I'm a Dirty by Design PKS Scorpion fanboy myself. Works just great. No need to replace it or add to the collection. The trap you created is something I've never seen before. VERY interesting.

Great job Andrew now I want 1

Years ago I watched Dave Canturberry on the show Dual Survival and have been watching him here on RU-vid for years, I recently saw accusations that he was fired from Dual Survivor for lying about his military service, what do you know about this??? With all that has been floating around it is alleged he claimed he was an Army Ranger and a Sniper.

What’s the difference between the mountaineer and the survival ? Just the handle or ?

What I love about your videos is it’s all info. No fluff. Get right to the point. Nice job.

You can not beat perfection! There was a lot of education packed into less than 20 minutes and the bonus of a knife review. Thank you for uploading this one.

My favorite teacher! Thanks for all your knowledge, and for your service! 🇺🇲

I would bet my life on SRO knives for survival. A question: when hammering the butt since the tang is flush, do the scales loosen or break?

Well I must say that I'm sorta surprised that there's no comments critical of the use of 1095 steel, and that the knife will need an occasional touch up. Most everybody is bragging about the "super steels" Looks to be an adequate knife to me, although I prefer a flat grind Thanks for the video

This was one of your more cooler videos. I have never seen this ''A" Trap before.

Most review videos are just reading the specs and maybe using the product for something very basic. But what I LOVED about this video is that you included so much concise, no-nonsense educational content in the process of trying out the knife. It's a nice looking knife, I was looking at it on the SRO website last night. I can't afford it right now, but it's on my wishlist now that I see how well it performed in your video. If your future review videos follow the same structure of including so much truly educational content I will watch them even if I'm not interested in the product. Great job Andrew, keep up the great work putting out awesome videos!

Beautiful knife. I by far prefer a machete, kukri, or shovel. Much more versatile. It is bulkier, tho. Thus, if I need to be light, either a neck knife, or a multitool will do.

Great video. Just the facts, no whining. I started bushcrafting about 4-5 years ago, after roughly 11 years incarcerated. I learned most everything from another channel. Guy turned out to be something different then I thought. I enjoy your straight forward, no nonsense style and have learned a lot here as well. Thank you. Stay safe bro.🙏🇺🇲🙏🇺🇲

Just purchased the skinner only took about one week to get to the UK there definitely worth it waiting for the mountaineer to be stocked its funny you start with 1095 then go exotic then you realise with the right heat treat 1095 is all i ever needed

Great video, Andrew! 👍🏻✌🏻 A knive review combined with Survival Training techniques. Great content! Thx a lot and greetings from Germany 🙋🏻‍♂️

PKS once sold the blade only and allowed you to put scales on. It was a fun project at a bargain price.

hearth is pronounced "har - th", not "hear-th". Same as "heart"

It looks like the "Basic Buschraft" or "PLSK1" reborn. I've had both. I passed the PLSK1 to someone who could use it because I was stuck on my BHK Scout, but I do have the PKS Basic Bushcraft still and that's not ever going to be passed on to anyone (except my grandson). It's one of the never-sell knives in my stable. It's perfect in so many ways.

Always new and reliable information… I can always tell when someone is an expert in their field… They make it look easy… I am amazed at your expertise in your field… And also your gift of teaching.. Thank you so much for all you do to share these important survival techniques (both basic and advanced)… Have a safe and blessed week🙏🏻😍

I ask the question why wouldn't you endorse a product for the company you work for? It's a poor frog that won't croak for its own pond. Great content showing the ability of a single knife to do multifunction.

That knife looks like it's very heavy duty and will last a very long time. However, I can't help but wonder how long the wooden scales will last. Are they treated with anything to help them with stand the elements ?

You got me sold, lol. Not that I need another bushcraft knife. But this does look rugged and dependable. I like the Scandi grind too.😎🇺🇸💪

Excellent video as always. You get better and better as a teacher/instructor. Keep it up!

Andrew is the best. If You want the know how you’d be hard pressed to find a better instructor ANYWHERE! He’s not just a RU-vid teacher but a highly skilled “real life professional” Thanks for your time and information Andrew.

