Central Ky Bushcraft

Registrace 11. 03. 2019
This channel is for people who love the outdoors. First, I'm NO EXPERT, what I show may not be what some consider the right way or even the best way but this is what I was taught or what I've learned. AND I'M STILL LEARNING as we all should be. I'm located in Central Ky and have spent my whole life running around in the woodlands of this area. As I've gotten older I have gotten to the point where I would love pass on some of what I have learned to others and as well as hopefully encourage others to get out in the woods. Thank you for your interest and I hope we can continue to learn together.
FIUF #31

In this video I try my hand (for the 2ND time) at the Bluegrass Bushcraft Coffee Challange. And I do it with my Wife's Great Grand-father's coffee pot. The best I can tell is that it was made sometime between 1925 and 1945. Plus, I give an update on the Gathering and events.

First Impressions of the CASE XX USMC Fighting Knife
zhlédnutí 1,2KPřed 5 měsíci
In this video I give my first impression of the CASE XX USMC fighting knife. Case was never awarded a contract to produce what has become known as the Ka-Bar fighting knife but in 1992 they started producing a copy of the knife they presented to the military for testing. I am very impressed with the construction of this knife and am very happy to add it to my collection.

@@jasonaffeldt7838 Thanks brother. Hope y’all do as well! Thanks for watching
All I can say is, damn! Think throws big enough spark you could probably go hunting with that darn thing!
@@donoakes3928 Lol. To be a small rod it’s very impressive. Thanks for watching
🔥🔥Happy Fire it up Friday 🔥 🔥
@@papaspage2001 Same to you and thanks for watching
happy fatwood Friday mate, one and done, I love Joe's work with the ferro rod set.
@@waveman0 Best way to do it! They are definitely a great set! Going to have to find out what brand ferro rod it is. Thanks for watching
One and done! Done like ya been doing it all your life brother! Good to see you bavk and making vids again!

I haven't see a posting from Joe in a while.
@@NathansFerroceriumrods1 I haven’t either since you mentioned it. Thanks for watching
Good seeing you Dave.
@@michaelbrunner6654 Thanks brother and thanks for watching
I really love the jg3 and the 4hm. They are great knives. The jg3 will make you leave your azula at home… at least it did for me
@@Hudson4426 It did the same for me as well. As for the HM series of ESEE’s, I’ve never had a chance to use them. But from what I hear I may have to track one down. Thanks for watching
Holy smoke, that was some rough luck. Glad it’s behind you and the Mrs. They say it’s the tough times that remind us to appreciate the good times but when you go through all the stuff you’ve been through I’d say it’s just a blessing to get back to normal and sleep in your own bed.
@@scotthill6807 you have no idea!!!! Thanks for watching
I also bought a kydex sheath for mine… turned the leather one into a strop
@@Hudson4426 The kydex really ups the game with this knife that’s for sure. Interesting use of the old sheath. Thanks for watching
From what I’ve heard they stopped blade stamping the manufacturer and model was out of concern it weakened the blade’s integrity
@@austen2929 I read that as well. Thanks for watching
Good grief you're not joking about that bad luck business.
@@TressaZimmerman Lol. Amen!! Thanks for watching

