#best #knife #2022 - Zábava
Got the jääkäripuukko on me ALL the time. I got it because of you guys a few years ago and i still absolutly love it because it never let me down while using it almost every day. Thank you for that! Much love :)
same here , I beat the $h3t out of mine daily , still shaves hair and slices paper
Same here! Got the 85mm and the 110mm version and the are awesome. Maybe not the best looking knifes, but if I could just grab one knife for a trip it would be one of those (or maybe the Skrama).
@O'Irish McMan Nice! My second one just came in the mail yesterday!
Just ordered mine. Really hoping it's everything I've come to expect based on what I've heard.
@@peterfryer6915 you won't be dissapointed. There really is no knife better than this for this price.
“If you have the Puukko you won’t be using it for work!”
Heresy in Finnish intensifies…..
I know my endorsement doesn’t mean squat, but I’ve been carrying a cold steel AD-10 for several years, and it has held up really well.
I’m a truck mechanic, and my hobby is bushcraft, I regularly use the AD-10 for both tasks.
Plus it doesn’t look out of place when I take the family out to dinner at a nice restaurant.
Same. 👍
G'day mate, yep good knife by all accounts. Mind you, they'd be diving under the tables if I took one to a restaurant here, lol. Cheers Duke.
@@eyeofthetiger4184 why would anyone be diving under the tables at the sight of a 91mm blade?
@@mikeborrelli193 G'day Mike, here in Aus you can be locked up for carrying a SAK down the street if you cant show a legal reason for carry. A proper folder, in a restaurant, is bound to suggest violent intent. I dont say I agree with it, that's just how it is. Cheers Duke.
@@eyeofthetiger4184 Sounds like a prison colony ..
Come on guys! Best steel, ELMAX. Best knife, the DBK Bushcrafter!!!
I appreciate the the video was prefaced with “for our uses”. As everyone’s best knife will be different. The Jakariipukko is a lot of knife for not a lot of money, I like mine for yard tasks.
Hi guys, would really help us new knife lovers if you listed the knifes you mentioned. Thanks 😊
It sure is a phenomenal time to be a knife user and enthusiast! As always I love hearing you guys opinion!
Thanks for all the great videos guys (the video finally worked, and it was great just like I knew it would be).
The best knife is the one you have with you :)
But if I had to choose something... it will be Hogue Deka in Magnacut and one, not overly expensive custom fixed blade in 3V, A8Mod or 80crv2.
hey Guys , my new favorite knife is the TOPS BRUSH WOLF . it would be cool to see y'all review it.
I feel like the Gossip Tree lulled me into a sense of comfort with a Podcast style episode, but it was a great one! A smoothly edited well structured conversation, with very little usable info.
Love you guys, and most of my knife opinions seem to come from you.
Jaakripuuko was what jumped out when I read the title.
Another bonus of this knife is that because its so cheap and utilitarian looking, you are not afraid to really push it to its limits which adds aditional use.
I have a wonderful Spyderco Bushcraft(which you NEED to review one day.) and honestly know I would hesitate to do the prying I would with the Jaakaripuuko.
I know its been discontinued but a review of the Spyderco Bushcraft would guarantee get a LOTf views
Great video guys, really appreciate the effort. Much love, take care, and thank you 👍🏻
My latest is an LT Wright Genesis in 3V.
Beautiful knife. I love the show. The destruction you bring is unmatched in the knife game!!
As usual, great video!
Have the Mora Companion HD, the Mora Garberg (stainless) and the Jääkäripuukko 140(I'm a big guy lol)
The HD is my backup, the Garberg is left in my backpack and and the Jääkäripuukko is the one I throw on my belt, and use for everything bushcrafty.
The leather sheath of the Jääkäripuukko is classy enough I never get second looks when out in public (and I live in a city full of Karen's, Sacramento California)
Lol stalker
My two knives I always have with me in my bag is the BK2 and the Benchmade Bushman. I've had both of them for years.