I like it very PLSK1 -Ish ! Want one Thank You Major outstanding !

As someone who owns this knife in my extensive collection I would rate it as a B. Not the most comfortable in my hands also prone to rust . Solid video and demonstrations as usual hooah!

Awesome video Andrew, you always crush it in these skills videos. One skill I think would be a cool integration for these knife and skill review videos is “can your one tool option skin and process game like squirrel or fish.”

An unashamed 'plug' for that specific knife .. one knife out of others out there that will perform as well. But then, if one likes the product, it does what it is supposed to do, the price is acceptable, then why not? An unashamed plug acting as 'front man' for some very informative and well-presented outdoor skills instruction. Well done!

Uff. I will never spend a lot on a knife. Mostly bc of financial limitations. But for north of $140, you don't even get a sheath for this knife. According to website.

Hearth board...pronounced harth, like heart. ❤

Could u do a video of the shadow stick method? Sorry if u already covered this but the way u explain things really help me understand. I understand the basics of the shadow stick but feel like you can help me understand it better

Wooo! Thanks, Andrew!! Appreciate all you do!

I have a habilis srt and a tops viper scout, fantastic combo for my needs. Oh and a mora 511 as a backup.

Saw this on the website and have been thinking about picking one up

Funny how well that bright orange blends in with the dry brush. A blue cloth would be handy to go with it.

Looks like a quite capable tool , thanks for the demo .

You really put that knife through its paces. Great video

Great knife it is definitely my one tool option

Most would prefer a tomahawk or machettee

I’ve been wanting to get a PKS was looking at the mountain lion which is similar blade length but this is probably better suited. I also have the Jeff White knives bush knife which was from selfrelianceoutfitters. Love the heavy steel with the nice wooden handles.

That looks like a great knife. I like the curve that the knife has. Thanks for all the knife skills that you demonstrated.

Cutting lots of wood with this. TBH after my time in the northwoods....I would be looking at the effect of the greenwood sap on the blade. Good basic knife. A task I have taught so many scouts in the late 80s. Clean the knife...Clean the knife. A "sappie",dirty, or bloody, etc knife left that way is time wasted later. Great video.

Keeping it simple and basic with respect and repetition makes learning easy. And having one additional aspect to add keeps the critics guessing. Love your work!❤

Thank you the great demonstrations of what can be done with a quailty knife

Great gear review. Learning the techniques while putting the tool to task. 2fer!!

Thats a nice knife. Good demo vid. Thank you for shareing that with us all.

Great video! Thanks

Love the store, good price on a reasonably supplied IFAK.

The PKS knives are good. Scary sharp. I used my Scorpion XL last week to carve notches in a try stick and figure 4 trigger. Those knives do the job. That PKS survival knife should be an excellent one as well. Nice demo, Major. Bravo Zulu.

Outstanding job my friend

Of course you're going to promote products for the company you work for. I wouldn't take anything from Pathfinder if they gave it to me. The fact rhat you work with or for a lier and ethically challanged person brings your ethics into question also question also. Everything on the Pathfinder site is overpriced and not as good as Canterbury tries to make it sound.

Xlnt review Andrew,Your Skills & Prowess make this knife scream like a Banshee,One & Done! Cheers!

What’s the difference between this knife and the mountaineer knife

Thanks for not showing your hand cuff tricks.😊

Not interested in product endorsements... But love your videos!!!!

If you're excited about it, so am I. Per usual, thank you much.

Sharpening steel is a must…

Nice knife. Your demonstration skills are a great performance test for any tool, this video is an excellent proof of performance. Thanks!

I wondered what the big deal was and now I do. Nice knife and great review!

Great video

Great review, definitely want the knife

Sir, T Y again for a thoughtful essay. I like the lanyard loop & a snug but open tunnel loop sheath. I would consider some kind of a holed ball threaded onto the short lanyard to facilitate grasping the handle quickly. Beware of catching the loop on something & losing the knife, though. This knife is definitely mostly a purely survival one, & not a dedicated combat weapon. Very good as a backup as a cutting & splitting tool to a tomahawk, axe, or hatchet. Also good as an all-around primary survival knife for traveling light without chopping tools. For a combat knife I generally prefer a 6 1/2 inch double-edged blade, or a long Bowie or Kukri, all with some sort of cross guard. Bowies have doubled as a rifle pit shovels.

