I'm glad to see the SOG Seal Pup Elite with the straight edge and satin finish. That is one of my all-time favorite knives, period! I love the quality and the design.
My friend, I find your English very easy and clear to understand! Thank you for making these videos they are very relaxing and I enjoy you showing your excellent collection of knives.
@EddieCubillo It is Kershaw Lahar. It's made of VG10, a kind of soft stainless steel. It's recurve is difficult to sharpen. It's a pretty bulky and heavy knife. So I don't love it very much now. Thank you!
You easily have the best collection of quality knives I've ever seen, especially when you add in your recent acquisitions like the Kellam Puukko, etc.!
@rorybrocks I use water stones, Edge Pro fixed alignment sharpening system, and leather strops. The Edge Pro makes an excellent V edge, and if you polish the edge with a white compound loaded DLT leather strop paddle, the edge will go twice as sharp. The 800 and 4000 grit two sided water stone is good. The Scandi edge must be sharpened only on water stones, and it's very easy because the edge angle equals the bevels angle. It also need white compound loaded leather stropping after sharpening.
@mz9393mz Thanks for watching. I get 40 deers regularly in a season, and I enjoy processing deers using 2 knives on one deer, so I think I will be able to use every single knife alternately. I have already had enough number of great knives, however I am getting new knives. Using good knives is joy. I satisfy my basic greed there, so I don't spend money other than for knives. In that meaning this collection is not so expensive and not so bad I think. My family don't think so though.
good knives. Love your taste in knives. You do what i do and people think it's crazy, colour variation. If i like a knife design i usually buy them in different variations eg steels, handles and so on. I just love knives. I thank you very much for sharing and wish we can be friends
You have a great collection now. a Very reasonable size.. I have not done a collection update for a while.. perhaps I should.. mine is much smaller than people may think from all my videos. That BM Snody Activator is quite a nice design.
@LiFetommi Thank you very much. There are not so many knives which fit my taste. And when a knife is proven to be very good for me, I want one more the same knife with a different color or some. I just love knives, too.
@jgolf1212 It is the cKc Hiker hunter version with an elongated handle. It was made from a Svord peasant knife although its tang was full. Anyway it is a discontinued knife. Thanks.
So... the knives in my knife case is looking at me anxiously. I used to like my knife collection until 10:59 ago. I think most of them felt the love just melt away from them.
@vjanda1 Yes, I do it myself. The sharpening is a joy. I use Spyderco Sharpmaker for the V edge, and a leather strop with compounds for the convex edge. Thanks.
@bigo57dean BlackJack M125, Bark River Fox River, JRE custom F1, Svord Drop Point Hunter ( which needs edge reprofiling ), Ontario RAT1 folder. One month has passed and I've already got 8 stag. They are impressive knives this season although 5 more months remain. Thanks.
@mz9393mz I now don't use the Spyderco Stretch for hunting. Its blade shape is very similar to BladeTech Wegner Pro Hunter Magnum, however the angle between the blade and the handle is very different. In the stretch, the blade precedes the handle so that the blade must accept much resistance of the tissue during the skinning. Furthermore the point angle is a bit too shallow for getting the back muscles. That is why I don't use it for hunting. Though I love it for utility purpose. Thanks.
@thebeatles4784 I am sorry that I sold out my CRKT Alaska knife recently in new condition. It was because its factory edge was dull and made of unknown steel, and I didn't think it was a good steel which would satisfy my demand. So I don't know how it works in deer dressing. Thank you!
@jauntin Yes, S1 gone. A bit long for hunting and a bit short and light for survival. I am now getting ESEE RC5 and KaBar Becker BK2 thinking of the sudden encounter with wild bears.
My hunting knife collection is highly related to my deer hunting. I hunt 60 to 80 deer a season and dress all of them in the field. So the cost for the knives is not a wasting kind of thing. I have got almost all of my knives from the US or Europe websites. Thanks.
@virtuovice I thought so. If you get time a video would be very nice, especially explaining the different technique for different edge types. Keep up the good work!
I can read and write English a bit better than speech because I speak English only for the need of broadcasting myself on CZcams. So if you have something you need to know from me, please feel free to post a message. Thanks.
@tobeaSEAL Yes, I think so too. However gun carry outside the hunting season, and Knife carry over 6 inches are forbidden in Japan. And we have around 2000 brown bears in Hokkaido island, the very north of Japan. I have ever met bears in close range 3 times. Fortunatelly then they went away. I always carry a pepper spray and a knife in mountains, and think of giving him my left arm, and getting his life in return just with a knife ridiculously.
@WildLifeGuy308 In my experience so far I love 2 folders deeply. One is BladeTech Professional Hunter Magnum which is expensive. The other is Benchmade 551 Griptillian which is around 90 dollars. Less than that price I was not able to find a good knife for myself. The Benchmade 551 is a pretty good hunting knife. I have used it on deer many times and my love has deepened chance by chance. Thank you!
@auradud3 It is the 2009 custom skinner and I remember it was around $150. I don't think it is a very good knife because of its edge geometry. Its belly portion on tip side is getting thicker to the tip. The A2 steel doesn't need that thickness which makes the edge duller. In short its edge geometry is more strong than sharp. Thanks.
A2 rolls and 3V chipps under a strong stress. 3V will hold twice longer on sharpness. But I prefer A2 because it is easier to restore. Chip restoration is hard and looses much metal. Thanks.
I don't know why people care what others spend on a knife or how many they have. It's none of anyones damn business. Nice collection man, you must keep them real clean, because they sure are in good condish for you using them to hunt. A lot of them look unused. Good day
I like your video's very much, one suggestion would be, look into the John Bradley Knives, you can find him under his name, carry sharp 52100 but he Austempers his knives a excellent may to temper knives, he made me a camp knife 4 1/4" with desert ironwood handle,not only is it beautiful but it became my favorite knife, and like you I have a few knives, check him out and check out what Austempers is, I really like your knives too.
I made a video on 3V Canadian Special recently. It had much larger edge angle than A2 Canadian Special and I reprofiled it there. Please take a look. Thanks.
@jauntin Surely it is impossible for me to choose just one knife for a single deer hunt. So I carry a couple of knives in my rucksack and a more couple of knives on my belt, which should sound crazy. However using various knives and thinking about their advantage or disadvantage in comparison is my joy. Just one knife is boring for me. I am not just a user nor a collector but a... Maybe I am doing the same way how you are doing. Thanks.
@jesseyarnell Hi, I understand your feeling that the handle of the F1 should be more cosmetic. I guess you have ever seen the blank F1 blade which has a wide full tang for custom makers. I believe the wide full tang and the handle scales move the balance point to the butt side. The regular synthetic handled F1 with narrow tang is balanced very well. So on the F1 you had better go for the regular version in my opinion. In contrast, on Barkies you can enjoy the handle variation very much.
Great knife collection. Very nice choice in hunting knives. (Off topic- Japan made the best ("real") samurai knives (kantana & tano)). Your English/grammar is better than some Amer. here in the U.S. (some people are quick to criticize but haven't realize how difficult it is to learn another language.) Good Job. I also like your knife sharping vid's.
Great to see the whole collection. Thanks for sharing. Excellent knives. Will you try to use all of them continually or will stick to using your favorites?
Really great knives. I am improving on my collection and am very happy. Do you have any knife sharpener recommendations? I could really use a good one for my knives.
Just noticed that the Spyderco Stretch is missing from the lineup. Your initial review of that knife was positive. Did you find some things about it in the field that you did not like? This is a knife I am seriously considering, so that's why I ask. -Thanks
Beautiful hunting knives but, I really like that third knife. I think it was a Bark River gamekeeper, it had the green handle. Are all of your knives convex grind? Since others have suggestions I will say take a look at the EKA Nordic W12 hunter. Thanks for the video.
Great collection , I think Fallkniven much better fits your hand .. .. ... and look at blackbird sk5 . my top 3 hunter knives 1- fallkniven h1 2- idon 3-sk5
I'm glad to see the SOG Seal Pup Elite with the straight edge and satin finish. That is one of my all-time favorite knives, period! I love the quality and the design.
THX for showing your knife collection...enjoyed watching great collection you got!!!

