    Scandi Grind: Woodworking mainly (Super sharp edge can be used for utility tasks, like draw cutting leather)
    Full Flat Grind: Foodprep or general light and medium use (Great grind for small and medium size general use knives)
    Saber Flat Grind: General hard use (Ideal for choppers, for spliting wood or any hard use knife)
    Convex: Hunting-Field dressing/skinning (The raised cheeks, allow the blade, to glide on bones so that the edge doesn't hit them, also provides more edge stability, which is essential for these kind of jobs)
    Hollow Grind: General light use

    I absolutely love having the firesteel loop on my sheaths!!!!it just makes life so much easier while out in the bush!!!! And making a fire that much easier to!!! Love the channel brother and thank you for the gaw!!!

  • @Saw_Squatch
    @Saw_Squatch Před 3 lety +17

    So I actually like having my fire steel on a lanyard, either around my next or looped around a belt loop and in my pocket. What I really like on the sheath is a honing rod, either steel or ceramic, so I have a knife and a way to keep it sharp

    • @shawnpepin7890
      @shawnpepin7890 Před 3 lety +1

      A sheath is a terrible place to store a fire starter.. always keep 1 in your pocket and 1 in your pack.. I have had too many of these fire starters fall out of the sheath compartments.. most people just like the way it looks, function be damned

    • @OldNavajoTricks
      @OldNavajoTricks Před 2 lety +1

      I have a rod in a zippered compartment in my baccy pouch and another in a hardcase wallet, I keep meaning to drill some for use on my bootlaces but never get to doing it.

  • @ck7629
    @ck7629 Před 3 lety +6

    I like having a firesteel loop on my sheath. It’s always there when you need it and if you happen to carry a ferro rod in a bag or pack, nothing wrong with having a backup.

  • @davidrohlf4203
    @davidrohlf4203 Před 3 lety

    I have just started to get into bushcraft skills after I found this wonderful hobby of hiking through this channel this last summer. Learning how much fun hiking with my kids and learning about new items to get or not get through the videos on this channel has actually saved my life in more ways that one. My heath most importantly!
    If I win this giveaway or not I will never stop watching your videos! I would prefer the one without the fire steel attached the the holster because if I ever wanted to carry the knife on my belt I would want the fire steel to be separate for when I would actually need it. Love the channel man! Keep it up!

  • @wincingatlight
    @wincingatlight Před 3 lety

    Picked up the Joker Lynx after one of your recent videos, and liked it so much I added the Nomad and the scandi Ember to my collection. Fantastic knives. Thanks for introducing me to this brand!

    • @sopwithcamelus
      @sopwithcamelus Před 3 lety

      Unfortunately, his glowing reviews, along with their obvious beauty, have got me itching to buy several, lol. They look like fine tools.

  • @swhedge71
    @swhedge71 Před 3 lety +2

    It all depends on what, when and where I am using the knife if I want the attached firesteel. Personally, I think that Joker Nessmuk S is a gorgeous knife and the leather sheath without the steel is nice all around carry! Thanks for all of your videos Aaron!

  • @not_frank_castle
    @not_frank_castle Před 3 lety

    I definitely prefer to have the fire steel loop on the sheath. It’s is just so convenient and if you don’t feel like carrying the steel for some reason you can just take it out. It’s all about convenience and options. Thanks for all the great videos I always look forward to seeing them!

  • @sweetdrahthaar7951
    @sweetdrahthaar7951 Před 3 lety

  • @christinesomers4674
    @christinesomers4674 Před 3 lety +1

    What a beautiful knife! I love the idea of having a fire stick available however my husband would rather not have one. We are impressed with the quality and versatility of the knife. Would love to add to our collection! Thanks for the opportunity!!

    I just ordered my first knife yesterday based on your review of the Ruike P801.
    I'll be binge watching your videos to get more awesome suggestions.
    I don't have any sheaths yet, but I think I would prefer to have a fire steel holder when I get one.
    Thank you for the great content!

  • @surferbum65
    @surferbum65 Před 3 lety

    The preference that I have always liked with my knife setup is without the ferro rod my fire starting system is kept elsewhere in my pack. Awesome review on those outstanding and beautiful knives keep up brother!

  • @daltonmitchell1469

  • @sharpwhits0167
    @sharpwhits0167 Před 2 lety +1

    Aaron, you got me hooked on Joker knives. I got the ember in k720. It's really nice. Haven't had a chance to really put it to the test but it is really nice. I continually peruse amazon for what's available. I'll have more before too much longer.

  • @rcompton
    @rcompton Před 3 lety

  • @nobodyshero5594
    @nobodyshero5594 Před 3 lety +1

    Another great video on Joker knives. I generally carry the fire steel in my pack and not on the sheath but I do have to admit I do like the joker setup with the matching handle scales.

  • @profesorEDC
    @profesorEDC Před 3 lety

    Thanks for the GAW Aaron and Joker. I prefer the rod separate from the sheath. I mean it on if it has it but rather carry in a more simple way each.😊👍

  • @wjennekens

    I love a firesteel attached to the sheath, always ready when you need it! 👍

  • @neesbushcraft

    I like the idea of having a fire steel on the sheath as a back up. Great video. Beautiful knives.

  • @Airik1111bibles
    @Airik1111bibles Před 3 lety +6

    Joker makes a really beautiful knife, considering the price points . I think for Bushcrafting these are the best deals on the market. The fit an finish is on par with some big name brands maybe even better then some.
    14C28N is a great steel choice and has me looking at their Ember with curly birch handles.

