    I have the Rangergrip 78, it is the one with out the cork screw ( yours in a 79) the spine on the saw is one of the best ferro rod strikers ever made, and the longer saw ( longest on any folding pocket knife/multi tool I have ever seen) make crafting in camp quicker, and easier.

      I have the 79, it's great and the saw is longer than Leatherman saws, same for the blade. Perfect for bushcraft.
      My large and medium fixed blades are the Condor Heavy Duty kukri and Terava Jakaaripuuko 140.
      The kukri is more versatile than any straight bladed knife I think as well, it really should be investigated by anyone who doesn't own one, The draw knife capability alone with the top half of the spine being rounded and comfortable to hold is enough reason on its own, before we talk about the hatchet like chopping.
      I don't have one yet but for a large straight blade my choice would be the Tops Tahoma.
      (But only because I can't get my hands on a Dark Timber Honey Badger!)

      @@OtherThanIntendedPurpose I like the Tops BoB and only seen good reviews. I wouldn't buy it now because it's about 3 times more expensive than my Terava. I bought that after seeing it on Dutch Bushcraft Knives channel. Between Nomad and Apache I'd go for the Apache because I like having the finger choil, like on the Tahoma. Nomad looks quite similar to the Esse 6. Did you have the KaBar USMC in the Army?
      And I do like the BK9, lots of comparison videos with the Tahoma and they're quite equal. I prefer the angled handle and finger choil and the few other things it has as a sort of multi purpose blade. Single edge as well I prefer without the sharpened top part.
      DBK is one of the best channels for knife reviews, recommend if you haven't seen them.

      @@marko9912 we were issued the M-9 bayonet and the Pilot's survival knife. neither was something that I wanted to carry. I did have my father's Ka Bar ( he was a Marine in Viet Nam) but it's sheath was not "jump" ready, so I didn't take it on deployments. The Nomad is a very capable bushcraft knife, the reason I would have preferred the Apache Dawn when I was in, is the combat/assault aspects of it's design. it would actually be a little less effective as a bushcraft knife, but not so much so that it would cause an issue. they both have a lot of heft, and some serious hack and slash ability. something sourly missing on either of the issued blades I carried.

    I've been a fan of Victorinox and Mora knives for years. 25 years in commercial kitchens,and Victorinox were the bulk of my kit. Had some off-brand SAKs as a kid,got my first real one in my 20's. I currently have two Campers,and two Moras(one older carbon,wooden handle, one newer in stainless).
    I also have to mention Grohmann Knives, their D.H. Russell models are superb. And,they're made in Canada in Pictou,in my home province of Nova Scotia. Equals Victorinox and Henkels, and if you're in Nova Scotia, you can take the factory tour...

    I just got the Swiss Tech Haltbar. The value of that thing is just crazy. I had to buy once I saw your video. I had been wanting to buy a new bushcrafting knife for a while and I kept thinking which one I wanted, but there’s so many products that I wanted to try, but I never pulled the trigger on several of the ones that I was thinking about getting because they were all pretty much over $100 or even 200 but when I saw how good that thing looked for 50 bucks I figured I would buy it and if it was not what I was hoping it would be I would just return it but wow, that thing is amazing.

    I’m not into bushcrafting - but I enjoy family camping and I LOVE knives. I strongly agree with your first two picks but I was surprised by #3. I use an axe to split our firewood & kindling so I Don’t know much about ESEE. I’d say that most family campers would include an Opinel in their top 3 because it is great for slicing many foods. It is probably the #1 favorite camp kitchen knife.

