It must have had a defect in the heat treat or steel I imagine. Ive split a lot of wood with mine. I did break an old Cold Steel kukri riving a small cedar branch years ago. It was out of carbonV and I paid over a hundred bucks for it so imo it shouldnt have broke. I wasnt hitting it hard at all. I was going to contact them but the knife was stolen with the rest of my blade collection years ago so I never got the chance. I love the SP6, so much so that I lobbed off part of my Ontario Marine Raiders blade to match it. Its like an SP6 on steroids now.😊 I dont think I will be splitting anymore wood with my SP6 from now on. Im glad I found this video cause I really like my SP6 and spent a lot of time refinishing it so I would regret breaking it. I hate the coating on those Ontario blades. It hides the lack of finishing they do. They are rough once you get the coating off and it takes a lot of sanding to make thrm decent enough to refinish. They cut way better without the black coating. I always file down down the edge thickness as well. Ive refinished 4 of them and they all perform like good knives should now imo.

The case doesn't have two pins in the pommel, Its one pin that goes all the way through the pommel and tang, it's also manufactured by Ontario knives for Case, not that it matters very much anymore, Ontario was bought out last year, they closed shop, and all the employees were terminated.

Thanks, I thought it was just me lol

Please, Gerber MKII…

I plan to get a tom brown, but I know I'll be getting the Weyland.

Was that a Spec Plus fighter I saw broken on the cover? I've got the D2, 3rd Generation K-BAR Fighting/ utility knife w/ original Blade Tech kydex sheath. My OKC M9 bayonet is affixed to my M590A1.

Hey Gus just wondering what has happened to you sure miss watching your review videos of knives axe's khukuri's etc: I hope you are doing ok my friend and are well and hope you comeback and start making some more videos again when your ready. Your one of the few knife review guys I actually like on youtube because of your honesty. So I hope all is well with you.

Hi Ontario Is a legend. I own myself SP10 in 1095. Good it's back. Fingers crossed. This Condor looks pretty decent, as they make rather good durable stuff. I got the Moonshiner& I'm really happy with it. Thanks for the review. Regards

@4:57 you mention taking care of the leather handle. How do you taking care of those stacked leather rings?

i don´t think the small chrome and vanadium additions to 1095 crovan make the steel harder to sharpen, better edge holding or more stainless, it makes this steel a little more tough, nothing else. every maker who uses 1095 should change to 80crv2 , 1095 is one of the worst knife steels

Unfortunately the supplier says it is no longer made in japan.

The Grove is call a Fuller goes back to sword makeing

Great knife, served wall for years ,still one of the best

I just ordered the Knife👍

how does the weight of the weyland feel vs the toms?

Bought one.... it was a PIECE OF SH-T.....dull as fluck and the grind was uneven.

Didn’t Alan use the Heavy Duty Kukri by Condor?

Great to see that beautiful relationship between you and your Bismarck. My best friend just died after 12 years by my side.. was a german shepherd too. so cherish all those wonderful moments you have with him <3

I miss you TN Mountain folk.. I've got family in the Smokies that I haven't seen in years, and you might as well be one of my cousins haha.. You people are awesome. Oh, and great knife. Great vid.

My brother it’s been awhile since you posted anything. I hope you are well and will be back. You are missed. You helped me find my faith. I pray for you.

I’m considering buying one but I know one thing for sure: I wouldn’t be batoning with it when there are 2 tomahawks within an arm’s reach. 😀 Thanks for showing us the knife.

GreaT info BrotheR.

what's the symbol on the sheath? looks familiar but i can't place it.

Check out the "Condor Kephart" or "Bushlore". They’re made in El Salvador with 1075 steel and quite affordable

I picked up this same beautiful Bowie at Cabela's for $170. Thank you for explaining about whether or not to store it in or out of the sheath. Seems some people say it's fine to store it in the sheath, while others say not to. I immediately took mine out of the sheath after watching your video.

