My review of the Russell Green River Camp Knife. This knife is made in the USA, 1095 steel, 4.75 inch blade length. It is available with or without handle scales ($20-30). It resembles a mid-sized butcher knife and excels at slicing, whittling, and notching. It is also sold as The Green River Hunting Knife and Green River Fish Knife. Thickness is 3/32 of an inch. Overall, I find this knife to be a good value as it is inexpensive and can be used for camping, hunting, bushcraft, throwing, or as a kitchen knife. Links to buy this knife, and to the 5 inch sheath Amazon recommended for it, are listed in the text description box. Enjoy! :]
I've been buying, building, selling and giving these Green River knives away since 1987. I buy the blanks ten at a time and make them up with leather scales, Rosewood scales, Curly Maple, paracord, Pine, G7, Canvas Micarta--or whatever happens to be lying around. Leather scales are my favorite. The grip is most excellent and the thickness just right. Inexpensive and easy to install with ordinary epoxy and copper rivets.
I have made all the Green River knives at one time or another. The Hunter, demonstrated in this video, is #1 in the Green River line. There is also the Drop Point, butcher knives, Patch Knife and more. The Drop Point is my EDC pocket knife. A most excellent everyday tool for everyday chores.
The 1095 high carbon steel is easy to sharpen and holds an edge better than anything else.
Green River knives are made to go to work and to the camp site, on hunting trips and adventures--not to hang on a wall and look cool (though they look cool anyway).
Green River is a genuine piece of American History. Been around for over two hundred years.
Bend it, break it, lose it--don't matter. Almost anyone can afford to keep half a dozen around for replacement.
I've had this type of Green River knife since the 70's. As a kit. Built it up and I've been using it every since. The Green River knife was the favorite knife of Mountain Men and Fur trappers and Buffalo Hunters.
This knife has been around and in use by outdoorsmen for over a hundred years. I have two of them, one for my woods kit and one for my kitchen.
Excellent, I am glad to hear that they are serving you well!
I bought 2 of these several years back. They are actually great multi-functional blades. I jerry rigged some scales, sharpened the edge and spine, made 1 leather sheath, laughed, bought 2 from flebay. Took them out several times to test and play with. They did very well. Good steel / heat treat. Edge shaving sharp and held great. Put them in a box and rarely touch them. It was fun but I wouldn't do it again. The OKC 5" Hunter and the Old Hickory 4" Fish and Game (?) are cheap and work very well. I put the 5" in a Ka-Bar leather sheath and the 4" in an Esee PR4 sheath. There is a reason that these knives have been made by the gazillions for 100+ years. They work.
Nice review, thanks.
Well done! Sounds like these were great fun project knives for you!
Great tip about heat shrinking the oaracord. I always blue the handles(cold or hot) b4 wrapping . I unwrapped a para handle that i didnt treat (1095) after a few years of use and it was rust city. That beaver on crack might be my ex...
Thx. Enjoyed the video
I'll take the heat over the cold any day!!!
Really appreciate the budget, quality gear. Great pointy stick too btw
Thanks for stopping by!
Dope knife, I appreciate the heat shrink tip!
My pleasure!
Haven't been on your channel for a while. You're looking fit man hard work pays off
Welcome back, and thank you :]
Dang!!! Looking lean, Bud!
Keep up the great work!
Thanks, bro, thanks for watching!
Good video. I have one of these, purchased from Dexter with handles, but didn't bother with the sheath (which is probably a "mountain man" model). Heat-shrinking paracord is new information for me, and I have a blade needing a handle (thought I'd have to epoxy it).
Great video, fella.
Thanks, bro!
This is my main knife for processing game. I've used it on elk dear and squirrels. These guys will Rust pretty easily what I do to correct that it's too cold blue the blade.
It's great to hear that it has performed so well for you over the years, definitely glad I picked one up :D
Believe it or not, spray the blade with Pam Original Non stick spray. Carefully wipe the extra off of the blade, and let the rest dry. Works great. I have four green river knives of different patterns.
I got my Russel
Green River camp knife with raw walnut handle off Amazon for $26. I also was able to find a very nice good quality leather (BPS belt knife sheath) for it off Amazon for $20.
Altogether, i paid under $50 for a camp knife i can take anywhere, and have a good utility tool for whatever i need it for.
I treated the sheath with leather preservative, and the handle and blade i oiled up because the 1095 steel rusts easily, and the handle has no preservative finish. Then i sharpened the blade putting a 17deg profile on it making it very "slicey".
Now the knife is ready for action.