Got like 4 mora companion HD and 3 mora robust... got a mora in my car, my work van, my go bags, and my camping/backpacking pack.
Are there better knives? Yes. Is there a better VALUE in the knife world? Haven't seen anything close.
I'd rather have 4 or 5 good knives than 1 amazing knife that could always be lost or stolen or break and then you're screwed.
Same,got 3 Companion carbon,all with different regrind.
My Exact choices also. I own the complete Morakniv line of knives but the "Robust" is the best value followed closely by the "Companion H.D. ".💪💪💪
@@luisloya1120 no doubt! If you manage to break either of those you're using it wrong hahaha but luckily you're only out $20 or less if you do.
The robust is what I give out as a loner knife for a reason
Fair enough mate, value for sure !!! I have a couple myself, great for yard work, car knife or a "safe" car camp. I wouldn't be taking one as a primary knife deep into the woods though. Cheers Duke.
@@luisloya1120 G'day Luis, yep, the Robust is probably the best value all rounder for it's size on the market. I'd love one in stainless for my climate though : (
I must give an honorable mention to the Pro "S", what a great little worker around the house. No rust spots yet after several years and the thinner blade stock gives it that little more slicing utility. Btw; when you say you have the complete Mora line up, do you have the discontinued oldies too ?
Cheers Duke.
Lionsteel have excellent value for money. Especially now they're running steels like K490 & 3V in their fixed blades. (got a T6 in K490 coming) The new T6 will be in 3V after the first run of K490 is gone so not to worry if you miss out on the first batch. From my experience their heat treat is great (fixed blades) T5 in niolox has been my go to again over the last 6 months. Even their handle materials are better than other brands, specifically their micarta. (T5) It is like G10 in toughness & density, but with the feel of micarta. It has so many layers that are super dense/compact. The T5 is worth buying for the handle alone. Integral (is that the right word?) handle, milled from one piece of very high quality micarta, same as the T6.
Not even my favourite brand tbh but if I could only keep & buy from a single brand it would be lionsteel due to their quality vs cost. (or survive knives) Love bark river but my last 4 knives have been absolute dog 💩. Uneven grinds & handles. £300 plus after importing them here. Bark river are not even close to worth the money anymore.
Good steels but terrible fit & finish/quality & it seems to be getting worse. I am done with them until I hear the quality has significantly improved. Unfortunately people buy them regardless of the dwindling quality (they literally can't keep up with demand) so they have no reason to improve.
I love LionSteel M5 in CPM-3V.
@@tomasmikenda6139 Yeah the knives&tools M5 is excellent with the 3V steel. But the T5 is still my favourite because of the handle.
Is your M5 in micarta?
Seriously check the shere amount of layers on lionsteels micarta & how compressed/dense they are. & compare it to any other micarta. Not even close. Only just noticed the other day, can't believe I never saw it before. Unless I got a randomly super dense batch of micarta.
@@sgtfatrod8901 I have actually both CPM-3V micarta and Sleipner G10. M5 fits better to my (small) hands.
where did u hear this and i think k490 should be used more as its very unheard of "3V is boring" and there are so many options but k490 very few options
The problem with the steels your talking about is they take forever to put a edge on. Imagine if you chip your edge. Fancy steels are nice but usually extremely hard to sharpen.
When everything is done correctly simple steels will do everything super steels do. The edge isn't has big a difference unless it's putting a edge back on it. 80cv will hold with anything out there.
Always a great day when the DBK notification pops up! I’ve been using the ESEE PR-4 Lately and have been liking it a lot! Would like to see a review of it!!!
Another good one, guys!
DBK Knife is #1
I cut my receipt in half right out of the box.
Thanks Guys!
Supersteel is okay if you have something to sharpen it, but if you're somewhere where you have nothing to put that edge back on it i wouldn't choose such a hard steel 🤔🙂
I was very surprised to hear you mention the BK2. I got the the BK2 after your review. I love it and I would trust my life with it. That is definitely my apocalypse knife.
