@@alfredhughes578 ,… Yes it cuts wood like nobody’s business. It’s a thick full tang knife so it can be used to pry with, smash glass, cut through some metals. It holds an edge really well and strops back to paper cutting sharp with ease, when needed. That’s what really sets it apart. It has an Excellent leather sheath. Wenge wood handle scales. It’s a field/hunting style design but with the hand guard can also perform as a smaller fighting knife. Made in New Zealand. I’ve heard they are cold sharpened on whetstone wheels by hand. You could get Cold Steel, ESEE, TOPS, etc., etc., they are all good options. I just presented this beautiful beast of a knife as another option to consider.
The 1095 blade is too fragile, Joe X broke this one quite easily. Here you need a stat of 1055-1070, hardening with a tempering of 53-56 hardness units.
@@mrpropper6590 , Hello. Thanx for watching and commenting. 👍🏻. When I purchased this knife years ago I contacted Svord directly and questioned them about their steel because they were kinda vague on which steel was used and the heat treatment. They contacted me back and informed me that their high end “Custom” knives: the Von Tempsky Bowie, the Von Tempsky Ranger, the Ned Kelly Toothpick, & the Hog Beater were all crafted from Swedish L6 steel. If you go to their website now it has the Von Tempsky Bowie listed as: 8670 steel and the Von Tempsky Ranger listed as: EN45 spring steel. All I know is my Von Tempsky Bowie & this knife,… the Von Tempsky Ranger are super tough, awesome knives that hold an edge good, strope back to a razor edge with ease and look great doing it. Svord Knives basically use Sword quality spring steel to make their “custom” series line of knives. That’s perhaps why they took the name SVORD,… because they use sword steel in their better blades. I think their steel and heat treatment is a closely guarded secret and they put out a lot of misinformation to people because Ive heard so many people say such different specs on the same knives,… even stating different thicknesses of steel too. Maybe Svord just uses whatever sword steel is affordable and attainable at the time but they do a great job with the heat treatment and sharpening of the final product. All this being said,… mine is like 9-10 years old at least and I have Never heard of these knives being made from 1095 steel. (ESEE, KABAR & TOPS Knives are 1095, almost everyone agrees that they are good quality). - Advanced Knife Bro, on UA-cam beats the crap out of this blade and it holds up perfectly. Check it out. 👍🏻🔪
Perfect woods knife congrats joe

That knife is great it cuts wood like all of the other knife videos. Knives cut wood. I can survive by cuttting wood.
