Second PFK now called Mountaineer. I got the sheath along with Micarta green scales and dirty by design blade… Now this package comes in at SMKWS $195. A steal… considering it’s solid along with the sheath which I believe is a great sheath… design and finish. Dave’s team is now imprinting PFK on the blade old school not laser in graved. I’ve purchased MANY fixed blades over last 40 years…and personally agree… this is a fine blade and USA MADE… I hope PFK continues to do well and hope to see them expand into other camp/hiking type venues. Thanks for the excellent review. Forgot to mention… if your considering one of PFKs knives to give as a gift… they have one hell of a box and include a lifetime warranty card. He still wraps em up tight with plastic and oil… again old school…perfect!
Nice Knife. Here's a thought for the viewers, make your own sheath. It is way easier than one would think. A few simple hand tools and a piece of leather is all it takes. Very inexpensive hobby and you get a one of a kind sheath. Trust me on this, if I can do it, anyone can :).
elk hunter - I have a few Pathfinder knives, and the Kydex sheaths are really nice because they hold the 6” Ferro Rod, and they’re extremely well made. The knives really lock in and have super solid retention. You’re not going to lose your knife. Plus I love the options of having a leather, or Kydex belt loop depending on your preference. So considering they’re one of a kind for your knife. So they are more than worth the price.
Not doubting the utility of Kydex. Just offering a fun and easy option for those who want to try. 35 years ago the impetus was that I got tired of my Western camp knife constantly flopping around by it's belt loop. Seemed it was always in my way. Just bought some leather and a few tools and made a sheath that has about a 35 degree cant and rides high. Worn at the 11:00 o'clock position that puts the handle right at my belly button ready for use. BTW. With my hand stitching and use of brass rivets it looks very cool. Would fit right into any old western movie. Just my thing.
I have the mountain lion too, due to wanting a jacklore type knife after leaving the UK, but settled for this instead. So far I really like it, it just performs and performs well, due to good feel, balance, and perfect size... Well done to the folks at PKS, it's a winner! Enjoy!
My pks scorpion was stolen. Good thing I have back ups and a way to chop off fingers. Thief also stole and ole' shotgun, tools and knives. Wish I could catch 'em. I'll buy more pks's cause there good. Thanks for the video it reminded me of a 14 year old boy in woods. Took me back. Thanks again.
The slow motion of the fero rod sparking looked like the 4th of July! Coming from Dave Canterbury I know it will excel at bushcraft chores and be a quality product. Thanks for showing it Bryan.
The only knife I carry is a wide Swiss Army knife with multiple tools. For the last 30 years my everyday carry in the wilderness is an old Meat Cleaver I bought at a garage sale for a buck. Carry a small whet stone in my pack to keep it sharp, but I've chopped wood & skinned a deer on the same day. Drilled three holes through the handle & tang which allows to lash on a sturdy branch as an axe handle for chopping wood. Eliminates the need for an axe & expensive knife.
Brian, after your review of this knife,I bought it directly through PSK. When I received it,it felt good on the hand. And after a few days working with it,I prefer it over my Tops Baja 4.5 . I just want to thank you for your channel.
Brian... awesome knife. Just picked MTN Lion up at SMK Sevierville TN. The gal behind the counter knew her knives also. I looked at several of the Pathfinders and this one came home with me. Did not purchase sheath. I like danglers. Thanks for a great vid. These guys make a fine knife!!
Here I go again commenting on an older video as if my opinion is relevant or anyone cares. It may be an optical illusion but from the reflection on that knife's grind it sure looks to me like a convex grind. Which is ok, I was raised in the school of convex is best but that was before knives were choppers and battoning became popular. I'm not a snob against the new school, just not the way I was tought. Great video as always.
3 years later its $185 dollar knife. I love Dave's mess kits hoping they dont double in price. Definitely put condor back as the affordable entry level company, I get why pathfinder raised its prices their great quality and finished product which sets it above Condor because they're hit or miss so it only makes sense to charge more but I wish we could rewind the clock 3 years 😂
A sheath is a very personal preference.. just like a knife an a gun . Highly personal.. pks could build a nice leather sheath, and half the folks would bit*ch about it not being kydex. Make it kydex and they'll complain it isn't injection molded. . make it horizontal and they'll complain about a dangler. I think it's smart to sell just the knife, and not charge for a generic sheath... I'd rather pay 150 for a knife I choose than 220 for a knife I choose and a sheath I don't like.. Everybody fussed about the leather sheath that came with the Benchmade bushcrafter. So I was prepared to make or buy one . Turned out, I love the sheath.
I have always wanted a PKS Scorpion knife, now that they're making them "dirty by design" I want one even more. I know it's just cosmetic but they "look" more functional somehow. I do like the Mountain Lion but the Scorpion just "sings" to me. Great review, thanks.
Thank you so much for doing this review I've been looking at this knife everyday for about the past week trying to decide about buying this I just went through a divorce and when I was separated and moved out I took a vacation to go see my family for a week and when I came back two days before I was moving out my wife at the time through all my gear away I lost all my pathfinder knives I lost all my Ferrell rides my bags I lost everything this knife is something I've been looking forward to so thank you for giving this a serious review I cannot wait to get my hands on one
nice knife, if I may suggest using NW Primates method of making feathers by drawing the wood against the knife held perpendicular would suit that knife very well
I like it. If I’d known they existed before I bought my Esee 5, I probably would have gotten it instead. It’s simple, seems sturdy, a little ugly (LOL), but I like it. Can’t justify buying it. But if anything ever happens to my Esee, I’ll definitely look into getting one. Great vid. 👍
Great looking knife! Love the blade shape and the grind :) Scandi grind is what I am used to. That and full flat are my favorites. The handle shape looks great too. Over all that looks like awesome choice for outdoor knife. I like the versatility. I would probably go for the kydex sheath with it. Sweet blade indeed! And well balanced :) Nice job with the flint and char cloth! Looked so easy :) Awesome review Bryan! Big thumbs up :)
Hello, I have watched so many of your videos and subscribed and it is all about knives in survival. Why don’t you do some videos in your plumbing business??????? Thank you, Barry.
WOW WOW WOW , WHAT A GR8 KNIFE !!!. Best video Boss . Supper like it. I Love Pathfinder knife . They Have very good line & Top of it They Ask very Reliable price for " LIFETIME WARRANTY on the Blade" . I am going to share this video . Thanks
My only comment, is that not all magnesium blocks are created equal. I bought a cheep one from Harbor Freight that I couldn't light with a touch. 😳 I'm NOT exaggerating! Stick with Doan.
The snake looks like a black racer. Many Woodland snakes rattle their tails against the leaves to simulator rattlesnake. When I first saw it I was a little off put but now I'm used to it a hognose snake would do that as well if that doesn't work it'll turn over and play dead but you probably know that. Thanks for your videos I enjoy them
I love your chanal and if you have a chance pick up a PKS scorpion, they look very nice. And I was thinking about getting one and I wanted th get your opinion on it. thanks
@@SurvivalOnPurpose I'm guessing a large size hand would have no issue with the handle? I've read some complaints on the finger groove being right in the way on some hands.
I have a question. Everyone says fixing wax ect for the blade. I'm wondering about under the handles. What if anything could be done about the tang? Would be awful to lose a good knife due to tang deterioration.
Snake was a black rat knife they imitate the sound of rattle snake by rubbing they're scales together. They do not have poison. Cool find by the way i can only find garden snakes i love those critters.
Dude -- FOCUS. Most of your close-ups are fuzzy. You know the "put the hand behind it" trick -- do that more often. That said, great vid, awesome blade and cool snake camio! Love your channel.
Going to get me one., one day. Looked at them in SMKW in Tennessee. So Bryan what do you guys in Ga. Call a mountain lion. I grew up hearing it called a Catamount by my Great Great Grandfather here in N.C . And by some people a panther. Just like know what you called in Ga.
The watch is a Casio Solar Sport: amzn.to/2xPG3ad The compass is a Suunto Clipper: amzn.to/3bk4rhJ Here's a video: ua-cam.com/video/kYfXK0QdMJY/v-deo.html
tbh , i thought we`ll see you fighting the mountain lion with this knife … no such luck though :( But snake brought some relief . Why didn`t you check the balance in the wood ? Your vids lower blood pressure . Thanks !
@@SurvivalOnPurpose serious question: will this knife stop a mountain lion from attacking a person? I'm trying to gather protective gear and defensive weapons for hiking in mountain lion country.
Dave would say that it's ridiculous to chop with a knife.... It's neither an axe nor a machete. He would tell you baton it if you absolutely needed to chop something and didn't have an axe or saw
Yep... Cause I watched all his videos... He said if you're gonna use a knife to chop use a fro. If all you have is a belt knife baton it. I believe it was his Knives JMHO video
Ontario Marine Raider Bowie SP10. Because of that knife I haven't needed a hatchet in 16 years. If you held one you would understand. $60. My GB Forest hatchet for $120 happily rests in a case
nevillesavage2012 - Admittedly, I don't have a ton of experience with a "chopper", I'm just not a fan of big knives. And my point was that the knife in this vid is not a big knife...so why does it need to be used for chopping?
I think he's just showing what kind of chopping results you can expect from that knife, because there are a few out there who care. Not really recommending to use it for that :)
Dave would love seeing you chop with it, especially towards your inner thighs and frank-n-beans. I mean, I like you and your channel, but c’mon man… show better knife habits and common sense.
I don't consider what I was doing in any way bad or dangerous, I had another branch or a log between the blade and my body AND I was using very controlled chops. The knife wasn't moving more than a few inches at a time. But thanks for your concern for my well-being.
Second PFK now called Mountaineer. I got the sheath along with Micarta green scales and dirty by design blade…
Now this package comes in at SMKWS
$195. A steal… considering it’s solid along with the sheath which I believe is a great sheath… design and finish.

