I love Hickory Knives I have a couple of smaller ones I use in the kitchen been thinking of adding another large knife to the collection I think you just sold me.This is just another awesome vid by my man Tac thanks mate
WOW, I JUST BOUGHT , 14'' Got from E- Bay brand spanking new, paid $24.00 free ship, Its not my first Old Hickory, and wont be my last, most times i see the used models going for more $$, people think old ones are better made, (not true). Old or new same knifes, same quality, same sizes, same steel, same every thing to the smallest detail. Up to a few years ago it never crossed my mind to use in the back woods. Then bingo, it hit me, had the makings of some of other knifes i had and liked so pulled one out of our kitchen knife drawer and was pleasantly surprised of their ability to accomplish the tasks of my other much more expensive wood working knifes. After using and pleased with ability's, i did some research and found out i must have been the last person on earth to realize they had been used by woods men, Native Americans , Etc. Etc. Been used used by every body for every thing a knife could be used for, since their birth. Haven't changed a lick. 1095 high carbon steel , hickory wood , two brass rivets, full tang, Ontario Old Hickory Made in the good ole U.S.A. Handed down from generations to generations and cherished by all who had highly valued its quality. Some folks do modifications, some leave as is. Ranger bands on handle can be used or of course paracord, Paracord could be a way of carrying extra cordage , but i like ranger bands my self that could be used for different tasks if needed and wrap paracord around my sheath as extra. For any one who actually would read this, if not knowing what ranger bands are, simply put are bicycle inter tubes cut to size, i have found that bicycle shops will give you all you want from used tubes that are thrown away, no charge. Now sheaths are a little harder, either you make out of leather or kydex or send to sheath maker and there not cheap, but usually made well. I bought a Ka- Bar military knife sheath from Amazon a while back that fits my 7'' old hickory very nice. some will say US Army or Marine or some are plane, very good quality if you like leather witch i do. I have even used duct tape but not very classy but can hold your knife. Well i apologize for being so long, may be some of the info will help others. I would like to thank every one and every one involved who helped make this video for all of us. I enjoy this channel and all well done videos , So Thumbs Up Bro. maybe see you on the trail one day. Oh, don't let any of the big foot or dog man story's keep you out of the woods , if you listen to them, but a wise woods man always keeps an eye out for things that could hurt you. Stay safe, have fun, and use those old hickory knifes and always carry an extra knife of any kind as a back up. Thanks again, love the videos!!!!
awesome blade...never seen an ole hick that big! have to keep an eye out for a decent used one now after seeing that chop and batton like a banshee. Thxs for vid!
Thanks for the vid. These knives are cool they are easy to sharpen hold a killer edge that lasts. They are one of the knives you see that's been sharpened so much that the blades nearly gone. the only thing I have to watch out for is no tang easy to get cut when sticking. I have never seen a broken one. They make tones of different styles. Old Hickories are my favorite knives for skinning .
Yeah, that Ontario Butcher knife series is awesome. They make a 7, 10 and 14 inch version i think. And they are all cheap as dirt. Even unmodded, in a homemade kydex sheath for a total price of maybe 30-40 bucks the 7 inch version would make a great camp knife.
awesome!!! Tac has a date with Old Hickory..1095 carbon steel....(the original mountain man's knife) i knew we would get a good show !! keep up the good work:)x
Wow, Tactical what a blade! Me the entire video " oh.. whaaaat. Holllyy crraapp. No it just didnt cut that.Whaaat Wow wow wow. Holy crap! There's just something about a blade that looks like its from a 1930s logging camp that gets my gears going. Lol.Thats the sort of blade that just screams to be used. Great job Tac and great job You Crazy Knife Guy's.
Hi my friend I think if I'm not mistaken. The knife I made out of carbon steel and the old hickory knives r made in Ontario. I enjoy u show it's killer .hope to hear back from u soon
Hey Tac. If I wanted to send you a knife, where might I send it to? I found a knife when I was walking on the shore of a river when it was low. It's really cool and I believe it to be a nice quality knife. I really wanna know what this thing can do but don't have the environment at the moment.
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.
The weird red stuff on the blade after batoning was probably some of the inner bark. My blades get coated with it i make bows. Some peaces are worse about it the others Cool review. Ive seen those big old hickory knives before for like 15-20 bucks. Good budget chopper.
I have never seen acid etching before thats sick looking. Man tac for all the cool shit people send you, you must have like a vault with endless amounts of weapons lmao. But nice vid man I always love watching these vids you post man if I had somethin wotprth sending to ya I would but I got some junk some good shit eh idk it works so I keep my junk around lol.