    • @mariocosentino20
      @mariocosentino20 Před 2 lety

      Da forgiatore e utilizzatore di coltelli, posso dire che sono fra i peggiori sul mercato. Impugnatura liscia e senza guardia sono pericolosi se usati con le mani bagnate.

  • @philpass7853
    @philpass7853 Před 3 lety +1

    I do love having a fire steel with my Knife, but do find the having a sharpening stone on it to be more useful as it gets used far more often as I have better and quicker fire starting options in my EDC and bush craft kit.

  • @drewvanhousen4512
    @drewvanhousen4512 Před 3 lety

    Excellent video per usual. You have helped turn me into a knife snob and have ordered a few Bradford knives since seeing your reviews.
    As for fire steel on sheaths..... yes, I like a fire steel loop for design, but realistically I carry a lighter and it get utilized more than fire steel.

  • @fabieneldridge3414
    @fabieneldridge3414 Před rokem

    You have helped me decide to get one. I’ve already been looking at the Joker line of knives and especially the three you went over. I think the ember is the way I’ll go. I won’t be using it for cooking so much as more of a EDC . Thanks

  • @wazzeradk9398
    @wazzeradk9398 Před 3 lety +1

    I have the firesteel loop on a few sheaths but prefer it without. Joker knives have something about them that grabs your attention and also are a great value!

  • @kevinlange2107
    @kevinlange2107 Před 3 lety +1

  • @travisdevor
    @travisdevor Před 3 lety

  • @GS-ud4fg
    @GS-ud4fg Před 3 lety

    Thanks for the giveaway opportunity! I generally prefer a sheath without a built-in firesteel attachment, just because I tend to store them separately, but this isn't a hard rule. :)

  • @apprenticegilligan1635

    I like the fire steel option added. Just gives another critical survival item as an add on.

  • @Cloudstrife112233
    @Cloudstrife112233 Před 2 měsíci +1

    So I've been starting to look at what the different grinds are good for, and the Saber seems like it's the Jack of All Trades grind. Like if you knew you might be in a survival situation, it would be the best option, but if you knew you were heading into the woods, then a Scandi would be the better option.

  • @haroldhyatt6337

  • @Bman-xy2vh
    @Bman-xy2vh Před 3 lety +1

    I like having a firesteel loop on my knives. it's always with your knife, so you never forget it. And it doesn't take up much room.

  • @brandoninman7069
    @brandoninman7069 Před 3 lety

    I do enjoy the shape design of the nessmuck and plan to buy that as well.
    I've steered off kabar AND puma.
    I enjoy the drop loops for the convenience and eventually I'll get one with the Firestarter. The big heavy pocket knives are starting to be an annoyance when on furniture at home.

  • @emmanuelrobles9389
    @emmanuelrobles9389 Před 3 lety

    Im neither for or against a firesteel loop on my sheath. I find pros and cons for both options. I guess having one if I ever need it is not a bad idea. Great vid! Thanks

  • @f4nunez612
    @f4nunez612 Před 3 lety +1

    I definitely see the benefit of having a spot on the sheath for firesteel but unless it's extremely streamlined, I'd prefer to keep it in a pack or in a belt pocket.

  • @TheJoeCool1964

  • @jordangiven5557

  • @eagle9197

    @ryanbong9984 Před 3 lety

    Good morning. Awesome review! I prefer to keep my fire steal off the knife. That’s just one more thing to get caught on a belt, backpack strap, gear that I’m carrying, etc. and can get knocked loose. I like to keep it in a pocket and go. Have a great day!

  • @christahendershot1496
    @christahendershot1496 Před 3 lety

  • @scottseverythingoutdoors462

    I like the firesteel option because it's nice to know nomatter what happens if you have your knife on you a fire is possible for the most part! Especially canoeing or just on the water and you dump over and lose everything!

  • @markbeckwith7057
    @markbeckwith7057 Před 3 lety

    @scrider5493 Před 3 lety

  • @barrybecker3706
    @barrybecker3706 Před 3 lety

    As I use carry options with and without fire steels attached, I prefer with. It seems as though it makes sense to always have the ability to start a fire. My neck knife (Mora Eldris) also has a fire steel on its Kydex sheath.

  • @bryanstraw7010

    @Longsnowsm Před 2 lety

    Are the sheaths interchangeable on those Joker knives? I would like the Nessmuk with the fire steel loop, but can't find one so I am wondering if you can buy the Ember with matching fire steel and use that sheath with the Nessmuk knife as well.

    I have the Joker Nessmuk full fat grind. I am pretty sure that the Nessmuk S is what Joker is selling as the Scandi version. Anyway, amazing kitchen knife. BTW, you are one of the best knife reviewers out there for us knife guys. I appreciate the fact that you actually use knives and don't buy them as fidget spinners..

    Having a fire steel attached is convenient for sure. Always carry a backup to steel too!

    I am a big fan of redundancy lol so I used both. I like to have my fire steel on my blade for convenience. And I keep another in my pouch in my bag backpack.

    👌👍Great Review Aaron. I prefer a loop & to have a ferro rod easily accessible. K720 is a great steel in my view, very tough, good edge retention and fairly easy to sharpen.

    I keep the fire steel in the bag... just too much on my side when I'm just messing around. Love the nessmuk design!
