    Favorite knife is one my wife bought for me - she scored an absolute homerun with the Joker Bushcrafter. Handmade in Spain. Awesome steel. Holds and edge like I can’t believe. Sharpens up like a dream. Perfect balance and fits my hand like it was made for it. I retired my Randall #1 and carry the Joker instead now.

      For the price of a good knife you can buy what you need to start making your own, and probably pay for your first ten knives. I promise you that the first tool you make will be higher quality than what you can buy in a hardware store. A novice blacksmiths work is superior to Chinese goods. Rather than buying foreign goods, make your own stuff, source your material from your own countrymen. Spain is NOT known for it's steel, or it's craftsmanship. I promise you once you learn to heat treat metals properly yours will be superior quality. And I GUARANTEE you that steel came from China if it was from Spain.

As someone who has actually made several hundred knives over the years, I would love to see an example of your handiwork. I’d also love to see the blacksmith shop you set up for $300.00. Your guarantees aren’t worth the pixels they occupy on my screen. As far as Spain not being known for its steel or craftsmanship - just - bullshit. Go do some research.

    throughout my 70 years, I have gone through tons of gear and equipment..... some great, some terrible, and much more in between. Without getting long winded, I'll just tell you what I always carry in my almost old age today, and never without them. Gransfors axe, Silky Bigboy, Terävä Skrama 240, Rob Evans Bushtool, GEC two-bladed Pioneer Trapper slip joint, Two Cherries 8 inch straight draw blade, and 1 inch Scotch Eye auger; along with a pouch with sharpening and repair items and spools of bankline. Carried or transported in my canoe or 4x4 in my Timber Cruiser pack. My cook set is an old generic three-quart with a titanium Four Dog Stove contraption that fits inside; water bladders and a Sawyer mini usually in my pants pockets. Where I live, licensed hunting of feral hogs is legal all year, so I eat a lot of bacon as well

Even clothes I sometimes alter a little even if its just a coat of waterproofing or some kind of bug repellent like DEET or my favorite, Permethrin which actually kills ticks n other bugs (just don't get it on you).

    I found my favorite knife as a kid in the late '60s laying beside a football field. It's an early issue Ka-Bar USMC with a screw on and peened pommel. It had been used heavily by the poor soul who lost it. I continued it's use through Scouts as a kid, camping with friends as a teen and more advanced BC as an adult. It's never failed me from carving, shelter building, fish cleaning and even as a light chopper for rough carving. I've seen many pretty, temping knives, yet I passed on dozens as I only had to recall what I've accomplished with the Ka-Bar. My muscle memory knows my secondary just as well - a '70s USA made Schrade 25 OT. It was only recently that I learned it was also a favorite primary for Mors Kochanski for over a decade. A few years ago I decided to give my Ka-Bar some relief with a Cold Steel SRK. It hasn't disappointed. To finally scratch the scandi itch I bought a Marttiini. Again, a very good knife, but my BC heart still belongs to the Ka-Bar.
    My hatchet was a gift from my grandmother when I joined the Scouts. She pulled out a dusty old Germantown carpenters hatchet from her shed and gave it to me with a finger wag and words of caution. I treated it a couple years ago to a new 17" handle for it's approximate 100th birthday. It carries as many stories as the Ka-Bar. I have no plans to retire it or replace it.

    At 74, I've been an avid collector & user of blades since my teen years. Recently on a whim I cashed in $600+ dollars of my Cabela's reward points on my credit card for two Benchmade fixed blade knives; the Anonimus in CPM Cruwear & the Bushcrafter 162 in S30V just because I wanted to have some modern powder metal steel alloy blades. I searched the Cabela site for Magnacut steel but they didn't offer it. Why buy it when you can have it for no charge! As you say, sometimes you don't need an excuse to "pull the trigger" when the price is right ( like free )!