  • @drouleau
    @drouleau Місяць тому +1

    First knife video I've watched where I actually agree with all the choices. I have several SAK's as I like options, but my favorites are the RangerGrip (I have the 78 but want the 79) and Handyman - RangerGrip goes into my pack for hiking. I recently picked up an ALOX Pioneer X and Farmer X....Pioneer is great to carry in the pocket for day to day use (gives most of the tools you'll want and not bulky in the pocket), and the Farmer X I will take hiking when not going too far off the beaten path and want something smaller than the RangerGrip. I have a Mora Kansbol which is great for hiking due to being super light, and excels at carving/cutting/scraping tasks. Debating getting a Victorinox Venture, but for now the Kansbol works great. For heavier duty tasks, I greatly prefer my ESEE Gibson axe as it's far more useful than just a bigger knife like an ESEE 6 (which I also have but never use) but still easy to carry in a pack and not heavy, relatively speaking. Ironically, my worst knife for "bushcrafting" is my Benchmade Bushcrafter - super comfortable handle, abysmal blade geometry. The ESEE Sencillo is actually a great little carver, but I'm a little leery of how thin the blade is behind the edge. I have an ESEE 4HM (along with an ESEE 3 S35VN, Izula 2, JG5, Sencillo, Xancudo) that I love and is one of my favorites - it actually cuts/carves quite well for a thicker blade and is a great size with a comfortable handle. I also like a good folding saw when I need something larger than what the RangerGrip has, so I have a couple of Silkys. Unless you're felling trees to build a log cabin, don't really need much more than a good SAK, the Kansbol, the Gibson axe and a good folding saw.

    If you are talking of beginners the first folder i really took to as a kid was an Opinel. You don't have the strength or dexterity in your hands then and they are super easy to open. The locking collar is also easy to use and effective. The steel is good enough quality so you can learn to sharpen with them, best of all for kids they are inexpensive and there are version's with no point on if required. Im a little jealous of your Sasquatch SAK! Nice!

    I never leave home without my Victorinox (Spartan in town and Huntsman or Outrider in the wilderness).
    With these knives my choice on a 3rd tool would be my Bacho Laplander saw or either my hatchet by Wolf Valley Forge Axes or Kalthoff Axe. But, I have been recently playing around recently with a Parang by My Parang from Malaysia.
    But we agree Mora and Victorinox are knife brands everyone should consider.

    Basic kephart knife (under $100)
    Laplander or Silly (under $50)
    Fiskars 14" hatchet ($25)
    For about $150 or less, you have the entire arsenal. Add a small shovel and you're done (cold steel spetzna or your handmade one from a garden shovel.)

    Thank you. I was expecting the usual shilling of pricey, "kewl" knives. Nice to see someone recognizing real working knives. Love the Moras and I should have bought of case of the basics when they were still around $12 or less. Real knives made by people who, as you said, have actually been using their knives for daily work for a very long time. Victorinox. I have carried Victorinox since the late 80s including Army service. Right now, it's a Trekker with a serrated blade and a SAK Manager as EDC plus a pretty inexpensive D2 flipper for slicing that works quite well. I also have a couple of ESEE that I would feel well equipped with. I have everything from Rough Ryder to Randalls with Benchmade and others in the middle. Nothing wrong with that lineup at all. Someone else mentioned the Skrama 240 in the comments. Just another thumbs up for that amazing bush tool. Not pretty to look at, but amazing to use.
    A SAK toothpick story. At one time I was working in Security at a Citibank Financial Center. The CEO was arriving for a conference there and I was the guy at the door checking people in. We were wearing blazers and I heard on the radio that his vehicle was coming onto the property just as my top blaser button fell off. After a "Crap" moment I pulled to toothpick from the little Classic I was carrying and used the blade to slice the toothpick thin enough to shove it through the eyelet of the fancy button where it was normally sewn to the blazer. I popped the back of the button through the buttonhole and slid that toothpick into the eyelet, pinning it to the buttonhole so it looked like all was well. Just as the CEO's shuttle came around the corner. Victorinox for the win.

    I 😅dont pick knives by brand if it holds a good edge ill use it . These by chance happen to be hot in the market so many better knives that cost less .

      It’s personal preference. But these are noteworthy brands that I am highlighting for folks to check out. Not many are better than these in performance/cost ratio. Allot of bang for the buck with fantastic warranty

    every time a bougie and overhyped influencer tells me about some 400 dollar knife and how it's the best bushcraft knife, I smile and pull out one of my moras. There is no better value, and they do everything a knife needs to do.

    The wood youre batoning is 3 times to long for true application. Only backyard bushdummies baton wood that long.😂

      @@BrianSmith-ql5nj If one does much woodcutting for firewood etc, batoning longer wood, you save time and energy, calories than you will cutting shorter wood. While also leaving wood longer, when placed on a fire and burning into 2 pieces, you can move them up on the fire to finish burning them. Saves a lot of time.
