    Sorry about that I hit the wrong key. But as I was saying I'm waiting for (0167B) I am 66 years old and have carried a knife since I was 8 years old. I am going to use it as an everyday carry to get as proficient in its unique properties as possible. I believe you can teach an old dog new tricks. Thanks for your recommendation and im looking to more of your very informative videos.

    I have no doubt that this knife is top notch quality - William makes only the finest, but I must say that for me the "look" of this knife is just down right unappealing. Maybe it's just because it is like nothing I have ever seen before - to each his own. Thanks for the review.

      i will be the first to admit..when i first saw the masterwoodsman..and the WCSK..my mind went..thats not a knife....but when you start using it..all those funny points and curves seem to be a natural thing..you stop looking at the knife and it just seems to cut the way you want..its one of those things ya gotta hold it and use it to truly see..thanks for the comment safe journeys

    Hi Blackie... I have not commented for a while but I thought I would jump in here. I have seen a lot of videos regarding this knife and I do not doubut that William has made a quality product. This knife is cerntainly in leagure with his woodsman knives. And it does so much towards being a one tool option. HOWEVER, I would hesitate to call it a "Survival" knife. The problem I see is the learning curve. To really use this knife you have to practice with it. Although I have never had one in my hands - can't afford William's knives - I am sure it would take me a while to get used to it and learn all of it tricks. I am 66yo and I have been using a knive (Barlow) since I was about four. You see - the thing is that a survival needs to be a knife that someone with basic knife skills can take out of their emergency bag and use to survive. When your plane has gone down, you boat has sunk or your car broken down in the middle of nowhere you do not have time to learn all the fanchy stuff this knife can do. As for a combat survival knife - well, lets just say this is not a fighting knife, nor does a wounded soldier have time to learn to use it. A better choice for a "Survival" knife might be a K-BAR or SRK type knife. Just saying.......... So althought I believe William to be a good craftsman I think he has made a major mistake marketing this knife as a "Surival" knife. Yes, it does a lot but its features are of little use for someone in a do or die situation - unless they have spent a lot of time training with this knife.
    Like I said this is just the opinion of an old man who grew up in the woods and taught survival to Search and Rescue people.

    I am not sure of how valid a demonstration is made by cutting something so soft, but regardless, I would actually like to see a comparison vs a decent knife with a more traditional blade shape. What kind of advantages are we talking about and why don't we hear people complaining about a lack of ability (in these regards) in the traditional designs.

    • @BLACKIETHOMAS
      @BLACKIETHOMAS  6 років тому +1

      the cutting something soft was to show what the points and edges are for... i could have used hard oak but the video would have been 25 min long..it was to bring the viewer up to speed on a rather strange design for a knife..now i shift my focus to how the knife performs ..with out having to stop and explain every cut and why i chose to use that part of the blade..it was a time saving thing for me..

    • @CliffStamp
      @CliffStamp 6 років тому +2

      Thanks for the reply, I understand the reasoning but I am a bit concerned about the illustration because of how easy a cucumber can cut. For example you could easily gouge out out a bowl in that with just a ordinary spoon so while the knife may have certain abilities, the fact it can do them in cucumber doesn't mean it could do them in wood.
      However if you were not demonstrating that it can do something, but taking it for granted it can, and just illustrating them I can see the point. I just feel that given the less than ordinary design skepticism is probably a wise choice in any viewer.
      As an aside, somewhat jealous of hard woods, where I live I mainly have pine and juniper. There is some spruce but we have a real lack of actual hardwood to work with. Cutting white pine does however do wonders for making anyone feel like a lumberjack.
      Do you have the full kitted sheath from stitched gear?

    Mr. Collins makes an amazing knife. And the fact that you recommend it is proof it is an amazing knife. But the cost, (well deserved)and I'm informed a production knife with less than a 4 month wait, it's not for me. If I can explain. I love my Mora. For fine work, cooking, all around stuff, for me it's my Mora. I have a 20 year attachment to it. So much so when I found out how much I liked it I bought 2 more so I would never have to hunt one up if I had misfortune with my Mora. I also have a larger knife for larger camp projects. And playing with getting a Kukri. I'm an old dog that is set in some ways. I've seen Mr. Collins's knives and they are all high quality and so very well thought out. Anyone who purchases one will be pleased. Thanks.

    I read a few comments about the use of the cucumber instead of wood and I know you did that for time constraints but some your cuts were so thin and one of the big hits I always hear on these thicker "survival" knives is that they can't perform simple food prep. You proved that isn't a problem with the WCSK.
    We've all seen the hard use videos for this knife.

