y eso es algo, a destacar porque ha sido tan importante por así decirlo hombre, porque ha incluido elementos que hasta entonces por así decirlo, no eran, conocidos e incluso, no existían como por ejemplo el agujero, a una sola mano el One hand que algunas veces: he visto que la gente se refería a él como spider hole.
No y también el clip de sujeción y de sujeción de la cacha que permite portar la cómodamente sin recurrir, a una, funda ni, nada, estos dos elementos creo que son los que más caracterizan a esta marca americana, a esta marca estadounidense llamada speeder co así que nada Vamos, a abrir están lady books, chicos vamos, a ver con lo que nos encontramos ya, os digo que fue mi primera speeder ccoo como veis, deciros, deciros, porque creo que igual.
Se me olvida y es que hay muchas copias de spider, como por ahí así que cuando compréis spider. Con chicos os diría que lo hagáis en cuchillerías fiables vale tanto en la web del colaborador del canal ya, sabéis pero si no en vuestra cuchillería preferida dejamos de comprarlas por internet que ojo chicos que hay, mucha mucha copia de spider. Co eso es muy, importante bueno como, veis, vienen, estas, cajitas, deslizables de color rojo, con el logo de spider bag y un logo, muy llamativo muy chulo, no esa especie de araña, o garrapata llamémosla como queráis y aquí tenemos, esta ley dibujo que diréis madre mía la Gente este modelo que pequeño es saque pequeñita es de hecho voy, a comparar os la columna, victorino es classic para que veáis el tamaño fijaros es poco más vamos, a acercar un poquito es poco más que un victorino es clásico pero os digo chicos que me encanta, O sea me encanta desde, el minuto uno, la metí, con mis, llaves y, no sabéis todo el el partido que le ha sacado.
A esta hoja que por otro lado está fabricada en uno de los mejores aceros al menos para mí que existen vale bueno vamos, a hacer una pequeña review, por así decirlo aunque luego veréis todas las grandes, no yo recomiendo es tan bajita que la lleves con vosotros Porque en un espacio muy reducido tenéis una navaja muy potente cosa os hablo de que como estáis viendo, esta viene con ese agujero one hand que podéis abrirla, a una sola, mano nada, más, como, estáis viendo la hoja, es una especie, como de hoja drop point por Así decirlo en este caso ésta tiene aquí un vaciado que no me gusta mucho prefiero más que sea liso pero bueno cada modelo de spider, como ya, os digo que tenéis varias versiones y podéis elegir el que más os gusta en este caso a mí me gusta.
Más que sea liso pero en este caso tiene este vaciado que por otro lado le da un toque bastante chulo como estáis viendo está fabricada en acero vg 10 luego os diré qué tipo de acero es que para mí vuelvo, a repetir que es uno de los Mejores aceros al menos de los más equilibrados bueno si es que no sea sinceramente hasta que no lleváis una ley dibujo muestra el bolsillo, no sabéis. Lo que os perdáis porque yo todas las veces que la he sacado todas las veces que he tenido que utilizar la gente se ríe dice a dónde vas con esa navaja tan pequeña tío y cuando ven que te puedes afeitar la verdad es que.
No me acuerdo. No me acuerdo cuando la utilice, vale todos, lo juro, no sé cuando, está afilada pero cuando la gente ve que tú te puedes afeitar con ella os juro que gritan ya; no dan crédito pero al o sea; a la potencia llamémosle que tiene, esta ley dibujo obviamente. No es porque sea pequeña ni la marca, sino obviamente eso se, lo da este acero que luego veremos el tipo de acero que es y qué características tiene bueno yo recomiendo muchísimo está lady book chicos por qué porque si si queréis tener una navaja potente una navaja Que nunca os va a fallar en el llavero una navaja pequeñita pero queréis tener un filo que corte lo que sea obviamente os recomiendo esta ley dibujo que desde hace como dos años me acompaña siempre, en en una de las llaves vamos con el segundo modelo que Hoy os traigo que es el llamado dragon fly 2 vale vamos por tamaños ese qué habéis visto sería el más, pequeño por así decirlo que puede ser portable y este sería el siguiente, un poquito más grande lo que pasa es que ya éste tiene algunas diferencias vale Realmente interesantes como vistas antes las cachas de la ley, dibujo eran negras y en este caso os traigo este modelo que me vuelve loco que las cachas son llamadas son green vale, como veis tienen unos toques marrones y unos, toques verdes muy chula, no pues que quereis Que os diga, otra, pasada, o sea otra, navaja, para, etc.
Voy, a ponerla al lado de la de antes para que veáis la diferencia de tamaño sería, esta y luego sería, esta no la verdad es que me gusta mucho mucho, esta por, así, decirlo sería la que, hay intermedia, entre la ley, dibujo y la del ica que Luego veréis pero bueno si queréis llevar algo intermedio os recomiendo obviamente está dragon fly 2 que vamos a abrir vamos, a detenernos otra vez en este agujero en este one hand que tanto revuelo, causó speeder co, cuando lo invento por, así decirlo, no de esta manera sabemos Que podemos abrir nuestra nuestra navaja, a una mano sin, ningún problema vemos que por la parte de atrás trae un clip ojo que no es el clip que estáis acostumbrados a ver en spider co, pero es un clip que funciona bastante bastante bien y bueno está la Bajita es muy recomendada también el acero, también todas las que hoy os voy, a enseñar son en vg 10 es un acero que es una auténtica pasada es verdad que me voy a repetir pero es una auténtica pasada y hombre ya.