What is better than bArk rivER. You gotta watch all of this man's
videos then you might know! Keep up the good videos. We love them

Great collection ! You know very well what means a good knife!
@mz9393mz Thanks for watching. I get 40 deers regularly in a season, and I enjoy processing deers using 2 knives on one deer, so I think I will be able to use every single knife alternately.

@brithesaw Thanks. I love Bark River knives very much. I very recently got a STS-3. It seems great for deer hunting.
I like your videos man, great work!

Awesome collection of knives. I was hoping to see a couple of Gerbers in there.
Nice taste in knives.
you sir have an awesome collection there.. good job!
you are a lucky man virtuovice I love the bark river knives.
@LiFetommi Thank you very much. There are not so many knives which fit my taste. And when a knife is proven to be very good for me, I want one more the same knife with a different color or some. I just love knives, too.
Very nice collection!
Very nice collection! You have outstanding taste in blades my friend!
@jgolf1212 It is the cKc Hiker hunter version with an elongated handle. It was made from a Svord peasant knife although its tang was full. Anyway it is a discontinued knife. Thanks.
So... the knives in my knife case is looking at me anxiously. I used to like my knife collection until 10:59 ago. I think most of them felt the love just melt away from them.
nice collection.... I think its interesting people in other countries enjoy our American knife companies as much as we do.
@vjanda1 Yes, I do it myself. The sharpening is a joy. I use Spyderco Sharpmaker for the V edge, and a leather strop with compounds for the convex edge. Thanks.
that blacked out fallkniven f1 looks soooooo good!!
It is BlackJack Trailguide hunting knife. I haven't used it for 2 seasons although I still keep it. Thanks.
very cool collection
@PrivatePanic The BlackJack Trailguide knife is selling at KnivesShipFree for 169 dollars. Thank you!
@bigo57dean BlackJack M125, Bark River Fox River, JRE custom F1, Svord Drop Point Hunter ( which needs edge reprofiling ), Ontario RAT1 folder. One month has passed and I've already got 8 stag. They are impressive knives this season although 5 more months remain. Thanks.
Fallkniven F1 from Sweden. It's a Swedish Pilot Survival Knife.
Very nice collection

