Bark River PSK EDC Elmax: First J-Listed Knife of 2019! - Preparedmind101 

I won't fault you for that.

PREPAREDMIND101 OK, your Kephart 3V got me LOL. I ordered another Kephart 3V just love the size to lite weight ratio of that stinking Kephart 3V. I Used the KSF link there on Kephart video to support channel thanks for the great videos 👍

I have knifes with all of them and elmax is very much camparable to m390. M390 and elmax have more edge retention then 3v but are not as tough as 3v. Elmax is a little bit tougher then m390 but looses a TINY bit of edge retention... but the difference is honestly not noticable in the woods. But elmax is imho easier to sharpen (at the same hrc).

Elmax is a Bohler-Uddenholm stainless steel considered a super-steel also. I’ve had lots of knives in Elmax and a half dozen Bark River’s in Elmax. I really like it overall It compares very well to M390 with maybe a touch less edge retention than M390 depending on heat treat. It’s a upgrade to cpm-154, S30v/35 3V is a different animal being a carbon steel Field use, it has high corrosion resistance I cleaned a deer this fall with my BK Gunny in Elmax and forgot to clean it afterwards had zero rust over two weeks later 😳 It gets really really scary sharp pretty easy for me. I have rolled a edge before using a Elmax blade totally my fault was pushing down hard cutting squirrel bones while cleaning them. Didn’t notice I had moved of my cleaning board and was hitting metal table top. Still, it sharpened out on a diamond stone set and edge was good as new after some work.

I will soon. Just redid my bag.

Sooner than later please lol love my micro bravo in elmax I've been eye balling the psk and the bumblebee for months now.. hey Chris wanna trade a brand new perseverance survival knife for the psk?? Pretty please lolol

And mine still has the tip un molested and broken😂

I miss the first aid kit videos

This a knife channel now bro.

I suggest you go watch the first video I did this year. Pertains to you comment.

Because the person that designed it usually runs the business that it's exclusive to?

... Which is going to restrict access and availability and can add significant shipping costs to an already increased (though reasonable) price tag. This knife looks ideal to me. Would have loved to make this my first Bark River... Sigh.

How exactly is it going to do that? Given that DLT sells and ships the most Bark Rivers anyway?

I'm not American and can't justify to myself paying 200+ with shipping for the base version of the knife. And it doesn't seem to be available through European trade companies. Being an exclusive it probably never will, I suppose.

May be bias, but for your size the JX6 would be better. My hands are Med/LG

@@preparedmind101 I have a JX 6 companion coming

Because it's not fun.

CruWear

Elmax is a greater steel for edge retention than cpm3v or even cruwear just my 3 cents look up steel metallurgy charts and data proof is in the pudding...

It's winter. And water filters are boring and near impossible to really test.

Electric is neat :)