Say Heah, It's a 14" O. K. C. Old Hickory, My friend Customized his when I got my Stromeng KS-9 Actually his worked pretty good, The name of the knife is on it and yet you draw a blank, It's a Old Hickory 14" they are made in the 1095.
I was thinking about picking a couple of these babies up for my brother and me and modifying them. I was thinking maybe black and grey crushed carbon fiber or a black twill carbon fiber with copper pins , then spraying a chemical copper then let it dry and spray something called torch to patina the copper . That spray will bring out green , blue and purple out of the copper . Well now it made me think of copper slabs and carbon fiber pins , spray the copper handles with the torch and then a clear acrylic . Either-or is a winner , seeing your video I dont have to think any more , I'm making them both lol .
Nice vid Brother. I have always looked at those Old Hickory knives. The price tag on those are incredible low for what you get, we might have to buy some of these bad boys. Nice giveaway from the Crazy Knife Guys, love the patina :) Snake
Hello. Pretty sweet knife and test. I'd like to ask you about battoning. I be bent my 16 tramontina machete after battoning it in frozen piece of wood. Was it my fault or the machete is bad?
In Brazil the most common machete is the Tramontina's , but the models are different...because our wood are harder than most of those found in the USA. Tac can i post some links with some brands of machetes??
Hey tactical if you don't already have the cold steel tanto lite I would recommend you get it because it's cheap and very good quality and super sharp maybe even do a video on it:)
its was made to be a meat cleaver i got the smaller butcher knife only thing i have a issue with old hickory blades the handles aren't made for chopping wood so if you say glue them on with opxy the handle scales like i did with my smaller one then there great knives i need to get a kit belt knife from Dexter Russel the gren river knives you might like those tac
I started to buy one (they are only $11) but thought that I wouldn't want to use my more expensive knives in case I had to do some hard, dirty work that would mess up my expensive knives. Dave Canterbury uses an Old Hickory, so I know they will get the job done. It just does not have the "cool factor" that I crave.
+Adam Alford I prefer to have the larger blade than the shorter model. If I want a medium-length knife, it would be either a Mora Bushcraft Black, LT Wright GNS, or Bark River Aurora LT in CPM 3V.
+Philip Lobrano My grandma uses them for food. I use a seven inch for camping. My grandma always has watermelons on the fourth and she uses these knives to cut it because it is long enough but she looks like a crazy woman hacking at a watermelon with a butcher knife
Hey,Tac,why is it you never give a ballpark price on the blades you test,really that's the only I don't want to say complaint,but it does help because it's like after the vids you do,I'm ready to buy and I can't find the price in the vid at all ,sorry to bring it up but I know I'm not the only one bro
Yeah, When I bought my Stromeng KS-9 I got jealous, Again you got a gift, But I never hear that you give anything away as gifts, Lemme be the first one.
Always love your channel man! Cool ass shit! Grabbin boobies! LOL, I'm gonna have to try that one on Miss J2K! Awesome knife brotha! I have a 12" one and its nice around camp. I baton tons of wood with it. I've had it for many years! I think its 1095... Congratulations on 20K!!! Getting close... I'm the (unofficial) fixed blade give away winner for your contest. ha ha... Hint hint... LOL... Speaking of give away... I'll be having a 15K one soon! I can't believe it! Have a good day my brotha! :-)
Great vid they r like light sabers if u have time check out my vid on the old hick I did some mods on I like it for a light machete but they can do some serious work all and all
by the way they are pretty damn cheap blades. for bushcraft use, you will need to reprofile the bevel, it comes double bevel from the manufacturer. it can take a bit of patience to work out the second bevel completely. mine was a bit under ground on one side, so it has been a bit more work to get it to a true scandi. and probably want to address the handle, I took the wood off and made it a paracord wrap. and there is a little spot of the cutting edge you might want to grind out, it's right where it meets the handle. if you slip, your finger is in a bad situation otherwise.
1095 carbon steel. It works great for camping
Was 1095. Ontario Knife switched to 1075.
Today I watched you cut down 2 trees with a hammer, set your BOL on fire, and cut a maple tree in half with a butchers knife.... then I subscribed.
That knife, should be featured in your zombie movie series!
TacticalOwl7 good idea
Damn bro, that summbitch was badass - super deep cuts and impressive it stayed so straight!
EveryDay Knife Guy - Giveaway ON NOW! I was impressed!
I found an old hickory , redid it for a friend (kinda beat up when I found it ) , they take a razor sharp edge so easily
Very very nice, looks like a really good blade for the bush, Ganna have to look one up