Quality small knife and a cheap chopper, that is the phrase I have been looking for, the answer to the question of whyI started watching you guys... Thank you so much.
Of course they would be talking about terävä at some point but bro...that was more than I expected 💜
For my uses, around the yard, occasional bushcrafting, house projects: Mora Robust sharpened up with a Work Sharp.
I absolutely agree with your choice. Also the Skrama is one of the best budget knives, Terävä is killing it in that category.
I have the Skrama and the jääkäripuukko with the special sheath that holds both of them together, can 100% vouch that they're amazing separate, and even better together.
@@andrew66769 how is the sheat? I was thinking about buying it but wasn’t sure if it’s well made and useful (you have the 85 jaakari with 240 skrama?)
@@clintwestwood3539 Yes I have the 85 jaakari and 240 skrama (the combo sheath only supports those two and the 80 skrama)
The sheath is great, it's basically just a 240 skrama sheath with another sheath stitched onto it. The leather is genuine. The only thing I could ask for that it doesn't have is that you can't remove the jaakari sheath from it unless you rip the sticking, imo it would've been cool to have a system where it can be like clipped on and off. If you are able buy the full set I'd recommend it.
DBK said in responding to one of my comments on an different video that it's a better choice than large knives like the tops steel eagle, if that helps anyone.
@@andrew66769 you mean the skrama is better than other large knives or?
@@clintwestwood3539 They said that the combo of the skrama and jaakari is a better buy than a large knife of similar value (the tops steel eagle).
Double Plus Thumbs Way Up for the Jääkäripuukko!!!
I have the 110 & 140 both in Carbon & riding in AZWelke kydex sheaths & a 140 in Stainless riding a cut-down Ka-Bar polymer sheath for water/dive use.
I own way too many other knives but the Jääkäripuukkos are my Get Out Of Hell Free Cards.
Great job as always, Fellas!
Wouldnt like to buy my 140 would you?? I think its cr*p.
@@howardvarley8795 : Really? What do you consider is wrong with it?
I mean, any production blade can have some fall thru the Quality Control cracks but I'm curious about yours.
I used my Bark river Fox river as an EDC for close to three years now ,was lucky enough to work at an outdoor store/gun range that the owners didn't really care what knife we carried each day, and I have to say that's what sold me on 3V steel it stayed sharp for months and as a hunting and fishing knife the convex profile glides when going through meat and feather sticks like a champ carving and wood work its pretty decent too, I grew up in a family of Buck knife lovers and I'll admit the 112 folder is great at skinning but fails in the kitchen and in the bush because it dulls to quickly even when processing game you have to be cautious when prying joints or even how much your touching the bones with the edge I've never had to be that careful with the Fox river . The long and short of it is I'll probably be using a Bark river Fox river the rest of my life and be quite happy doing so as it's easily my favorite knife I own out of the around 20 outdoor knives I own second place gose to the Bark river Bravo 1.5 being a great survival knife then third going to my falkniven A2 just because it's huge and is fun to show people as most have never seen a knife that big 😆😆
I might be horribly late to the party, but I just bought a BK-16. It is terrific!!!!
As far as an edc knife I love the Spyderco Amalgam, an for a fixed blade the BRK&T Highlander Special! Love the show!
My desert island knife is Bark River Wilderness explorer. My favorite knife of all time. Can do bloody everything. Super slicer, good for food prep, but also good with wood, nice for featherstick, batoning. Judt a great allrounder. Not cheap, I grant you that. Jääkäripuukko is awesome, my friend has it and I have had a change to use it. My go to camp knife is Peltonen Sissipuukko M95. It was the influence for jääkäripuukko. Also with the same steel. A super knife.
Cheers from Finland!
Great video guys. I'm 100% on board with the jaakaripuuko. That is the best do everything knife.
Joining NATO isn't a good thing. But that's another topic.
I enjoy seeing you guys. Don't always agree with your knife choices. But it's always good seeing friends do stuff together.
