I have the Cold Steel Finn Wolf. I simply love it. A very strong puuko style folder with all of the features a bushcraft knife needs. It's one of the few folders with a scandi grind. It also has a 90 degree spine.
I'm an outdoorsman,and Maori,from New Zealand, Aotearoa,and ive quite a collection myself,Cold Steel,Mora,Fallkniven,Buck,Svord(NZ),CRKT,Case,Leatherman,and a typical, "KIWI",Traditional,"Green River pattern",Farmers,Hunters sheath knife/Butchers knife,"old school,which is my Camp,Kitchen,seafood knife. Tena Korua,(Greetings,you two).
Some of these knives will serve you for an hour or two, but are definitely not for Bushcraft at any real level. Rounded spines, cr chinese steel, hollow grinds, these are for people who might make a sharp stick to cook hot dogs or marshmallows. Maybe a short hike, or a couple days of car camping.
I have been using a mora bushcraft black since 2016 it has never had a problem . I want to get a garberg or another bushcraft scandi style knife but I always just stay with what I have why mess with the formula . Great video btw I would watch this format every time even if it was three hours
The Mora is the best known budget blade, but the Hultafors GK Heavy Duty Knife is a bit better deal, a bit more comfortable handle, and a bit tougher knife.
Bushcraft blade is the blade you choose to satisfy your specific needs in specific zone you enter like as desert, jungle, highlands, woods, … So it’s up to users budget, accessibility, experience, size, gender, priority, habits, wisdom, even statistics preferences and many more factors.
I love my mora’s. I have the originals and the bushcraft one. Great around camp light work blades. I’m planning on getting a condor parang to be my heavy use blade.
I have a ton of knives but it seems like cpm 3v and cpm magnacut is the go to on the mid to high end and 1095 kind of on the lower to mid tier however I've been noticing some knife makers use 1095 and charge premium prices for it.
Bought a Mora companion spark and a Casstrom No 10 recently. Probably the mora perform better but the casstrom looks pretty. I think I’ll try a Joker next
the Condor Terrasaur is also ambidex sheath, I have one and I really like it! that is a solid sturdy budget knife! I prefer it over the garberg which I have too.
For the sub 100$ range: Have you tried the Terävä Jääkäripuukko, and around the 100: something from Joker knives in spain? The Jääkäripuukko is like a Mora you can't break. And from Joker i got the Nomad: N690, convex and and one of the sharpest knives out of the box i ever bought.
My favorite's are: Budget : Mora Bushcraft Black. Premium: Lionsteel M4 (M390) It takes some reprofiling to make it work as it should. Hi-End: TRC Mille Cuori (Vanadis 4 Extra) + Survive knives GSO 4.5 (CPM 3V). My edc is a Manly Patriot (D2). I also love my custom knives made with forged Ballbering steel. that steel performance,is second to none. Outperforms CPM 3V on edge retention easily (almost 2 times more) while having the same toughness and even better edge stability in my experience. The only knife that I would get if I could, from all those shown here, is that Marauder Knife and Tool at 1:23:07 Not for the looks, but because I know how a great knife design looks, when I see one, since I'm more of a user than a collector,since I was raised in the mountains of Crete,where knife is status here and people don't go crazy if you have a fixed blade on your belt, they do though, if you don't!
Jaktkit is jakt- meaning hunt, hunting & -kit like kit in english since it is an english word so hunting kit , knv is kniv ie knife but not with a silent k like in modern english knife, knight, know but like in scottish fex kirk Kniv ~k-n-iv or KeNeave or Q-Neave
Both of the Flissa D2 full tang knives should have been on this list. They are both $20 and are amazing. Much better than Mora, pretty much the same as Bestech Hedron but for $80 less.
With respect to the Pathfinder, Battle Horse and LT Wright knives...LT and Dan (of Battle Horse) used to run a company called Blind Horse Knives, and they made the original Pathfinder knife designed by Dave Canterbury for the TV series...
This is very interesting and you two guys are reall passionates :) BTW, the 3rd knife is not "bushcraft series". It's the Kansbol. It would have been nice to add the name of the knives in the video itself because sometimes we can't even figure out the name when it's too uncommon. I know it's in the description, but still... :) And it was a loooong video. Each segment should have been a video by itself. It's hard to keep focused for that long when there are so many details and info.
I need to get in on the next run of T17.4's. I might stray from the design of my T17 (now the .6) and my .3 (Black G10 with orange liners). I like the Burlap Micarta.
