    Trick to dealing with burs on steels is when you are almost done run the edge straight into a piece of soft wood like pine, this pulls off the bur, then you run it once each side back on the stone to refinish the edge. This is a tip I was taught by wood carver and its so simple I at least went DUH.

    Old hickory butcher knife and 4 inch paring knife were my first outdoors knives, $18 for both and they're still kicking after all this time. Modified the butcher knife into a kephart style. Good knives for beginners.

    I have 2 ontario old hickory knives, and they are particularly good value for money, if you don't mind spending 30 minutes taking care of the edge and the sharp angles of the handle.

    Hey you crazy knife guy! I say that, because like you, I also own far too many sharp edged tools (ie: axes & knives) that most likely any psychologist would say was unhealthy.
    I enjoyed this video. Perhaps you have made others where you show your sharpening skills/process on your Tormek. This is the first one I have seen. I think it would be a welcome endeavour to upload more videos of this sort. Few if any of the other "knife guys" on CZcams own a Tormek let alone even know what one is or how to use it.
    Proper sharpening is a vital part of knife ownership unless of course you just collect & never use the tools that you purchase other than table top reviews & the ubiquitous & nonsensical paper cutting test.
    Carry on with the good work mate. Cheers from Canada.

    I JUST cleaned up a crusty one I picked up. I'm waiting for the handle to dry now so I can oil it up. Some slight pitting in that texture on mine from year of neglect. Bit I'm ok with it. I will most likely add it to the elk cleaning kit next to the hatchet

    the question is how was the heat treat of the esee cleaver vs the Ontario Old Hickory Cleaver. cause tbo they may have refined the grain structure more or have it at a different hardness level. i havent a clue but it will be interesting to see them pitted against each other, especially with the price differences and similar functions but with the same steel.

  • @BradGryphonn
    @BradGryphonn Před 7 lety

    I have seen a preview via Black Anchor of the Esee. If the steel is decent, I'd guardedly suggest that a cleaver could be a great all-rounder in a camp situation. The tang size might be an issue for serial batonners though methinks.

  • @wemcal
    @wemcal Před 3 lety +1

    I've begun using Old Hickory knives as a base for bushcraft knives. They are a good value with good quality steel. The most popular model for mods is the 7" butcher knife. But I prefer the cleaver for its thicker blade. It measures .098" thick so perhaps a more rugged blank than the butcher knife by a bit. As a cleaver, the Old Hickory might be a little light, but for a general purpose cleaver, it'll do. Pros might not like it though.

    Point of curiosity: How many dudettes do you reckon you're attracting to the channel these days (early 2018, as I write)? Do you have a breakdown in your metric for 'with beard' and 'minus beard-y growth'?
    Ha, ha, with a little work on that "I'm too sexy for my shirt" thing, you wielding a big cleaver might bring to mind for some of the ladies the scene in 'Picnic' where William Holden takes off his shirt to chop wood from the backyard wood pile, and Kim Novak looks on with, uh, "interest" from her bedroom window. So then, less Gallagher and more Holden, maybe? The word is "marketing", Pete!

      Ditto, in my limited experience with nude beaches here in America, as well (hopeful expectations definitely dashed). That was some time ago now, alas. But similarly, as an audiophile sort since pouring through Heathkit, Allied Radio, and Lafayette catalogs in the tender years of my youth (and more than half a century having passed), there still seem to be very, very few female gearheads in that circle, even so many years since "home ec" was de rigueur for the girls. Which I always found puzzling and a little disconcerting, at least to the degree it's so, given that women like music, too, right? Systems that "respect the music", as I like to put it, don't assemble themselves; nor does the knowledge needed to achieve elusive synergy among the bits, if your standards are high enough. Unfortunately, the literature in the social sciences keeps showing this "boys' thing" and "girls' thing" business typically takes hold well before first grade. It's deep stuff... part of our species' evolutionary and cultural legacy of hundreds of irrational biases.