@@terryw.milburn8565 thank you sir. We greatly appreciate it. It’s been a rough couple of months. Thanks for watching
Great to see you brother. I am so sorry y'all had all that happened. Most of all I am glad y'all are okay. And back home hopefully things will get back to normal for y'all. My prayer train is always going strong.. can't wait to see your next video. Stay safe and God Bless much love and respect always
@@alicarroll8236 thank you ma’am. We greatly appreciate it. We’re happy to be home as well. The hardest thing to deal with is just how close it came to being a different outcome. Thanks for watching
I was watching your esee3 video on Friday, when you talked about using a heat gun to secure the hold a little better without a lot of rattle. I was talking with my wife about your video and i told her i really like your videos and i recently made a Kydex sheath for my esee3 and was wondering if i made another for your esee3 ,if you'd give me your honest opinion/ review of it, I'll make it, and send it to you Free
@@tonyvillarreal3610 I would be ve happy to do a review of your work. The only problem is that I no longer have my ESEE 3. Thanks for watching
Oh boy, well do you have any other knives you like to carry or would like to carry on a more regular basis let me know and I can fix up a good Kydex sheath for you
@@tonyvillarreal3610 I do have one, it’s my Prather War Bowie. The original sheath was crap and may have lasted a year. And the custom leather sheath I have is not user friendly for work. Let me know what you think.
@@CentralKyBushcraft I can do one for your knife but I don't have that knife ,if you send it to me I can make a sheath for it and send it back
@@tonyvillarreal3610 sounds like a plan. Send me a email with your info at centralkybushcraft@yahoo.com
I hope things start to go better for you now. Thank you for sharing this with us, Dave. Stay safe and stay cool
Thanks, we appreciate it! Thanks for watching
Just ordered one from Blade HQ for 39.99 Thanks for the video!
That’s a good price! I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. Thanks for watching
,,hiya David,, man oh man glad to hear everything is getting back to normal for you guys,, the bullet holes in the wall oh my ,, thank the lord for watching over you & your family,,
Amen!!! Megan has had a rough time with it all. Like she told me, she signed up to listen to me talk about my job but not to have it happen in our front yard. Thanks for watching
Oh my goodness! You all have had a time of it! So glad that you are back!
Like Hee-Haw use to sing, if it weren’t for bad luck I’d have no luck at all!! Lol. Glad to be back. Thanks for watching
Good to see you back at home Dave. Nice to hear your healed up and back to work. You and your wife have had some interesting times for sure. Hope the rest of 2024 goes much smoother for your family. Take care.🇺🇲🔪🌲🔥
We’re glad to be back home! It’s been a ride for sure! I hope so too but it’s not looking like it’s going to change right now. I’ve been back to work 3 days and got bit by a dog trying to serve some papers. Lol. Thanks for watching
Holy cow! Man you and your wife have been thru alot. Thank God you are both ok and back in the house. Welcome back my friend. You and your family stay safe, stay healthy and God Bless brother
God is good that’s for sure! It was a scary night for us that’s for sure. We’re glad to be back home and working on normal again. Thanks for watching
@@CentralKyBushcraft yes he is! Oh i bet you folks are glad to be back in your own home. You are very welcome as always my friend. You stay safe out there brother! God Bless
Great to see you back Dave
Well.... I'm glad to hear you guys survived these events 😮 , dang glad your home 🙏 ❤️
Nornal is always welcome
Take care
Sorry to hear all the crap you went though
Thanks Tom. Like I said, you can’t make this crap up. And to add to it, I was back to work 3 days a went to serve a paper and got dog bit. Lol. Thanks for watching
I'm glad you were able to get back still in one piece! You've surely been through the ringer!
Still never received my knife 🔪prize ?
@@alexbrown6624 I’m sorry. I never got a email or message from you with your information. After a month of not hearing anything. I split the second place prize between the first and third place winners. Again, I’m sorry.
@@CentralKyBushcraft very strange ?
@@CentralKyBushcraft l put it down to me being in the U.K. 🇬🇧 l even pm you a message ?
@alexbrown6624 yes it is! I’m sorry brother. But you’re right, I’m not sure what it would have taken to get it sent to the UK
I'm not a bushcrafter , but use the 3 & 6 for hunting and general outdoors use. Thanks for your video and all the best.
Case is one if not the only knife brand that is fully made and produced in the USA. I love case, always have. It’s sad to think that old timer and K-BAR both are now made and produced in China with extremely cheap metal. I honestly hate China so much because they ruin so many and have ruined so many used to be good brands. Gotta love case though, they didn’t and haven’t sold out to anyone.