I tried that once. It turned out less than great.
Amen to this. If I can do it, anybody can.
I’ve had mine for several years, I love it. This model is no longer available.
Love your char clothes demo needed the chuckle. Glad you could do it.
Why's it always funny when somone else singes their fingers making a fire. I feel the burn too Mr.
I ordered the PKS Mountaineer. I'm a big fan of Dave Canterbury and all that he teaches. I can't wait to receive his knife.
How do you like the knife?
Wow, that snake was gorgeous.
Lol,as always bud another awesome video and knife. Appreciate your time very much and the snake.😊
Pathfinder Knife Shop is my adult candy store. Everything they make is awesome.
I agree
Good looking knife, the handle looks comfortable.
It is
Can't fault the price fer what you're getting, Thanks, Bryan. Be Well. ATB Ter God Bless
It is a nice stinkin’ knife for sure Terry.
I have the mountain lion too, due to wanting a jacklore type knife after leaving the UK, but settled for this instead. So far I really like it, it just performs and performs well, due to good feel, balance, and perfect size... Well done to the folks at PKS, it's a winner! Enjoy!
yes it is
My pks scorpion was stolen. Good thing I have back ups and a way to chop off fingers. Thief also stole and ole' shotgun, tools and knives. Wish I could catch 'em. I'll buy more pks's cause there good. Thanks for the video it reminded me of a 14 year old boy in woods. Took me back. Thanks again.
That is a bummer. My Tahoma Field Knife was stolen too.
The slow motion of the fero rod sparking looked like the 4th of July! Coming from Dave Canterbury I know it will excel at bushcraft chores and be a quality product. Thanks for showing it Bryan.
I like he slo mo sparks
Great review and demo. Also, good tip to look up when selecting a campsite. That sweet looking blade is definitely being added to my short list!
It is a good one
Very nice knife. That’s my favorite knife of ant that I’ve ever seen. Thank you sir.

