      Interesting thinking! That could absolutely work, specially when it is quite new. After using them for a while we have holes in them and also not that straight anymore because we let the fire burn on it for a short while when fire making. The heat changes the shape a bit. Going to give it a test soon😄👍

    I have an A1 Pro, S1 Pro and EmblA. All have Lam COS. The Embla is essentially an F1 Pro, but it has desert ironwood instead of thermorun handle. Also had a TK6 and gave it to a friend for deer dressing. That Frej is closest to my S1 Pro. It's about the most perfect size and width for survival bushcrafting

    • @westcoastbushcrafters

      If the temptation reaches a high and makes you order the Nord, please have a look at the 4 mm version in Sleipner and maybe the Nordlys is also interesting. We have not tested an Esse knife yet but the RB3 looks like a great knife.

    I'm not a fan of the Garberg. The lack of a finger-guard on a hard-use knife is a bad design choice. A slip can happen so easily out in the wild (cold hands, sleep deprivation), its simply not worth the risk. So, I love Mora, but not the Garberg.

    • @westcoastbushcrafters
      @westcoastbushcrafters 7 днів тому

      You have a point there. If that risk is identified better go for a safer option. What knife/ knives do you prefer when being out in the wild?

    What is the West Coast Bushcrafters favorite company if you had to pick only one company to buy knives from. I would appreciate your opinions considering how much you guys use different knives. I personally own 10 Bark River Knives and would recommend them to anyone whether bush crafting, chopping, kitchen use or fightng. Incredible company. Thanks for your videos fellas, really enjoy them.

    • @westcoastbushcrafters
      @westcoastbushcrafters 14 днів тому

      Thanks for the hard question haha :-) Really happy that we don't have that problem. We really like the LT Wright knives (even if we only have 3 of them in our knife collection) and that feels like a safe choice. We go for that. Bark River Knives would also be a choice (diversity & great quality) but this simplicity and quality of LT Wright Knives is just awesome. Another knife company that could have been a candidate in a better world would be Beaverknife. Unfortunately they did not deliver 3 knives we bought last time (and that is 3 years ago now).

    Thank you for the review folks, based on it I purchased the Anorak 8. I noticed that the dark gray looks urban-enough so what I tested out is to use it for street photography. The front pocket is big enough to fit a mirror-less camera with medium size lens. Which enables me to just walk around, no backpack or camera bag, no cross-body camera strap, not worried about pickpocketing and not attracting attention.This is primarly my outdoor anorak for walks in the nature, but discovered also this additional use-case where the Anorak 8 works surprisingly well so thought I'd share.

    I've know idea if you know this. But Green River Knives, came out in about 1832 or 1836. I've found two dates for when they where first made. They put the Kephart knife in its place. Seems if you tag a knife a Kephart, its goes up in price to the point where I cant afford one. So big deal. I have four Green River knives. Bought them back in the late 1970's early 1980's. And they are still going strong. But then again, I only use them for knife type jobs. So no chopping or splitting wood.

    • @westcoastbushcrafters
      @westcoastbushcrafters 18 днів тому

      Didn’t know that. Had to look up Green River Knives. Impressive with the long history of knife making and awesome to hear you purchased them is the 70’s - 80’s. Most likely I never had to hold a full tang knife those days😅. It is great that the legacy of Horace Kephart is keeping strong. And yes that is being used in marketing. Cool to hear you were there before this. Lovely to hear the knives are still going strong. Hope you and your knives continue with that💪. Thanks for your comment!

      @@westcoastbushcrafters My first Green River knife was a kit, that I had to build, and I still have it and use it. Its a great kitchen knife. Also, not sure any one else mentioned this, but the Kephart knife, does resemble the Green River Dadley knife. You should look that up. I have acquired a Kephart blade blank from Condor tool and knife, and I am in the process of putting handle scales on it, but it really is not that impressive. But I guess it will make a nice kitchen knife. Take care and stay sharp.

When you do such things hydration is vital and so your hydration sources need to be readily accessible, without having to not only go "inside" the pack but not requiring you to remove other kit to get at the bottles. With this pack one could use a water bladder like a CamelBak. The pack also have all of those pockets and pouches one can add to the outside. Instead I see someone putting their water bottles *in* the pack, under gear

    In my collection ive three BPS knives, the BP1 i use often. Why change a perfectly good cheap knife ? A friend had the bushmate and as many, the scales came lose after only moderate use. I never use a knife for anything other than a cutting tool, preferring to carry a small hatchet and folding saw for other tasks. Even so, the original Bp1, almost a year of use, absolutely no problems.

    I thought of it as a camping kitchen knife. One you could take to the field to prepare your dinner? I'd like to see that.

      Yeah we can give that a try together with some other big knives😁👍

    I love this knife, I did do some MODS to it, like others have done I removed the square edge at the end of the blade to enable my hand to get closer to the cutting edge, this made a massive difference when doing more detailed carving tasks, or even feather sticks. Another thing I have to mention is Condor has amazing customer service, in fact I've never had better from any other knife company.

    I wasn't convinced by these knives when they first come out, maybe the price put me off, I picked one up really cheap a couple of years ago and I instantly loved it, it felt great in the hand, after some stropping it was razor sharp, I love this knife it's been my main belt knife since I got it, its all the knife you need, I don't mind saying I was wrong, I would have not been disappointed if I paid full price.

      Fits the hand very well isn’t it? Thanks for sharing your experience!

    I've had this knife for 6-7 years, an absolutely fantastic knife, i have the scandi carbon version with big oak scales. It has to be the most comfortable knife to use. The Forrest knife is definitely a perfect description.
