Great knives for sure!! Alex's idea to use "Fall-Off" scrap steel is a great one! Not having to take an actual knife apart and be without your knife, to make even just something to give you reach against a hungry mountain lion gives you twice the chance to survive! Good stuff Alex! Great video Mark!😎👍
Those are some very cool new items coming out, thanks for sharing. Also I think it's super awesome that you got to codesign a knife, right on! 😎👌Take care my friend and Cheers!
The design with tha robust tip, is beter suited for the Saber version. Bushcraft knives are better of with more pointy, more delicate tips.Different tools. I'd choose the saber, if I was going for this knife.
G'day Mark, very useful vid mate, considering they're so tough to come by, initially anyway. And a good enough look to get a grasp, (pardon the pun), too. I like that spear head from a survival perspective, as well as the recycling aspect. In the absence of a factory one, I'd be making a removable bolt on knife handle from redgum or other hardwood; then just replicate it on a spear chucking shaft as required ....... perhaps a walking pole could be pre-configured ; ) Cheers Duke.
@@MarkYoungBushcraftYep the extra leverage is a game changer. Takes practice, but that's half the fun of it ; ) It does look to be fairly weighty, especially in comparison to simply sharpening a stick. Been a long while personally, though like launching any projectile, fair to say, start close up, not only to get the feel, but less distance to retrieve it upon a miss ; )
I have the original wtg forester in black when it first released w/black leather sheath. Hard to beat that 1. The spear point is interesting also as it can be lashed easily.
Good question. I have not heard any different. If I do, I will add a comment to this video. Of course, it would change on the website as well. Thanks for commenting
Hi, do you know if some of the sellers (producer) sending to Europe, Norway? Thanks for answer and wish a lot of power, luck and health to make these really nice and interesting videos...
On your way to being a famous knife maker, or just trying to sucker me into buying another knife? 😀 I can’t ever see myself waiting on my computer to race to buy a knife. I got enough of them for now anyway….for now.
I agree Jim. There is a large community of buyers that are more collectors than users. If there is a knife you like the looks of. Maybe something I had a hand in designing..hint, hint, you can buy it from Wild Coast Camping here in Nova Scotia
@@MarkYoungBushcraft Ahhhh Mark, you’re evil! Just trying to separate me from my money! 😀. I just got the skrama and now this?! I’ll see what the Canadian price is, and maybe, because I do want a slightly bigger knife, but since I have that beast, and several 4” knives like the grohman ones, and a finish one that is just so dam pretty to use, I’m thinking of a scandi at around the same size. I dunno for sure though. It does seem like a pretty good "all around" shape. I like to think long on purchases. Especially something like a knife that’ll probably stay with me for a really long time .
Work-tuff knives seem great if you’re a reviewer, and get them for free, I’d love to own one of my choice. Alas if you aren’t quick you miss out! It’s time to allow customers to buy one instead of giving twenty or thirty away to reviewers. Drop shopping sucks and I’m not interested in pressure sales. Work-tuff isn’t the only knife on the market, but if you’re a RU-vid watcher you’d think so, time to change your business model Work-tiff gear. Otherwise I’m losing interest very fast. Make more of expand your manufacturing, if it ain’t available I’m not chasing it.
G'day Colin, fair points mate. They do have some very very compelling designs due to the business model, but no, I wont be buying on a lottery basis either. For those that will, I do think this vid was a useful heads up though. Cheers Duke.
I agree with a couple of your points too. Seems to me, and I could be wrong, that they try to generate hype this way to improve sales. Fair enough, they’re a private company and they aren’t lying. It’s also likely they don’t believe in their choices, so they let early trends show them what to continue and what not. Again, another thing they’re totally allowed to do, but like you, I couldn’t give a tinker's cuss about hype around a knife. As you said, there are plenty of knives out there, and a lot of almost identical ones too. So I’ll take my time and shop for something when I’m ready.