    I have one of those knockoff 110 with the same wobbly hinge as well. My real 110's hinge is as tight as the day I got it after 50 years of nearly daily use. It's one tough knife. My 110 was gifted to me by my wife on our first Christmas. On my 70th birthday in 2022 she got me an new engraved 110. Funny thing I used it once but it's a heirloom.
    I have 112 Ranger with s30v steel that I'm currently using & knife is every bit as tough as a 110.

    My favorite bushcraft knife is a vintage Mora Damascus knife with a gorgeous pearlescent handle. I picked it up at an antique mall for $26, came with a leather sheath. It holds an edge very well, very thick and great for batoning, aggressive knurled spine. One of the accent pieces on the handle came loose, but I used apoxy resin to fix it.

    Great video! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the mentality and benefits of purchasing quality gear.
    I remember watching your review of the Frost River Isle Royals Jr. Pack over and over before I bought mine. That pack was definitely expensive. But I have zero regrets about my investment. It was a matter of intentionally putting my money towards something quality made that would serve me the rest of my life. And in my experience, all Frost River gear is exactly that. I’m a middle aged woman with a smaller frame and found that for me, the Isle Royale Jr. is a good fit, but does require some added internal structure to prevent excessive slouching of the main bucket when partially loaded. I’ve been using a small wastebasket. But I think I’ll try cutting down a US military sleep pad to roll and fit inside for some lightweight structural support. Anyway…. It’s the best pack I’ve ever owned and I’ve never regretted buying it thanks to your review. (Just had to save up for a year and a half to get it.)
    Blessings to you sir, from central Indiana.

    This is a great idea for a video. There is some gear that we could probably use specific long term reviews on - for example evaluating how the solar generators hold up after a couple years, but for most of basic gear, this sort of video makes more sense. All of the basic gear has some tradeoffs, and over time we get to know the gear better.
    You asked about which knife is currently our go-to: the Lars Fält Knife, made by Casström, with the Sleipnir steel, is my number one. I still use my Helle Temagami quite a bit, though, and if I am just banging around the woods at home, getting things done, I usually have my old standby, the Tops BoB, with me. The BoB is perhaps a little heavy, but it fits in my large hands so well, and it has that great finger guard that doesn't get in the way, but does provide some protection when it is cold, rainy, late, dark, and so forth. I use the BoB harder than any other knife, and nothing ever goes wrong, so there is something to be said for that.

I do not take a multifunction tool with me, but I do carry a good pocket knife, mostly Case XX. For clothing I have a full closet of ACU’s, including ECW and GoreTex. Boots, I prefer Cochran Combat boots, but the ACU ain’t bad. I have a large ruck sack, and an Alice pack, somewhere. My USA LBV will tote a lot. A lot of the stuff that I owned was issued to me, so the cost was free. Keep them three years and they are yours. My favorite walking boot is a pair of leather USMC combat boots, but Cochran are ok.

    I have a lot of great knives. I'm a culinary guy (tons of culinary knives.) besides a bushcrafter, and camper. ( I really consider myself a motorcycle camper with some knife, hatchet, and saw skills) Mora, Baker, Buck, LT Wright, Bark River Knives, Origin, Broc Horseman #19, most of the ESEE lineup which are wonderful in their own way, I just picked up a trio of Roselli Scandinavian knives (to go with my Roselli axe with the long handle) which I really love, they are all capable, other makers and brands as well. My most cherished and capable knives are my Dave Beck WSK and Saranac combination. I was one of the last buyers that he took a custom order from. they work perfectly together.
    Axes & hatchets, I have quite a few also. From camp to woodworking to firewood and felling axes. I think I'm too old & injured to fell a decent sized tree any longer.
    Leatherman Surge is my favorite do it all multi tool.
    The gloves look awesome!
    I wish I'd have gone with the Royale Jr instead of the larger version. I may have to add the Jr sometime and just use the larger bag in my truck.