    • @BLACKIETHOMAS
      @BLACKIETHOMAS  5 років тому +1

      that was one of the points we drove home when we were working on the design..each letter of the name stands for a desired function..( woodsman../combat../survival../kitchen..)..the wcsk performs well in all of these..and the most over looked is kitchen..i have in my long woods time had many fad knives esp those survival knives of the 1980's..and they may have been tough..but everyone i had was totally un-use-able in the skinner...food prep dept....thanks for posting..safe journeys

  • @jamesaritchie1
    @jamesaritchie1 6 років тому +1

    The whole concept of a "survival" knife is pretty silly. Every knife I've seen that had the word "survival" attached to it has been a chunky piece of steel that does nothing as well as ordinary knives. They're all poorly made hatchet. They chop better than a regular knife, but not a tenth as well as the tomahawk, hatchet, or other axe blade you DO have with you, when you go into a place where survival might be a problem. Or machete, if you live in the right sort of country. If you go into such a place without the right tools, you don't know enough to survive, anyway.
    Such "knives" are also a carry problem. Do you replace your regular knife with such a. . .thing, or do you keep your regular knife, and store a big hunk of steel like this in your pack? I'm not doing either one with any "survival" knife.
    I have no idea when a survival situation is going to arise, but I do know beyond doubt that the regular tools I carry are a hundred times better for survival than any so-called "survival" knife ever made. Every woodsman has known this for hundreds or years. Probably for thousands of years.
    Most of the world uses a Swiss Army Knife a sa survival knife, and as a wilderness knife. Even many militaries do the same. Unless self-defense is part of survival, the Swiss Army Knife, or a Hunter, Trapper, or Stockman, for that matter, are all you need to survive, and then some.
    It really comes down to chopping. How big would this knife be if chopping with it wasn't a major part of the tasks you expect it to do? Th ething is, even if you don't carry other tools, which is silly beyond belief, you still do not have to chop with your knife. You did nothing in this video that couldn't be done easy with no chopping.
    But if you do want to chop with a knife, then you're better off with a long, straight blade. This is why a machete works so well.
    I see nothing at all that you can do with that knife that a regular straight edge knife can't do better and easier. Much better and much easier. I've never seen all those edges on the same knife, but none of them are new, and none of them and workable except the one at the very back which is on every straight edge knife.
    As for choking down all the way and using the point like that, no, it's not going to happen, ever. That's for people who are so stubborn about proving a big knife can do anything a small knife can do (Even if it can, it doesn't most of them BADKLY, and with great effort) that they won't reach inside a pocket and take out a knife with a pen blade or a sheepsfoot, both of which do many things infinitely better than any large knife.
    Survival tools ate easy. You do as woodsmen have done for centuries. You carry a regular belt knife, you carry a pocketknife with more than one blade, you carry an exe blade of some kind, and you carry a saw. If you don't expect to use your belt knife for self-defense, you carry one that has a blade no more than five inches long. Any longer is a handicap, and is just showing off.
    You do as woodsmen still do the world over, UA-cam excluded.
    I think the entire "survival" knife phenomena can be laid at the doorstep of ex-soldiers who never stopped to wonder why the Ka-Bar is not called a survival knife. It's called a fighting and utility knife. If you have to fight with your knife, you draw your Ka-Bar. If you have to pry the door off an old farmhouse, you draw your Ka-Bar. If you need to build a complicated shelter, you draw your Ka-Bar.
    Unless you're one of the thjousands of soldiers in war arenas who take along a tomahawk.
    But if you need to do just about any other knife task, including most things we think of as survival tasks, you reach in your pocket and pull out the small knife the military gave you, or that you had sense enough to bring with you on your own. For most of the world's militaries, this is the Swiss Army Knife, or a clone thereof. The Swiss Army Knife is also the future of the U.S. military. And it's a better true survival knife that any dozen of the big, thick, chunky so-called "survival" knives out there.
    Woodsmen have always known this.
    When I was eighteen, almost nineteen, I spent a month (monitored) in the wilderness with just a Ka-Bar. Then, later, I spent another month with the same tools and gear an average hiker was likely to carry. That was a lot easier, partially because of the extra gear, but also because the pocketknife was handier than the Ka-Bar.
    Then, just because I loved it, I spent almost a year in the wilderness by myself. Again, I had a Ka-Bar, but also the other tools any sane person carries, such as saw, axe (tomahawk) and a couple of pocketknives. I only used the Ka-Bar three times all years, each time for skinning a deer.
    If I had it to do over, I'd skin the deer with my pocketknife.
    Despite my views on knives, William Collins made a believer out of me with his last knife, but not with this one. No such knife is needed, let alone one with all these different edges. A knife that tries to do too much is always a failure, and nothing on this blade is new. Every edge on it is just wrong, except the straight edge at the back. It's a big, chunky piece of steel that just doesn't have a place in real worlkd survival.

      JAMES it all boils down to the man...like in the movie conan when he asks the riddle of steel...and the reply is"steel isn't strong...what is the blade compared to the hand that wields it.?..i am sure you could hand Mors Kochansky a $1 dollar dime store kitchen knife and he would survive with it...as to the term""survival knife""... i fully agree its a catch phrase thats been run to death with every bit of junk they could tag with it to make a buck..same goes for the one tool idea..
      this knife is a new design..each of those strange looking points ...like the masterwoodsman..in the hands of a skilled knife user..really perform well..to be honest i felt the same way when william gave me the prototype to test..but it does the job very well..yes my kukei is a better chopper..so is a axe..and my mora is better for fine carving..but if you can only carry one knife in a bug out bag..or in your car get home bag..the wcsk would be a good choice..i fully agree its not for everyone..and that's kinda the point...thanks for aswell thought out comment..safe journeys

    I think the knife has some interesting features, and Im sure it can get the job done, but honestly so can MOST knives. I think most of the time we just get caught up in our own desires for something new and exciting. Is this a new “wheel”? I doubt it.