I’ve got several Case knives and every one has a sentimental story to go with it. A good USA made knife is hard to beat. Thanks for watching
@@CentralKyBushcraft agreed, no problem.
Nice knife. Great story.
Ok, ok, subbed!
Lol! Glad to have you aboard! Thanks for watching
I think it's called a turkish clip point , also i reckon if they would have released it with a satin or polished finish every reviewer would have said it's the best woods camp knife. Put a black or bead blast finish on a blade these days and automatically it's a combat knife. Any knife can be a combat knife it's the person holding the handle that makes it a weapon. I've seen pictures of old American bowies that look identical to this knife in profile.
I’ve heard it referred to as a Turkish or a California clip. Not sure which is correct. I agree with you. It all depends on the person using it. To use an old quote that I’ve heard over the years, “Beware the man who only uses one weapon, because he knows how to use it !” Thanks for watching
Bro ESSE in my opinion is the best USA knife, and knife company ever... If anyone is looking for any fixes blade it's ESSE... ALL DAY, EVERY DAY... BTW... no one needs to see your nut sac/package... Change your camera angle... What a freaking turnoff... For guys at least
Polish the handle with boot polish. I am likely one of the last to have been issued this knife (it's more of a dagger). I was issued one of these by the ROKA Rangers in 1977. It was the best throwing knife/dagger with good weight to it with good steel. Without the bayonet hole punch, it is extremely well balanced. I personally think it's more like a dagger instead of a knife because of it's much better weight aerodynamics when compared to "knives or K-Bars". I wish I could find a few today as they made for great consistent flight throwing fun.
Thanks for the info, I’ll try that and see if it tightens up. I agree, it’s more of a dagger design than a field knife design. I can see where it would excel in stabbing and throwing. Thank you for your service and thanks for watching
@@CentralKyBushcraft The m-3 and it's like bladed bayonet cousins, all had/have more penetrating power than an average style knife. It would be much more difficult to try penetrating a soldier's clothing, parka, coat or pile cap with a standard style knife blade, yet the thin dynamics of the m-3 and like bayonets makes that task more easy to push in. And... though throwing is always a bad idea, most of us just loved that pastime, but it hits like a brick and has very flat stable flight characteristics with no spin needed out to about 12 feet. I'm just an old guy enjoying your shows, Thx!
I just bought one on Amazon Canada and the next day it went up $30. It's a nice knife but the price is ridiculous. They now want $240 which is absolutely ridiculous.
I agree with you there! I gave around $120 for mine I believe ( to be honest I don’t remember). They are now up to about $150ish at Smoky Mountain Knife Works. I love mine but I don’t know if I’d give the new price for one. Thanks for watching
Do Cold Steel Kraton handles hydrolyze?
I wish I had an answer for you but I don’t. Sorry. Thanks for watching
I have a CS Drop Forged Survivalist for about €90,-- Now, I really like the looks of Esee6 a lot, but they cost more than 2 times the price, about €210,-- over here. Sincere question : Is the Esee6 really 2 times 'better'? Stronger? Tougher? Stays sharp longer? Thanks in advance to all responders! Greets from the Netherlands 🇳🇱, TW.
The cold steel survivalist series are made from great steel if my memory is correct, 52-100. I can say that the ESEE-6 is tough! I’ve batonned it through hunks of wood where the blade was bowed and it straightened back out with it came out. I’ve reprofiled the edge on mine to 20 degrees and haven’t had any issues. I’m not sure what the exchange rate is over there but every once in a while you can fine knife only deals for less than $100 here. Thanks for watching
@@CentralKyBushcraft : thanks, appreciate it 👍
Thank you so much! 🙏
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching
Every time I sharpen a coldsteel knife to 25 degrees, it chips .love my srk though !
I had the same issues with the one I had in AUS-8. It would chip or roll. So far no issues with this one. Thanks for watching
Can I kill a bear with this knife?
I would advise against it! Lol
These are insanely good for the money. In these tight times, that's a real winner.
I agree completely! Only thing is to make sure you get a SK-5 version instead of a AUS-8 version. The AUS-8 version has a tendency to roll its edge when honed to a razors edge. Thanks for watching
Thank you! A very great idea! You have wisdom!
Dang brother sorry to hear y'all going through so much stuff
