I wish I was as happy as that dog
TJack IS THE MAN!!!! Next episode, Tyler cleans his beaver! WHAT HE SAY!? LOL
Very cool video guys, looks like a fun trip - thanks for sharing!
Really torn between the S1 and the A1. I have several 4 inch bushcraft blades and am thinking I'd like something bigger to use as a belt knife and bring a mora as my bushcraft knife. Did you find the A1 really big? Have you used the S1 and if so how do they compare?
Holy reply to a 6 year ago comment.....😁
Did you ever get the S1 or A1? How did you like it? I have an A1 that I love to this day. The A1 is a strange beast. Some days I find it too large, other days I wish for it to be smaller and lighter. But then again two seconds later I'm glad it isn't...haha 🙃
I'm a Gemini. I'm forever torn like this with everything in life.
I do wish the A1 was thinner than it is.
I always have my pack axe with me so I don't really NEED something like an A1 but I still bring it because it's a workhorse. Have to be careful with any impacts on the handle material though.
I did the same thing...I pair the A1 with a light scandi knife in my pack. I prefer my modified Hultafors OK4 over my Moras. I mirror polished, zero scandi ground the edge and stropped on a secondary convex micro bevel for edge strength and durability.
Even without an axe, that's a powerful combo that should get you through most anything.
Kickass video , Love the review/ winter camping!
Nicely filmed and looked like a great time. That knife looks sweeeeeeeeeet.
Thanks *****! I love all these trips outdoors.
Had my F1 Since 1995 and it is still beeing used often. Best knife ever
That's so cool! Cheers
Great video fellas! I've been trsting the Fallkniven F1 here in the Australian bush, should be putting a review together this weekend.
Let me know when you do. I'd love to see it.
Tyler, killing it again! I like how you guys found another Brayden! Ha! Wish I could've been there to cook some bread on a rock.
Terrific video! I love the format of your videos. I love my Fallkniven F1!
Deceptively sharp and amazing blades. Quality all around.
***** I wasn't sure of it until the owner of Fallkniven suggested I use it in the demo. He is a wise man. It's awesome.
Refreshing take on a knife review. Cool vid.
Where did you get the black magic? I can't find it online.
It is the black compound, made by Bark River Knives and Tools.
sweet blades
Just got my Fallkniven F1d! It's going to be hard to choose between the TOPS B.O.B. and the F1d to EDC! B.O.B is heavier than the F1d, but I really like the B.O.B.'s Kydex sheath+rotating clip and the fero rod + whistle combo. I do like the Scandi varient grind on the B.O.B.. But for overall general purpose, F1d will serve me just as well.
That wood trap wouldn't pin anything down lol.
Awesome video! Really enjoyed this one Tyler!I have a custom version of the F1. Great cutter. Reliable knife.Be well my friendCraig
Great video, subscribed. I'm getting an A1 very very soon they are just fantastic, thanks for the information which simply supports my view that they are plain awesome
It's hard to logically beat this blade. It's one of my most primary and favorite blades.
Alot of complaints about the zytel sheaths. They do what a sheath us supposed to do. Hold the knife securely drain easily and the slim profile is nice too.
TJack is the man!!!
Great job brother looks like a fun trip!!!
I hope we can hang out one day soon.
I believe it wld be a great time!
Absolutely! Let's make it happen!
TJack~ absolutely my friend... One day soon!
As soon as I get time to think I will let you know brother.
So you are still alive! Haven't seen you on my channel at all lately. Well, glad you're still kicking brother. Hope all is well. Take care.
Forestwalker111... I thought I was just on not to long ago my friend.... But yeah still kicking and sucking at computers lol.... But Im always on with my phone... I try and make sure I keep up with all my buddies channels.... I have to do a vid for you guys still But I've been crazy busy as of late like I said ^^^ to Tjack no time for me to think lol.... Camp/work/kids thats my life but more work and kids of late... But Im on my way over to bother your comment section now my friend. I have to work on that knife for my GAW still also... Lots to do and now the weather is cooling down and I hope rain and snow comes with it so I can get some video time.