Beautiful collection. I envy you.

Keep up the good work!

Can you please post a sharpening instruction video? I love how sharp your knives are
I can read and write English a bit better than speech because I speak English only for the need of broadcasting myself on CZcams. So if you have something you need to know from me, please feel free to post a message. Thanks.
nice collection, the Idun is a vbeautiful knife
Faberous knife!
very nice collection. I was thinking about getting the crkt alaska
nice collection
I basically use all of my collection each year. But each knife has a single chance or two in a year. Thanks.
@tobeaSEAL Yes, I think so too. However gun carry outside the hunting season, and Knife carry over 6 inches are forbidden in Japan. And we have around 2000 brown bears in Hokkaido island, the very north of Japan. I have ever met bears in close range 3 times. Fortunatelly then they went away.

wow.. great collection, my favorite has to be the f1
Yes. I use Camellia knife care oil. Thanks.
very nice video.
You got a lot of money in knives on that table man. Good on ya.

Bark Weavah! Skinnah! yah! I love this guy's accent
So many good knives!! i guess it might be a tough decission to choose what knife to carry for deer hunting! I bet you can not carry just one!
I remember it was green elder burl. I left it long ago. Thanks.
Very nice :)
i like the second one
I don't know why people care what others spend on a knife or how many they have. It's none of anyones damn business. Nice collection man, you must keep them real clean, because they sure are in good condish for you using them to hunt. A lot of them look unused. Good day
Ok this guys accent is awesome!!!
Those Bark River knives are beautiful. If you are interested check out Grohman knives of Canada very unusual and ergonomic design. Great vid.
I think your English is great. I lived in Japan for 2 years. Your English is better than my Japanese.
haha anybody else notice the description? bad knives gone, good knives remain.
never seen something so quick and simple. never seen that before hahah
I like your video's very much, one suggestion would be, look into the John Bradley Knives, you can find him under his name, carry sharp 52100 but he Austempers his knives a excellent may to temper knives, he made me a camp knife 4 1/4" with desert ironwood handle,not only is it beautiful but it became my favorite knife, and like you I have a few knives, check him out and check out what Austempers is, I really like your knives too.

5:50 the cutco ka bar amazing but then again cutco is the #1 knife company in the world
I have many sharpening videos on my channel. I use water stones and a leather strop for sharpening knives.
@virtuovice That's great. I like that you enjoy using your knives instead of just collecting them. :) I'm the same way.
@jauntin Surely it is impossible for me to choose just one knife for a single deer hunt.
So I carry a couple of knives in my rucksack and a more couple of knives on my belt, which should sound crazy. However using various knives and thinking about their advantage or disadvantage in comparison is my joy. Just one knife is boring for me. I am not just a user nor a collector but a...
Maybe I am doing the same way how you are doing. Thanks.
So which is your favorite?

nice knifes
virtuovice - I know you've added knife video's since this but have you decided on a favorite go-to knife?
Oh and also, I am looking for a well affordable but high quality knife that can hold and edge. Any specification in blade type and handles also?
you should try a gerber moment there great kinves.
Great to see the whole collection. Thanks for sharing. Excellent knives. Will you try to use all of them continually or will stick to using your favorites?
Really great knives. I am improving on my collection and am very happy. Do you have any knife sharpener recommendations? I could really use a good one for my knives.
@virtuovice Oh... that makes sense. Thanks, i will definitely look into it. Thanks.
The seal pup is a very small I was shocked to see it
You have a very nice collection. Which is your favorite for deer?
Can you do a new collection update? Part of me is jealous but part of me is very impressed
Hi !
Have you ever been tried the fb04 made by spyderco and designed by fred perrin ? :)
What is the color of the Bark river gameskeeper?
Thanks
Just noticed that the Spyderco Stretch is missing from the lineup. Your initial review of that knife was positive. Did you find some things about it in the field that you did not like? This is a knife I am seriously considering, so that's why I ask. -Thanks

@MrLorenzotrigueros I have given it to my friend and got myself a new one. Thank you!
@BAGboy0032 Helle Eggen, Kellam Puukko from Knifeworks. Thanks.