Kind of a poor man's USMC Ka Bar with a shorter blade. To my knowledge the saw on the back was designed to cut though aircraft aluminum, not wood , as it was more of a pilots survival knife......But I was Infantry, not Air Wing , so maybe I'm wrong. Lol.

Review made me get one. You ever try the Moonshiner? Looks good.

Why you doin all those test's on rocks🤔

I have a Camillus NY Ka-Bar knife that I got around 1980. I still have, have carried it for many years, and it still takes a razor sharp edge. All the leather portions are treated against moisture and rot and the handle has two pins, and was dipped in the same sort of tough coating. It held up really well. I also have a Glock field knife I bought from a young Marine who carried it in two deployments in AFG. He said what you said, everybody dumped the the bayonet into the seabag and bought another knife to carry, frequently a civilian Ka-bar or clone or a Glock field knife. He said the Glock knives were popular because they were light, didn't break, attached anywhere on the Molle easily and if damaged were only about $30 to replace. He said he mostly used his dad's old Buck 110 for things like opening MREs and used the Glock knife for stuff like prying things open, cutting wire, the sort of really rough stuff that knives aren't for. It's obvious that he broke the very end of the point off, and filed it smooth, and there's one chip in the blade. Otherwise it looks just fine.

That thing is purely designed as a stabby stab stab tool to perforate your enemy and as a wedge. A gimmick it has is the bottle opener function and a good balance for throwing. Other than that, any other knife which is heavier with a wider blade should work way better for bushcrafting.

Made one out of a Ontario butcher knife paid like $15.00 for it and had a hundred dollars worth of enjoyment making it like a kephart. Thin, and razor sharp. I keep it in my "Get Home" backpack thats in my car trunk.

I bought the exact same one a few years ago. But I use it in my kitchen for cutting Frozen stuff. The first time I saw it I knew it was something decent even though it was really cheap and price. The handle is pretty cool because you can hold it in any direction it's easy to keep sharp on a honing Steel.

How did you get that dark patina on the Plan A?

Amen brother

Thanks for the detailed review!

I have a few they are good knives for sure there is no way you will find one as good as this one for 11 dollars trust me you have to put some time into them when you first get them but well worth the time I got all of mine very sharp and they stay that way. thanks for sharing semper fi.

Keeping it "at the bottom of the bag" is such a legit downvote. It's worse than "discarded." because not only does it mean it was a waste of resources to make, but now the admins are forcing them to be an ongoing impediment to effectiveness.

This is a great video, I own 2 Tom Brown trackers , the SXB and the regular size tracker like the one you have. Both great knives and if Weyland is watching they’d be wise to fix the saw on their tracker to be as efficient or better than the one on the Tom Brown. Man videos like yours is the reason smart companies improve their products, and sorry ones don’t last because they didn’t take note’s. Once again thank you for sharing a great video.

That’s better than the beach ! - I know! I was born in Ohio/ got stuck in California -- super crowded and shallow ppl

Mr. Wolf Sir- do you think that the curls that the SXB cuts are too big to ignite?…. I already know the Tom Brown does great but it’s not a good self defense tool compared to the SXB evidently…. thanks and it’s a shame that the Raider Bowie is discontinued

Tops should drop the tom brown (shame on him) version, and concentrate on this beast,,.. Wish I could afford one,, I'll have to make do with my excellent Boker Tracker for now,, Great enthusiastic video,, thank you.. ps, regarding TBJ,.. The Lord pondereth the hearts of men...

Tops should drop the Tom Brown connection, and just call it the " Tops Tracker" ,, imho,, TBJ took the idea of Rob Russon, and got someone else to make it so he could get more money,, shame on him,,. Anyway, I think the Boker version is better, and much cheaper,,

The Tracker knife was actually designed by Rob Russon, and tom brown junior took the design and had it made elsewhere so he could get a bigger profit,,.. shame on him,, 😱😡😡

Hi ! My glock 81 has exactly the same gap between the handle and the blade So it must be normal