+John K. Eich Bushcraft. I was just teasing ya buddy. :) I'm glad to hear all is busy and well with the fam. :) I don't film much in the summer myself lol! See you soon brother :)
great video thanks Guido
At 4:31. I have come to the conclusion, that 99% mainly "big" youtube channels, provide really wrong info on knives. He thinks as he said, that he is "Sharpening" his knife, while he doesn't even hone the edge of that knife. At best, he is scratching the side of the beautiful polished blade and dull the edge, of the A1. You can not "Sharpen" a steel, with a so much softer material, like leather is. Can you polish the edge bevel, using the right stropping technique? Yes,you can! Can you maintain a sharp edge, using the proper stropping method, that each different grind has? Yup. Now, either they copy, what ever they see from different videos and since they have, no, real experience, they show ,what they think they know as right, but in reallity, is completely wrong. Or ,they do it on purpose, just to make noobs, buy the gear they sell and in the same time, with all these wrong info, people destroy their knives, instead of maintaining them, which also adds, to "more money" that they make. All this, is not a big problem, because, man, will always have a bigger idea of himself, which means, that all of us, are marketing victims. The real problem is, that people beleive, whatever they see on their screens. That's what enslaved the humans, as we speak. The fake numbers, that mαde α simple virus, to a total world pandemic, was done, through our screens (TV, mobiles, internet etc) That's the really huge problem, that we people "don't see", because we live in the darkness. PS, sharpening is 30% knowledge, that most people don't have and 70% experience, that people should have, if they want, to reach a point, where they can sharpen anything. Don't beleive what you see on your screens, is a good start. God bless you all
Great Video
You are actually honing the blade. If it is not sharp you need a courses material. I like the F1. Not sure bout the A1.
that`s what an axe is for! why would you attempt to baton with that knife?
Enjoyed the vid.
Lol, sorry, but I just had to. Never actually done that before. Cool vid though guys! Way to get after it Tyler and Brayden -Dan
We all do that sometimes D! I SUPPORT you in your endeavors brother!
I wonder if his kid's ever like: "I don't like killing things, dad".
Could you review the Enzo Trapper n690 some time ?
But importantly you brought your dog!
Exactly!
nice video thanks friend
Forget the blade, best part was the dog.
mastersfan04 More of the dog (Tess) in this rafting video: czcams.com/video/2Dn9kyEH8QY/video.html
mastersfan04 I do love my dog. I will be bringing her in more videos in the future, now that I know she is managable while filming.
Nice
morakniv all the way for me guys, cheap and totally capable of anything I need it to do.
I had a friend just ask me about the tent. It is an 8 man Tipi from seekoutside.com/
Living Survival this is it brother! I love these things.
Yep. Fantastic.
"The key to winter camping is bringing the right gear"
One dude brought a sword!
Pretty sure it was a shotgun.
Kristian Jensen I was referring to the the enormous knife/machete the younger guy carries at his hip in some parts of the video. It doesn't seem very useful in that specific climate and location.
@@TheKimjoh560 kinda looks like it could be an Ontario SP8 and if so it could be VERY useful regardless of the time of year! (If you don't mind carrying the weight!)
You sharpened on the outside of the leather?
Is that the meadows across the road from Mill D?
Kris Davey This was up in the Uintas.
i love trapping Beaver :)
I don't know how many times I had to retake and reword myself that weekend.... Painful.
I'm slightly confused so if someone could help me out. The Fallkniven knives mostly come with a convex edge which is supposed to be stronger than a normal edge with a bevel correct? But then why do i hear of these blades chipping all the time, especially since the blade is Vg-10 and laminated? Sorry, have no experience with convex, scandi grinds, or vg-10
There is a scale with sharp and brittle on one end and dull and robust on the other. Each steel performs differently on thus scale. Convex is another issue. Because the carbides at rounder at the tip they are more reinforced on the cutting edge than say a Scandinavian grind. Essentially no matter the steel convex will be stronger at keeping the blade edge from rolling or failing. As for chipping that sounds more like blade abuse. Any super sharp blade will chip if it hits rock or whatever because of the characteristics of the scale I talked about. As for these two knives I use them all the time and neither one has chipped or failed. In fact I made a bow drill and battoned and whacked my way through the base board in a video just today with the A1. Zero damage or problems. They are some of the best survival and bushcraft blades available on the market for a reason. Just use them for there intended purpose and they won't fail.