They offer a phenomenal value in my opinion.

Always interesting and informative content. Thank you.
Looks like a classic ..... Very nice.
Yes it is
The pathfinder school is my go to store for great outdoor gear I've spent good money and got quality gear for it their knives are great

I'm loving the new higher grind looks like it will slice through space and time nicely!
It cuts wood pretty good too ;-)

Thanks for watching.
Nice looking knife. Thanks for camping reminder and black snake closeup 😁
Thanks
Sweet knife! PKS makes great stuff at very reasonable prices.
I agree
Great knife. I’ve ordered a few pathfinder knives. Thanks
Very nice looking knife. Looks like a quality product as well. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent quality
Awesome Review Brian. Just came across this knife on SRO site. They now give you custom options.
They make excellent knives.
Plsk1 is the knife you were referring to.
Yes it was
Don't know how I missed this one, a beast of a knife and my like was the number of the beast 666
Thanks for sharing, great job as usual. God bless
Thank you
Looks like a dandy! Thanks for sharing 👍👍
It is
I like that knife. I need to order one of Dave's knives soon.
I think they are seriously a great value.
nice knife, if I may suggest using NW Primates method of making feathers by drawing the wood against the knife held perpendicular would suit that knife very well
I am not really very good at that technique
Balanced !!!
Indeed.
I like that knife it looks great all around.