It also amazes how great you two speak English. I sometimes forget your not in America. That is really amazing to me.
Love your videos guys! Keep up the awesome work! Wondering if you are going to review the Bark River Aurora scandi w/ CPM magacut! wouldn't mind seeing that against the aurora scandi w/ cruwear. Really enjoy the videos! please keep them coming.
Good choices. I carry my F1 pro with custom sheath everywhere and of course a lightweight folder most often a traditional one.
Nice "easter egg" at the end x)
Also, I like the gossip tree concept, it's like conversation street from The Grand Tour. That will work!
Ha ha, was just reading your comment, and thought ”what? missed that” and then it came on the TV.
Brilliant!
Respectfully disagree on the Benchmade bug out. Spyderco manix 2 in my opinion wins that category. Love the videos. You guys are awesome.
I just got the Reiff F6 and man I love the knife! 3v 6inch big boy of a knife! The 4 inch looks really appealing to! Also 3v.
The Lionsteel M1 is a great choice too if you want a folder sized (kind of) fixed blade, in M390, and for a mid-sized blade, a bit shorter than the A1 or Bravo 1.5, and for a good price, could be the Manly Eagle in CPM 154, I got it on the way but you guys maybe would like it. You could also go for Bushcrafter 2 which has about the same length of the Terava but its got the shapes of the ultra light lmao
You know why this question is always asked....
Because it can never be answered.... NEVER!
You will always need multiple knives to cover everything The best case scenario you could maybe get away with two knives remember two is one and one is none
You need a Tank & Ferrari
All you need is one smaller knive and a axe.
@DTL Yeah, for urban stuff, but for that you also only need a smaller knive.
I don't even use my edc often. Cutting a apple and boxes sometimes is the hardest use.
@DTL Think it depends where you life. In Austria where I life, a machete is mostly useless. In tropical countrys it is for shure the better choice.
@@wesleysnider2915 No I don't !....I also don't need your advice on what to do in the bush since I have over 30 years experience.
Thanks, but you go ahead and do you
@@hemidart7 Oha, so you don't like other opinions? I don't go anywhere because you want to. You can carry what you want, I never said that you are wrong.
When it comes to fixed blade with good value I am going with Schrade and 1095 steel with black coating, and the Böker Plus Hermod 2.0 that I am so happy with. And I'd give a mention to Joker and to Marttiini knives.
I bought the Benchmade Leuko specifically for batoning when winter backpacking and camping with a hot tent. Not overly heavy, but good at batoning and keeping on edge
I have one as well, really light, comfortable. I like it better than the aurora.
@DTL Very well. I'm glad I bought it and am sure I'll get many more winter camping nights with it.
I do not take it backpacking in the summer as I pack ultralight in that season :)
@@nandayane Agreed. And it's not as hard to sharpen as I expected
I wanted to pick one up a while ago, but there was a lot of complaining that the metal was too soft and didn’t hold an edge well. Later on, i heard that benchmade was going to up the hrc a few points to fix that problem. Not sure if they ever did though. Is yours a newer or older version?
@@huejanus5505 I think they made all of the Leukus after they changed the HT.
Jääkäripuukko every day, twice on sunday. I have one and i love it. Have the Skrama as well, just for the fun of it, makes a beautyful pair. Just add a folding saw and you are golden.
Hahaha don’t worry about a house get a tent! Excellent stuff on the gossip log lads have a Cracking day and stay safe and healthy you two. Catch you on the next one 🫵🥃🥃👍😘
Nice video, great setting.
Own the bugout and the 140 Jääkeripuukko, so glad I’ve done choices that makes sense with others, and I can testify to their strengths as well.
“Upgraded” last week with a F1x Elmax, which so far has been amazing. 3 times the price of the JP140 though… worth it?
Thank you.
