Very helpful video! U have great taste in knives!! 😃👍 When would u choose your Gunny knife? I have the ULB and i love it but am torn between Gunny next, or Aurora LT or Bravo....
Fabulous video. I wish I would ha e seen it sooner. You should do a video on sharpening equipment recommendations and techniques for various steels and grinds. Even if you only do A2 and CPM 3V it would be most helpful
Good video! I agree 100% that an easy to maintain knife is best especially in the woods. If need be a smooth river stone would sharpen the knife, thats not gonna happen with 3V. Knives are a series of tradeoffs. Pick the attributes that are most important to you and let that determine the steel choice. My favorite steel is O1 with my heat treat followed by A2. I am currently making a knife out of 3V but for the most part I prefer a knife that holds an edge for a reasonable amount of time and is easy to maintain.
Love your videos. In fact, you convinced me to acquire LT Wright Boattail Scandi. However, I find it strange that you don't own Bark River Lil' Canadian. I have it in thin stock 3V (2016 model) and I love it. It is my edc carry even though I have XL hands. No problem with finger groves at all. Great little knife and you should definitely try it.
Hey! Bark river just dropped a new bushcrafter LT which has a .125" inch thickness, I think it'll be amazing! but I dont know if i should get the bushcrafter lt or the ulb. Thank you for the awesome video ♥
Very good and honest presentation. It was smart of you to get most (or all?) of your knives in micarta. I often get seduced by nice wood scales which are never as practical as micarta.
I love Bark River, I have a couple, since you're into the smaller blades, I highly recommend the White Horse Knives Caper/Backpacker (same knife, but the Caper has scales)... if you have, or know an ESEE Izula, it's like a Izula turned to "11" and in S30V. The gimping is possibly the GOAT, at least for fixed blades... on par if not better than the legendary Spyderco Para II. The geometry is flawless.
