Noice!!! Glad you like it buddy. The scales are thin because Kepheart was into lightweight gear so he used that style coupled with a tomohawk. The spine is rounded because there was no such thing as a ferro rod when kepheart was alive, so they didn't use the spine of the knife for scraping wood and such or at least kepheart didn't.
@Dr_Rez I dint remember any knives here in Europe with a shared spine pre 2000,s not a single one....sorry there was one it ws opinel other than that none
Had my BK62 for a few years and it's a great camping /bushcraft knife! As for Bruno, he's very entertaining keep him in all your videos! Most dog's are better than most humans!
The BK62 is on my ever-growing list of wants. Ethan Becker and Dan Eastland of Dogwood Custom Knives worked together on reproducing it. Dan is the one who made the cool chef's knife you might have seen in some of my videos. He also makes his own take on this knife, including a shorter version of it. It looks like your package is still sitting in Dublin. Merry Christmas? 😒 Give Bruno and Cooter a scratch. Stay frosty.
@@RedBranchBushcraft the F1 is a fantastic knife for the price, and i highly recommend it. It won't beat the Varuste knife in terms of value, but definitely a step up if you're willing to double the cost.
does everything you need it to and nothing more, which is all i want in a knife, i hate over engineered knives, this is a simple knife, practical blade shape, decent steel for what the knifes intended use is, not to large, fits in the hand just right, simple build. its the kind of knife i would be confident to say will never let me down edit: first 2 things you did are literally the 2 things its not designed to do, since horace kephart always had an axe for splitting, and carried matches. which is what any sensible bushcrafter would do, the "knife should do everything" mentality is what kept me from enjoying bushcrafting
@@RedBranchBushcraft i get that, it just bugs me when people do it to knives clearly not meant for that, i once saw a guy at an event i went to testing a knife and baton it, then he complained about how it snapped in half, it was a cheap chinese made off the shelf kitchen knife. but with you, you know its not meant for that, its just your standard process, so it doesnt bug me as much, just makes me wince a bit
@@RedBranchBushcraft i was skeptical about it after i saw the video of ethan becker talking about how he fell in love with it, but once i got it in hand, i was sold, it just melts into your hand
SORRY THAT YOU’VE BEEN ILL! Hope that you are doing better and continue to get better! But does it Cut anything but wood? SORRY, but kind of a weak review. PLEASE Take a couple of weeks to see what it can really do and I would love to see an update!
dont think so man.............................................lol , id say with that blade profile it would be a great slicer, so very good at game prep. meal prep and camp tasks. its a nice knife