Veis que la forma es diferente tiene una forma un poquito más curva que la otra, no bueno luego os iré comparando una con otra muy recomendada también es una especie como de hoja como si fuese un drop point: también vuelvo, a repetir con un agujero one hand Y luego en las más grandes pues hablaremos del tipo de bloqueo que es una especie como de back lock, aunque bueno yo podría considerarlo un poco de mi blog ya que va aquí en el medio.
No la verdad es que tiene muy buen agarre están, a bajita la otra, no la probé, siquiera, obviamente, porque bueno es para lo que es aunque aquí podríamos apoyar el pulgar y funcionar bastante bien con ella también pero, ésta, está, dragonfly pues la verdad. Es que ya es una navaja que se puede usar. Lo que podemos usarla por así decirlo, a diario quizás con la ley dibujo tendríamos que llevar un poquito más grande si queréis yo que sé cortar un bocadillo grande o cortar algo más grande pero con esta dragonfly yo creo que ya tiene unas medidas bueno bastante ideales.
Para utilizar de cdc, no también me gusta mucho el color, bueno estas navajas las tenéis en muchos colores y por tocar un poquito todos los modelos que vais a ver están fabricadas sus cachas en f rn luego os diré qué significa porque hay mucha gente que le Gusta mucho este material y hay otros que no les gusta para nada. Dicen que si es un poquito frágil que si llega a partir, no sé hasta, qué punto sea verdad la verdad, a mí.
No se me caen las navajas de la mano, pero creo que es un material muy resistente y que luego veremos un poco cómo está fabricado me encanta, es un paso más de la ley, dibujo este ya se puede considerar como parece, para llevar, está, como, una baja Grande ya, os digo que aquí podéis apoyar el pulgar y funciona muy muy muy bien en el día, a día hombre una pega que le puedo poner pues que quizás tenga la hoja en la forma de la hoja sea, un poquito agresiva quizás, no pero, bueno, estás Spider que son todas si tienen esa hoja acabada en punta un drop point: como muy como muy pronunciada y quizás sea un poquito agresiva pero bueno, a mí ya os digo que esta marca me encanta y por otro lado recordar que en todas las que vais a Ver ahora también llevan un agujero para el cordón, fiador vamos ahora, con la tercera, spider co que es el modelo que más veces.
He usado durante unos meses se convirtió en mi bolsillo era, ideal por, encima, incluso de los victorinos chicos en serio, o sea imaginaros. Lo potente que tiene que ser esta navaja o lo impresionante que tiene que ser esta navaja para yo dejar mis victorinos en casa y usar solamente esto en serio solamente esto con una clásico, con una asignatura pero, esta hoja era, mi hoja principal en el día, a Día no voy a poner la nave una victorinox de 91, milímetros para que veáis un poquito su tamaño ya, que hoy no va a haber.
Esquemas ni nada va a ser un poquito ya, os digo rollo, big spain y como veis es un poquito más grande que una de 91 milímetros por lo tanto es vamos la bolsillo era; ideal por, así, decirlo, ya, veis que de ancho bueno al ancho realmente. No se nota mucho bueno que deciros de esta maravilla pues que tiene muchas cosas, a favor para convertirse en una auténtica, pc como, por, ejemplo como, no como, habíamos, hablado el agujero, no el spyder hole o one hand, porque vos, porque se abre muy, fácil, está del Ica se abre muy muy fácil tiene, un tamaño excepcional para el día, a día como veis aquí apoyaríamos nuestro pulgar la verdad es que es muy difícil que se nos marche, trabajando, está del ica y yo, qué queréis por otro, lado vuelve, a repetir os que está Fabricada en acero vg 10 vale para mí uno de los mejores aceros que existen en este momento como estáis viendo también viene con un vaciado que no me acaba de convencer, a mí pero yo creo que es estéticamente porque por otro lado está muy bien que lleven Un vaciado ya, sabéis depende, como sea cóncavo y convexo sirven para una, determinada, cosa, pero, a mí estéticamente.
No me acaban de convencer aunque por momentos le veo que tiene como un dibujo muy bonito pero. No me acaba de convencer prefiero más que sea plano y prefiero más que sea plano porque se parecen mucho a las, alas militar ya, las paramilitar y que me gustan tanto que son navajas de 300 y pico euros de spider. Co y yo que sé no sé por eso la siguiente que me compré a esta que luego veréis ya tenía el vaciado plano otra cosa también, a favor de esta delicado de todas las que estáis viendo es el sistema de bloqueo, un sistema de bloqueo pues muy Bueno este llamado backlog, aunque ya, os dije alguna vez que para mí sería un poco 1002 porque va en mitad de lo que sería la navaja pero este sistema de bloqueo pando que funciona realmente bien es un sistema que yo creo que la gran mayoría de modelos De spider que utiliza y va realmente bien.
Lo mejor de todo como siempre digo es que este tipo de navajas podemos abrirlas, a una mano y además te rodearás también. A una mano así que eso ya es un punto muy a favor deciros también que están sus cachas todas las que habéis visto están fabricadas en efe r n que es una especie como de tipo de fibra de vidrio reforzada con nylon, vale es un material termoplástico Que fue introducido hace algunos años por la empresa, estadounidense dupont y la verdad es que es muy resistente, a la flexión ya que no flexiona nada, a la abrasión y también es considerado por muchos como prácticamente.