For an eating / cooking only EDC knives, best for the price for me is the Victorinox swiss classic foldable parry knives. He got a liner locking system and it's just a beast at cutting food ( vegetables, meat, bread). It only weight around 40g and cost a bit less than 20€/$. I use mine everyday at home or at work, the serrated blade is still brand new
I am always carrying at least two. Most commonly my Bark River Bravo 1.25 in A2 and my Spyderco Spydiechef. They make a great combination.
G'day David, interesting combo mate. It's been said, no one knife can do it all, (well, at least); I can see a very versatile partnership there.
Cant beat a good pair, .............of knives either ; ) Cheers Duke.
The BPS Knives B1 camping knife is an awesome blade.
Hi DBK guys, I think I've found my one and only one Grail knife ! It is the White River Knives M1 Backpacker Pro Magnacut, Green G10, Limited Edition. Best steel out there, easy to carry even on a daily office work basis, with an awesome grip and a very efficient all around blade.
yeah i like this style of video , Keep the gossip tree vids coming. dont feel the need to always go all out
Dear Sirs, I really enjoy looking at your channel and I really take buying decisions after having viewed your tests. Indeed you periodically publish a "best of" something which is a useful update because time and quality may change.
Have you ever thought of editing a DBK score which would be a table where you put the rating, per cutting gram out of the box, per cutting rows, ... just like Doug de Muro does for the cars as it is very convenient because each line of the table is linked to a video, please I think you are the best to offer This ?
Bang for buck ??
• Mora.
• Kershaw Camp10.
• old-timer Trapper with secondary saw blade. Toothpick/twizzers too.
• opel Number 8s, 12s...
• Condor, Cold steel, Kershaw, CRKT, Ontario, Kabar BKs, Mora's, Tops...
But one of the best for any Blade ??
• Mora Companion & Mora Hatchet combo set. In blaze orange. Stainless Steel.
• Cold steel Bushman. Thin but strong.
•
Fallkniven r2 in Elmax is an awesome edc fixed blade.
I’ll take my Bark River Gunny in 3V to hell with me if needed. Absolutely amazing design and size.
At the 11:40 mark, who makes the cross draw sheath you have??????? Love it!
Realistically the best cost to quality ratio is whatever the cheapest morakniv you can find is. But that’s just a testament to the sheer affordability of mora while keeping quality.
Folding knife, I would always choose my okc rat-1 folder. Fixed blade, my condor bushlore. Neither are painful to replace, both easy to sharpen quickly, both solid as a rock. I will always own much more expensive knives for fun, but I know those knives are forever knives.
Well, you said "if you buy the jaakari pukko, your not going to take it for work"... well, i bought one, specifically to bring it to work (as a carpenter). And i use it every single day, for everything, and is a goddamn fantastic tool. i would trust it with my life :) worth every single money ten times over :)
My jaakkaripuuko blunted very quickly, so did my B.R Aurora 3v and despite hours of effort stubbornly refuses to sharpen. If it was down to a 'One Only' knife I would urge buying the Garberg. Affordable, available! strong, does the job, and comes sharp and easily re sharpened.
Want to see you guys do the new lionsteel t6 in k490 steel, looks like a beast!
thanks guys. b00dy good video.
Hey guys. Excellent video as always. Totally agree on the Bugout. So why don't test a Benchmade 940. For some the ultimate hard use EDC.
You guys have to try a work tuff gear knife any model they are on the top of the pile for quality ..fit and finish is perfect and sk85 is plenty good for outdoor uses..
Fällkniven S1 and Benchmade Bugout is my choice for SHTF knife and EDC knife.
Hey dbk, unrelated to the video comment here. I have been a knife guy for years, but recently got into Balisong knives. I picked up a Benchmade 85 TI for my birthday and I was hooked. I started looking more into these types of knives and everyone says how mechanically, these knives have the strongest lock type. Especially channeled handles. I was the guy that asked you guys for years to dip into folders. It would be something new and different for the channel to at least try out let alone test a Balisong. I know the channel started and still is primarily about fixed blades for bushcraft, but as a knife channel, we love to see your thoughts on oddballs, like folders. Now, if I may suggest Balisongs as the next oddball knife type to look at.
