Which is better ? An expensive knife made from high end steel by a well known manufacturer or one made from economic steel by a not so famous knife maker ? Can they compete ? Can they have close prestation ? Lets find out !
You 're right, in big part of it. BRK is a extremely good 🔪. The only thing is I don't consider the price difference justified. As I said, probably the BRK will hold its edge longer. It cuts better and at the end of the day is better. But the cat can do the same job in slightly lesser performance. And taking in consideration the price, is almost as good as BRK, so, for someone who value money, could be the best option.
@@pokeba3299Hi ! this is not a good question in my opinion. Obviously, the beat steel gives you the best feeling. As I said the BRK feels better. But only a bit. I don't think that a bit of good feeling worth the money difference.
Hello. It's a matter of taste. And in the same time I think the fact that I found it very cheap, around 50 euro was a deal maker. At that time I was skeptical about their knives and I wanted something not very pricey. Now I have from them also the buscrafter on wich I spent around 100 euro.
@@bushcrafteruldeweekend7421 Thanks. I want to buy one but I’m undecided which will be more helpful for bushcraft and wood carving. I’m eying for now a Nessmuk and a Montanero. I think the slightly curbed handle is more comfortable than a straight one, also I like the shape of the blade, unfortunately I have not enough experience to make the right choice.
Well, the nessmuk is more a hunting knife than a bushcraft one. The shape of the blade makes it unfit for wood carving. Montanero is more suited for that. In the same time, if you want to split big pieces of wood with the knife, more apropriate is the nomad. But, in my opinion, for tasks of a bushcraft knife I think montanero is better .
@@bushcrafteruldeweekend7421 I also have the same opinion regarding wood carving: a less wide blade is better. But for batoning, astonishingly many youtube bush-crafters say that nessmuk works very well. I just saw in a spanish video an interesting crafting of a water recipient from a wood branch using a joker nessmuk. It appears evident that the width of the blade is very helpful in batoning the branch along the entire length, horizontally, so that it splits in a straight line.

In my opinion you can't have a perfect knife you can have a jack of all trades Wich in my opinion from joker is the Lynx. Now we can talk also about your skills. If you are skilled enough you can use a big knife to do the job of a smaller one. I' m not a big fan of batoning and I like to use the proper tool for the job. Now I use a little knife from Decathlon. :)) It's a crappy one but I want to demonstrate to a kid that what is more important is the skill and not the tool.