Lo mejor de eso es que es barato vale así todo. A mí me gusta más, el g-10 pues, no sé por, qué manía, este funciona realmente bien pero también os digo que es muy resistente yo me han dicho que aunque sea muy, resistente muy resistente llega, a partirse pero es muy resistente. Lo que pasa es que da la sensación de que es como plástico barato parece que tienes en la mano algo que es barato y además, no es tan adherente como el g-10 vale, o sea estamos hablando de que el fn es un buen material pero, no acaba De ser, un g-10 y obviamente eso se nota en el precio este es más barato, no es que se da la sensación como que que es malo.
No, no se da la sensación bueno repetir que este material es muy, dura muy, dura acero y resistente chicos toca hablaros un poquito del acero es acero vg 10 que tanto os llevo hablando a lo largo del vídeo que os. He dicho que es uno de los mejores aceros que existen al menos, para mí vale es verdad que no todos los usuarios necesitan el mismo acero, o les va bien el mismo acero pero es tvg 10 se ha convertido en uno de los acero los más conocidos Y más utilizados a día de hoy en el mundo de la cuchillería, quiero deciros que sage que estáis viendo la tvg, no viene de la palabra, gol de la palabra, oro y hace referencia obviamente, a su calidad porque es tan bueno, este acero, vg 10 bueno pues Deciros que es un acero que aguanta muy muy bien la corrosión es un acero bastante duro podríamos decirlo no y la verdad es que él lo más importante desde acero es la facilidad del afilado de chicos, si utilizáis mucho una navaja de bolsillo y se, desafina y Se de esa fila fácil si luego cuesta afilar la pues, para mí, es un hándicap, muy grande yo.
No me compraría esa navaja, con ese acero, no está pero también es un acero duro podemos considerar. Lo que creo que tenía una dureza de entre 59 y 61. Hc y la verdad es que como os digo es un acero que se le saca muy buen filo yo está realmente, no sé desde, cuándo está afilada. No lo sé pero os puedo decir que la utilizo muchísimo y que y que me encanta sinceramente me encanta este tipo de acero en estas navajas deciros también que yo la filo estas trabajarlas, a filo con el afilador de spider.
Co que hice un vídeo en su día que os intentaré dejar un enlace por ahí en el canal de vic, spain y la verdad vuelvo, a repetir que este urge 10 se afila solo, si no tienes ni idea de afilar este vg 10 se afila solo y Vuelvo, a repetir que es muy recomendable vamos ahora sí chicos con el último modelo de mi colección y es que vamos un pasito más arriba en cuanto a tamaño os estoy hablando de la speeder, cohen, dura esto ya.

Knives and daggers are awesome! Plain and simple, right? Let me say, I enjoy my dagger collection with a little music playing in the background.
Please do not forget to comment like share and subscribe if you want to see more awesome, Alaskan content like that right into this review. This is actually the first benchmade night I ever got and it’s been a pretty awesome.
Benchmade I’ve carried it for quite a few years. I don’t really religiously carry it anymore, as there are other options and, of course, being an EDC care reviewer. I try and keep more knives running through the rotation, but this knife kind of is special because it is my first bunch mate and I ever thought, and so that’s why I’ve kind of kept it around and the other reason I’ve kept around is because it is Still, even though it has hateful serrations on it, it still is a pretty capable knife overall, especially in an everyday, carry setting, and so once again does, unfortunately have serrations, but back when I was first getting this knife.
If I was kind of one of those kids at that time, I really liked the whole black blades and serrations, and all that kind of fancy stuff that really it was kind of a trend of being cool. But the trend didn’t really last because practically plain edges just end up being better overall, so yeah. That is, but it’s basically why this one has serrations on it and, as you guys will notice, I tried my hardest.
It still was a little bit hard, but as I was processing up that pizza box of an awesome pizza company, I was trying to actually split some of the testing between just the straightedge in just the serrations. It is a little bit hard because this blade is not the longest blade, and so it can be a little bit difficult when you’re trying to kind of slice through something to just keep it on just the serrations or just the blade.
And I also did a little bit of intermixed, so you know if you’re just a straight slash right through that cardboard, you’d first catch the serrations and then the plain edge, so there’s going to be a little bit of. But I wanted to kind of show you guys what it looked like with just the plain edge and what it looked like with just the serrations. I will say I think the serrations had a bit of an easier time with part of the cardboard.
I think they might be a little bit better and of breaking up the cardboard fiber kind of just going right through it. So partially serrated blades aren’t entirely bad, but they definitely are not my favorite. They do have some batter applications such as fibrous materials like cardboard and especially ropes. Serrations tend to go through a lot faster, but at the same time they can be a little bit harder to maintain and overall, I think they kind of just don’t look that good.
Anyways, so my overall experience with this knife has been, for the most part, really good. I’ve really enjoyed this knife and there’s a reason other than this. Just being my first bench made why this knife has stuck around with me for the past, like five or six years, bunch mates, really it’s just an overall great knife. Now I currently have this one on a lanyard, because I don’t really like the benchmade clips, and so I thought I would just run this one on a lanyard.
I don’t run it that frequently that one I do occasionally run this knife. I kind of like to mix it up and just kind of throw it in the pocket and just kind of run it that way, because every once a while I do enjoy a lanyard knife instead of one that has a pocket clip on it. So that is how it’s running as far as retention or in the pocket carry as far as overall organ of expulsion, a far n handles there, nothing special it’s just like a plastic handle and you can definitely tell they kind of feel a little cheap.
But at the same time that that cheapness does pay off, because these knives are still pretty affordable for what you’re getting and so that the cheap material and the handles helps you to have a better blade material and a higher-quality knife at a lower price. So I really can’t complain about the material as far as the material does go. It has to to test the time and I’ve abused the knife quite a bit and accidentally like dropped this knife in the closed position.