The weird red stuff on the blade after batoning was probably some of the inner bark. My blades get coated with it i make bows. Some peaces are worse about it the others

these knives are made of 1095 carbon steel ,just like their super affordable machetes ,
Nice vid Brother. I have always looked at those Old Hickory knives.

Hello. Pretty sweet knife and test. I'd like to ask you about battoning. I be bent my 16 tramontina machete after battoning it in frozen piece of wood. Was it my fault or the machete is bad?
their steel is kinda soft
+Tactical that is what you girlfriend says about you!
Nice Blade Bro!
Dano Martinez thanks Dano!
In Brazil the most common machete is the Tramontina's , but the models are different...because our wood are harder than most of those found in the USA. Tac can i post some links with some brands of machetes??
GabrielCG10 shur

Your fucking amazing, keep doing what your doing
Dude u never seen a BBQ pit boys vid ? They rock the old Hickory's big time! Lol pretty sweet what that can do for a butchers knife.
-peace

yooo i get that red shit all over my bk 7. it kinda looks like rust too so its always scarin me
MCBobbyE lol
I know this is a old video. I haven’t seen very many recent videos lately. I was just wondering if things are ok?
Jason Voorhees would approve this.
Especially with those darker more rustic colors on the blade & handle.
You should test the sheade uncle hennry 153hu
Hey tactical if you don't already have the cold steel tanto lite I would recommend you get it because it's cheap and very good quality and super sharp maybe even do a video on it:)
trickyricky72 thanks
Hell yeah! Freestyle cutting fucking rocks! Oh nice blade. Lol!
dandandatreeman thanks Dan the man!
It's not a butcher knife, it's a machete !
Hey tac can you make a video on identifying trees?
kendric476 that's a good idea
its was made to be a meat cleaver i got the smaller butcher knife only thing i have a issue with old hickory blades the handles aren't made for chopping wood so if you say glue them on with opxy the handle scales like i did with my smaller one then there great knives i need to get a kit belt knife from Dexter Russel the gren river knives you might like those tac

Dave Canterbury uses an Old Hickory, so I know they will get the job done. It just does not have the "cool factor" that I crave.
I get that red junk all over my knife as well when I baton. It's hard to get off too. No idea what it is. I guess it's sap/resin or something.
any bike riding vids coming up??? hav you been out on any of your bikes yet???
steve smith up here in Maine we pretty much have no snow. its raining now. do you have much left???
steve smith just started bro, soon im gonna do some V log
cant wait!!
Now I want one (but wish it came with a sheath)
+Brandon Tran If you get the seven inch model you can use a Kbar sheath
+Adam Alford I prefer to have the larger blade than the shorter model. If I want a medium-length knife, it would be either a Mora Bushcraft Black, LT Wright GNS, or Bark River Aurora LT in CPM 3V.
Brandon Tran Yeah the Old Hickory is cheaper though and works really well. There are videos comparing it to Mora and it does really well.
It’s considered a butcher knife , I like mine 👍🏼
Every Ontario old Hickory knife is 1095 carbon steel great choice.
Old Hickory's are the only kind of knives my grandma used. They were always razor sharp!
+Philip Lobrano My grandma uses them for food. I use a seven inch for camping. My grandma always has watermelons on the fourth and she uses these knives to cut it because it is long enough but she looks like a crazy woman hacking at a watermelon with a butcher knife
Do a review on a sugar cane machete tactical
the king never heard of that
Hey,Tac,why is it you never give a ballpark price on the blades you test,really that's the only I don't want to say complaint,but it does help because it's like after the vids you do,I'm ready to buy and I can't find the price in the vid at all ,sorry to bring it up but I know I'm not the only one bro
I miss Tac .

Bushmaster T.V. o and also email me if you want to know more crazyknifeguys@gmail.com
CRAZYKNIFEGUYS thanks again bros!
I think it cool this machete it's bad and cool
Fuck that's sharp
by the way they are pretty damn cheap blades. for bushcraft use, you will need to reprofile the bevel, it comes double bevel from the manufacturer. it can take a bit of patience to work out the second bevel completely. mine was a bit under ground on one side, so it has been a bit more work to get it to a true scandi. and probably want to address the handle, I took the wood off and made it a paracord wrap. and there is a little spot of the cutting edge you might want to grind out, it's right where it meets the handle. if you slip, your finger is in a bad situation otherwise.
Dat eagle at 7:14 though.