      I splurged a few years ago and bought the Tops Knives Dicer series knives in S35VN, chefs, paring, and bread knives. I love the Chef knife and Paring knife, the paring knife, Dicer 3, is almost sturdy enough to use as a bushcraft knife.
      The Victorinox knives are inexpensive and awesome as well. I bought their bushcraft knife last year when it came out, it’s a great knife as well.
      There really are a lot of good culinary knives out there.
      I’d like to try out some of the Porsche knives with the tiny handle in the kitchen as the pinch grip is the preferred grasp of a kitchen knife. They have the small unobtrusive handles. I’ve found that handles aren’t nearly as important in the kitchen as they are in the woods or a wood shop.

    Years ago I found an old hatchet head in my Grandfathers tool shed.
    I believe its a true temper.
    I rehandled it & use it all the time. As a side note, im retiring the 110 because im afraid I may loose it. Its now a family heirloom. Im replacing it with a 112 Ranger with the s30v steel. The blade is a little shorter & better complies with NYC knife laws more than the 110 does.

    I don’t have the kind of money to purchase an expensive “bushcraft” knife. I’ve used everything from an Old Hickory butcher knife, to military style fighting knives. Like the old saying about which gun to carry, the best knife is the one you have on you. I’m not speaking about cheap Chino or other third-world steel, but any modern hunting knife will have decent enough steel to function in the field. As you stated, take care of your knife, keep it clean and sharp. I favor using a leather strop to keep an edge, and I only sharpen more aggressively when I’m forced to use my knife on more difficult tasks. I did spend what I considered an astronomical sum when I purchased a hunting knife from Charlie Reynolds of Wimberly, Texas. I visited his booth at the trade fair and fell in love with the knife as soon as I saw it. My wife, who saw me glassy-eyed and drooling, told me to buy it. I felt guilty doing so because it was very expensive (to me), but I bought it anyway. It cost me $150 (I can hear the readers laughing), but at that point in my life, it was the most expensive knife I’d ever owned. I’ve never put a stone to it. Charlie sharpened it professionally before I left, and I keep it sharp with a leather strop.

    Yes. I would like to see your knife collection.

      Thanks very much for the support! Your knives are excellent and very good quality. I love the Garberg, but I gifted mine to a family member who was putting a kit together. Perhaps I need to get a new one?

    I have a Bark River , various Moras and others but my favourite is a cheap bushcraft model from Highlander outdoors here is the UK.
    For a larger knife i have a UK MOD Para machete and also use either my small Hultafors axe or Gerber axe.

      We all have a favorite, many times it’s not the fanciest or most expensive one we own.👍

    Love my kbar becker bk9, it's so multifunctional and useful that if I only had one tool that knife would be it. Other great tools have been the silky big boy, cold steel pipe hawk, tramantina machete, and any mora knife. My gransfors small forest axe is so beautiful that a find I don't use it and much as the others, but it's a very great tool, and art all in one.

      I love your gear selections. I agree with SFA, I would hate to lose or damage it, too pretty!

    I like oversized mitts with a glove inside in the cold, use the gloves without the mitts for work that needs dexterity! Mitts are warmer under cold conditions!

    I have Rob's Bushtool in RWL34, also a pretty and very sharp knife. I haven't used it yet outdoors, I'm saving it until my favorite knife retires which is the Fallkinven F1x in LamCos (rehandled with linen micarta).

      I’m a fan of the F1X as well, great choices in knives🔪👌

    100% agree with the pack. I love mine, I bought it when I had no money but I don't regret it. It is heavy and kind of uncomfortable, the sternum strap helps a little but damn is it a beautiful pack and made in USA.

    Hi
    As always thank, great video and very nice gear. I’m not a knife collector but my wife says I do fit the description 😊. I quite a few Moras, Jokers, Muela, Nieto Victorinox… I really like the Joker Canadiense and the Victorinox Master Mic Large. For some reason my favorite knife is the Mora Classic #3. I just love that knife. Easy to sharpen, light weight, comfortable handle, …
    The Small Forest axe is also my go to. Similarly, I wear wool all the time and I pile up the layers. My other wool vest is from the Army Surplus. Thanks for sharing it was a pleasure to watch. (A real treat). I would like to see your none collector’s collection of knives Take Care!