Thank the Lord on things like stone and rock, and it has a few gashes in the handle to prove of that, but the handle hasn’t shattered or it hasn’t really cracked in any ways, though other than that the for the most part, the ergonomic still pretty squared Away this is not really a tactical knife, but it could be used in that way. You do have jumping back here for your thumb, and so it could. I will say I don’t know if the 550 having a kind of reverse sheet foot blade, is the best option for a tactical knife, because it’s not the absolute most pointy, because your tip is kind of downward sloping.
Certainly not like another knife. That’s similar like this. One and the primary reason why the nsync Oh grind is so much better at penetration is because Chris breeze has actually gone in and put cuts on the both of the top to both sides of the top of this tip and helped thin out the overall blade Material here and put a false edge on the top, so it kind of AIDS in penetration, so that I will say is why that downward sloping tip on the nsync.
Oh grind works so well, but this one obviously does not have that so other plate features that I do really enjoy are not the serrations cuz. I don’t really enjoyed those, but I do actually love the opening hole. I am a big fan of Spyderco knives. I wish I could have more of them, but right now only have one of them in the current collection, and even though I only have one, I still love all these Spyderco whole opening knives and including when benchmade put a spider hole hug their knives, regardless to How controversial that is or isn’t? I still really enjoy that? I really do like that, and I, like that, a lot more than 5:51.
I believe it is the one that just has the thumb studs, which is not bad. I have a few thumb stud bench maids. This one included and the 5d sexes – and so some studs are not the worst thing in the world, but I kind of like these whole openers more, but I do like the the whole overall. It also kind of lightens the blade stock a little bit more and as far as the 5d justify 50 goes, I do like the blade shape a little bit more.
This one is in a black. I forget the coating that they use for this, but, as you guys can see, this one has been heavily used in a bit abused on the tip and it definitely has a bit of a we’re on this coating. But for the most part, this coating is a pretty tough black coating and it’s not too tacky. I know some people don’t like st coatings, because they’re really tacky and this one just like any coating – does have a bit of tackiness to it.
But for the most part it is overall pretty smooth and, like I said within reason, pretty durable – I mean most of this tip kind of we’re here has happened when I actually stabbed this knife into some tin cans. This was really early on and I stabbed this knife into some tin cans to like make a Hobo, stove air or a couple Hostos actually, and that’s what actually primarily wore off this coating was that contact with the tin can on this steel, just kind of tough To clothing right off, so that’s a pretty and good abuse to take the coating off.
So I’m not too surprised to cody wore off when doing that, and then on the back of this, I also induced this knife quite a bit for striking feral rods, because it does have a pretty sharp back on it. So the back of this knife is actually the coating is pretty beat up because I’ll use it a lot to strike Ferro rods. As far as the lock goes, this is, of course, an axis lock and I love axis locks. If you guys haven’t noticed, I have or have had a lot of bench maids in the collection, and that is on purpose.
I do really love benchmade axis locks in particular, so overall I really loved their axis. Lock, it’s a fun lock to use. I really have a knife that smooth without a bit of side to side place so like these types of knives will have. You know just a little bit of side-to-side play, but that’s that’s because they’re so smooth or if I said over all up and down play is absolutely nothing and very solid lockup for six years and I do go in and I kind of clean this one every Once in a while, when there’s kind of dirt built up on the actual axis lost, because acting kind of at times hinder your lock up, but that’s about all, I do, for it blade centering for anyone who cares this one’s actually pretty well centered.
Now, on to the actual blade, as far as it goes and at retention, this is, of course a 154cm version, so this isn’t anything special. I know they’ve made some like s30v CPM, 20v blades and higher-end Steel’s for the grip, Tilian and I’m sure those work just like CPM, s30v, normally works or just how CPM 20v normally works in itself, but the 154cm on this works pretty well. I did get one off knife of a bench made barrage that I still have, which was my second bench made – that I think they over heat treated, because that one is really hard to put an edge on.
But I have a few, a CPM or not CPM but 154cm from bench made and they overall they don’t hold an edge forever, but they do sharpen up pretty fast and pretty easily this one included and it holds an edge for at least an amount of time. It’s not the most amazing steel, but it’s definitely better than something like 440 C or even vg10. In my opinion, and so edge retention is pretty good in that regard, the overall blade on this.
I think I would have enjoyed a lot more had it been a plain edge and I do actually really like the 550 in-plane edge. This serration version. A serrated version is not the worst in the world. It definitely in an EDC. Type of format does perform pretty. Okay, like you, can see how well the serrations weren’t able to chew through, like cardboard once again, rope things like paper. It kind of struggles with because there’s just so many angles of contact with a serrated blade that it can cause the paper or thinner material.
So you’re trying to cut to kind of like crinkle instead of just slicing right to brew it other than that. Like I said, I really don’t have any complaints, I find the blade length to be just fine for most EDC tasks. Personally, I’ve always been more a fan of these kinds of more wider and larger blades, so like with this 940 here you can see how kind of like pencil then this 940 is and some people they love just having like a really thin blade, but I tend To like knives that are more like that they’re Tilian here and more like this Sebenza that have more kind of width to them to just overall, they seem like larger, more well-built nice.
It’s not does it. This is not a well-built knife. I’m sure this is but this overall kind of gives more of a just feel like you’re, actually holding more of a knife, and I kind of like that in a knife personally and that’s more aesthetics, so anyways, that’s basically all I have to say on the bench Made 550 grip Tilian with this awesome, lanyard mod that I did to it and that’s basically all I have to say on it.