Haven't made a batch in a while but man they are beautiful. TFK is quite busy but hopefully I'll get another batch ready in the near future. We have another project slowly in the works
Bushcraft, survival is just marketing. Anyone that was raised doing outdoor activities before youtube. The one term was wilderness survival. . Some how the knife companies marketing division figured you call something survival you could make more money. So they built over done knives just incase someone actually uses it. Now Bushcraft knives are survival knives that are actually designed to use, at least some. I guess my point is don't worry about marketing and labels. Figure what you want to do. Then get a knife that does it well.
@@richardhenry1969 well first off you just talk about Bushcraft or survival is just marketing.... Sure there are marketing aspects to it but there is also a whole lot more for instance two different sets of skills. Do you think Mors kohanski wrote about Bushcraft because it was simply a marketing term or perhaps it had more behind it that was full of useful skills for people to learn? Also overbuilt knives are simply just the evolution of the tool. Many companies and makers have gotten much better using better materials and have been able to make knives that can do far more than older knives did while still functioning and not breaking. In large part it gives the person the ability to carry just a knife and maybe a saw rather than something much heavier like an ax or a large chopper or machete. It allows you to use your knife like a wedge for splitting notching batoning and many other things. The only part of your entire comment I agree with is yes don't worry about marketing and labels however if something is labeled for Bushcraft while it may be a marketing term it's also an indication of what that tool might be good at. Just like when you go to the store and you buy athletic shorts. Is the label or marketing term athletic wear or athletic shorts bad...? No... It's simply a way to narrow down what you are looking for in the product. Lastly, thicker knives that don't slice as well are not a bad thing either. Let's take access for example, you have thin hard and sharp swedish axes then you have giant heavy fat almost blunt splitting mawls. Generally you would carry one of each if you were trying to accomplish a job. It's the same with knives just because you have a relatively chunky knife that performs a bit more like an ax doesn't mean you aren't going to have a thin slicy pocket knife.
@@Buckeyes216 Having owned one and see them made they are ground on a slack belt. A true appleseed convex grind. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nBkggfa3j9w.htmlsi=5X_e1OHNSAG8dzOu
@@raymondscott6680 I’m aware. Mine has a convex grind. Ask Mike Stewart himself. He’ll tell you that the bravo is a convex grind. Do you own one? If so, go get it and check for yourself.
Still doin your TFK series? Was on their website recently and didnt see much. Dude your blades are awesome I hope they are I kick myself for not getting in on one when you were doing your batches life was happening at the time lol
This is an old man story about knives. About 70 years ago two kids got two different knives. One guy got an original Mora with the wood handles the other kid got a Canadian knife. 70 years on we still argue of what is better. Truth? We just agree my Canadian is better. Why? My friend would have to admit that with his better rifle I killed and processed more Cap Bufs than he did. The term “bush craft” is for me a new thing and I don’t understand why it’s important to beat a knife up to make fire wood. For me having a knife that could clean a horses hove was important. And if absolutely necessary hammer in a shoe nail. To be truthful. Idiots picking a knife blade they will never use is the same topic as what caliber of rifle is the best. My answer will always be the same. A Canadian 5” and a 9.3X 62 bolt rifle. Yes I’m a FUD but tell me how good you can gut and process an elephant or a hippo and don’t bring up the ulu.. carved a whale as well
I sell those directly myself but I don't have any in stock currently. If you would like to discuss possibilities please reach out to me at outerlimitless@gmail.com Thanks!
I've never understood the 'hype' around Winkler knives. Every single one of his outdoor tactical knives looks like it was made by a beginner! Boring design, simple materials. There's nothing spectacular or beautiful about the steel, the handle scales, or the sheath fittings. When I started making custom knives over 10 years ago, my worst knife looked better than any of these Winkler knives. Winkler's history is nice and all, and it's fine that he made a tomahawk or knife here and there for SEAL Team 6, but that doesn't mean his knives are worth the hype.
Nessmuk designs for bushcraft is stupid, IMO. The Nessmuk belly is made for skinning, which anyone who calls a scandi a good skinner is not a hunter. Along those same lines, it's weird how Cantenbury makes his entire line of knives all scandis even though a few of them are specifically called skinners. Absurd.
If you heirloom a chinese made knife to your kids I feel bad for them. Especially considerjng we'll as likely as not be at war with them before you get to pass it down...
