    1095 is worse than 420hc in every way i believe. According to data sheets anyways. 1095 is a pretty awful steel and look at all it is capable of. Weve seen tops knives chop through steel pans with no damage. Modern steel is amazing no matter what type. Dont let the steel snobs talk you out of a great knife just because its not the popular type.

    My general thinking on Super steels is that they don't wear out as fast as other steels do, but if the break or chip, you're up the proverbial creek, because they are much harder to fix or re-profile. And if we're honest, most of the guys that complain about how easily some of the non-super steels wear or take damage don't actually know how to use a knife and use their knives for tasks a knife was not meant to do, to begin with.

    Those are so cool looking. Sometimes tools have their own functional beauty. Like Estwing steel framing hammers. The small forest axe has an especially nice shape. I don't really have a use for either of those but I want both 😂. I brought machetes from Costa Rica when I moved back after being there 9 years. It's amazing what you can do with machetes. I got really good leather sheaths down there too. I don't go to do yard work or camp without one. A little axe would be great if I camped more.

    First im not a band wagon guy, my choice of knife i have and carry is the yracker, a good heavy use all around one tool option, granted its not for everyone and i can see you point, it is a valid point, but its the only knife i have used. I am comfortable with it, its what i personally love. But everyone has their own opinion and thats what is so great, variety can be the spice of life. I have a full size tracker and a neck knife tracker as well both function awesome when im out in the woods, be it hunting, fishing, hiking, or general outdoor activities. My first one was a girlft from my gramps and i have been dedicated to learning how to use it. I think it comes down to what every you prefer, what matters is practicing with it, using it for everything and then you get comfortable with it. Thats the key. Yall have a blessed day. Stay safe out there

Dissecting that handle u would see that a lot of the work in that is in its construction. Either way respect and great video

    I wasn't convinced by the Garberg but once it came down in price I gave it a go, that was about 2 years ago and I don't mind admitting I was wrong. I live in the UK so it's perfect for this weather with it being stainless, like most people I did remove the secondary bevel and I also slightly convexed it, I have to say I don't really use anything else in the winter. The summertime I use a knife I made myself out of 01 tool steel, it was modelled of an American knife, made by Jeff white, I've recently finished making a yahut knife and my girlfriends just finished making me a traditional style sheath. Stainless is unfortunately a bit trickier to make and with my simple forge and equipment I couldn't do it.

    My thoughts have changed with my times camping or maybe it's because of age. I still love big bowie knives. But i really am hard pressed to find use for a large fixed blade. Meaning 7-10in. What i do find useful in spring a small machete. The condor terrachete or kabar cutless machete are my favorites. Now as far as bushcraft knife. I like the Garberg but not stock. I re-did the edge and made a kydex sheath. Next BPS adventurer and Aura. The only people that talk trash about BPS are people that haven't tried them. I find it funny they complain the steel is 1066. They don't understand thats Russian spring steel. So in America it would be 5160. Everyone loves 5160. But really i camp fish and small game so my knives are what useful for that. I find i like Mors kochanksi idea on knives. The BPS Aura is exactly what he described. Plus ive gotten lauri blades to make a few puukko knives. Personally I believe they are the most useful design. Plus they are the size you don't mind carrying. A survival knife in the drawer doesn't help in the field. Or my favorite can i use your knife mine is really expensive i don't wanna mess it up! Anyone else ever heard that. Where's your knife " i left it home i didn't wanna lose it, cause it's really expensive". I can't believe im the only one that's heard these excuses over the years.

    • @TheDavewatts
      @TheDavewatts 21 день тому

      I agree with everything you say, the older you get the more you come to realise that you don't need a big knife, I either have a Garberg or a Kansbol in my pack, in the Summer I use a knife I made myself out of o1 tool steel, a great simple steel to work with and heat treated correctly it's as good as any. As for spending ridiculous amounts of money on knives I agree with you most of these people are scared to use them and the knife lives in their draw. I think we argued about the BPS the other day on UA-cam, and thinking about what I said my complaints with 1066 was with a knife I owned probably 20 years ago and it wasn't made by BPS, so I will purchase the adventurer before I criticise it and check it out for myself. I was surprised by the Garberg so who knows maybe I will be again. 1066 is similar to 5160 not completely the same but close. 1066 is a very tuff steel but is prone to rusting, it is on the other hand an easy steel to maintain in the field. I will just force a patina on it should help, that and keep it well oiled. If I use this knife and discover I'm wrong about it, I'm never too proud to admit when I'm wrong and will let you know either way.👍🏻

      @@TheDavewatts I don't remember disagreeing but on UA-cam I gotten used to stating my point and not taking the argument with me. If you know what I mean. Everyone has a opinion non of us are wrong or right most of the time. Being men I believe we just like to compete. As far as the 1066 rusting I used olive oil and beeswax to coat my blade. I haven't had any issues with rust. The biggest thing the leather I treated with melted beeswax then snowseal on the outside. You are right the steels are a bit different but not on a level a user could ever figure. I haven't tried 01. I've been very happy with 80cv from lauri. My latest blade is supposed to be 62 hardness. They call them progressive temper. I'm very excited to try this. I really respect your decision to give something a try. It really takes a man to admit his mistakes. I hope I can do the same. Always enjoy your videos. You have a amazing collection.

    They have a great warranty, so I'd return it. They did have a bad batch that went out 2 or 3 years ago that they had problems with (and even showed it snap in half on video on their channel) but they apparently fixed the heat treat process on S35VN since then. That was a newer steel for ESEE at that time. They have a fantastic heat treat for 1095 but S35VN was a learning curve for them.

    No company will ever claim their steel is the best at everything. This is just silly, making a counter claim to a non-existent claim that no one other than, perhaps, users "UA-cam experts" would make. CPM 3V 30 years from now will still be considered to be in the top 10 of what is considered to be a well balanced, all-around great knife steel. Unless there is a miraculous leap in metallurgy, CPM 3V is an amazing knife steel. I base this claim loosely on the fact that it is already over 25 year and it is still in the top 10 (if they are being honest and paragmatic). CPM 3V is for many in the top 5 today.