I definitely want to try the Trc apocalypse it’s just so expensive it’s unreachable for me but I use a fixed blade everyday I feel it would be worth the money maybe one day they will come down a little or my earnings will go up and we will meet
Agree on the Bark River issue which were brought up by you guys. Canceled all my 10 pre orders because I received knives with really nasty uneven grinds. In that price range not acceptable. As Mike Stewart says...they are producing so many knives right now like the have never done before...for the cost of quality. That hurts...and I'm saying this as a former big fan of BRKT.
I have a bark river jx6 in elmax that chips big pieces off edge almost everytime I use it and build quality is rough. I also have a bark river bravo edc in cpm3v that is quite simply the perfect edc knife. When you get a good one they are damn good but yeah they cost alot for a gamble on quality.
G'day mate, that's a real shame to hear. I got my Bravo 1.5 in S35 some years ago, no probs, clean as a whistle and just about the perfect 6 incher for my use and climate. But I agree, as probably my most expensive knife, I wouldn't be wanting anything substandard. I guess with so many fantastic designs, options and demand, it's not particularly surprising something had to give. Doesn't help you right now, but I can only hope they get back on track sooner rather than later. Cheers Duke.
Lionsteel for me! M2M or M4 in M390 super steel in Santos wood 🥰. I got them both … and I have used both for field dressing deer and for hunt camp fire making tasks.
don't go too rough on m390 😐😐
Terävä Jääkäripuukko keeps surfacing in the conversation... and for me... These rank in a top 3 to top 5 in highest value to quality ratio. Importantly reliability/dependability, performance, ergos/handiness, and overall quality of the knives priced w/ outstanding sheath package are all considerations worthy of top selection.
Basically an impossible question. But weighing in if you could only own one knife in 2022 that has to do both city EDC and outdoor use like hiking, bushcraft, canoeing, rafting, survival, etc. there are small fixed blade options. The size of a folder but strength of a fixed blade. The Fallkniven R2 Scout comes to mind if budget is no problem. The Varestuleka mini puukko (85) or mini skrama (looks less offensive) when more on a budget and not in wet climates a lot.
Kizlyar Supreme Yeti. PGK steel ❤️❤️
Soak the carbon steel jaakaripuuko in vinegar for a few hours. The silver part turns black with a durable patina. I used a 6% vinegar. Then I waxed it with Johnson Paste wax. No rust and a kickass black patina that's been durable. Love that knife so much I bought the longer one too.
My "one knife," right now, is the Aurora Scandi in MagnaCut.
His name is Adam Francis! Ha! Dude was a legend for teaching us about super steels and the importance of thinner blades vs these clunky overpowered thick blades designed for the security of manufacturers who offer a warranty beyond their means
Already got mine LT Wright GNS and genesis
Bark River Bravo 1 3v, Morakniv Garberg, Esee 4 1095, Lionsteel B41, casstrom woodsman, Joker Ember, F1x elmax....
I have a bark river mini bushcrafter in 3-v it's an undiscovered gem.
Folding knives guys tbs boar non locking and scandi. I love mine have alot of nice knives you recommend
For EDC, I MUST recommend the new Andrew Demko AD20.5, the most recent version with CPM-3V steel. Tough as hell, TOUGHER than Hell, and easy to use every day.
Fallkniven R2 Scout for legal to carry reasons. Maybe you guys can test it against the F1 Elmax.
Curious.... Have you guys looked at the Bradford Guardian knives? Cpm-3v and also some in magnacut. These knives seems to be an answer to this question and was my final choice.
G'day M & M, cool vid, just shooting the breeze guys. Gotta say as a one and done blade for the outdoors, bigger is better I reckon. Easier and less risky for a big fella to do fine tasks than a little fella to do big boy jobs. Without going into machete territory, hard to beat a BK-9 for the dough IMO. For a folder; CS Recon 1 drop point in S35. The two together are a pretty formidable package without breaking the bank.