As always, god bless and I’m not
What are you eating? Check out the video below to find out about a healthy snack.
This is the open, L, carbon steel and it’s the number seven it’s made of beechwood and, of course, like I mentioned, the blade is carbon steel. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to do a carbon steel blade or if I wanted to do a stainless steel, and I opted to get both this one. I got locally because it was available and this is the number seven and then I also recently got it still in the box, but I thought I’d show that as well.
I got this off of Amazon. This is a number eight and this is done in olive wood, so open that up just a little off camera here and I’ll show you the difference in size and the difference in wood. Here we go so this is the unit move that down and it’s done in a stainless steel blade and it’s done in olive wood, and this would be the number eight which is always labeled there on the rim. Now, on this little locking mechanism, it’s really interesting knife.
So if they didn’t have this locking mechanism, I’m just going to turn this back to Center this one’s a bit tight, then it would just be up-and-down, and originally the knives from opinel were like that they were just a nice piece of wood. You would open up the blade, I mean notice, I’m doing this with two hands, because this one’s quite stiff, this would be it. The blade would stay open when you’re pushing applying pressure on it.
Obviously it wouldn’t go back down, but there would be a chance that it could end up opening up in your pocket, and so I’m assuming just with that in mind and I believe around world war ii opinel invented this little lock ring. And this allows you to turn the ring right there, as I just did, which will lock the blade from opening and if you have it opened it will then lock the blade from closing and i’ve seen a lot of articles out.
There were people put in. Quite a lot of pressure downwards on this to try to force that – and this does a really good job. This locking locking does really a job. So here we can say the blade of the olive wood. It says in ox which I believe in French is translated to like na trustable in aqsa dibala. I may be wrong, so excuse my friendship. I honk it is a nice nice, somewhat shiny, blade. I’ve heard a few things about the the difference between the blades.
So I’m going to leave this open with the olive wood and I’ll open up the number seven besides a size. That’s why I wasn’t sure which blade to go with and or I wasn’t sure which steel to go with, and then this is the number seven. This one is the number eight. This is a standard model here. This is beech. Wood, like I said this is olive wood. The beech wood comes quite standard with the base models, and these are not.
These are quite reasonable. This one particular one, I believe, is about twelve dollars and maybe less on some stores cost me about twelve dollars plus tax. This one was closer to twenty, because the carbon steel requires a little bit more maintenance. Some people aren’t really fancy to it. The stainless steel doesn’t require it won’t rust, whereas the carbon steel could potentially rust. So there are a lot of youtubers that will put some form of acid on the blade to force a patina, and if you don’t do that as long as you like make sure that it’s not in a moist setting it’s it’s staying dry, then over time.
It will develop its own patina, which can be really nice. The other really nice thing about carbon steel and I readed another YouTube article and if I remember the name I’ll put it up in a little box at the top here. But they were talking about how they like their the the flat edge at the back. And I’m going to close the knife, so I can show you with the knife, closed and locked, there’s this flat edge here and you could use that.
Let me just make sure it’s in focus. You could use that against a striking pad of some sorts, a flint per se, to start a fire where it’s a stainless steel. You wouldn’t be able to do that, so that can be really nice if you were taking this out camping. I also, if I’m honest with you for EDC I’ve had these for about a week now, both of them I’ve carried the carbon. I got this one first, so this one less than a week, but but for the most part a week for both I’ve carried this one for a few days in my pocket and I’ve carried the number eight, this number seven fits perfectly in my pocket.
It disappears. I don’t notice it. I’ve used it to go down and open up some parcels that have arrived. I’ve taken it with me to open up other forms. I’ve had to cut some other things randomly, and this has been great. There have no problems with it. Like I said, it’s super lightweight disappears in the pocket now the number 8, though I think the number 8 fits my hand a little bit better. It’s just it’s almost the perfect size for the hand and the blade length is really nice with it.
It’s because they obviously take it and scale it up. The wood is quite the circumference of the wood is quite a lot bigger, and this means that there’s a bulge in the pocket. So I don’t. I don’t like this much as much in my pocket as I do like the the number 7, so you can see in my pocket. I don’t have these technically together in my pocket. I may have it with my lip job. There’s some burpees! That’s about half the size, so comparing it with the number 8, then I could take the number 8 out now I’ll.
Take this one out place it. You can see that it is much taller right, but it’s more the circumference! I don’t know if I can put these on top of the circumference of the knife is bigger. Now between the Steel’s, I’m really fancying the carbon steel. I like things a patina. I like the fact that it has a few other purposes that you could use it for, especially for EDC and for camping reasons, and I think I like the fact that the number 7 is a little easier to carrier carry.
I wish that the carbon steel was offered with different woods. That’s my wish. I really like this olive wood. I, like the walnut out there, there’s lots of different wood options. You can choose, but carbon steel is only offered from my understanding right now on opinel. It’s only offered on the beech wood and it’s a standard blade, which means it is the base model and then, of course, these things can go up as high as like few hundred dollars, depending on that not necessarily the type of stainless steel, but whether it’s polished And the type of wood you can get wood all the way from Africa, olive wood from the Mediterranean.
You can get oak dark oak lots of things. You can even get a blade. That’s black, like a black stainless steel blade. So those are those knives. My first impression is I like them. I think these things are great, like I said, really lightweight both of them. Obviously, the heavier models will go up. The wood mate depending up you won’t go with a stainless steel. Knee just ride, decide to change the wood.
