  • While there are many knives in the list, these are towards the top for me choosing a blade to run as a primary bushcraft blade.

    I’ve found for ME personally the BEST bushcraft/woods set up is with these three tools- a Bark River Gunny LT or similar knife preferably convexed(for actual cutting, notching, fine carving), paired with a “ray mears” style Parang Duku Chandong chopper, and a Silky saw of your choice… If you’ve NEVER used/owned a Malaysian Parang(Malaysian jungles have similar harder woods more like USA) I’d highly suggest trying one, it’s lighter/less cumbersome than carrying an axe with more versatility/uses, the “reverse kukri” blade shape combined with the forward weight rat tail tang, convexed edge, and ability to COMFORTABLY choke up on the thin/short balanced part of the blade for fine carving is just amazing… it’s a TRUE “one tool” bushcraft option if there ever was one, and combined with a short fixed blade and saw(all 3 still probably lighter and easier to carry than a single axe!) it’s just an unstoppable trio-There’s NOTHING better I’ve found for me personally

      Nick Hall . Totally agree about the Duku Chandong and the Silky but you can keep the Bark River!! I can think of 10 other knives I'd rather have.. Ben Orford, Tony Harding or even Ray Mears comes to mind.

      I asked him about that he said he gets more views showing knives.
      I just stopped by to see if he still was talking about knives that are overpriced. But he never show why his choices make sense.
      I personally don't see the need for overpriced name brands. This clown just pushes the youtu.be marketing bull.

    I'm in Canada, so White River Ursus 45 and M1 are my picks. With the snow I don't wanna worry about rust and I need something that works well with big mittens. And I have GBA's and Silkies to take care of bigger tasks.

    How do you sharpen your BRK Bushcrafter? I have the BRK 2 and I’m not sure the best angle or tool to use for them. Anyone else please feel free to chime in. Thanks!

    • @AlaskanFrontier1
      @AlaskanFrontier1  3 місяці тому

      Typically the best way to sharpen is on a leather slab with varying grits of wet/dry sandpaper.

    That's quite a collection.
    However, there is another kid on the block that is causing quite a few waves over here in Europe.
    I'm talking about the Victorinox Venture Pro! Here is a new knife that introduces quite a few innovative features that look worth a good look.
    Victorinox has a particular view on knives that is unusual - for example they have tended to stick to the same basic steel, while not the greatest in the view of purists, has stood them in good stead for many decades. The steel for the Venture Pro is Sandvik 14C 28N, and is full flat grind (not Scandi). The sheath design is quite extraordinary, and some minor initial issues have emerged, as have numerous hacks to circumvent the effects quite easily.
    I was wondering if you intend doing a deep dive on this knife system some time?

    Lost interest when I realised you were going to trot out the usual American made stuff. Believe it or not there are Great knives made outside of the USA you just have to put a bit of effort into researching and buying them!
    P.s. I have a B.R. Aurora and a Battlehorse Highlander, and Im not impressed by either. Although my Adventure Sworn is good.