Sold me on this knife!

Thanks Andrew. I always appreciate your videos. Your content shows very interesting and relevant uses for equipment.

Excellent video and review. Thanks Andrew.

Absolutely great knife! Great video!

Great review, but will it replace your Mora?

How much does the knife weigh?

Great video.

Another outstanding video

What model is this knife?

Totally awesome knife , I gotta have one.

another great video💪👍

You won me over on this knife

Loved this video! Thanks

Had a PKS knife once, liked it so much I gave it away😂. It seemed to be of decent quality but I found the handle (very similar to this one being shown) just wasn't comfortable to use. Might be good for some but I found I prefer handles on knives like the Mora Garberb and Kansbol or the Terävä Jääkäripuukko. They just seem to fit the hand better. Good looking knife and glad they are made in USA (unlike many Pathfinder branded products).

Best down and dirty content in all of RU-vid

Love your channel. I appreciate most all pathfinder gear. However, i really don't like scandi grind blades, regardless of the fact this knife is well made with excellent components. My suggestion would be the Condor "skirmish" for less than half the price. And it comes with a significantly better sheath as well! With due respect.

Ooooh that’s nice I need one in my life!

Great demo and review

Hello. I bought my PKS Survival knife 4 years ago, as of yesterday, to replace my PLSK1 (Dave Canterbury and Battle Horse Knives collaboration knife) as my EDC belt knife. There's nothing wrong with the PLSK1. I just want to make sure that it is in amazing shape when it gets passed down. I have definitely put the Survival knife through some rough stuff and it has performed every task I need it to. The only issue I've had was last summer when the micarta handle scales came loose. Expecting to hear that it wasn't covered under the warranty, I emailed them anyway. The next morning I received a reply and all they asked for was a couple of close up photos showing the issue. After sending them that, I received an email return slip to ship it to them to get fixed. They not only fixed the handle, but they touched up the edge and the 90 degree spine. I currently own 4 knives from Dave and couldn't be happier with them.

that netting needle is for largish nets, usually needle width is 1/4 to 2/5 of mesh to allow room for the line and moving the needle easily, no epert but was taught by experts, grandfather was fisherman with several friends/colleagues and we spent many rainy/stormy/frozen days with them mending nets.. so I have some experience.

All these knives are useless anyway! When will this stupid fad finally end? When will the kids who wear this grow up? :D Take an ax for chopping and a Swiss Army knife instead of a knife :D.

Thank you for this survival manual! Beautiful blade, but I have an original ESEE-4 for a long time, so I stick with that…

Good stuff!

Algorithm comment

I like your videos & the knife looks interesting.... Why would you subscribe to a Crap term like "1 tool option" ??

"Hearth" does not rhyme with "earth," but is pronounced "harth."

Great 👍

Hi Andrew , greetings from Australia, thank you for your time to make this video. That knife looks like the highlander bhk, except a bit smaller, it looks a great knife, skills are the main things,

Thanks, Andrew. Another informative video. I bought one of their mountaineer knives similar to yours and like it very much. The trap was a new variation for me.👍

Great Demonstration as usual Andrew! RLTW!

Excellent videos! I watched all the videos on the channel. The topics you convey on the channel are very interesting. Especially everything related to survival.and bushcraft

Great video buddy

Sorry, I am a Jacklore Classic kind of guy, but this knife can do the job and that is important! Nice video!

I love knives without guards because they help me in the modern world, where identifying morons is essential to survival. Christ.

There's really only one quality or feature that a knife must possess to make it your best " survival" knife .......... ...it has to be the knife you have with you when you need a knife.

Thank u agine for takeing ur time to make another awsome video like always would love to have shuch a awsome great knife like it would love t on meet u some time an possible go on a few day survival c!moping trip for a few days with only a few things ..thanks agine for your time ....have a blessed won

I have one of the originals made by Dan Coppen when he and LT Wright were still together. Its one helluva blade and been my go to for nearly 20 years.