The wood may be a little denser than other woods, but both of these woods are quite light. They fit really nice in the hands. I like them, locking mechanism when it’s locked the blades not going to go anywhere. I will say that the carbon steel came out of the box with a super-sharp and it’s it’s still ridiculously sharp and the seal is still not so much, and I’ve heard other viewers talk about that as well.
Like I said, these are very reasonably priced. Any of these would be fine. I’m heard lots of viewers that have had a stainless steel for years and then just decided hobby wise to go to carbon. I think I’m most likely going to stick with this more as an EDC. I may or might not keep this or may or just put in my camping kit or may even give it to a friend as a gift, because they’re quite reasonable.
If you have any questions about open all knives, I’m going to put some links for both of these in the descriptions below both of those links are where I purchased the knives. So you can follow those I’ll put something up, put a link for the actual website of opinel, so you can look through there. The knife I’d like to get is the gardener’s knife, which has a nice rounding handle on it, but the one thing that I would like to see it again as I’d like to see if it if it eventually came with a carbon blade from so I’m going To show you in the package that first came with this says Boy Scouts of Canada, and it looks like this is like a bench and leather, because it’s slowly fading.
I’ve used it for these last couple years. Camping and it’s been great, but it was a little whiter prior to me using it and if I take it out of its sheath and just move that to the side. This is the knife here, so it came with this original string there. It says Boy Scouts of Canada that it that is, and it ends up focusing. It’s got some brass, I believe, on the sides here, some brass rivets looks like it’s a stainless steel.
You can see some patina on the knife and a nice hole. It is quite heavy, especially after carrying the opinel knives. As far as the knife goes, we’ve got a knife section. This is going to be a longer knife than the open, L and I’ll try to lower that down. I don’t know much about knives to talk about like the belly and all that or the blade or the or where the edges is I’m just I’m new to all of this thumb things I was just doing some research to get a knife that would be to Replace this for weight reasons, but also to replace this, because it’s not holding an edge very well.
You can see it’s stainless steel made in China, so I don’t know if that’s talking about the quality of this, like I said it’s a boyscout blade, it does lock. The locking mechanism is down here. You can push on the locking mechanism and then it folds back in, and it also has a saw so I’ll – show you that so I was a little stiffer to get out. There’s your saw bottle opener and a flathead screwdriver.
In the end I have used the saw when I was boy scouting to do a couple fires and to chop down some specific kind of wood and again it locks as well. So you push would have to push the lock and then you could pull the back in and that’s it. I comes with a nice sheath there. It is in comparison to size to the open Elle’s. We can just put them on the ends there and you can see this is the biggest knife here.
That’s my knife collection. I wish I wouldn’t have got these if this would have held an edge to be honest with you just because the history also my grandpa’s knife somewhere. It’s a foldable knife like a Swiss Army knife, if I find it out I’ll do another article, but if anybody out there knows information on this type, if this was mass-produced or knows anything about the type of knife it is. I love.
Let me know in the comments below some information or put put send this article to someone specific and we can get in touch just because I really like the knife and I’d like to learn more about it. And potentially I’d like to keep this. For a long time, in the meantime, I’m most likely going to keep the seven I find that easier in the pocket, and I really like the carbon blade, there’s nothing wrong with the stainless steel blade.
It’s just that it requires obviously a bit more work here to sharpen it. I really like the wood, and I wanted to check out a number eight number eight. By the way, going back is probably the most popular size that’s been ever sold by opinel. It was considered just the perfect size for people’s hands. Number eight or number seven would be for smaller hands, but for a lot of this lightweight EDC carry in your pocket with less things.
This is really nice. I do agree, though this feels a little bit more comfortable in the hand. If you got any questions, any comments please leave them below and if you’re new to my blog feel free to subscribe, like the article give it a thumbs up, you
Knives and daggers are awesome! Plain and simple, right? Let me say, I enjoy my dagger collection with a little music playing in the background.
How this all came about was unpicked was reading a movie Cool Hand Luke and, in this movie Cool Hand Luke. I think the Paul Newman Character was able to chop his ankle chains and free himself with an axe and three strokes.
Today, we’re going to put that to the test For this test, we’re going to use some standard logging chain. I believe that this is 5/16 pretty heavy-duty stuff and The axe that we’re going to be using is, of course, a heavy duty chopping. Ask -axe of the basque design. I chose this one because it has a lot of weight to it and a big cutting area. So let’s put it up on the Block and see what happens So, our first chop We’re going to use a big-.
This is about a 6×8 Doug Fir piece of cribbing, And I’m just going to go directly onto the wood and to see -this is a pretty heavy chain. I don’t know if Paul Newman’s chain was going to be. It was quite this heavy, but we’ll see what happens. I fear that it’s going to push it into the block, If that happens, we’ll put start putting some harder surfaces on there, but let’s give a swing and and find out We’ll Glove up here.
…. Alright, let’s see… [ Chuckles ]. I don’t know about this. That might be some Hollywood, but we’ll see Oh Man, What happened there, So that was as hard as I could swing…. Got- it aimed- right there hit right where I was aiming there right across that link, And the problem is that the force of the axe pressed the chain down into the wood, and it just wasn’t enough backing there [ Chuckles ] That really pushed it in There that you can see.
.. Where’d, we strike right there, So we got through not very far, not very far at all, probably about 35… 35 % through the chain. So, let’s put a little bit harder surface on there, a little chunk of plywood and try it again and see what happens All right if we put a little piece of plywood across [ t ] here that that’s pretty hard We’re going across the grain rather than Into it and I’ll get a new piece of chain here and hopefully hit it Right there.
