Third guy: "mine does every utility function both of yours does. Except defense of others and self defense" Seriously though, if you're going to claim to be a knife expert - try to be one.

@@jonslg240 I'm going to be honest with you I don't think anyone's claiming that a Messer it should be considered a knife(although you can make a pretty good argument about it especially since a machete is considered a knife). The reason it's funny is because they were made by the knife making guild and the name translates to knife. Also a knife expert isn't going to be dealing with messers that's more of a medieval arms expert's territory. Not to mention he says Hema which it means "historical European martial art" so he's not even claiming to be an expert on anything.
@@jonslg240 wether or not messers are knives can be debated all day, but iirc they came about because medieval laws kept civilians from owning swords, and the construction was considered knifey enough at the time. now that we are further along, we now realize 3 dots in the handle does not make it a knife
@Ban this youtube Which is half of $800 You could also get a Benchmade OTF for around $300. Meanwhile, other OTFs can go for over $1,000. Like, I said, Benchmade knives aren't usually that expensive.

Probably not a very cool fact, but there is literally no way to practice bushcraft in my country, all camping is illegal unless you get a permit at one of the 2 places to camp. As all land in the country is owned by the government. We do have jungles you could hike in but it's still illegal. We used to have a handful of islands people could stay overnight and camp but some group of idiots accidentally set fire to half the the island and now camping is mostly banned on the islands.

some of its length isn't bladed but many are bladed on both sides, all the way along the length of the dagger. Some have this "syringe-end" style of lens-shaped taper and only a sharpened tip. once you've poked and wrestled underneath someone's armor plate with your rondel dagger, you still need to cut and push through any further padded protection they are wearing underneath (which was sometimes quite a bit!) and then cut into them. Perhaps only sharpening the very needle tip was necessary for this, but nonetheless it looks like many were also edged on both sides. These C-shaped blades are really fancy; giving your rondel dagger more leverage into the chink in another's armour. Thanks for reading my autism
As a person who owns every one of these knives, a really sharp pocket knife is the best one to have out there, along with a Swiss Army knife in your other pocket.
The classic swiss army knife has it's occasional uses.. The file comes in handy and as a machinist it's nice to have the tweezers when i get a burr in my finger..
For light duty 'just in case' stuff, any multitool will probably be fine. I used to carry a mini victorinox knife on my keys that had a small blade, nail file and scissors as well as the standard tweezers and toothpick in the scales. Not hideously expensive, similar formats will exist in other brands too , but worth a look see :)

You didn't mention the entusiest. The Entusiest: A type of knife owner who has a massive collection of unusual and often very expensive knives that they literally never use...
The Swiss army knife is realistically all you will need in a survival situation. However, when I go on multiple day hikes I carry a survival knife with a kit in the hilt. The kit is a zip-lock back with matches, a strike strip, fishing line, a couple of fishing hooks, and some lead weights for fishing. The way you get to the kit is by unscrewing the ball compass at the base of the hilt, the sheath also has a compartment for a miniature whetstone. The blade is 12 inches and the blunt side has a serated part that's pretty good for sawing small branches. I also carry a Swiss army hatchet and a machete.
