I am sitting here with a Lenox tradesman, and it is not hollow ground. It is a high saber ground. Interesting test. An eBay seller had a used set of Milwaukee and Lennox knives with no sheaths, and I have had them a few days now. I did a lot of camping and hiking back in the 1960's and did all of that like 95 percent with a boy scout type pocketknife. An official one and when I lost that and continued on cheaper ones from Imperial and so on. I am 71 years-old now and I have never battoned a knife in my whole life and never saw anyone do that in real life. And I was always able to come up with wood for fires. Nor did I bring a hatchet with me. With the way I use knives during camping a Lenox knife is going to outlive me. It is nice test the Milwaukee one is more durable as I also have one of those, but I won't be buttoning that either. For those who don't know find a youtube vid on making a wooden wedge and watch how it/they can be used to split wood and save your knife.
Battening is a relatively new thing. It’s not totally necessary. But sometimes it may be. When I go camping I like to baton my kindling. And it’s nice to know I can
Still when camping with the boy scouts what part of the troop that came mostly used pocketknives. We simply gathered wood small enough to do our cooking on and got the job done. When my family went what I call car caping my parents brought a hatch with them. No hiking so no weight penalty to deal with. I still have the 2 hatches from when I was a kid but have kind of moved on to machetes. @@peterbiltknifeguy
Interesting how those 2 knives that look very similar and could be easily mistaken for being made in the same factory, performed so differently. 🤔Thanks for this demonstration and Cheers!
I picked 3 of them up for a dollar each they are shit but hey for that price I’m not gonna be crying over it I’ll have to pick up the Milwaukee as I work construction and constantly need to cut or open something……great vid btw
I might buy a Milwaukee, I won't be buying a Lennox. I'll check to see if you get your commision if I do buy a Milwaukee cause it will totally be cause of your video !😆 BTW, red is one of my favorite colors !
Mora got a big time American "ambassador" aka advertiser and YT cheerleader whos name I won't mention and the price started climbing, its that simple. That being said, pro robust or garberg is a better choice for extreme whackin. the forces involved in batoning into hardwood puts ungodly stress on a knife that is already being held in what amounts to a crafted vise once you get it so far in there. Its physics.
No sir, although the pro Robust is a hell of a sight closer😂 Mora also makes a knife for the company that makes the VERY popular folding pruning saw used by bushcrafters too, not Silky, the other one. When you buy that knife in combo with the saw they are cheaper 😂 but see I KNEW I might hammer on a Mora so I bought a thick boy right off. The Milwaukee is a knife you would buy to use if you were stuck in a motel room in one of those "No Country for Old Men" situations, don't care what happens if I use the hell out of it, probably gonna just toss it, easier to replace. Its the "I don't give a shit" knife. The Lennox is apparently a poop knife😂
I think part of the issue is what was the Lenox knife designed to do. I doubt if it was what was done in the test. After seeing the test, I still would not hesitate to take a Lenox knife hiking or camping. I have seen more than one UA-cam vid on making wooden wedges to split wood. They work. It just takes time to make the wedges.@@peterbiltknifeguy
Nice video. I didn't find any hrc numbers on this knife but it really appears to be far too soft. A v-edge shouldn't have that many rolls. This probably might be significantly below the 55 hrc mark. .
Oh that poor knife was just meant to cut paper, cardboard & slice plastic wrappers. Here you go beating it up ! LOL ! 😆😂🤣😅 Hope it didn't cost more than $7.95 !!
@@peterbiltknifeguy I meant it as a joke you know , Milwaukee paid to have better materials on one end of the plant and Lennox just said "whatever" on the other ...
Hollow-grinds SUCK. Where are we? At junior High?? If you had any knowledge of knife grinds and what they're intended for you wouldn't be writing such adolescent ignorant comment.
Stop riding PBKGs ass over MORA. We all love em. Quit riding everybody about "recycled steel" . ALL steel is recycled, its one of the most recycled products on the planet. Keep in mind unless its LC200N, Vanax , or Magnacut it all rusts/corrodes, corrosion leads to weakness, leading to breakage with hard use. Knives corrode in places you can't see. Factories are making more and more sheathes and handles out of cheaper polymers, that will wear out faster, break and be embrittled and degraded by chemicals, friction, hard use, UV light, stress, you name it
Ok, ya garbage knife but let's just park here for a bit, who else besides this guy will beat the shit out of their knife like this? Still nit gonna get it. Tbh cinda disappointed.

It was definitely unexpected. Shocked me
Very good review much appreciated
they heat treated the Lenox in a easy bake oven...... great vid Ty brother.
You bet
If you are a veteran and get the VA veteran card and register with the hardware stores you get a 10% veteran discount.

That Milwaukee is strong 💪
So much stronger than the Lenox
The price too high about $24

Oh yeah. Definitely better moras for harder use. But they are definitely not 15 dollars lol

I’ve got a set of Lennox pvc cutters.
They are about the same quality as that knife 🤷🏻♂️
I have done something similar, "those knives look just alike online ! They might be made the same !" They weren't ! Live & learn.
Definitely not the same lol
what kind of knife grind do you prefer
Either full flat grind or flat saber grind
That’s just crazy man. That’s a Big L for Lenox!
100% L
Oh that poor knife was just meant to cut paper, cardboard & slice plastic wrappers. Here you go beating it up !
LOL ! 😆😂🤣😅
Hope it didn't cost more than $7.95 !!
It owed me money lol
@@peterbiltknifeguy yeah, 90% of what you paid for it !
Get some duct knifes for review.
Same factory but just different machine lines so to speak
I don’t believe that. I thought so. But it didn’t handle anything the Milwaukee did

Bataning with a 10 $ knife/ Buy a 12$ harbor freight axe aeh...?
Aeh? It’s called a test ach!
