Hi Rob, long time quiet from this side. Been busy with stuff. I know you're a purist and a master at your craft. Watching you baton down that log, I couldn't help thinking whether it would not be simpler to just use a couple of wedges cut from that hazel, and it would be kinder to the knife? But I guess you were testing the knife so just an idle thought. Still using my Trail Master, and each time just love using the sheath! Seeing the one in this video and your comment gave me a good laugh! Go well Rob, and regards to the Missus!
Dear Rob, please consider that there are more ways to make feathers, a very good one beeing holding the knife fixed against your knee/shin... it s not fair-play to try just one way and claim it s not good for that. All the best!!!
Are you a new viewer? Only asking because I've done that many times and stuck in a log. The knife digs in that's it in a nutshell. Trust me, if the convex was on the other side it would be fine , there's a short follow up video coming later today.
Seems like it must be as several people have mentioned it, why would they use a kitchen knife grind on a utility knife which they brand as a bushcraft knife.
One side convex, second side of the flat grind is typical for Yakut knives. In case of Yakut knife right hand knife has convex on left side and flat on the right side. Looking from observer point of view, holding the knife in hand, tip pointing in forward direction
Not a manufacturer I’m familiar with, I had to Google them. When you were describing the grind I thought that might be a left handed knife, then sure enough you mentioned it yourself. I was surprised they do actually do a left hand version, but then why would it have a right hand sheath? Could be a mistake on their part, maybe they supplied the wrong knife.
Without wishing to put you on the spot Rob, how would you say this knife compares against the Nomad NKW Meister? Apples and oranges with the grind geometry; but what’s your overall feeling if pushed on one knife or the other?
Excellent review, interesting concept, perhaps asymmetric grinds are more suited to more specialist applications. Definitely not a patch on your own knife designs. Your attention to detail is second to none.
@@RobEvansWoodsmanThanks Rob. Sorry maybe I just missed it. It's a good thickness for this part of the world. Would be great with a full convex or mid sabre 😊.
@@RobEvansWoodsmanI've just been looking at their website a d see there are left and right hand models, but they aren't very clear which side is which grind 🤔.
Nice well-rounded and objective review, mate. 👍These are the types of reviews that are worthwhile.
@blackhawkbushcraft: Fancy seeing you here lol
@@MountainAdventureChannel hey, buddy! 😄 Yeah, I’m a regular annoyance on Rob’s channel. 😂

Round wasn't that big, knife easily coped with it, I used wedges on the last knife review because it was a 2.5mm blade

@@RobEvansWoodsman I m glad my comment was helpfull and you created a follow up :)))
Isnt that the grind for the Yakutian knives? The convex on one end and a flat on the other?
Isn't the Yakutian knife hollowed out, like a rounded fuller, on the 'flat' side? Or am I remembering another knife style?
Is that the Russian grind?
Seems like it must be as several people have mentioned it, why would they use a kitchen knife grind on a utility knife which they brand as a bushcraft knife.
I believe the other setting is for handling the saw for under cutting
Thanks for the information, I never knew that.
Works decent, it’s how I use that setting on my gomboy👍

That confused me mate🤣
Can I just say, I've always liked the intro music for your vids. What's it from?
It's just free music on my editing app
Did you consider attempting to use the knife in your left hand to test the grind ?
It's in the follow up video

They sent two knives but both are identical, one came in a rather sexy box
This one didn't.
Watching this right now….
Thank you for the knife review i love watching your videos. Greetings from Austria - Vienna.
Another great video. Thank you sir!
What a strange knife! 🤔 good review Rob
Without wishing to put you on the spot Rob, how would you say this knife compares against the Nomad NKW Meister? Apples and oranges with the grind geometry; but what’s your overall feeling if pushed on one knife or the other?
Nomad 100% but I still think that handle is too slim for me.
Excellent review, interesting concept, perhaps asymmetric grinds are more suited to more specialist applications. Definitely not a patch on your own knife designs. Your attention to detail is second to none.
Great review
Great review of a not so great knife. It needs a bit too much work for my liking. Thanks for sharing!
It needs a total rethink.
👍Nice Rob. Knife looks like it could be a good camp companion, but for that strange grind. 🤔
What is the blade thickness?
Sorry but I thought I'd mentioned it.
6mm thick.
@@RobEvansWoodsmanThanks Rob. Sorry maybe I just missed it. It's a good thickness for this part of the world. Would be great with a full convex or mid sabre 😊.
@@RobEvansWoodsmanI've just been looking at their website a d see there are left and right hand models, but they aren't very clear which side is which grind 🤔.
@@grahamwinter5536 Looks like the left handed version has LH marked on the blade after the model number.
I'll check the knives later, they sent me two identical knives both with right hand sheaths, they did tell me that there were rh and lh models.
Not my cup of tea with the different grinds and some odd design choices but fair play to them for sending it out for review and feedback
Interesting to see what you'd think of it if you used it as your primary knife for a couple of weeks.🤔
I think it would be an excellent cooking knife but that handle and sheath are pretty bad.
@@RobEvansWoodsman yer the sheath looked ridiculous, even if the 100 straps worked it would be a pain in the arse getting it out.
Not for me. I prefer symmetrical grinds. Nice review.
Great knife
But lousy support from the supplier
I have emailed them 3 times about sharpening instructions since the blade is unusual
NO reply
I was told that the flat side is meant to be flat for planing wood, not a fan of it myself, can you tell 🤣?
hi， do u accept the cooperation?
Sorry but I don't understand the question.
@@RobEvansWoodsman brand cooperation, such as product review. I didn't see your contact info
@@AdasUnck I really don't like doing it but I'll consider something that I think would work for me, contact information
