I have the 6.5 in 3V and this 8 in 1095 and after a quick sharpening they both perform amazingly! Love them, oddly the 8 feels lighter in the hand then the 6.5 3V which I'm guessing has to do with the balance of them... For the money they're great just wish that they came already assembled is all
As soon as they launch the Magnicut 6.5, I'm buying. :) I already have the 6.5 in 3V, and it's simply amazing. Ethan Stoops and his team at TKC are amazing.
I got an AK 6.5 in 3V. Micarta scales and Kydex sheath with leather backer (I love the sheath options BTW). All of it is woodland camo. I put is down somewhere and I can't find the damn thing.
That looks great! I have the first run 5.5 from a couple years ago but I got it in 3v, at the price theyre selling these for its hard to beat especially in the 3v. Dan if youve never tried out 3v before I highly recommend it lol, its not hard to sharpen at all lol people just dont know what theyre doing 🤣. Thanks for showing!
Thank you! I have tried quite a few different steels, I believe 3v was one. But I just really like the 1095. It's been my faithful companion for a long time.
That's a real Beauty. I can't wait to see the sheath that you get for it. I hope it gets along with your other knives cuz you know how they can be when a new blade comes into the house. Jealousy. I think the angle of the handle to the blade is going to be a better Chopper than some of your other knives. And the skeletonized handle puts all the weight up front on the blade. That's the difference that I find between BK 9 and the Esee.
Thank You! The AK 8 does take there line up to the next level. Comparable to the Esee Junglas 2 in size. Watch for my field test this coming Wednesday.
@@ochocobushcraft1742the 6.5 in 3V is probably the best affordable one tool option I own. It’s made it onto the “permanent list” of my 40-something fixed blade collection.
hey my brotha , great vid n blade there , def. wanna talk more n where did you get that boonie at n would you have another to trade/swap/barter possibly ?, let me know n lookin for a tactical type black/.o.d. green belt in size 46 also , thanks bro > tom !
@@Steve-vx2xpWatch "Survival Instinct" "BK2 Beyond Abuse." He pounded on that skeletonized knife with a hammer for what looked like 1000 times before it broke. Skeletonizing it doesn't weaken it. The only time a skeletonized tang would matter is if you plan on inserting the blade into a tree and using the handle to support all your weight. And even then, it probably still wouldn't fail unless you're obese.
@@Steve-vx2xp I also prefer them not skeletonized. But I just don't think it weakens it, at least not substantially. And that's just my honest opinion. But to each his own. God bless.
