@@barondavis5692 thank you so much for watching. I actually have compared it on my own time outside of RU-vid. I’ve been meaning to make a video on the comparison. I haven’t really posted in a while work has been crazy and I haven’t really had the time to make videos. I hope to get back to making videos over winter.
I've just acquired a vintage Diamond Edge boys axe. I've only took the spit handle off so far. It's in good shape. I have nothing to compare it to except for a cheap Truper boys axe , but the Diamond Edge is quite a bit beefier than the 2 1/4 lb Truper. I picked the Truper up at a hardware warehouse that I work at very cheap. I haven't used it yet , but it's a hundred times better than the new True Temper boy's axe . That's for sure. 😅 The same day I got the Truper someone gave me the Diamond Edge. Actually before I bought it. I only paid $16 and some tax though. 😅
As with a lot of us watching this video.. I own a ridiculous amount of knives.. I finally realized that there is no such thing as a one knife that does it all.. But this one Defiantly comes close.. Mine is stainless so it also doubles as one of the best camp kitchen knives Ive ever owned..
Yep, you are pretty horrible at organising your fire, but... I must admit, you started that fire a LOT faster than all the "pros" and "experts" I have seen in youtube, so shouldnt we all learn from you then?
@@coffield77 heck yeah that’s awesome, I’m happy to hear you have the knife and love it !! I genuinely think these knives San sheaths are fantastic. Thank you so much for watching 🤙
@@568843daw yes house handles are great. I forgot to mention them in this video, I’ve purchased many handles from them and have been more than happy !! Thanks for watching !!
@@jeffcrews1213 thank you so much !! Yeah no problem I got it at whiskeyrivertrading.com and then go under the heading “sharpening” they have a single grit pocket stone and a dual grit. The dual grit stone is awesome it puts a very keen edge on knives. They normally out of stock they’re a hot item for sure. If they’re out of stock let me know. Also if you have Facebook find me on Facebook my full name on Facebook is Joey Namik. I’ll take a look I may have a spare stone, but I can’t make any promises, but I’ll definitely check to see if I still have one.
I have the same ones on my 590. Do you notice your chain loosening up more now? I had to stop and tightened the chain twice during a couple hours of cutting.
@@bbell909 Heck yeah that’s awesome, congrats !!! I also have a pair of patriots I love them. Franks boots are awesome !! Thank you so much and thanks for watching 🤙
@@lobenavente236 you’re welcome, thank you so much for watching im glad you enjoyed the video !! They mallet I’m using in the video I actually found at a yard sale for 2 bucks, it’s a beefy one for sure. I may be tough to find one like that new. I would check around yard sales and flea markets. I come across them once in a while. The hard part is finding them in good shape. Thanks again !!
@@jamesnelson1443 Thank you, I’m happy you enjoyed the video and we’re able to learn something. I wish I took a little more time to explain things better I’m this video, I’ve been thinking of remaking this for a while now. Thank you so much for watching !!
Dont keep the knife in while drying.Insert knife,wet form be sure to work the corners.Take knife out.Rework a tad, youll see it.Youll have to insert knife SLOWLY back in once dried.You can leave the knife in the sheath and use a hair dryer on low if knife is in the sheath or top of a table in the sun on a hot day.Of course clean moisture off and oil.Worked for me .
I have the BPS "Savage" and it's just a little light and thin for my taste. Been eyeballing the Adventurer for a while.... and you get a ferro-rod that the Savage lacks. My Amazon is currently showing this for $40. Thanks for the video..
Zinc parkerizing also provides a very good finish. Its what a lot of military rifles were done in. Very dark grey flat color. Only issue is it will not work on anything stainless steel. That knife looks really good!
When I wet formed mine, I laid scrap leather where it needed to be pinched tighter and left spring clamps on it until it dried.. it kept the same form.
Try to post this again.. i just got one, july '24. The sheath alone is worth the $37 I paid for it on amz, the BPk store! The fit and finish was perfect on mine.
Ive had this in my "cart" awhile now. Ive watched several reviews. This was a good review well used so to speak. I pulled the trigger, it should be here by Monday!!!! Thx!
I have three BPS knives and I’m amazed by the quality. I also own Bark Rivers, LT Wrights, PKS, Esees, Tops, and others. But I would have no problem taking these out on hardcore bushcraft trips. Their great. Just got two Jokers and they are also really nice but are in the hundred dollar range.
There's a video on here of a guy "wet" forming a sheath with pure beeswax, melted in a crock pot. Drop it in and sorta let it soak until it quits bubbling. Wrap the knife if you want, totally not necessary because its beeswax and while its hot, form the knife to the sheath. You can then burnish and wipe off excess wax, BOOM. IF it starts to get too cool you can warm it in a low temp toaster oven and hand work it till its right for you. Now the sheath is completely water resistant and of course, melted beeswax can't hurt your tools, no water😂
Hey Joey! Man I absolutely love your videos on this knife. I have used Birchwood Casey products for years. A LONG time ago I used to work for a gunsmith.. Best cold blue product I have ever used though is Brownells Oxpho Blue. Apply as directed and let it "set up" and to be cold blue it is tough as nails. There's also a product called Wicked Wax, food safe, easy to carry in field, multi use.
I wanted to not like this guy or his review because of all of the trappings of his generation on display. I ended up liking the video and the guy. Good job dude.