+Kai Abbe Just don't hit a rock with it. But any knife will chip or flatten (hard vs softer edge) if hit on something harder than the steel.
This ^
Dont listen to the saying any knife chips, thats a lie, carbon steels like 1055, 1075, or stainless steel mid carbon like 14c27 NEVER chip and always roll. If these fallkniven had 14c27 on the middle they would be the perfect knife.
Will you guys ever make a test of the SOg backcountry axe?
ZombieFighterOf1987 We'll try to get that on the list.
Hello , I wanted to know if the FALLKNIVEN F1 is really good , keeps the wire long ? It is robust for intensive use ? and the wire is easily reversible blade ? Thanks Michael.
+Michele Trekkning The F1 is an excellent knife; it's on quite a few top bushcraft knife lists.
redo the cutting edge is easy ?
background music too loud and annoying
Who makes the leather sling for the small forest axe,thanks
That was made by Tyler himself out of a strip of leather. He just measures and cut some holes to hold the axe. Easy enough to copy if you're interested.
Yeah that would make a cool how to video a lot of people have the grans
Ronald St.Charles im going to make another one. I'll post a video when I do.
Thanks
Thanks for the response about the eat sticks knife. I tried to respond when you sent the message to me but it failed for whatever reason. I really appreciate the quick response. I really like your channel now that I've found it. I spent most of my time in the woods as a kid and I'm just getting into the bushcrafting. I bought the esee 4 after watching Crocket20's review and I love it. I've been wanting a knife with a scandi grind and seen yours and had to get the info on it. I found the site online, I seen where their is options on blade length and how tall th blade is.. was just curious what sizes u went with.. Thanks again for all the help.. sorry for rambling..
All good man. Look at a Woodlore or a Spyderco Bushcrafter. I used the Bushcrafter on the Desert Bugout video we did on this channel.
Brandon Beverly He got back with me. It's on the way. He has been tied up. Anyway I will be reviewing it in a Bushcraft video on my channel some time in the next month or so. Ty
Why do you baton wood when you have a hatchet?
as a test
hitting any sharpened edge hard enough will cut, not sure how much of a "test" this is.
It's not exactly cutting, it's splitting. Test a few things edge stability and see if the knife will bending and go back straight. Batoning as a sport I don't agree with because it's abuse. in a emergency situation it's a life saver if you don't have Hatchett. They show reliable the knife is under freezing temperatures.
Read the title
Beavers are extremely destructive I don't know why it's illegal to shoot them or trap on land. They killed all of my cottonwood trees and are working hard on other species
One day with it and it might be the best bushcraft knife you've ever used? Huh, for a guy that can't even say the name right, your pretty quick aren't you? P.S it's Fall-Neevan
the k in kniven is silent
From the dozen or so Swedes i spoke to, none pronounced it with a silent k. However they do pronounce it something like "fell-k-niven"
it's pronounced faell kneeven
What ax is that?
It's this puppy right here.

I love this thing. Hand forged quality.
TJack awesome thank you. Beautiful piece of craftsmanship.
In your opinion and best F1 or S1?
+Michele Trekkning I like the shorter blade of the F1 and the option of the 3G steel.
I think the quality difference between F1 and F1 3G not enough to justify the price difference ... and then the 3G is also much more hard for me to redo the blade ...
Anyone know the hatchet around 4:05?

+KnifeHQ why is ur stuff called blade hq if ur name is knife hq
Great knives,but expensive.
where did you get those gloves? Tyler I have to know.