Cheers Duke.
P.S. vid suggestion; small fixies, (moras and such, say 4 in. and under), VS hard core folders.
What do you think of the Lionsteel T6B in K490. I’m not too familiar with the style but apparently it’s good stuff.
The two-camera setup is pretty pro, guys.
I got a puukko because of your puukko video and now I got the bugout M390 because of this video. Benchmade should pay u for advertisement lol like the videos keep it up gents!
You should try the "J-P Peltonen Sissipuukko M95"
Yep!
Guys , consider a series of knives , best edc fixed blades.
I have the Ruike Hornet F815, great edc blade, added paracord to handle and feels awesome.
Would love to see you guys look into more budget options.
The K Bar BK2 actually performed poorly in extreme destruction test compared to other knives ( “joe x” channel for example). Extreme destruction test are not what you would realistically use the knife for but it’s some data to consider. The stainless Mora Garberg on the other hand (surprisingly) performed very well.
I’m old but your cool I admit it. Good show. What I’ve learned is that anything smaller than a katana that I would repeatedly swing or chop with . Are going to hurt or extend your elbow , because they are so light and send the chops back up your arm. See for yourself though. I chop with my Bowie I made it’s 1/4” by 3 1/4” wide and about one pound and a quarter at 20” long. Tapered . Thank you
I thought it was going to be the new budget DBK knife ;)
If you like the Benchmade bugout you should try the hogue deka CPM 20cv or the new one in magnacut
Yeah. I freaking hate the Bugout. It started that light weight little knife fad. Give me a cold steel recon one. The Deka is amazing and far beyond the Bugout.
Like the Bugout in CPM M4. I have a Demko Knives AD20 in CPM 3V and it's amazing. Fixed blade not sure.
I’m ordering a few custom knives from dulo knives. After seeing your testing and his build quality I can say the price is perfect and affordable for a edc that’ll last a life time and preform like a truly amazing knife at again a very affordable cost.
Please consider supporting a custom knife maker, they make this community what it should be.
Nice knives, however blades are too thick.
@@11saje82 I'll respond with my thoughts when I get them
@@11saje82 I have a nice Dulo knife. You can discuss specs with him to suit your needs. That said, I had to modify it anyway, tha handle was too thin for my hands so I wrapped it. The problem is that despite being custom you cannot really influence the shape of the handle before it is finished.
@@ejan8088 My problem with Dulo knives was not the handle but the blade and unfortunately you cannot choose the steel thickness (except for Elmax).. With a thickness of about 5 mm, a knife with a flat grind is OK (if the blade width is large enough). A saber grind will not be a good slicer and a scandivex will be a prybar. A 3mm blade, like those of the LT Wright knives, changes everything.
I have Jääkäripuukko 110, but my second thought would be Lionsteel M4 :)
Hey, but what you guys are thinking of Glock military knife (FM78/81)? Is it better or worst than Gerber StrongArm, or military type Ka-Bars?
Have you guys tried any of the Bradford guardian series? If not I would love to see you test a Bradford guardian 5.5 in 3v & they use Peters heat treat to 60/61 hrc & there $250! I was amazed to get such a good knife at that price
Hope to see you test a Fredrik Haakonsen knife in the future.

I m a welder. I carry a mora HD companion everyday. Leatherman. And presidio 2. I only really use the mora. Killed a deer with it last Saturday. Hit with my truck :( its the 5th exact knife I ve had that model. I convex them. Give them away after a year.
It sucks for skinning but it works. I ve TRYED to break them.... so for self defense? It would work...the thinner you convex them the better utility knife they become. The thicker.. better carver/bushcrafter. I carve ALOT and the more does alot of machete and hatchet work.
If I loose it tmrrw I ll be excited that I get to start on new one!!! Because they re always at AT WOODS. and I can ALWAYS afford them.
A REAL knife guy/user's sharpening stone should cost more than his everyday knife!!!