I am not a snake guy. I leave them all alone
what kind of watvh is that , Might be a G shock. Just picked one up my self they are great.
Awesome 😎😃👍👍🇺🇸
Thanks 👍
I love watching you throw knifes great review bro
Thanks
Good review Bryan, Thank you.
Thanks
Pepe has a ton of confidence in your skill he he.
Most animals are not very bright
I like that knife.
Nice knife, looks like a chef knife.
Survival knife
Love the knife. after watch this video I’m definitely going to pick one up tnx 👍🏻
It is a good knife
Well made knife. Nice testing
Thanks!
I love your chanal and if you have a chance pick up a PKS scorpion, they look very nice. And I was thinking about getting one and I wanted th get your opinion on it. thanks
Id like to see this knife with a broomstick handle. The index finger "choil" like contour has me a little hesitant. Same for the scorpion series.
I like it how it is.
@@SurvivalOnPurpose I'm guessing a large size hand would have no issue with the handle? I've read some complaints on the finger groove being right in the way on some hands.
I have a question. Everyone says fixing wax ect for the blade. I'm wondering about under the handles. What if anything could be done about the tang? Would be awful to lose a good knife due to tang deterioration.
I don’t think that is an issue
So 150$ for a good knife and leather sheath I would buy it
Thanks for bringing this to us! I was also wondering: do you have a set of throwing knives? What is your favorite knife to throw?
I have a few Schrade and S7W throwing knives. But I actually like whatever is in my hand
Snake was a black rat knife they imitate the sound of rattle snake by rubbing they're scales together. They do not have poison. Cool find by the way i can only find garden snakes i love those critters.
The wood is called "punky wood" Bryan. Nice video
Ray getoutdoors - His name is Bryan.
Yeah, but it wasn't quite as soft as I would call punky.
Dude -- FOCUS. Most of your close-ups are fuzzy. You know the "put the hand behind it" trick -- do that more often. That said, great vid, awesome blade and cool snake camio! Love your channel.
Thanks
Great video my salsa friend...😂
Just for you Carlos ;-)
that's a nice knife
I agree
Good Theme music!!
Thanks
Brian, what do ya think of the Grizzly?
I like it too
Good one!
Yep
Have you reviewed some Cudeman knives?
I have not.
Going to get me one., one day. Looked at them in SMKW in Tennessee. So Bryan what do you guys in Ga. Call a mountain lion. I grew up hearing it called a Catamount by my Great Great Grandfather here in N.C . And by some people a panther. Just like know what you called in Ga.
Mountain lion
Cougar
Good vid , I like it. What happened to the Bronco Project?
It is sort of stalled out ;-)
I'd like to see how this knife handles field dressing game
me too
good job
Thanks
Well it's not a schrade, but it is ok. Half decent budget price too!
Roy Fernbach Haha a Schrade...you can't be serious!
It is a running joke because this channel used to have "Schrade Saturday"...
Things change
Classic !
Inded
What skunk ? Good to see an other knife video!
Skunk? What skunk? Well, stay tuned because there are more on the way
What kind of watch are you wearing in this vid?
Been looking for one with a compass.
Whats the price range on it?
Thanks for the video.
The watch is a Casio Solar Sport: amzn.to/2xPG3ad
The compass is a Suunto Clipper: amzn.to/3bk4rhJ
Here's a video: ua-cam.com/video/kYfXK0QdMJY/v-deo.html
Have they banned BIC or Zippo lighters in texas ?
This knife looks like a kitchen knife.
I've tried for 6 or 7 months to get this knife always out of stock I get e-mailed when more are ready but log on out of stock
I just checked and the knife seems to be in stock but the optional sheath isn't
What kind of snake was that
Black one
tbh , i thought we`ll see you fighting the mountain lion with this knife … no such luck though :( But snake brought some relief . Why didn`t you check the balance in the wood ? Your vids lower blood pressure . Thanks !
I wanted to be as scientific as possible

Yep... Cause I watched all his videos... He said if you're gonna use a knife to chop use a fro. If all you have is a belt knife baton it. I believe it was his Knives JMHO video
Definitely believe it now watched the video he says that right in the beginning of the video...
looks like a condor
Not to me
Survival On Purpose I like the Scorpion. Someday gonna get it. Oh btw I enjoy your videos.

Ok, it works, but why do people insist on chopping with a knife?
Hey, bashing a bk2 around is pretty dang fun.
