I have the Bravo 1 with Elmax, and it is a good bushcraft knife. I have never owned a Scandi grind, so I'll probably go with the Scandi Aurora. Good comparison of different grinds. I can always get a better edge on a knife from the factory. hence, I think the Scandi had a bit of a disadvantage over the original Aurora here, due to your sharpening. This is not a criticism, as you informed us of the scandi being new. Also the feel of the sharpening can tell much that the camera cannot, regarding working with wood and different grinds. Of course that is not possible, but I gather that you were most impressed with the Scandi from your comments. I think I'll pick one up soon. In addition to normal tests, I like to see meat cut up on videos. I use my knife cutting vines, limbs. and meat. I have found one can tell much about a steel and grind from cutting meat. You are correct too that the thickness of the blade, regardless the sharpness, will factor in to the cutting process. Good video.
Nice Jelio Puukko too! Mine should arrive in 3-4 months! I'm a big fan of the Aurora, got 2 of those (1 full sized one in 3V, and a mini), and I spend a lot of time in the Swedish forests, I would not leave without them. Good video
Maybe but most likely just skill level . Dave Canterbury said it best in his Opinion on Knives video... "A skilled user can make a cheap crappy knife look awesome, and an unskilled user can make a great knife look bad". I use my knives daily about an hour + carving and whittling sometimes more if I'm building blades. That said I can instantly see if a person has lots of carve time under their belt. That don't mean he ain't skilled in the woods or at outdoor living esp hunting. Feather sticks proves nothing on that aspect BUT...Design wise a good dialed in edge will feather like a hot knife through butter. In the right hands of course 😁
I apologize, I don't understand English well, tell me which is the best knife from these three models, in the video, how is the best for me scandi and the standard?))
I wouldn't worry about the thinner tip when it comes to 3v. Apparently 3v is like 400% tougher than 1095 carbon steel. I can't see it snapping at the tip that easily.
Seems like the lt and the normal version are very similar spine thickness.... also the scandi is only in the thicker version. I want the LT for the weight and slicing, but i like the scandi vex for cutting and sharpening but i like the convex for strength. Does the scandi cut better than the LT even though its thicker?
