I have seen an RTAKII bend because of a huge knot in a piece of some dry Australian wood, and you know that stuff can be quite gnarly, and it just went through it like nothing and went back it's original shape. If he used a Junglas, it would stay bent or chip for sure but the RTAKII just took it and came out on top. I feel that this is the advantage of using 5160 over 1095 on a large knife. I love my RTAKII which I carry with my Esee 6. It's the perfect combo for me.
Hi 👋 It’s nice to see a blade that shows use! Too many vids show knives that they say are their favourite knife yet not a mark on them. Great channel!😎
Alaskan frontier channel says he prefers it to junglas as well. Out performs. I got mine two years ago. I beat the xhit out of it and no chips or snything. It must be the 5160 as stated. I say thet because with amazon you never know. It makes a disinct sound when you tap it hard with your fingers or ferro rod . Makes a slight diiing. Only knife i gave in 5160 spring steel and the only one with that sound. For those if you who wonder which one you have
Great size & length, will try a field test to see its potential. What its like as far as edge retention & maintenance etc? It looks good thoguh. Cheers mate.