Excellent, I have two of the Russel Green River knives, a longer slicer and a mid sized butcher knife looking one.
great deal thanks for sharing
Thanks, bro! Haven't seen you in a while!
@@WeAllJuggleKnives I agree! Hope you are doing well.
I like to see in reviews when meat, bone, veg, and fruits are tested! Great video!
Thanks, bro! It sliced up the meat as you saw, but it is a bit soft for bone, so maybe a heavy cleaver to go with it.
@@WeAllJuggleKnives sure makes sense!
Have you’ve looked at the budk colossal spear? Works great on rebar shaft. Or wooden shaft - oiled for more sturdiness.
I will try one :]
Dude, your body transformation, is unbelievable. Can you please share some tips on how you did it? I guess a lot of gym and really good diet, but those other little details, are what most people miss, especially people that just started, or want to try to change to a healthier body. Can you please share your tips? Thanks in advance. PS You are the reason, I got back on knives, after 15 years, that happened after watching one of your first CZcams videos. Thanks for everyrhing
The first thing I did was make a list of the foods I eat regularly and divide it into the “safe” and “unsafe” foods. The unsafe foods were those that were making me fat. I had to ban all those foods. I ended up banning fried chicken, pizza, Chinese food, ribs, baked desserts, and all fast food. It is important to identify whatever foods are incompatible with longterm weight loss for you. That is where I would start. Regarding exercise, you should systematically identify where the most room for improvement is (lower body, upper body, core, and/or cardiovascular) and begin tackling each area until they are all strong!
I think their Dadley knife was the Predecessor of the Kephart knife
Hi Israel...
I haven't seen you for a while...
You've lost some weight by the looks!
Good work out!
Well done!
Great video, by the way!
Thanks, my friend! I'm about 175 right now (my highest weight while on CZcams was 260).
"Beaver on crack" 🤣😂🤣😂 Cracked me up!!!
I just use my purpleheart armoury grip tape for hema sword handles. For all my tools and melee weapons.
Awesome brother also believe there is a cool history with these. Big in the fur industry knives for trappers and what not , I could be wrong though lol.👊💀🇺🇲
Good old history, I think the moral of the story is that the Green River flows within us all :]
Great to keep in the "get home" bag.
Yes indeed!
Mister slim! Looking good. No homo.
Thanks, bro!
Sweet knife! #22aday!
It reminds me of Ontario’s 5 in butcher knife. Your forearms are getting shredded. The work out and diet is working. I can’t seem to lose anymore weight past 183 pounds. I would like to get to 160. Was 230 at my heaviest two years ago. I’m 5’ 7”.
I can get you to 160, but it depends how much pain and discomfort you are willing to endure :]
I guess my only concern would be how it's rusting under the paracord if you soaked it in water being 1095, even if you dried the cord after?
I just dry it in front of a fan for a few hours, it'll evaporate it, also put it on some hot rocks in the sun.
I have one. It found a home in the kitchen, not the field.
I'm sure it works great for that purpose!
if i an get one for under 30€ here in europe, i'll take two, thank you ;)
you look so fit and muscular can you make a video on how you achieved that? please
It would be difficult to cover in one video, but I can certainly do some nutrition and fitness content.
@@WeAllJuggleKnives please at least make one video it fits your general preparedness content and being ready and warier like. Thanks
@@WeAllJuggleKnives at least what you eat and how and your work our routine please> thanks.
Picked up two green river blades at an estate sale for 10dollars.I built out the butcher blade with walnut scales, brass pins and copper washers. Hunter blade 4215 purpleheart scales and brass pins... both lick tits..
Wanna sell the condor outback machete
Hey bud you brought your body fat levels way down. Good work.
Thanks, my friend :] I'm going to making an update video on that soon!
At this point you do have years of practice under your belt.
Bro I prefer seeing your hands. Nothing sexual of course
I've been using this knife in my kitchen for a few years now. Very interesting history. It came dull as shit, but the Rockwell must be around 54-56, so it to a few minutes on ceramic rods to get it scalpel sharp. The handle was also rough, so I hit it with some fine grain sandpaper and it's great. It's my go to knife for most things. If you read the classic Western book Blood Meridian, the Kid carries a Green River knife. Here is a cool link to the history: www.chuckhawks.com/green_river_knives.html
Awesome testimonial of longterm use, this knife has stood the test of time!
@@WeAllJuggleKnives It really has. If I had to take one knife into the field, it would be that one. My Moras are great, but that knife is amazing. Hence why it's been around for so long. It's like the 1911 of knives.