.. See, if that doesn’t, do it, Okay, going to go right there for that one, pretty small target here Hard as I can go…, Oh Goodness, That is a lot Of force and that didn’t work very well, either It just mashed it down into the plywood Boy. I’d say if you were on a Florida chain gang and you had a block of wood, to cut your leg shackles with you might Well, you might be there awhile. There might be a better option.
Okay, there we can see So that right there actually cut through even less than the first one That -I thought that that would have Been harder than that Well, there’s only one thing left to do and that’s to put a really hard surface down, which is going to be a little bit hard on the axe, But…. We can always fix that. Alright, how about a piece of mild steel? What if we put a mild steel on there, That’s certainly not going to press through This was the first strike.
The second strike, the third one… We’ll try to go right through there To see. If we can chop through that in one hit, Even against the wood, you can see we’re getting uh, certainly getting a little bit of damage on that axe, but still plenty of edge there. I don’t think we have any prob-. I think it’s definitely sharp enough, but let’s see what happens here, You know what I’m going to put some safety glasses on There.
We go hard as I can. What happened there? Oh goodness, look at that that did indeed cut through that chain-link. Look at that. It cut all the way through on one side and Almost all the way through. On the other side, You can see the first two strikes here. It looks like maybe hit the same piece right there, But I want to see if we would like to see if it’s possible to cut through that chain in one strike.
Let’s try it again. Let me see if I can swing it even harder That steel on there Will cut, try to cut through this one right here. It doesn’t have any Nick’s in it right. There See what we’ve got there yeah again. Look at that! That’s a pretty amazing! That’s a clean cut right through that that deal, But it didn’t cut all the way through I’d like to see if we could get it one Chop. If I hit it perfectly and hard enough, I’ve bent our bar there a little bit hard enough.
I think We could actually do it. There’s a lot of force there a lot of force. Let’s see, let’s try this piece right here. Okay, let’s give it all. We got a one chop through a logging chain And a piece of steel. The white Dodge pickup, a lot of folks, have been asking about that. If I got a new rig, It’s not mine, it belongs to a friend of mine, Who is one of the volunteers, for the fire department He’s putting a new transmission and he doesn’t have a shop to work in so he’s.
That’s why it’s here he’s just finishing up putting a new new tranny in and exhaust system. So If you were wondering okay, let’s pull this tight, I Really liked it would like to chop this I’ll. Try it one more time And see if we can get all the way through it, nice big heavy axe. Oh we did it. Let’s take a look at that, so it is possible. It is definitely possible. It works Sure enough. So I guess Paul Newman actually could have chopped his chains off with an axe.
There’s a link. You can see, there’s a certainly the two pieces and That’s good to know. I guess I’m surprised, I didn’t think I didn’t think you could chop through that with one hit, but boy that axe sure put to Put the hurt on that flat bar. Let’s take a look at the edge. I’ve been really impressed with these Basque Axes. You know a little bit of chipping right there, nothing that can’t be repaired actually quite easily, But that is very interesting.
You Know what I would really like to know is: can you cut a big fat cable with an axe? You know all those movies where they cut the cable, So here’s an old logging choker, That’s pretty much served. Its purpose is starting to fray and every time I grab it. Stabs me in the hand, I’ll be glad to get rid of it, But I always read, though you see those old movies where they’re like a fishing boat or the old Sailing ships or whatever they were, there, always get the axe.
You know something It’s it’s dragging the ship down And they always have an axe at the ready and they cut through those gigantic cables. On that I don’t know about that. This stuff is pretty tough, but let’s try it and see. This is probably about a Maybe a 5 – that’s probably a 3/8 cable. So it’s not an insignificant bit of cable. But let’s put that up on here and see if that will indeed chop in one hit: Okay 3/8 cable hard, as I can How’bout that Indeed an axe will definitely cut a cable, it’s multi-strands there, it cut through all of them, except for one little piece.
So that’s that’s, definitely a truth too Yeah that actually cuts pretty simple. There huh that’s kind of interesting, So there we have it. I hope that answers your question. Unpicked and axe will indeed cut through a Logging chain in one stroke, as well as a stranded cable. So Well that was fun I’ll spend the next hour working the chips out of that axe. So, just to to tell you guys, what’s been going on lately, So I haven’t been putting up a lot of articles because, as as you know, I’ve been on two wildland fires And I’m.
I guess I’m happy to report that I think wildland season is over. For the year It has been raining solid for two days I talked to the guys that are on the fire and they’re pretty much pulling everything and wrapping up and everyone’s under the Pretty much in agreement that the season in this area at least, is completely over. Just starting to get snow on the mountains, I think it looks like to the north.
There Mount Fuji. There is starting to get a fresh cap on it and it’s just incredible how quickly the seasons change when we were just sweltering in the heat on that fire. Back to tin, pants and warm clothes and long johns and getting ready for winter, so there’s a look, got a whole bunch of stuff To share with you guys, We’ll be finishing, bringing in the firewood We’ll be doing some work with the firewood processor.
I got a whole bunch of stuff to get ready for winter. It’s just today’s. I don’t want to get out there and do it, because it’s raining and it’ll stop here in a few days And we’ll get out there and get those last things finalized. We got a whole new load of logging, a log truckload of some really great wood That I’m splitting with a couple of the guys at the volunteer fire department. We got some nice lodgepole from the Warm Springs Indian Reservation, That is a bone dry, so that lodgepole makes really wonderful, firewood, smells great And we’ll be cutting that a bunch of that here pretty soon Anything else to report, I’m really enjoying the poison oak that I Picked up from the fire We, I have it on my neck and covering about a third of my body And that’s always a good time, if any of you guys have a recipe To give me some relief from that.