Hey Collin Kump my friend and I made them out of Beaver pelt, and Buckskin.
nice how long did it take
About an hour or two. It's not hard. Just time consuming tying the leather together. When I get some more pelts I'll make a how to video on my personal channel. It may be a few weeks as my friend that has all the quality pelts is in AK right now, and as you can see we didn't trap any beaver on this trip.
nice i am looking forward to it
Collin Kump Do you live in Northern Utah? Because if you are local to here I can just show you in person. Go into the BladeHQ store and leave your phone number.
First!!!
Do yo really think that you "...could just sharpen it on the lather..." sharpen????
you can strop it just on leather, not sharpen, if you think you can, please try to blunt the edge on a stone like you want to cut it and then try to sharpen it just on leather...
I love it when people keep talking about something and pretend like they rally know it.
But if you know that you can't sharpen it just on leather, why say it? i ask this because some people will actually believe that and can find them self in bad situation...
He said sharpen, but obviously what he meant was strop.. So if you pay attention you would have noticed he wasn't "sharpening" but stroping. Like you said it is not possible to actually SHARPEN a knife on leather.
Really you're complaining because I said sharpen, instead of strop... The black magic has a coarse grit suspended in a type of grease block. When you put that on the leather it makes a super fine sharpening/stropping device. If you haven't messed the blade up severely through mistreatment it does actually make it sharper to strop it by using the technique that I showed here. Personally o think it's very cool to know that you can make your blades sharper and keep them razor sharp on the field by doing this. It's something I've used successfully for years. It's especially useful on knives that are used for skinning. You're not going to take a blunt tool and make it a razor with this technique, which should be obvious without explanation. That's why I mentioned that it's a daily touch up technique. Keep it all in context and then maybe you won't be so easily offended by another persons definition of a technique.
TJack Yes i complain because you said sharpen instead of strop and i clearly said why, kids also watch this kind of stuff and maybe thy will go to woods carrying only leather belt because "...you could just sharpen it on the lather...", do you think that is wise?
I know what you thought but that is not what you said, that is the only reason why I'm complaining....
And one more thing, do you really carry whole block of stropping compound with you? 1/8 of that can last you for days and days...
You know that every Fallk knife has an micro bevel right?
ikarus1415 Does stropping make your knife sharper? (rhetorical question). He brought the whole block I'm assuming so that he could properly demonstrate what it is/what it is used for & how to apply it when you get it out of the box. What you see post editing is not the whole story.
None of the Fallkniven blades shown here have a micro bevel. To the best of my knowledge none of the Falkniven blades have a Micro Bevel at all. They are all Convex edges that are all done by hand. This is why they are such a premium knife.
The advantage to the convex edge is that it supports the carbides on the cutting Edge by an almost 300-400% advantage over the common V-bevel, and the double V or Micro Bevel. The disadvantage is that it has to be done by hand. Convex edges hold their level of sharpness far longer than a V-bevel and are four times tougher. Which is why so many people are drawn to this type of edge for survival related blades. They are also deceptively sharp. The thick edge spine holds the carbides on the edge to such degree that the knife stays sharper far longer and will still cut long after a conventional V bevel has gone dull. Convex edges are also the easiest to maintain as I showed in the video or to restore as is printed on the side of each Fallkniven box and stone, you cut a thin slice from the fine, flat diamond whetstone. As you hold a firm angle you’ll get - a convex edge, since you are not a machine. If you want a Skandi ground sharpened you would hold it on the one ground angel of the Skandi. If you want to sharpen a Micro Bevel I've found the Lanski sharpener to work best, as it holds the blade firm to the angle. All blades are finished best or touched up daily (sharpened) with something incredibly fine. Like a leather strop/strap that has fine grit black magic on it. The above information I learned from Mike who owns Bark River blades and sent me the Black Magic, and from Peter who owns Fallkniven blades and sent me the above knives. Respectfully Tyler.
i could buy a knife a knife sharpening kit an ax and machete cheaper then this one knife. learn how to maintain your tools then you dont need to spend so much on a knife. but to each his own
This is like the difference between a Festiva and a Porsche. You get what you pay for. This is defiantly a buy one knife for forever kind of situation.
or you could find the best value more like a Subaru sti to Porsche
Exactly. You get for what you pay for.