I would be all ears because it is absolutely miserable If you’ve ever had it in this area. It feels What it feels like these little like little drops of acid Wherever it is all of your body, And I knew it. You know it happens to me every time the same way, And I knew I was going to get it. What I, what we do is we have the all those fire hoses and we drag them around through through the forest, and It’s got that poison oak all over and that oil gets on that fire hose and when we were doing a back haul, we’re pulling All That hose and bringing it back in when we were done with it, You know we were throwing those big bundles up on her shoulder and I got it all over my neck And I don’t know if it’s spreading and I’ve got it on my legs and on My arms and it’s just hateful, It’s absolutely people.
What else was there something else someone to share with you? Oh The van the welding, so I’ve got a welder coming Brian who, But you guys, know Brian. He works for me a couple days a week. He’s actually he’s a pretty good TIG welder. Apparently he hasn’t done aluminum, but he’s done a lot of steel and chromoly Doing bicycle frames. We’ve got a Lincoln welder coming that we’ll be able to do TIG And I’ve never done it before so we’ll do some articles on that and kind of I’ll be curious to see how how well Me not ever being able to not welding with TIG.
I can get up to speed on that. I’ve always been something I’ve always wanted to try. So we’ll share that experience as well. Maybe Brian can share a few tips with us that he’s picked up. He seems to be pretty well checked out on it, But I guess that’s it. So, thanks for reading and we’ll see you guys on the next article

Is it to your face, hi guys in shade when I could shit? What do you want to see on? My truck brings up an odd, so I’m going to write down this little laptop screen back up my computer a little bit, and hopefully you get all this crap in doing now.
So I’m just doing this all a bit so Kylie. This is the knife. This is a spyderco sent a font day. Three all right knife. I really love it when my favorite EDC knives, who said get some piece of paper cardboard got my sharpening stones. This is a the Senate. Would so no course fine. We have the exhibition stone. Get these ellos whatever course fine again do we have to dmt diet, sharps four inches in a ceramic rod along with a green leather shop, the card shop with the green compound and another special strap.
I had white compound. So that’s what I will be using sharpen. My knife make sure to get this cardboard in here, but alright, so i’ve been using my knife quite a bit lately so sharp it is at the moment so get to it white shark. So instead just read this piece of paper. If you did gone so now, i’m going to damage the edge. This is the will see that 22 well course sizes own run. I really hate doing this, but that’s been done so i’m going to show it is complete.
Now we’re going to start sharpening going to use this stone the coarse side of the regular whetstone they get to it. I don’t know that much to say about this. One is keeping a pretty good angle. I usually keep one at the front, a stirring, obviously using this very stone, to reestablish an edge because I pretty much this flattened. Is it just pretty much non existing, and so I started on the stone, so this pretty much building CB grindage.
Once again, I’m going to bother using the front side of the stone, because it’s only about 80 grit finer. So why were I of established that I have a rough edge? I will then be switching over to my Smits. Four sided stone go ahead with some hot bandana, because doing this will get a bit of steel on your knife in on some and do have a fairly good, decent asian would get tip a little bit more. My jeans, you and that’s good, so I said we’re going to move on to the smiths course I’d zone.
The same side was just run when I and then again. Let’s keep that low angle. Chapter / like six, but the three of those days ever just keep going back and forth. Do a couple more houses here on that bandana read the edge still deliver up with my computer to the die here in establish creating decent edge start on the five side of the Smith; stone, yes, suck it down the stretch, PVC, mine notice, I’m being very careful, Not this round that tip off of the zone because that could actually round the tip those who is kind of new sharpening, I know, probably doesn’t want to trust each rep tional article, but I figured why I’m doing this, my throne, a couple tips early.
I hope you don’t mind, make sure don’t cut my bandana here and work a little bit or towards that picasso area at the bottom. This quite dull, that’s good! So now we’re done with this myth stone right here now we’re going to start with the fine dmt diet. Shark porn stone is all you who always ask me for opening articles. This is pretty much a sharper than most fuckin eyes now. I might need to take them about sender once in a while to reflow file an edge we’re to fix something that severely damaged.
If this don’t aim to do the most part is what I need now bigger blades. I do prefer the convex edge. The toy shop is Max’s, but for most fixed blade, knives organized. I do use this much. That’s! What’s long run, it’s fine sound because difference in grit that Smith, slides down in the beam t find some is only about a hundred, so it is through done as an extra precaution, I’m very nicely we’re going to use the it’s that extra find some.
This is route 1200 great, so it’s very fun. It’s in my smooth edge on the ledge, not so much longer here. I know it’s probably going to be extremely long article, but I’m glad I’m able to do this on a webcam because it would take me hours. Look be a article plow down my pants and verifies so moving on to the ceramic rod being very careful not to round that tube of the stone or that rock student because reviews this keep on sweating, I’m like that.
You will have to go and repro file on the tip go with that move it onto the green shop blog check. This stop the stone. So, let’s just play it off done with the green step right there put onto the white now. This white is right around 5,000 grit, five or six thousand. So it’s with a very fine. You can find this at Sears of the way and the green see yours slows a piece of paper right here: okay, they’re most part, I got ta pee save the cardboard here.
Wait, Tyler! One of the situation was this as well. This really thick cardboard by the way so Kylie you want to thank you for giving me opportunity to enter into this contest here film by gamma, as I said, really appreciate the opportunity here in this contest.
